I know this topic is extremely controversial and extremely nuanced and blah blah blah and I'm lighting a rock on fire and bashing my own skull in with it, but....

Sometimes. People are just ready to die.

That's it. I firmly believe assisted suicide, at absolute minimum for the terminally ill, should be a universal concept. People want to die with dignity. People want to die with comfort. People want to die feeling like themselves.

When someone is ready to die, peacefully, we should let them.

Wattpad's TOS are actually criminally hypocritical and ridiculous the more you read them. The website is literally just:

"Give us all your content for free to do with as we please and let us expose you to 493737573 website cookies and advertisements but also if you change the color of our logo we'll sue and if someone gets inaccurate medical advice from your fanfiction and sues we're also going to sue you for exposing us to risk."

Wattpad can mine your content but you can't mine Wattpad.

Wattpad can sue you for absolutely anything they perceive as "damaging" or "breach of terms" but the moment you make an account you release them of any and all claims, damages and responsibility.

If Anne Rice 2.0 does happen, Wattpad has so kindly declared that they reserve the right to be the sole defense, so they can throw you under the bus and then charge you for any and all fees incurred including legal and "related" costs. Oh, and you have to co-operate because, guess what? You agreed to!

In the instance you do wind up in a legal battle for your own content you're shit out of luck because Wattpad will have no part in it other than making sure its absolved of any responsibility and costs, and you're restricted to attending Court only in the Province of Ontario.

Like. How anyone still uses Wattpad is beyond me. Completely. It so obviously nothing more than a for-profit content theft facilitator. I feel like we've just moved so far beyond the need for Wattpad. Its so outdated even if you don't look at the TOS.

That post you made about Harry Potter and how to not financially support and fund the franchise and put more money in Joanne's pockets felt like a lie because I swear I got the impression that even that wasn't allowed when the whole thing started

To be clear; I stopped. Completely. I compartmentalized it all and just stopped interacting with anything Harry Potter online whatsoever. But I always wished it would be fine to still be able to do certain fandom things without supporting her, but people were saying that even using the tag or reading the fanfiction or making fanart was still supporting the ip and not letting it die completely as a topic on the internet was indirectly putting money in her pockets.

It wasn't until I came across a post from a queer woman from somewhere in the global south with heavy OCD and intrusive thoughts or something like that, commenting on how hostile of a thing it became for someone of her affliction; the way people were treating it like do or die. Pointing out that no matter how much trans people and allys cut off their support of her, she has other large means of income that we won't be able to touch, and there will still always be transphobic homophobic Harry Potter fans that will continue to support her actively, putting that money in her pockets. Another thing she mentioned was the treatment of Harry Potter and Joannes bigotry in contrast to the treatment of FNAF and the creators bigotry. And lastly something about the USAmericanized nature of it? I don't really remember that part but I think I understood it at the time I read it (maybe it was something about all the other countries the IP is popular in who are probably more conservative and unaware or caring of the issues with her who will still put money in her pockets, or maybe it was something about American fans fixating and posing the support of her as the ultimate battlefield of Trans Rights to other queer and trans individuals trying to be quiet fans who are facing Much Worse in their countries)

Anyways after that I briefly started reading ao3 fanfic again, just put a filter for anything before 2019 or so, and then my interest more gently fizzled out.

I can't remember what my point is anymore, maybe just to bring these arguments to your attention(also I am not arguing against the financial boycott or ending of support for this woman through her ip).

Harry Potter will never stop earning money. That's just the flat reality of it; I mean, look at the likes of Elvis and the original Sherlock Holmes books and every other 'dead' media that's still earning money. Short of making Harry Potter an illegal piece of media, yes, there will still always be a number of people giving her money.

The goal is to give her less money. To turn Harry Potter from a prominent, profitable cashcow into a defunct piece of media that only select groups are still clinging to. To make it so that JK Rowling has to choose between paying her bills and funding anti-trans movements.

When something stops bringing in a certain amount of profit, studios start looking elsewhere. When a cashcow starts drying up, they stop trying to milk it as hard. Which in turn means less productions for JK Rowling to collect her pocketmoney from.

What would you rather; JK Rowling getting $100,000 or JK Rowling only getting $10,000?

Something is better than nothing. Damage reduction is better than open exposure. If everyone just rolled over and gave up because "things will keep happening anyway" the world will literally be a rancid, fetid wasteland of bigotry and violence.

I'd much rather watch JK Rowling fizzle out into a bitter old wench sustained only by the dogged support of other stubborn bigots than watch people willingly disregard and condone bigotry because its "easier" and "she'll be a bigot anyway."

I'd much rather JK Rowling only have $10,000 to donate to shitty movements over $72,000. Shitty movements can do a lot less with a lot less money.

why are you harassing people, little bro? The main proship rule is not to harass other people. You're not a proship, you're a damn fucking anti

Want to feel alive?Enjoy flirting with danger?Love the taste of thrill and risk?Willing to walk on the wild side?Argue with an unhinged BTS fan about how other groups are successful completely independently of BTS today!#myfandomrealitea#sephiroth speaks#fandom#proship#reality#proshipping#discourse#new hobby unlocked#i've held venomous animals and been in less danger

You are a proshipper but you are for threatening a real person only because this person does not correspond to your views. You're only targeting Rowling because she's a woman. If she were a man you would behave differently. Nobody touches homophobic, transphobic and misogynistic men. All the proshippers around me told me that they are against harassment that they are against any threats. You are undermining the values of proship. You give the anti food they want

What is "comship" and "safeship?"

