( No Title )
Legit I think the reason why so many indie fandoms end up so fucking rancid so quickly is because you people are TERRIFIED of consuming anything on your own terms. In trying your hardest to “respect creator boundaries” you VIOLATE them by badgering them about things like ships and NSFW content which they can’t control the existence of, and by constantly asking them loaded questions about what you’re “allowed” to do.
Guess what? You can do literally anything you want. The bottom line is you don’t involve the creator in it. Sure, yes, some creators like to be involved in their fandoms, but that’s them bringing THEMSELVES into it, not the fandom thrusting itself onto them in a desperate plea for validation. Stop asking creators for validation. Stop showing them potentially triggering content to ask how they feel about it. Stop white knighting for them because you’ve taken it upon yourself to assert a boundary on their behalf. S T O P I T .
