Oh Yeah The WC Fandom Is Fucking Insane.

Oh yeah the WC fandom is fucking insane.

There's a very popular fanartist who has an OC that's a villain and people were harassing her because her villain is a white cat in a clan of black cats, and she was bullied and abused by them for her fur color.

People were literally accusing her of being a racist because "The white cat is being abused by the black cats, the artist is clearly saying that black people are evil and violent and want to victimize white people!"

The artist literally based the dynamic on how crows will ostracize birds in their flock that have albinism and people were going, "Why did she have to do this story with cats? Why not just do it with crows? Kind of sus :/"

Like,,, hello? What? It's fine if the story is about birds, but if it's about cats, it's racist? How does that make any fucking sense.

TEA!!! SEPHIROTH!!!! HIIIIII 💕💜💙:D

Why hello.

My vibe about ships since forever tbh

Replicating a celebrity's tattoos and personal, custom jewellery is incredibly weird, invasive, parasocial and disrespectful.

People should not have to beg you not to copy tattoos they got to honor their dead parents or copyright jewellery they made for their significant others. People should not have to constantly cover and hide their bodies to prevent people from copying their personal body art.

Its not cute. Its not harmless. Its not sweet, or a way to connect to them, or be close to them. Its not 'whatever.'

Its creepy. Invasive. Disrespectful.

Imagine you go through the process of losing a loved one and designing a piece of art meant to represent them and mourn them and continue their life on your body and one day some random stranger comes up to you and shoved that same tattoo on their body in your face and brags about how they got it done because they just love you so much and thought it was so cool.

If you still think its just a harmless little way of showing love or something, I really don't know what else to say to you. Its fucked up. Its gross.

am i misunderstanding this? are they calling disagreements and arguments inherently harassment?

Pretty much. Its a troll account undoubtedly made after I corrected someone or clowned them for something they said. I've received a multitude of asks and reblogs from them today. Pretty pathetic but nothing I'm not used to, and it gives me the opportunity to have a pretty good laugh.

But for the general record: it was mostly a meme. Kpop has somehow made its way back onto my Instagram feed and I was reminded how unhinged the BTS fandom can get, especially if you actually engage with them.

I had to make my main ship in a rp server that I just found out being run by antis being both 20 years old

I only staying in the server because: A. Keeping an eye if the mods & owner decided to gaslight everyone into saying that all proshippers are pedophiles (& other bs) again, and B. It's the only good rp server in the fandom in discord

You could always create a server yourself, although that does come with a lot of responsibility which I do not suggest taking on without preparation and certainty that its something you want to do presumably for the long term.

Unfortunately fandoms often fall victim to having one or a small, select few options for suitable or dominating spaces within them. It can be hard to dig the fandom out of that hole and introduce/expand/improve upon the options available.

In terms of the gaslighting, there are plenty of resources available on the true nature of proshipping and its history if you do want to offer alternative information, although you should be aware countering their argument will likely result in you getting banned from the space.
