before u interact

i will not accept friend requests from anyone who has racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, imperialist, ableist, and classist ideals or supports others who do.

i will not accept friend requests from people who mainly consume homestuck or attack on titan because of the aforementioned ideas expressed in them. harry potter fans get blocked. (i am aware that media consumption doesn't inherently dictate someone's morals, and i'm more lenient with this than i have been in the past, but refusal to look at how bigoted bias affects a story and plays a role in how we interact with others in fan circles isn't something i can get along with)

before i participate in fandom, i look at the shows i watch and the books i read through a critical lens and i'm not afraid to acknowledge the issues in what i like. i think people should respect others' triggers and whatnot. i'm trying to be more lenient with other people in fandom since a lot of what i read contains heavy topics, but i wanna hold my friends to the same standard i hold myself to, which is to hold authors and fandom participants accountable for hateful conduct.

i don't support ship content of pedophilic, incestuous, or abusive pairings and i don't want to interact with people who do. there is a difference between portrayal and endorsement, and putting these things in 'shippy' context reads as endorsement.

i'm staunchly left-wing and i hold abolitionist views about gender categorization, the prison system, imperial nation-states, and regional borders. i'll make blog posts with resources to learn about the world's current events, especially if they concern human and environmental rights!

i am autistic among other things and that may influence the way i talk and interact with people. i don't need or use tone tags, but i will ask for clarification on some things and am okay being asked to clarify my own words!