(I saw an anti tag their anti ship post with #safeship which doesn't make sense to me but I was afraid to ask them lmao)

Comship and safeship both have multiple meanings and modern usage.

"Comship" is shorthand for "complex ship." This is being used by both antis and proshippers but is currently being hailed as an "alternative to proship" by most people.

"Comship" is also shorthand for "comfort ship," although you may sometimes see it spelt as "comfship."

"Safe ship" is another term for "comfort ship." That one pairing which is just homey, always hits the feel good spot, ect.

*Some antis are using "safeship" as a way to mark their account as "safe for shipping" excluding proship or questionable/dark content. So essentially a place that is "safe" to "ship normally."

Seeing them being used together is definitely a contradiction; but its likely they were just using the tags for exposure and to generate interaction. Its a common tactic used by both proshippers and anti-shippers.

(For example if I make a post which is relative to both anti shipping and proshipping, and/or I want discussion from both sides, I will use both the anti-ship tag and the proship tag.)

*Some proshippers also use #shippingsafe or #safeshipper to indicate they are a "shipping safe space."

tumblr activists stop accusing your posts of racism & privilege challenge

Level: Impossible.

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.

hi, sorry i'm looking for help w an ao3 thing and the subreddit is closed and you seem fairly knowledgeable so hopefully you don't mind me putting this in your askbox haha

is there a way to search for fics with relationships involving a certain character? obviously you can filter for specific relationships, but if you don't particularly care *what* the pairing is as long as it has character x in it, is there a way to do that?

my problem is i'm stuck in ensemble character hell, and so often fics tagged with that character feature them only in the background. whereas (generally) if a character is tagged in a relationship then it's much more likely that they'll be in the main focus.

so is there a search function that will turn up fics tagged x/y AND x&y AND x/y/z and so on?

This Reddit thread may be of some use to you.

Currently there is no surefire way to search specifically for all ship options involving one character at once, but there are several ways you can somewhat navigate the search function in order to achieve something similar. There are some instructions for this on the thread, but there is also the AO3 Hidden Search Operator Cheatsheet.

hi sorry your name sounds like an angel's /vpos

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.

They're currently on sideblog #2 spamming my inbox with DMs about how I'm nothing but a pathetic anti hating on JK Rowling because she's a hard working female. Do with the ask as you please, but over-all I think its pretty clear to anyone who looks at my blog that I am definitely not an anti 😂

I do keep blocking them, but I will commend their persistence.

Anyway. Left hand on the Bible for all its worth, not an anti. I do clown on idiots if they start it, but I do not condone actual harassment or genuine targeted bullying. I give what I get to a certain degree and that's all.

Absolutely hilarious to block someone who's harassing me and being an asshole in my ask box then check and see my follower count has gone down by 1.

The wolf was in the sheep pen, my dudes.

Unpopular opinion but Harry Potter franchise will not suddenly stop existing or being a relevant part of popculture if you bully some fanfiction writers on tumblr.

We could start working towards reducing the damage JKR caused by being popular person with a platform but people would rather do bare minimum of telling random HP fans to kys instead of doing any real work.

I've got a multitude of posts about this already. The unfortunate reality is that JK Rowling will always earn income from Harry Potter. When something is and was popular on the magnitude that Harry Potter is and was its impossible to completely kill it, but what we can do is metaphorically kill the creator.

(I must absolutely stress I mean that metaphorically.)

I've already detailed it in my other posts, but the goal should be to withdraw support until the only people still funding and platforming her are bigots like herself. Let her rot in her own community and only have a voice amongst people who only care about her because she parrots their rhetoric.

De-platform Harry Potter. Pirate it instead of paying for it. Downvote it and review bomb it on all platforms. Kill the cash cow it became.

If we can bully a multi-billion dollar company into changing the CGI of a fucking hedgehog we can force Warner Brothers to owe JK Rowling the bare minimum.

hey, anon who made the warrior cat ask about a person making a family tree to prevent people shipping incest.

Alot of people misinterpreted my post I'm not talking about canon (which is also stupid they're fucking cats even when people say "they're human like! Don't excuse it that they're just cats!" weirdo people)

I'm talking about a fanmade fandom with ocs based on clangen GalaxyClan the creator of that series made a family tree cz people started accidentally shipping cats who are related

I personally ship Pansybloom with her sisters especially Brindlehail 😈

I love the family tree vid personally more inspiration for incest ships

My original post was talking about how people who make their own fandoms think they can make the internet do what they want and have boundaries with fiction regarding it.

That's impossible, once you've made a fandom just accept that people are gonna be "weird" about it

I know nothing about Warrior Cats and honestly the more I hear about it the more I'm thankful I'm not part of the fandom. I swear that I've never actually seen any positive content about it; the only posts I've seen are fans shitting themselves over canon and fanon content.

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.

Gee, I wonder why "art" made by AI is shitty in quality

"Too normalized" is a weird way to describe a thing (having kids) that people do much, much less nowadays than at any point in the past, and also a thing that people must either do or wind up dying alone and decrepit in a ditch.

"And also a thing people must either do or wind up dying alone and decrepit in a ditch."

Hm. Hmmmmmm.

Almost like you're proving my point. How insane is that.

I hate photos of weight loss where people are holding their breath, sucking in their stomachs and posing like contortionists to make themselves look like they've lost considerably more than they have or that their whole body has been re-comped.

Everyone else is praising the "results" and "miraculous change" while I'm sat there like "please breathe and unclench before you get a cramp."
