Fandom Confession Blogs Are An Instant Block For Me Because 99% Of The Time They Are Solely Created To

Fandom confession blogs are an instant block for me because 99% of the time they are solely created to create and fuel fandom drama and intra-community arguments.

"I just want to give people a space to speak honestly!"

No. You want to watch people argue with each other and spew controversial opinions that cause even more arguments. You're peddling conflict as entertainment.

The fact that we're slowly losing the understanding that if we want more of something like a TV show or a type of merch we have to support it is. Astonishing, honestly.

People are demanding to know why they should have to spend money on X or tweet about Y or leaving ratings and reviews on Z and why can't they just get more of it without having to do anything for it and each time I want to shake them and tell them that its a transaction.

Studios don't make movies for free. Creators don't make merchandise for free. If a TV show has dirt-low numbers, the service is going to cancel it so it stops making a loss and can funnel resources into something more popular.

I cannot stress this enough. If you want something to succeed and if you want more of something, you absolutely have to engage with it and support it and push for more.

Creator and fan relationships are transactions. The creator gives you the content in exchange for things like your money, your ratings and your views.

You'd think if antis were so normal and okay they wouldn't be sending rape victims CSEM and constantly having to argue against literal laws that contradict their claims, but hey. The posts proshippers make are totally just for our own sake, right?

youd think if pr0sh1pping was so okay and normal they wouldnt make constant posts trying to reassure themselves that its totally not gross???

Creative freedom in the 911 fandom will get you sniped on sight by a Madney blog.

Every now and then I get a sudden resurgence in bot followers and I sit and ponder what sin I committed on this site that lead them to my trail. Which post did I like, which seed follower did I miss, which of my posts drew them in like moths to a flame?

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.

Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.

There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.
