Fandom Toxicity - Tumblr Posts

so random but i feel like you just… can’t like certain things without judgement anymore like you could say “i like bnha/mha” and you get the most judgemental looks.

like i like genshin impact- i like the characters and the story and stuff, but i don’t say anything because i know the first thing people will say is “go touch grass” or “ew really?”

the thing is most of these judgemental looks are because of the people in the fandom- thirsting over a character’s ankles or screaming at eachother about which ship is better, or even just being generally assholes

so… my new motto, don’t judge a fandom by the people in it or something idk where i was going with this-

A Radiodust shipper known only as Shay was bullied by Huskerdust fans on Twitter, and their sister later reported via discord that they had unalived themselves. There’s a big Google Doc detailing the incident here:

I already hated Huskerdust, but ever since finding out that Huskerdust shippers bullied a Radiodust shipper to death, I don’t think I can ever support it, regardless of what happens in the show. Are you happy, Huskerdust fandom? You have blood on your hands, and all because of a ship.

For anyone who wants to know one of the main reasons why I hate Huskerdust so much…This is why. The toxic fandom. I’ve also been getting harassment because I don’t ship Huskerdust, but it’s never been this bad.

Are you happy, Huskerdust fans? Was it worth getting blood on your hands because of a ship? Because I hope it was. I hope that you sleep soundly at night knowing that you killed an innocent person just because they didn’t like your ship. May Shay rest in peace.

TO ALL OF HAZBIN/HELLUVA THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

TW: SU/I/CI/DE

Context: A queer Haxbin fan in her 20s that goes by the fake name Shay commited S*icide after being attacked by many Hazbin fans just because she didnt ship Huskerdust. She supported Vivziepop financially for years and was a Radiodust shipper. The document goes into more detail of it, but I just want everyone to spread the word. Like Viv needs to say something about this and not ignore this. The fandom needs to be hold accountable for this, they already gotten away with a lot of stuff but this is to far. Rest in Peace Shay ❤️

Vivziepop really needs to do something about the toxic Huskerdust fans. She should have stepped in when they bullied a Radiodust shipper to death, but she didn’t, and Huskerdust shippers are only getting more toxic. I keep having to delete comments on my Wattpad fics because I keep getting harassed for not writing/expressing my dislike of Huskerdust, and I know I’m not the only one. One toxic shipper commented the exact thing three times, and when I deleted their comments, they said that they were trying to ‘teach me’ that Huskerdust is meant to be a slow burn. Like not liking a stupid ship makes me an uneducated rube. I ended up having to block them to make them shut up and stop bothering me.

Vivziepop needs to do something about this. Even a simple, ‘Hi, this is not acceptable, do not bully people for not liking Huskerdust’ would help. Please. Vivziepop, control your fandom before someone else gets bullied to death.

If you go into a fic with a pairing you don’t like, and you give the writer shit for not writing about the pairing you like, you’re hot garbage and you should never be allowed to participate in fandom again.

‘NOOOO WHERE IS MY (Insert ship)’ SHUT UP.

‘BOO! YOU’RE HOMOPHOBIC FOR NOT SHIPPING (insert ship)’ FUCK OFF

‘BUT I WANTED (Insert ship)’ I DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU WANT, WRITE YOUR OWN DAMN FIC

‘YOU CAN’T SHIP (insert ship) BECAUSE (Insert ship) IS CANON’ DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE?
