How to deal with toxic fandoms

thestanconfessions:

you know, I’ve had this blog for almost as long as I’ve ben on Tumblr. And I love this website. And this blog applauds stans or fandoms in general. But I know, from personal experience, that some fandoms are really toxic.

And for anyone who feels like they like the artist, the movies, actor or show but feels like their fellow stans are rude and hateful. And most of all, disrespectful towards other opinions…. get the fuck out of that fandom. It is not worth your time and energy.And it’ll bring you down.

I’ve been in a few toxic fandoms myself and there are a few signs that your fandom is toxic. The biggest sign is that your fave or ship (when its a tv fandom) can do no wrong. Refusal of seeing flaws in a person or even a character is not okay. Because people are flawed. And so are characters, seeing as they are built by humans to seem human.

It’s one thing if you’re either as blind as the rest of them or you just don’t go against it, but when you do… well… just don’t. I personally receive anonymous hate on a daily basis on this blog and it’s alright because I’ve gotten used to it. But guess what I can’t stand? When I opinionate myself on a subject matter (that is obviously different) and people send me hate for it. Because then it’s fucking personal.

So people, I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again. GET THE FUCK OUT AND NEVER LOOK BACK

Do you know how painful it is to walk into a bookshop and come out empty handed? 

I know this pain far to well.

I can’t explain how much I want a 21st century Star Trek au where Kirk still lives in Iowa and it’s like “holy shit aliens just literally landed in my cornfield I can’t believe my life became a bad episode of x-files”

ok but. hear me out like…

  • kirk as just this genius 21yr old in Iowa building hi-tech shit in his basement; like radios and shit that manage to pick up sub-space frequencies that he helps code w/ the help of Uhura
  • kirk thinking it’d be a funny prank to make some crop circles in his family’s cornfield
  • kirk making intricate crop circles that read as some rudimentary script of Vulcan
  • spock responding to the images that seem to be an SOS from his father; beams down to earth only to find out some humans managed to accidentally learn the vulcan language
  • “oh so you’re an alien” “indeed” “And…you’re looking for your dad.” “affirmative” “well, you know what this means?” “….” “…roadtrip.”
  • spock learns the meaning of friendship as he roadtrips across america with a pack of humans that kirk picks up along the way in search of his father: mccoy, the doctor they met in georgia that let them sleep in his basement; scotty the auto repair guy they meet in some backwater town; sulu in new york that is much better at driving than kirk is; nobody really knows how chekov ended up with them, but it’s probably illegal
  • these are the voyages of the 1970 Volkswagen bus Enterprise

Omigod somebody write this
