love how whenever something inexcusably bad comes out, made by someone even more inexcusably bad…. there’s a thousand posts saying “Let it die. Deprive it of attention and exposure! Do absolutely nothing to spread awareness of it. Don’t even pirate it. Do not write or read fic based on it, no matter how scathingly critical the fic is of all the work’s most terrible aspects and all the creator’s most horrible intentions. Just don’t talk about it at all”

and… in every single one of these cases… if it were not for all these scathingly critical posts spreading awareness…. I would have gotten to remain idyllically unaware that the thing in question ever existed

ok I am not gonna post any more about this phenomenon after this– because I’m aware that posting about it is always gonna be just another layer of hypocrisy–

but.

if you make and reblog multiple posts saying “if you post about (bad thing) I’m blocking you,” don’t be surprised if you get blocked for posting so much about (bad thing)

if your thinkpiece about why something shouldn’t be talked about includes a line like “don’t write any thinkpieces”… then your only possible defense is that your own post was actually a not-thinking piece

if you hate-post about why something shouldn’t be hate-watched, while not even tagging your hate-post about it so that other people who hate it can avoid seeing it, because talking about it in the tags would just get you hated, by someone, no matter what side you took…

Then maybe you’re fixating really hard on a topic that involves too much hate to be healthy.

and that is the last I’m saying about this.

Back to my regular weirdness.
