People Can Actually Do What They Want Because Its Fiction. Hope This Helps.

For future reference, you can simply use the blocking and muting functions on Tumblr to avoid users and content you're uncomfortable with. Whining like a child and trying to publicly shame someone contributes nothing to curating your own online experience.

Also, Will cannot be 'mistreated' outside of canon events because he simply isn't real. Godspeed.

ok so I’m not gonna say How i know but ummmm. maybe…Some People (finalboybyers) are fucking weird and wrong . don’t ship literal kids with adults!!!!!! that’s it !

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.

omg so true about the 911 thing!! don’t they get exhausted?? I’m certainly exhausted by seeing them blast fics they don’t agree with continuously

I can honestly say its reached the point where if I see a discourse post about 911's fans and fan content, I know its a Madney blog before I even look at the URL.

Its perfectly fine to generally disagree with what someone has written, or to dislike what they have written. But the solution to that is to simply move on and not read it. Everyone would happier that way.

Fanfiction is like food. Its personal. Everyone has different tastes. If someone is eating food or making food you don't like, you are under no obligation to eat it and you certainly have no right to demand that they stop cooking/eating.

I'd actually really like you to tell me where you think Billy should've, or in fact even could've gotten help from. And not from the standpoint of a modern fan watching a historical-setting TV show with therapy and modern concepts of psychology and sociology at your finger tips.

I'm talking about where does an abused, bipolar, isolated, terrified victim living in an era where beating your kids is discipline, stuck in a backwater town full of snotty teenagers and gruff men in their fifties, get help?

Therapy in the eighties was for war vets, alcoholics and depressed housewives. The cops were just as likely to beat you up as your abusive parent. A town like Hawkins was unlikely to have any viable professional options for therapy outside of some underqualified school counsellor. Much less anywhere an 'orphaned' almost-adult with no money and no other family could go.

Billy is a complete stranger to anyone in Hawkins, so its not even like he has any foundation of trust or respect or loyalty to rely on.

Billy realistically has no money (the moment he eventually gets a job he's possessed and killed anyway), nowhere to go, no support system, no understanding of himself, no resources.

And lets not forget; the first person to know about Billy's abuse left him behind, the second watches him get abused, and the third routinely believes he deserves it and is frequently, even if unintentionally, the cause of it.

Telling people that Billy should've just helped himself, or asked for help, is like telling a homeless person to just 'stop being homeless.'

No but everything you said about that part of the 911 fandom is true. My friend had a very bad breakdown due to how they (and anonymous others after then) treated her for the past year. Diagnosed with depression and anxiety and everything. (Im saying this with her permission, obv.) All of it could have been avoided by people just blocking and moving on, instead of attacking and inciting discourse because of a difference of opinion of one scene. Etiquette just thrown out the window…

Unfortunately, its something I've noticed is heavily prevalent in fandoms where the source material is based on reality and realism. The majority of fans are incredibly rigid in how they interact with the source material and how they police other people's interactions and interpretations.

I can understand how fans of a mixed couple and a POC character would feel protective over preserving the canon state of the relationship and characterisations, but when it comes at the expense of the well-being of actual people, that's where I draw the line.

Witch-hunting users, creating "private" servers to trash authors, inciting harassment and witch-hunting online are all behaviors I've seen and I've seen prominently. And I'm not saying they're the only culprits within the fandom, but there is definitely a significant amount of them partaking.

Its unfortunate because honestly, if they didn't try to burn everything they dictated unworthy, people would be a lot more willing to just leave them alone. There wouldn't be half the spite-written fics and retaliations. Its an endless cycle.

genshin fans will be like HE LOOKS LIKE A LITERAL CHILD and its just some fucking twink
