Ain't I a fangirl too?

How do I tell people that sometimes if you turn your shipping brain off you can interact with media better

Like I hate to say it but if you can’t engage with any media without descending into full-on fandom-style shipping at the expense of the themes, characterization, non-romantic relationships, and general content of the work. You might need to take a step back from shipping and maybe fandom in general. (Also to the people in the notes of this post who are acting like I said shipping in general is terrible: What this post is saying is that if you interact with all media exclusively through a shipping lens you miss a lot of stuff. I’m not saying don’t ship things, I’m saying use your critical thinking skills.)

“There’s more to media than romantic relationships” should not be a take which causes so much anger, and yet

back again to share yet another incredible article written by stitch that talks about the recent ‘colonizerji’ bullshit that went on in the mdzs fandom and how some people in fandoms in response to fans of color calling out racism LEAN INTO the racism and create EXTREMELY racist works to spite fans of color and remind us that in their minds, we don’t belong here.

give this a read! and also once again just read everything by stitch because SHE DOES NOT MISS.
