INCOMING RANT: I’ve been debating on writing this for a few weeks now.
I want to know what happened to this fandom. Why did cancel culture take over? Why can’t people have civil discussions anymore? Why does follow count/ratios matter? Why is there always a problem? Ever since —

the reputation era ended, the fandom has just turned so mean. People are always looking for the next person to cancel. People don’t have conversations anymore. People are just dragged through the mud. People make mistakes and can’t even try to explain themselves without having—

their mentions and DMs flooded with hate messages... I’ll share my example. I tweeted something insensitive. I honestly didn’t see it at the time but as soon as people said it was I understood and deleted the tweet. But here’s the problem: instead of people messaging me —

directly about the tweet, I got dragged and quote tweeted and people I considered friends or respected mutuals were the ones tweeting about me. Why didn’t they just DM me and say “girl that tweet isn’t okay you need to delete it” ?? Why do we have to drag people so maliciously —

in such a public manner? Why can’t we just have a civil conversation and get the facts before trying to ruin someone’s character?... I then deleted the tweet and went on private BUT then I got called out for deleting the tweet and going on private... why would I keep a tweet up—

that was insensitive? Why would I keep my profile public when people I don’t even know are sending me hate messages and saying awful things about me that I’m not? I get what i said was insensitive but people make mistakes... I truly didn’t realize it was until it was too late—

Moving on to skinny ratios: When i joined stan twitter I came here for Taylor and to make friends. What I’ve come to realize is not everyone on here is your friend. I believed in following everyone back for so long but now I literally don’t see any of my friends tweets unless—

I go to their page specifically to see their tweets. I want to be able to just get on my feed and see my friends and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I’m not here for a high follower account, I’m here for friends and most importantly to support T. —

I’m sure their will be people that have something to say about all of this. I just miss the fandom that I was welcomed into with so much love and kindness. Every day there’s some type of drama and twitter just like isn’t fun anymore. I’ve seen so many people say this lately —

it breaks my heart. This was my safe space where I could vent or my happy place to celebrate when something good happened. It’s where I made friends with so many amazing people and I literally just want to go back to that. I know so many people feel the same way as I do. —

I also don’t understand why we have stooped so low that we are so hateful to people for something so silly as album rankings? As long as they aren’t tweeting things that are harmful or hateful to others then why are we being so petty about stuff that doesn’t actually matter? I —

am sick and tired of people not being able to share their feelings about music or their passions out of fear that they are going to get dragged. If people want to make fun tiktoks LET THEM! THEY ARENT HARMING YOU. If you don’t like their content, simply unfollow or mute them. —

It’s really not hard to keep your mouth shut. If you don’t have something nice to say then why say anything at all? People shouldn’t have to be scared to come on stan Twitter. So many people try to do good things and they get attacked for it. There is much cruelty and terrible—

things going on in the world right now that we could all just use some extra positivity and kindness. I just want to see this fandom become a safe place again. No one is better than anyone else. Just be kinder to one another please. You have no idea what a person may be going—

through mentally and in their every day lives. The toxicity of cancel culture and the cyber bullying is so real and it needs to just stop... Please just be kind to one another.

I know I’m not perfect. I know I’ve messed up and have made mistakes—

If I’ve hurt you in anyway, I truly apologize. Please dm me and I’d love to talk it out with you.

I don’t have anything else to say. If you’ve made it this far, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
