I've Been In A Lot Of Fandoms, But I'll Be Honest There's Never Been A More Spiteful, Hateful, Judgemental

I've been in a lot of fandoms, but I'll be honest there's never been a more spiteful, hateful, judgemental fandom than 9-1-1 for content creators.

And I'm not talking about the rightful attention brought to works that were, quite blatantly, plain ignorance or outright racism.

There's a literal poll going around at the moment trashing certain tropes and the comments/tags are horrific. Let people live. Let people write. Fanfiction should be freeing and fun and it doesn't have to be a direct reflection of canon. The haughty policing of 9-1-1 fanfiction has gotten to the point where the only fanfiction being produced is the same flat, bland, regurgitated styles, concepts and characterisations over and over again.

The limitations authors are being bullied to subscribe to or be publicly blasted and harassed online over are the death of fandom creativity. Its the first and only fandom I've been in there the actual fans themselves have been the reason I've left the fandom.

(Like literally one poll option is that a character is depicted as gay, not bisexual. I think that about sums up the mentality of the fandom.)

Congratulations on outing yourself as a multi-faceted bigot overflowing with wilful ignorance and in possession of not a single atom of maturity or capability for understanding.

Trans people are upset that an anti-Semitic game created by a bigoted, racist TERF is being supported, the funds of which will in portion be given to anti-trans propaganda efforts. Every time you buy something HP related, JKR gets money. Money which she then openly brags about donating to campaigns and charities and political corporations who are anti-LGBT+ and whom are actively harmful to the LGBT+ community as a whole. That a single, non-relevant trans character is being included as a poor shield against the rightful claims of transphobia and bigotry.

Jewish people are upset that a heavily anti-Semitic game is being created based off the anti-Semitic lore of the original books and movies, despite Jewish people pointing out the first twice that its offensive and anti-Semitic. They've told us time and time again that the representations, historical adaptations and lore of things within the HP world are copy-pastes of anti-Semitic propaganda. That JKR specifically took components used in the Holocaust propaganda and put them in a game targeted at teens and young adults.

@chickpeathief made a detailed, wonderful post explaining the intricacies of the latter, and I highly recommend reading it before you open your mouth and declare the trans and/or Jewish people rightfully upset that the game is being upheld over blatant bigotry are "autistic trans crybabies who should die mad about it and shut up because they make the community of people happy to support a rampantly bigoted woman look bad."

If you honest to god look at people who are upset about JKR being repeatedly allowed to harm others just because she wrote some magical universe you're balls deep in, and you have the audacity to demean them, you really need to take a long look at yourself and take a step back from the internet and evaluate who you are as a person. This is appalling.

Woke and maybe trans and/or autistic crybabies are really spoiling the story of Hogwart's Legacy as if that's anything other than a thinly veiled childish and petty act. As if that's gonna deter people from playing the game lmao

"Grow up and read a different book!1!1!1! Play a different game!!1!1!1!"

How about you grow up and realize that you're making yourselves and the LGBT+ community look leagues worse every day.

Die mad about it.

no it literally doesn’t when the person in question is supporting a pedo??? get a grip lol why do u care more about being pro ship than anti pedophilia. telling

I think this is a definitive place to end the discussion. You're being deliberately obtuse to anything I'm saying, likely because you're offended I had the audacity to call you out in the first place. Which is understandable, but unfortunate. However I do stand by my point, as you stand by yours.

(To summarise, you made a proship callout, I said you shouldn't, you immediately switched up to saying you were warning people of something completely different to what you actually said, I'm resolute in saying that's not what you said in the first place, you're resolute in saying they're the same thing.)

Thank you though for providing a discussion I hope is enlightening upon reflection. I'm not sure if its day or night in your time, so have a pleasant one either way.

the hell? i’d say that’s relevant info lmfao 🤣

OP did not mention, at all, anywhere in their post or posts prior that their actual reason for calling out the user was because they're a known, real-life pedophile and a current danger with an accessible, public platform. They only mentioned it after I told them callout posts based on the proship-vs-antiship argument result in an influx of harassment.

"Block this user because they're proship" =/= "block this user because they're a known, real-life pedophile and an active danger."

OP made a callout post based on one thing, then in response to me telling them its a well-intentioned but bad idea, changed their entire basis of the callout.

I have no issue with bringing active pedophiles to public attention. My sole issue and the current nature of the discussion is the fact that OP said one thing, got offended I opposed it, then said something completely, vastly different to defend their original action.

Does that clarify the issue?

I mean Harry does say homophobic things and gets excused because people think hes part of the community.

It's cool of he doesnt want to claim us but he should maybe chill it on the 'ambiguous" answers he gives in every interview, block the question like most celebs do. And also stop talking about us

An excellent way to prove the entire point of my post, thank you, anon.

Re; "not claiming us." We're not a cult. The LGBT+ community isn't regimental. People can choose to live ambiguously, in the closet or as out and proud as they please. Someone choosing to be ambiguous or to remain closeted does not devalue their identity or mean they're against the community. People who are ambiguous or closeted are still as much LGBT+ as people who are out, and are still as deserving of their identities as anyone else. We also need to bear in mind that Harry grew up under the strict management of a company known for being extremely controlling, manipulative and bigoted.

He's been harassed, called a faggot, speculated about, demeaned, ridiculed, sexually harassed, touted as a womanising sex symbol, stalked and physically attacked.

If he wants to maintain his privacy and not declare a label, he had every right to do so. I reiterate; every single person has the right to not proclaim their identity.

Secondly. I can promise you if Harry started blocking questions you'd immediately start branding him as homophobic or accusing him of once again baiting the general public by wearing dresses but refusing to tell anyone why. Its a no-win situation for him, as it has been for many, many other celebrities. He doesn't have to answer those questions and as and when he chooses to, he can answer them in any way he chooses. He's earned that freedom. After years of having what he says controlled, edited and manipulated, he's earned the right to answer questions on his own terms, with his own words.

"And also stop talking about us." Again, refer to the above point. Within weeks you'd been trashing him saying he's another ignorant Hollywood bigot that refuses to acknowledge the LGBT+ community. There's no middle ground.
