Yup! I like the mix of things you post! My issue isn't with ranty political things, or people pushing for better, so much as the sneering ultra-leftist "see, this is why anyone who votes is STUPID, and if you DID vote, then you literally deserve to die because you didn't somehow overturn the whole entire political system neither did we, but at least we can be smug about not voting, sheeple."
And yes, I'm mostly pretty happy with my small bubble of curated tumblrs and fb friends. I interact... very little, beyond liking/reacting/reblogging, but I'm trying to at least comment here and there. I try my best to sidestep the drama, but some of my friends have gotten pulled into it for having "problematic" ships or shows or whatever. (And unfortunately, my favorite 'ship is kind of split between similarly chill ship-and-let-ship types and vicious hatred for a once-fandom-fave-now-deemed-problematic ship.)
It is extremely shitty how that one person has acted. I really do love ao3, and while I know that the issues will be dealt with, it's frustrating that people are giving this shitty person's behavior the "credit" for potential archive tools and policies that have been in the works for a long while. And the anti-ao3 attacks because they allow "bad" content will forever make me angry. Enjoy writing that fic! I hope you don't get too much shit for it. The amount of ridiculous contorting that antis will do to deem a ship or a fic problematic is truly something to behold.
