For the record, yes the & #39;news& #39; on r/sterteeth & f/nhaus is what fueled me wanting to delete my old tweets (2017 and older), but I& #39;ve been thinking about doing so ever since & #39;cause actively being a fan of theirs just. was a really bad time for me-
Thankfully I& #39;ve never experienced anything to the degree that& #39;s being spoken about right now; which is WAY more important (!!), but tldr: being a member of the r/t and f/h fandom was one of the most stressful, depressing and worst times of my life-
and for the past few years all I& #39;ve wanted was to just move on, really... but my experiences with being a fan of theirs/being part of that community is why I& #39;ve been so private on here and why I don& #39;t engage much with fans/fandoms anymore-
It& #39;s a long story but I& #39;ve felt extremely pressured day in day out to keep & #39;performing& #39; for my public status as a popular fanartist and any time I mentioned how I felt and wondering if there was any way to change that,-
I got jumped by the community for being critical of their precious Perfect Community Where Everyone Should Just Be Nice uwu. It& #39;s the same old story you hear about every big fandom space, but since I was younger and less experienced it affected me a lot-
I didn& #39;t do art I enjoyed, I only did art I felt like I & #39;had& #39; to, to please the community and the members of r/t and f/h, all I did every day was put SO much energy and effort into giving them attention that I forgot about myself and eventually broke quite badly-
