Friends; how long should a celebrity and/or historical figure have been dead for before you *personally* stop feeling uncomfortable with fiction being written about them?
If you’re curious about the context, I was thinking about Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra and trying to decide if I’d feel weird writing about them đ (I think I probably would feel weird đ )
Actually there’s nothing wrong with blocking or reporting people, deleting comments and refusing to respond/engage with hate and baiting on any level whatsoever. They are not owed your time or explanations. They are not owed your energy. You are not immature or incapable for choosing to refuse to engage instead of choosing to argue and expend energy.
Obviously if you’re making uneducated, incorrect or bigoted content then yeah, be prepared for people to call you out and challenge your statements and views, but I’m talking in general.
Hate comment on your fic? That’s cool, baby. Just delete it.
Someone’s trying to bait you into arguing about your stance on something? Whatever. Its all groovy. Block ‘em.
You got a clear visual that someone’s just gonna keep coming back at you? Have a report button. Its free. I’ll give you as many as you need.
You don’t need to facilitate that. You don’t need to see it. You don’t need to spend your time trying to challenge someone who’s obviously either in a bad mentality or is just a shitty person as a whole. You simply Do Not. You don’t need to allow that person to have a space and a voice within yours. You don’t need to allow them to be able to spew their bullshit for you and everyone else to see outside of their own little bubble.
Next time you get a hate comment on AO3? Wham, bam, its gone, ma’am. No thank you. Anon hate mail? Not in this household.
You have no obligation to facilitate any of it, and anyone who tries to force you into thinking otherwise is simply incorrect. Their action does not inherently demand your reaction. Plus, its objectively more hilarious to know that the sole outcome of their spitefulness and negativity is them getting even angrier because you’re refusing to engage and refusing to feed their need for a response.
I fucking love deleting anon hate and never thinking about it again.
We do that a lot more than you would guess.
The doves are dead and I am tired
I have no idea.
As an anime fan, looking at Omori art it certainly looks like a game made by someone who enjoys shotacon.
It strikes me as being like hating the Black Butler creator, or the artist for Twisted Wonderland.
RPG maker creators get shit for making âproblematicâ content because they are largely Japanese creators who donât give a shit about western puritan bullshit.
But they make good games with strong and interesting themes, because theyâre indie devs who arenât taking feedback from assholes about how they should make their game.
So their games get popular in the west.
And then puritan asshole feelings yakuza lose their minds when they find out their favorite Japanese creator doesnât give a shit what they think is âimmoral art.â
And then those western puritans go on racist, xenophobic rants about how Japanese people need to be âre-educatedâ to make them âmore moral.â
Itâs happened lots of times before.
The specific incident you might be thinking of is probably Mogeko Castle. Or maybe Mad Father. Both of which are excellent.
