Fandom culture’s gotten so weird in the past couple months. Like, just in 2017 we’ve had:

• a fanartist getting fed cookies with needles in ‘em bc they shipped something that another person didn’t agree with

• someone taking photos of an animation studio’s unreleased work and putting said studio under actual legal fire bc that person threatened to keep sharing them publicly unless that company made a ship canon

• Dream Daddy, a LGBT+-friendly game made by LGBT+ people, being out for barely a week and people are already receiving death threats and others are giving out false info about the game bc some people aren’t into Game Grumps

Seriously, are y’all okay?? Like, I know people are entitled to their opinions about ships and stuff, and sometimes making your voice heard about problems in works of fiction can lead to positive change in some aspects, but like???? honestly??? if you think hating on ships/making your ship canon or w/e is worth someone’s health/safety/job, you really need to rethink your priorities.
