Why The Hate? - Tumblr Posts

this

what’s going on in the SKAM fandom? why are people being so harsh and negative and just down right disrespectful?? within the span of literally months, so many fic writers have voiced their concerns about the hate comments and negativity, and a lot of them have stopped writing or dropped their fics. i’m actually so upset and disappointed right now. i’ve been in and out of several fandoms throughout the years and this is the first time i’ve felt unsafe and scared, not only for myself, but other people in it. 

as a writer my self, there’s nothing more discouraging and sad than people leaving negative comments, threats, harassment, etc. PLEASE STOP. i don’t know how many times this needs to be repeated - it’s so much easier to stop reading something because you don’t like it than taking the energy to type out something hateful. 

behind an ao3 account is a person - who has to deal with their own lives and personal matters. they have taken the time out of their schedule, no matter how busy it is, to craft beautiful stories to keep the fandom going. y’all are always complaining the SKAM fandom dwindling and dying out, but writers are some of those people alongside many other types of creators that’s holding up this wonderful world we fell in love with. so please. stop hurting those who are making so many readers happy with their words.
