Okay. Here is where you are fundamentally misunderstanding me and every other pro-shipper ‘anti anti’ type that is trying to get through to you.
We are on the same side.
There is NOTHING WRONG with criticizing larger media for things like violence against women and racism. The problem is THAT IS NOT WHAT YALL ARE DOING. You are attacking transformative fandom, the ENTIRE POINT of which is to change things about these pieces of media, add to them, or subvert them.
Fandom is full of women and marginalized people. Antis make it their SOLE MISSION to harass and attack folks who are already oppressed by society. THAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE. You see things like shipping (the literary equivalent of mashing Barbies together) or writing vent fic about a traumatizing experience as carrying equal weight to something as widespread and historically impactful as BLACKFACE.
You are turning your ‘criticism’ — a nice, harmless word for ‘harassment and death threats, by the way, because that’s what antis deal in— ON THE WRONG PEOPLE .
