I’m watching @eliciadonze get one horrible, disgusting and hateful anon message after the other, all claiming to speak for the SPN Family / Fandom (it physically makes me sick to see), and I want to so desperately help her. People are saying we need to “clean up our trash”, and I agree and I would friggin’ LOVE to do that, but what else can we do besides report accounts that are openly being hateful?

All these cowardly shits are hiding behind anon – there’s no way to find them (as far as I’m aware – if there is please let me know). I want to help. I want to do something that shows that the vast majority of the fandom isn’t like that. It’s so goddamn frustrating seeing the same shitheads who send vile, hateful messages to people like Eliza, but also MANY of my friends WITHIN the SPN fandom, use the SPN Family name as if they speak for the majority. And they get away with it because they can hide behind anonymity – it’s beyond aggravating.

What can we do to stop this??? I swear I’m willing to do the work, put in the effort, just point me in the right direction!

Reblog the art.

Every single time you see her getting a piece of hate, go into her archive and find a piece or two and reblog it.  The worse the day is, the more art you grab.

Licia has some of the scariest and most dedicated haters I’ve seen in action, and there is literally no way to tell if the ones that are using the SPN Family name against her are even part of the SPN fandom on tumblr, because the hate she’s getting isn’t just from tumblr users… and no, there’s no way to track down the anons.  Tumblr doesn’t tell you the isp of anons you block.

What we can do is show our support, and the best way to do that is by reblogging the art and sharing it.  Yes, send letter love if you want – and please, for the love of god, let her have the space to rage and be hurt by this when you do so, because fuck this stuff hurts.  But as soon as you see the hate start, go onto her blog, pick a piece, and share her art. 

If you share her art, you increase her exposure, which builds the number of good followers she has, and you increase the chance that she can get a commission.

We can’t fix the world (I wish we could), and there’s no way we can take back the anons words and the fact that it looks like this hate is coming from us.  But sharing her art has the chance to make her actual life easier, financially.

Reblog her art.

This holds for any artist or creator who gets attacked or harassed.

If you’re frozen with indecision, afraid you’ll add to the stress, don’t know what to say, or are sick and tired of seeing hate, reblog the art.

Good attention is armor against bad attention.

Thanks for this – I will go and do that right now because you deserve all the well-paid commissioned work you can possibly take on (and more!) and the world is a better place for having your art in it.
