Reposting this as a standalone as per request, because another shipper in the Steven Universe fandom was suicide baited by “anti blogs” and is currently unresponsive on social media.

This is the fourth time that I am aware of in the Steven Universe fandom that these so called “anti-shippers” have done this.

The fourth time.

They are bullying people to suicide over fictional fucking cartoon ships.

They’ll try to wash their hands of it again. It wasn’t them, they’ll say, or they’ll shed crocodile tears over the safety of the missing person.

ALL of you hate blogs contributed to this. ALL of you “antis” are abusers.

ABUSERS.

I don’t give two fucks if weh, you are a survivor. 

YOU HAVE BECOME ABUSERS YOURSELVES, CONGRATULATIONS.

Fucking stop, because reality will come down very quickly on your thick skulls and no, your precious fictional characters will not shield you from the authorities. If you really give a shit, delete your fucking hate blogs and get help before you KILL SOMEONE OVER A GODDAMN CARTOON.

For those following me for my Overwatch art, be warned that these shitheads are already trying this shit in the OW fandom, taking character names for anti-shipping blogs there. Do not let them turn that fandom into a fucking pit too. Please.

“Fiction affects reality”, is what the so-called “anti-shippers” always say. The thing there is, if fiction affects reality in the absolute way they claim–which they typically “source” with studies that have nothing to do with that statement at all–why are there any problems in the world? Does the the children’s programming we watched when we were young not magically solve them all?

No, because people have their own agency. Decisions to harm others are the individual’s responsibility, not a character’s, not a show’s, not a book’s, and sure as hell not a fandom ship’s.  The alarming habit they’ve developed of attacking mostly other minors with accusations of terrible crimes, collecting “receipts” on them, running hateblogs to torment them, does FAR more damage than a work of fiction. The rise in suicide attempts among creatives in certain fandoms is directly the result of this abuse. And make no mistake, what the anti-shippers do is textbook abuse. That some of them are survivors is not a free damn pass, we all have the chance of becoming abusers ourselves. I’m a survivor also, and I haven’t felt so backed in a corner since my abuser was still in my life, as I did coming under fire from them. (For a bisexual headcanon. A bi woman, with a bisexual headcanon? YOU DON’T SAY.)

They only ever briefly show regret when the spotlight is on their abusive behavior, when someone almost kills themselves because of them and their rabid obsession of ships they don’t like. “God, I hope they’re okay” they said, more than once, wringing their pearls, when they did not give a shit about the person they tormented to the limit until the moment that THEY were in trouble for doing so.

And when they are confronted for it, boohoo, suddenly they’re being attacked.

It needs to stop before one of these suicide attempts is successful.

A lot of them advocate self-diagnosis, looking at their Abouts and whatnot. Which is whatever, you know yourself best, your choice. But just like they claim a psychologist isn’t qualified to diagnose them, what makes them think they are qualified to diagnose strangers on the internet?

“Because I don’t like thing” seems to be their answer, and it’s a piss-poor one.

Then there’s the depths of their gross bi/panphobia, and bigotry against other sexualities, for the sake of the precious fictional ships they approve of. I’ve been called straight by these shitheads more times than I can count anymore.
(and then they whine how horrible it is that shippers “generalize” them under the term “anti”. The poor dears.)

All this, over fiction. The only “fiction affects reality” that I see are these people becoming bullies in a fictional ship’s name, and that is still all on them, not the fiction they are crusading for.

You can dislike seeing some things, it’s natural. I’m uncomfortable with any ship involving Overwatch’s Widowmaker, for example, because she has been tortured and warped by the villains to become a remorseless killer, without agency, and her first victim was her husband. You can think something is in poor taste and vocalize it in your personal spaces, I’ve done that plenty. (Yep, still gonna side-eye rape jokes, still not sorry.) But not in the ship tags, and understand no one has to stop because of personal comfort zones. This can be a hard lesson, but try to freaking learn it. What you can do is protect yourself. You can block tags. You can block users. You can not go trawling in tags you dislike ( which I know for a fact these sorry sacks do on a regular basis anyway, because they simply thrive on bullying ). In the case of something that is actually illegal, or at least against Tumblr’s TOS, you can report it to Staff and let them deal with it.

I’m not your parent, I’m not your punching bag, and if you want to cry when the shit you try to fling at me ricochets in your face, best you step off in the first place, maybe?

btw:

I ship it.

I can’t believe this shit needs to keep being said but I guess so long as there are abusive assholes - and yes, that’s what you people are, no matter what other layers you might have, you are abusive fucking assholes - this will need to be repeated, loud and long, from the fucking rooftops.

How much of an obtuse scumbag do you have to be to be ‘glad someone is dead’ over a fucking fictional ship.

-Mod Stan

    Oh, your blog had contact with them all right. Remember this? http://baberoselalonde.tumblr.com/post/132380104411/just-so-you-know

  I love how even then, this person was kind and polite to you editing their post.  Kind enough to ask people not send hate to you.

    I hope all of you are so, so proud of yourselves. You must be, look at you POSTING RECEIPTS ON THE NEXT VICTIM RIGHT HERE: http://stancest-sucks.tumblr.com/post/133774542835/hey-do-you-know-if-someone-ever-made-a
    
    You aren’t sorry. 

    Big grats, by the way. Yeah, you’ll be “remembered for being fucking awesome and beating down the shippers one by one so”, except it’ll be more like remembered as a fucking cyberbully that contributed to someone trying or succeeding in TAKING THEIR OWN LIFE.

  But oh, right. I suppose ‘taking down shipper’ is more important until actual consequences happen.  But next time you’re in bed, alone in your thoughts, I wonder if your own hypocrisy will protect you from the weight of what you’re actually like,  because its really difficult for me to think someone could be so hateful about something so fucking petty and not be self aware.

More Chara stuff

read some interesting points for why people should feel sorry for Chara but idk. I’m still stuck on some details.

Yes they poisoned himself in a horrifying painful way to kill themself, but it was to merge with Asriel. Not only that they had actively poisoned Asgore and laughed it off.

Some theorized that they were going back to kill abusers but Asriel states they wanted to kill EVERYONE.  No matter how you slice it, innocent people were going to be the victims.

You find out about most of this in a true pacifist run so I don’t think Chara is a mirror to Frisk in that regard.

Sorta why I’ve been playing with the idea of Chara’s bad sociopath demonic side is something that’s been around and infects people(RPG heroes/a human during the war maybe?) and Chara was just the latest victim.

Makes sense in a way since Chara goes on to identify themselves as the very feeling the player receives whenever their stats increase, and implore the player erase the world so they can move on to the next.  

idk I think it’d be cool if the main villain was basically a malevolent spirit that takes form as a main character RPG hero. Specially since for undertale if you go that pacifist route, you thwart them completely.
