Man I Don't Know If Its Antis Or Mean People, But Two Actors Got Harassed In Under A Month

man I don't know if its antis or mean people, but two actors got harassed in under a month

One was an actor for "Mad Max Furiosa" because the character he played almost sexually assaulted the young Furiosa in the movie, and after getting "concerned" messages on social media, he posted a statement on Facebook that essentially goes "my job is to portray a character based on the direction and script provided to me. I appreciate your understanding and support in recognizing the distinction between fiction and reality."

Now we have another harassment case where an actor for Game of Thrones had to limit comments because he was getting comments like "where where you when the heir to the throne was murdered?" and "man I hope someone jumps this guy" etc

I'm begging people to separate the actor from the character

So many actors have been victim of delusional idiots going for their throats over literal fictional roles. I remember Dacre Montgomery speaking out about getting some absolutely vile hate because he played Billy Hargrove and its like... What goes through these people's heads? Do they not see the monsters and the pause button and connect that its not actually real?

For your consideration 🙃

(By the way you don't need to put gaps in links when sending them, you can just paste the whole link.)

Link to the post for reference.

That aside, nothing about that post is new, per se. Asks like this have been going around for years and are only getting more and more creative the more and more social issues we generate.

Its why on my personal blog, asks like this simply get straight up blocked. I don't just delete them, I flat out block whatever anonymous muppet sent it. On this blog I provide a little bit more leniency, both as an example and because the very nature of this blog is discussing things or pointing out things like why those asks are giant, steaming bait turds.

Some asks will be warranted a smidge of assumed good faith, usually if I suspect its a case of English not being someone's primary language.

But that said; yeah. I fully support the post. Always be wary of asks which try to prod you for virtue signalling on something or asks which try to namedrop others as being a bad person without any attached proof.

By the way if you send me snot-nosed massive rants bending over ass backwards and tying yourself into knots to create the most victimised "exception" to that one safe space post I wrote, you're just straight up getting blocked.

I'll read the first few lines up until it becomes apparent what you've sent and then I'm skipping over all 14 paragraphs to the end to hit BLOCK.

Stop wasting your time. Stop wasting mine. I don't care what you have to say and nobody else is going to see your white knighting.

(The person who sent me the ask is blocked so won't see this but for future reference to the rest of you.)

Can I tell you why I don't like the anti community anymore? It's okay if you don't but I just need to get it off my chest given I saw someone acting like a victim when their blog was deleted for targeted bullying lol.

But it shouldn't have taken me as long as it did to realize, but I've watched anti's for a while - especially a handful in the ficitonal other / self shipping community, who just absolutely vague and bully those who don't agree with them off this website and out of the comm. It's a community that's supposed to be safe and comfortable with the idea of shipping with fiction characters but 'oh no if you ship with that one you're problematic, you will be vagued about it and we will do everything possible to put you don't til you leave or we start targeted harassment til you're forced to leave'.

It's so wild to me that this space, any space, that preaches being as inclusive as possible and non-judgemental has a long, long list of rules of what can and can not be and if you over step that line, you will no longer be allowed within that space. Their anti space is super bad this kind of stuff. They sit on the idea of being 'morally better' while also being absolutely nasty, not communicating properly when something makes them uncomfortable ( ie making the choice to vague post instead ) and bullying everyone who disagrees with them.

I don't know. It just bothers me so much. You hate to see it but if I had to say 'this is what changed my perspective', that would be it. How can on think themselves the 'moral better' while making others feel like the lowest dirt and isolating them from the community they enjoyed?

Welcome, oh ye enlightened one.

(But on a more serious note, yeah. Most anti spaces are just a cesspit of people tearing apart the weakest link and scrambling to be the Pure One.)

Fucking insane how people will see something I post that they agree with but they have to virtue signal that they're not a proshipper before expressing their agreement/support even when the post has nothing to do with proshipping.

Saying someone has "zero brain cells present" because you didn't understand their addition to a post doesn't seem like a very good way to "facilitate collected, open-minded discussions between opposing or conflicting views". The addition was clearly about how some fandom spaces are so separated from reality that they end up treating fandom drama like shipping as some huge priority to sink effort into and how arguing over a ship will somehow make the world a better place. It won't and some fan areas would do well to keep it all in perspective and have a reality check over what's an actual problem in life. What a mean spirited blog you run if this is how you treat anyone trying to interact with the topics you bring up.

Its the tag I use so people can block my more nonsensical or argumentative reblogs if that's not something they want to see. Its also pretty accurate, frankly. If you get that tag, you've earned it.

I understood it perfectly. I also understood it was a completely irrelevant and pointless addition to the post because it directly contradicts the very nature of the post.

If you look back through the reblogs you'll see well over a hundred other people have done the exact same thing and been given the exact same response. If you say something stupid on my posts, beyond a certain point I will simply react as I see fit.

I do not care that I've hurt your feelings or theirs. Life is unfortunate that way sometimes. Its not mean spirited. Its called reaching the threshold of my patience.

Responding to someone saying people need respite by essentially regurgitating that they're allowed respite as long as they never ever forget that people are being murdered and as long as people are forced to moderate how much respite they need is... Really not the kind of moral victory the reblogger thought it was.

People are entitled to respite. Period. As much of it as they need. Respite doesn't magically erase the knowledge that the world is burning. We don't need people like that reblogger permitting us respite as long as we only take just enough of it to reach that shitty perfect balance they have in mind.

Once activism becomes forced it is no longer activism and it is no longer as effective. Also, waving around one of those very same world issues as some kind of brownie point to your argument is disgusting.
