I saw a video on tiktok the other day, and it was someone like “wouldn’t shipping childe with any of the fatui be considered a proship? I’m not sure.” And idk it made me sad. Antis force people to walk on eggshells when it comes to fiction and it’s disheartening to watch. Why would you need to ask that? Out of fear someone will berate you? Just ship him with anyone you want, it shouldn’t be deep. For any character. People can’t be happy when there’s anti ideology everywhere.
It’s bullshit.
It denies the fact that people’s attitudes and opinions about things in fandom don’t just stay in fandom.
They want to say “fiction affects reality”.
How about “online affects reality”.
Online isn’t a magic nowhere space that’s separate from real life.
It’s like saying opinion pieces in newspapers and magazines don’t affect reality.
The people who say fandom opinions don’t influence things outside of fandom are ninnies who want to excuse their own shitty behavior.
Either you believe art and fiction should be censored, or you don’t.
You can’t put the censorship genie back in the bottle once you let it out.
