to those reading, i& #39;m being sincere when i say this - you don& #39;t deserve what LF has given you.

you can want better.

your favorite art shouldn& #39;t hurt, not like this.

you don& #39;t have to just take it because it was something you once loved. you don& #39;t have to keep holding on to it.

you can find other things that give you passion, other media that doesn& #39;t actively harm you or speak down to you.

you can find art that doesn& #39;t pander to the worst kinds of people, who enjoy seeing others harmed in media and in real life.

it doesn& #39;t have to be like this.

i get that a lot of us may feel like we& #39;ve invested a lot of time and energy, but at a certain point, all of that becomes a sunk cost, and you end up throwing good money after bad (or good support and engagement when it& #39;s not deserved).

it& #39;s important to know when to walk away.

if you want to continue engaging in parts of fandom, of course that& #39;s fine, but i really do think we collectively need to move away from the notion that, one day, LF will do better.

never say never... but time and time again, they& #39;ve shown us they aren& #39;t going to do better.

they& #39;ve decided (though one way or another...) who their target audience is, and they& #39;re catering to them. that& #39;s not us. it& #39;s not going to be us, not for a long while, not maybe ever.

so long as you go in with eyes wide open (or in most cases, you don& #39;t go in at all). /https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">
