There’s a popular artist in my fandom that has literally convinced their followers that the only okay and moral ship for (a confirmed adult) character is with their oc. They will block those who ship with literally ANY canon character (despite the majority being also adults) and occasionally makes posts about how if you ship him with anyone else you’re getting blocked. The entire fandom is against shipping him for, in my opinion, very stupid reasons. But now it’s okay to ship with this oc. People are being accused of shipping pedophilia for shipping him (an adult) with some of the other adults. This character is thousands of years old. Doesn’t present as a child whatsoever. They do this because in the og myth he’s based on he’s “often” depicted as a child. Sorry for the rant I just wanted your input on a fandom drama that’s been on my mind.
Anon that’s fucking baffling.
I am dying for context here. What fandom is this?
Is this on twitter? I bet this person is on twitter.
