My FB is a lot like my Tumblr: interests and fandoms all over the place, as I'm sure you've seen on both. I follow a crazy number of tea, flower, Loki (Marvel and myth), and a couple of different political groups (Americans Against the Republican Party and Democratic Socialists are my two big ones). For every ranty political thing I repost, I respost dozens of happy tea, flower, dog/cat, Loki and other MCU-related posts as well as personal things that aren't so Hulk-mood, so I hope it evens out.
I engage with the people I follow and who follow me. Well. The people who follow me that I follow back. There are quite a few people who follow me that I don't follow in return. There is a lot of drama in all fandoms. I just seem to side-step the drama quite a bit. It's pretty easy when you blacklist enough of the trigger terms and topics. Yeah, the purity culture crap is getting REAL old, but I'm lucky that most of the people I follow are vocally against the purity culture and villain police.
Yeah, I keep seeing things about That One Fic that's giving AO3 headaches. That's so sucky of that person who did that. AO3 is the best place for fanfic I've ever been a part of. I love it. And people trying to fuck it up because they don't like incest fic is just bullshit. I figure I'm going to get shit for a fic I'm planning to write - it's a crossover rarepair: Tony Stark/Chris Knight (from Real Genius), and I'm planning on potentially setting it when Chris is 19 and Tony might be 17. I might make it a little older? I might make it where Chris is 18 and Tony is 16. It's not going to be full-sex but at least making out. But yeah, I suspect people will raise a little hell about that because of the ages. But shit. That's what AO3 is set up for.
