This is such a good post, thank you for writing it! ♥
I'm so upset by how fandom has radicalized and become so eager to censor anything deemed remotely threatening or "uncomfy." I grew up when fandom was "anything goes," and that was so freeing for me, to be able to write about anything and not be attacked for it. Even when I was attacked over my content, it didn't come with the heavy bludgeon of being called a pedophile or abuse apologist or any of the bullshit they're throwing out now. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a young person in fandom these days.
Did I just compare Tumblr SJ to Scientology/ Yeah, I did, sue me YOU'RE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT. Tumblr SJ is a cult and no one can change my mind.
