Not to be salty on main, but this shit on dumblr is exactly why I was pissed that someone earlier this year was saying they won’t talk to children when they’re acting like fucking little assholes, and that was such a ridiculous ass position to have I just fucking couldn’t wrap my head around it. Like, sorry but no one old enough to use a computer or a phone app to navigate this site is a fucking innocent baby.

Surprisingly, this was well before I’d even set foot into VLD and from a fandom with people who were far old enough to know better, OP included. but I fucking knew the purity policing shit and staying quiet “because they’re kids uwu” would lead us exactly to where the fuck we are now. It’s just like how people excuse racist crap kids say cuz they don’t know any better. Well, gee, dingus, I’m black and it took me one whole time of a Native American classmate telling me not to greet her with “How” during our California mission project to stop doing that shit. Maybe if ya spoke up to the little snots and blocked them, we wouldn’t be here 🙄

For anyone in any fandom who is still “neutral” on this issue….how? I think @zarabithia or one of the other Dreamwidth expats pointed over there that her dash today was dead as a doorknob. And sure enough, nearly 90 percent of my dash has been filled with Purge Discourse and Strikethrough history.

We’re nine days out from the end of VLD, the single largest fandom most defined by this site and it’s barely a blimp on anyone’s radar. Well, except the walnuts who are too busy celebrating the banning of Those Gross Sheithers™ to notice their own posts getting flagged. But then, they never did shut up, even after they’d “Moved On Forever” to other fandoms they’ll continue to ruin after we’ve all moved on. But yeah, the finale is a week out and…comm silence. And my other smaller/older/quieter fandoms are even worse.

If you’re on the sides as the “friends” you follow are getting shadow blocked, purged at random (as I and several accounts were) and overall losing visibility and safe space while racists and TERFs and antis skate along as they always do, you’re part of the damn problem. And just like the “friends” I cut out of my life after the 2016 election , fandom will soon have no use for the “give it a chance” folks either. It didn’t work for LJ, ff.net, Deliciously or any message board I’ve been apart of that’s gone down this road and it won’t work here.

For the muturals who want to ride it out, I want to be wrong for your sakes. I really do. But history has shown me otherwise.

DREAMWIDTH COMMUNITY LISTING

pigeonfancier:

Because searching is hard, I love dreamwidth, and I’m here to encourage things, haha.
Places to find individuals are addme_fandom or add_a_writer, the_great_tumblr_purge.

First of all, this is just communities I pulled up from Dreamwidth’s interest page! (/interests from the main site, but also located through the top at EXPLORE -> INTERESTS). If your fandom doesn’t have a community, or it’s not listed here, it doesn’t mean there isn’t one out there – and if there isn’t, please do make one and feel free to add it onto this post! Make sure to add tags to the “interests” section of the comm’s profile if you do make one: that’s how people find communities.

(One of the big benefits of making a community is that you can decide what content is posted to it, and what is not. They are largely self-moderated by the owner, allowing a lot more control as a result than the tumblr tagging system.)

List of communities is under the cut. Please do add communities to this in reblogs, if you know of  / have made additional ones – some large fandoms like Homestuck do not have central comms as of right now.

Hey, thanks for this! I didn’t know where to even begin on there to find people. It’s been also a full decade since I even used original recipe LJ and I forgot 😂

jujuoh:

jujuoh:

hey~ if you buy me a coffee (or two) or drop something in my tip jar, I’ll draw something for you in thanks!

I know tumblr is fuckin up rn for everyone and probably will continue to do so, but I think my bunny baby has the snuffles again. Rabbits can only breathe through their noses, so that can get pretty serious if not stopped, and from past visits I know the meds and visit can get pricy.

I haven’t made a proper commissions post yet, but if you’d like to help me out definitely message me and I’ll draw you stuff for money

jujuoh:

yeah fine, shadow-ban me, make me almost unfindable in the tumblr search function, u aren’t getting rid of me that easily

If you have been in YGO fandom for a while, you all know who this artist is, and it’s a shame this hellsite is treating them like this. 😦

jujuoh:

@staff @support @staff @support @staff @support

@staff @support @staff @support @staff @support

@staff @support @staff @support @staff @support

WOW I can’t tag them lmao

@staff @support

Huh, I still can, so hopefully they’ll see this bullshit

(are you moving somewhere else, btw? I didn’t follow this blog still just now, but I remember your art being everywhere when I came back to YGO last spring and your stuff is super awesome ❤️ I think you were one of the first artists to draw Atem with his tan in Western fandom which was pretty cool❤️❤️❤️❤️)
