Fourth Post!

[hoisinsauce]

btw feel free to suggest/nominate post titles

Post about fandom! Or whatever! Whether it's a rave about some obscure series, or an essay dissecting every last reason why some internet-famous author should rethink their career, someone will probably read it at some point! We also just chat about life.

This is it, it's not that I think they're doing something morally wrong, it's more like I'm surprised they don't have more self-respect. Which I realise sounds haughty AF. :P But like if someone's all "punch a terf today!!" then I don't want their name on my dash and I'm not gonna boost their fic; it's like doing a favour for someone while they call you names; fine, no favours for you! I think it can also give others the impression you agree but that's not worth caring about because yeah, purity spirals.

I mean I know my own preference is pretty far over, in that if someone even posts that pastel flag, I'm likely to avoid them, but if someone's actively talking shit about you I really don't get wanting to help them with anything.

Not too far off mine. I'm enough of a curmudgeon now I don't really have patience for genderwoo stuff in writing, let alone amplifying these authors.

Oh I agree with you, nona! My thoughts were more a recognition that in practice, my advocating not bothering with people who are going to be shit about you will, when writ large, look like just another fandom purity spiral.

But I don't think that's enough to convince me to give them the ammo—life's too short, CBA.
