I really hate it when I go on Tumblr to stock up my queue and reblog some random shit when all of a sudden I come across massive drama happening in a fandom I've been a part of for a very long time. It reminds me why I don't interact with fandoms anymore, regardless of how dedicated I am
Dude, I'm only here to share my art, fics, and reblog GIFsets and hype other artists. I'm not here for this drama and controversy. I don't want any part of that. The part that really sucks is that I follow certain blogs for the aforementioned content and end up with a load of drama on my dash, and it's tempting to put in my two cents, but I refrain from doing so and in the end I've made the right decision to keep quiet and find something else to do until everything dies down
The thing is, it ultimately doesn't matter which side of the argument I'd be on. I'm still gonna be considered "in the wrong" by the other side and both sides will have a massive screaming match all over my feed. It's why I don't explicitly state which side I'm on unless it's a massive social issue and/or no-brainer. Anything else, I largely keep my mouth shut. Yeah, there's likely to be posts on my blog and things on other sites I frequent that imply where I stand, but I'm not going to let my blog become a drama hub by making it obvious
And when it comes down to it, I know there's going to be people that don't like me for X reason here. If people choose to unfollow/block me cos I "don't agree with their views" or post a lot about something they don't like or some shit, just fucking do it and don't make such a fuss about it. If you absolutely feel the need to tell me why you believe I'm on the wrong side or whatever, be polite. It costs literally nothing to be nice to people, even those you disagree with. It doesn't guarantee a response, especially if anonymous, but at least I'll see it [probably, that ask-eating glitch is pretty much the bane of my existence on Tumblr]. You don't see me going on to others' blogs and flaming up a storm, so don't come to mine and be a dickhole. That shouldn't be so much to ask. Then we go back to what we do best. You live your life your way and I live my life mine
Don't get me wrong, I like being a part of fandoms, I do. Interacting with them, not so much
