We’ve said “if it’s fictional, it’s fine” for about….oh goodness, more than six months now! And we’ve gone over why being called out isn’t really effective: if you’re not ready to hear it or the criticism isn’t worded well, you’ll be openly hostile to it. And even if you respond perfectly, the person calling you out will most likely store screencaps and continue to use it as ammo for months after.

There’s plenty of websites that are unmoderated and therefore allow for that, but we don’t really want to be like that.

“Don’t like, don’t look” used to be the overall mantra for fandom, and that only changed in the past few years. We like older fandom and want to bring a space back that’s like that! If you’re not looking for that, then there’s lots of sites that don’t emulate that.
