fwiw the "beyhive" also chased Rachel Ray off of Twitter and harassed her for a good while bc someone confused her with a model that may or may not have been the one Beyonce wrote a song about
Can't ever be as bad as Steven Universe fandom though.
OR CAN IT
nah but seriously fandom and fans are kind of scary if not harassing ppl it's like, the Cassie Claire kind of cult worship or House Wars or shipping wars goin on
Generally, I try to pushback against the idea of "social justice warriors" and defend tumblr activism, but there are times when I've had Lindsey Graham-level moments of, "This fandom is batshit crazy." This is one of those times. D:
I will never, ever defend social justice activism on Tumblr. I have more of a personal problem with GamerGaters, but both of them harbor predatory individuals and I've seen the worst of both.
I'll never forget how a non-binary friend of mine got banned from a LiveJournal community for "homophobia" just because they spoke up against dogpiling on one poor sap just for using the wrong words to describe something.
