Toxic Fandom: When Criticism and Entitlement Go Too Far – GeekDad

From the text:

Discussions shifted from “I don’t like this” to “no one should like this.” An account from a user on the anonymous fandom meta site fail_fandomanon described the process: “Antis became a social group, a hatedom. And once impressing their fellow clique of antis became more important than being accepted by the fandom at large, it metastasized into harassing shippers to impress their little bully clique. It became about the social aspect of being accepted by the ‘cool kids,’ i.e., the other antis–and like fandom drama groups in the past, often motivated early on by the fear that they might come after you if you weren’t on their side.”

Simply saying “other fans shouldn’t create fan content for the thing I don’t like” isn’t a compelling argument, so antis began adopting the language of the social justice movement that is active on Tumblr. Antis generally argue that the fictional pairing they dislike is morally “problematic,” that it promotes some broadly objectionable thing like pedophilia, abuse, or incest, and that content for that pairing should not be allowed on the internet.

To be clear, critiquing media for its larger social impact is fine and healthy. However, in these cases, antis would disingenuously put forth these claims to provide a basis for their hatred. For example, in the video game Overwatch, antis claim pairing Gabriel Reyes with McCree (known as McReyes) promotes pedophilia. (It doesn’t. McCree, the younger character, is 37.) They also claim pairing Rey and Kylo Ren from Star Wars supports incest, because there’s a chance they could be related (they’re not). Pairing Hank and his android partner Connor together from the video game Detroit: Become Human also supports incest by their logic (Connor is an android assigned to Hank, a human, to be his partner on the police force).

This kind of performative outrage enables anti-shippers to harass others by providing a moral shield for their attacks. Antis justify sending death threats to fellow fans and creators because they claim people who support “bad” ships promote those broadly objectionable things. Therefore, antis claim they are simply trying to protect their community from creating, engaging, and spreading inappropriate content (regardless if the content is actually inappropriate).

Toxic Fandom: When Criticism and Entitlement Go Too Far – GeekDad

You know what I’d really like to do? I’d really like to do a multiship love blog. I’m not sure if the SW fandom is familiar with the concept of “love weeks” but I think doing something like that would be a really great way to connect people through their mutual love of different ships. 

If you’re not familiar with it, “love weeks” go like this: 
1) One week a year is announced for a specific ship. People who want to participate reblog the post and send an ask to the love week blog. Then they’re matched with another blog that signed up. 
2) A list of prompts for specific days are posted on the blog. 
3) The love week is 100% anonymous. After you’re matched you go on anon and introduce yourself to your matched blog. You ask for things they’re interested in and if they have any squicks or triggers. The week of, you leave short fic, a piece of art, or headcanons in line with the themes of the day and what your blog said they’d like. 
4) At the end of the week, you can reveal your identity, if you want. You don’t have to. 

I know the fandom really likes appreciation weeks and fic weeks, which is great, but I feel like love weeks would be a great way to connect people who ship different things. It could even be extended to individual characters, too. 

IDK, it’s just something I think would be neat.
