antishipping:

hey so uh, a little note to fanpol: you do not own fandom. you do not own the main tags, you do not own the characters, and you can’t just “decide” who is and isn’t welcome here.

you can’t just gatekeep an entire fandom. fandom is — and should — be for everybody. i don’t like antis. i don’t like lots of different types of fans. you won’t see me trying to kick them out of fandom though, because everyone is welcome here.

the block or mute button is always there for you to use of course, if you really don’t want to see somebody anymore. that’s fine. curate your experience. but don’t tell them “actually no, fuck off, you’re not welcome here” because that’s not for you to decide.

content creators can’t control who enters and leaves their fandom. so what makes you think that you, a random fan, can do the same thing?
