( No Title )
Okay, I’ve finally read up on the Welcome Home situation, and here are my thoughts since I clogged up your dash asking about it!
@botanicbones provided me with the links to the relevant content, thank you! 🙂
- As someone who works in comp-sci, my first thought is this is the sad reality you live in. If you post pictures of your house, people can find out where you live. Hell, if you post pictures of anything near your home people can. I do not intend to victim blame here, just to stress the importance of internet security. Once information is out there, you can’t take it back.
- This is a crazy invasion of privacy by fans. Stalker behavior. You do not go into someone’s fucking house.
- That being said, I think the creator made a questionable choice by being so open with their emotions on the subject. Instead, I would have told the internet at large that this sort of behavior is not fucking okay. I would have filed a lawsuit, money permitting.
- As for the NSFW situation, I think the creator made a bad call from a good place. Not wanting kids to come across adult content is reasonable, but I don’t think the creators should ever have a major say in any fandom. It erodes the boundaries between creator and fan, which is already seen to be a problem in this case.
- Instead of telling everyone to hold off on posting, they should have just made a tag up on the spot. #welcum home. Thats what I call a job well done.
- While their mental state to NSFW content wasn’t explicitly stated, it was highly implied.
- All in all, this seems like a really naive person that might be new to fandom. I don’t think they made good choices, but I also don’t think they intended to cause bullying. That being said, I won’t willingly join a fandom where the creator doesn’t respect the fans space and vise versa.
