deird1: Why Challenge Communities Rock - Challenges stretch us. They make us look for stories we’d never thought of. And they make us keep on going, even when it gets horribly difficult. -
- cruiscin_lan: My rantiness, let me show you it. - PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO BE SCARED OF THINGS, OKAY?//Warning for these things is not catering to someone else’s whims or wishes, it’s just motherfucking courteous. -
- ranalore: Okay, step back - I have had it about up to here with the assumption that anybody who chooses not to warn in their own space, or who puts up a caveat lector, is an irresponsible, lazy, malicious person, and certainly not a survivor of abuse or assault. No, I don’t think artistic integrity should trump mental health, and yes, there’s a lot of fail coming out of the anti-warning side, but in fact I know and have known people whose reasons for not warning and not joining communities that explicitly require warnings (which fandom at large IS NOT) are tied up in their own mental health. -
- hederahelix: Sizeism in Fandom--My Thoughts - Whether we see ourselves as fat, skinny, or somewhere in between, we should strive to write stories, make art, analyze things from a meta perspective, and comment on each others work in ways that do not perpetuate that, or any other prejudice. -
