You cannot produce fiction, art, or any kind of media and make it public unless you are prepared for it to gain a fandom, and unless you are prepared for what it having a fandom will mean.

When you make your creations public, you are opening them up to public reaction.

You cannot control the reaction your audience has to your art.

When you share your work with the world you have to be ready to lose the completeness of your ownership of it.

People will always create fandoms for media they enjoy.

That means if you are a creator and you share your creations publicly on a wide scale you need to be prepared for:

• critical reactions,
• harsh and negative reviews,
• fanfiction,
• fanart,
• horny fanfiction,
• horny fanart,
• and for people to wildly misunderstand your intentions with your work.

fair enough but clowns feeling like ass and I think we can stop being openly horny about the puppets

Clown is free to stop being a public media creator if they don’t want to have a fandom. 🤷‍♀️

I’m a fellow creator, and I’m sympathetic to having your creation get bigger than you intended but when you make work public you have given it to the public to react to.

again, Fair enough but as part of the public I think people should stop being actively horny about welcome home bc it’s having really bad effects on clowns mental health

If transformative works that Clown is seeing are impacting Clown’s mental health then they should block and filter those works.

Their work is public. They don’t get to demand how other people react to it. They can maintain their boundaries by not associating with those people and works.

If it were not NSFW art and fic that was apparently having a negative effect on Clown, but rather any and all fic and art, would you feel the same way?

It is unreasonable to demand that a fandom cater to what makes the creator comfortable or uncomfortable.

I was under the impression that the thing having an effect on Clown’s mental health was the people trying to doxx him and posting pictures of his house.

As was I.

And yet fancops are making it about naughty fanart. Hmm, I wonder why?

No.

You don’t get to draw boundaries like that when you create a work of fiction and release it into the world.

Creators have the right not to look at or participate in fan work.

They do not have the right to dictate what fanwork gets to be created.

When you put out a work of fiction and art you do not get to control the reaction that your audience has to it.

That includes the horny reaction.

Rule 34, if it exists, there is porn of it.

When you side with creators who try to police their fandoms you are siding with Anne Rice, Anne McCaffrey, and Disney against fandom.

shaking my head for real.

Speaking as a creator, when you release your creation to the public you lose control of it.

You can’t control people’s reaction to your creation. You can’t control how people see it or what transformative work they create from it.

It’s totally okay to want to avoid reactions and transformative works that make you uncomfortable.

It’s completely impossible and unreasonable to try to control those reactions and works.
