Can All Ex-antis Get A Hell Yeah? It's Hard To Get Out Of That Space With All Of The Abuse And "good

Can all ex-antis get a hell yeah? it's hard to get out of that space with all of the abuse and "good vs bad" mindset

Ex-antis can get every single hell yeah. And every single praise for getting themselves out of that kind of destructive environment. You're right in that it can be so incredibly hard to get yourself out of such spaces; cult-like communities with abusive culture like that.

Ex-antis are always welcome on this blog and in the proship side of things. I will never shame someone for having the courage to change and grow and learn.

And for any current antis wondering; no. Getting out of that toxic space does not require you to actively be invested in, create or consume any content you are not comfortable with. It never will require that. That is not what being proship or profiction is about.

I’m tired of people making awareness posts about big names like the voice actor Tara Strong and include her internet posts over fictional characters along with some more concerning stuff, such as her support for PETA, Autism speaks or Israel

Making weird posts about fictional cousins kissing in 2014 is not important. Being a troll over the characters she voiced is not important. Stuff like this doesn’t automatically make her a bad person.

but the rest of the stuff mentioned however is important, and her support for all of them makes her a bad person. Just focus on that if you want to make awareness posts

Unfortunately most people will scramble to collect any minute piece of "evidence" they can against someone in order to try and solidify their claims and force people to agree with their campaign. Often this will include anything from their taste in music to the books they read/write.

Modern internet culture is placing far too much weight on what people like as a determining factor in what kind of person they are or defining them as a person.

The best thing to do in situations like that is counter the information. Force people to address the actual points within the posts, rather than the unnecessary information. Force the conversation the stay on certain subjects and allow those to overshadow what is irrelevant.

I LOVE your reaction images and gifs like seriously- I laugh every single fucking time I see images anywhere on your blog

Keep doing good work I love your shit

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

As an ex-anti I feel a little bad because I only stopped being one when it was my ship they started targeting. I wonder if I ever would have changed if I never happened to ship a "bad ship" one time or if I'd still be spouting the same nonsense today. :-/

This is actually one of the most common ways people stop being an anti. When you're forced onto the other side of the argument, it often brutally enlightens you to faults in your own arguments and perspective.

You never truly understand what someone else is thinking until you're forced to think in the same way, or to recognise how and why they think the way they do.

Unfortunately, sometimes antis will experience that and only double down on their own argument, declaring themselves the exception or inventing increasingly varied reasons for why things don't apply to them.
