I hope its alright to ramble about fandom happenings here… I just wanted to share some sad but hilarious anti nonsense I’ve been witnessing, and maybe ask for some advice… This yandere writing blog started in the fanbase after the OP had posted some stuff on their blog. (To which multiple people loved and reblogged) And soon after making the yandere blog people (Full grown adults mind you! Some were even moderators in the most popular spaces!) Started vaguing them. The kicker is that they were under the notes of the post liking it. And all the blogs asks? Anons. OP sadly went ghost and last they said was they were taking a mental health hiatus. It haunts me partially for how they were destroyed so quickly for something they could’ve just blocked and ignored. This wasn’t like OP was posting it to the main servers or not tagging yandere aspects. The yandere blog itself never even posted in the main tags! (This part mentions NSFW) The second situation was someone on AO3 wrote this really great fic everyone on the NSFW side loved. Then they came out with a noncon fic. Completely tagged, wasn’t promoted, it just existed. And then suddenly I see “Guys I found out who wrote… THAT fic.” And adults in the replies gossiping like teenagers! “I’ll DM you who” “OMG dm me” it made me feel sick. They even mentioned how this person was “proshippers dni”. It made me feel horrible for them. (NSFW mention end) This fanbase is incredibly small, but really tight knit. It horrorifies me one minor slip up on my behalf can undo any progress I had and send tidal waves. (I was already stalked before during a brief period I blocked someone who was mad at me. But Antis don’t seem to care about that and a fictional characters safety is more important?) I really don’t know what to do. I feel paranoid! I love this series deeply, it sparks alot of joy. Ship discourse isn’t even brought up that often but I still feel like I’m on eggshells. To anyone whose had this experience, any recommendations? Advice? Thank you for listening to my woes… sorry for the long ramble. I would sign this off with my pro blog but feel antsy.
