Challenge #3

In your own space, Scream Into the Void. Get it all out.



The fucking Anti-shippers.

Klantis ruined the Voltron fandom for me for years. Even now, I stick mostly to Sheith fandom and vet every Klance shipper carefully - even though I actually ship it myself! But there's just so many of them! Everywhere!

I found a rec post for Twitter artists on Tumblr - all but one were Antis, openly, stated it right in their Bios!

Just yesterday I joined a Discord server, only to find it's run by the purity police. The source material is exactly the kind of 18+ problematic shit antis hate, what are they doing running a fan discord?!

SO infuriating. Fuck these people.

I honestly do not understand people like this?? If the source material has "bad content" then how can you love it? It reminds me of a certain part of the Captive Prince fandom policing content when the canon is a bag full of triggers.

And I'm also very >.> at anyone who openly declares themselves an anti. But I guess it does work to make sure we stay away from them!

It's mind-boggling, right? The source is 18+, but the fandom must be suitable for preschool children.
Even the dumbest anti must notice the discrepancy - so to me, this proves that anti behaviour is all posturing for Internet Morality Points. They don't even believe their own BS.

I've heard of Captive Prince. Seems like that fandom has some especially bad antis.

I really cannot wrap my head around it at all.

Captive Prince was a really chill fandom for a while and then got tense for a little bit when the concept of a purity police became a thing? And antis started with their entire "but the kids!" nonsense. But since it's been some years since the trilogy ended, it's back to being chill again since there isn't a big audience for antis to signal to and show moral superiority.

[autodach]

They probably moved on to a juicy ongoing target.
Why only yell at fans when you can also bully the original creators on twitter?

But it's good to hear things have improved in the CP fandom

I saw a Tumblr post satirizing the idea of a "sex and murder" zine that didn't allow sex and/or murder content because that's just gross uwu and the notes identified multiple different real zines as the basis of the joke including stuff for IWTV, Hannibal and other seemingly not anti-friendly fandoms.

I remember the backlash against Killing Stalking for featuring… who would have thought, killing and stalking.
Impossible to parody these clowns.

[wearing_tearing]
