A little louder for those in the back:

PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO WRITE WHATEVER THEY WANT ON THEIR BLOG AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT ACTIVELY HARMING SOMEONE ELSE.

People are allowed to be picky. People are allowed to use graphics that make them happy. People are allowed to write “problematic” characters and “problematic ships”. You are under no obligation to follow or interact.

The ONLY lines are when someone is forced or coerced into uncomfortable situations, and / or things like racism/homophobia/misogyny/antisemitism/etc happen. because those are harmful ACTS that harm REAL PEOPLE. Someone being a villain, someone writing toxic ships, writing something other people view as ‘problematic’, someone formatting their blog as they like or being selective who they follow IS ALLOWED. We curate our safe spaces and content for ourselves.

You are allowed your squicks. You are allowed to say ‘no, that doesn’t vibe well with me’. You don’t have to think something is okay for you personally to let others live their lives. There’s a block button, there’s a tag block feature. Likewise, people may not like what you write or how you format either. As long as you and your writing partners are safe and having fun, not everyone HAS to like your content.

And callouts? Should be reserved ONLY for people who are posing threats of real harm to real people. Calling out someone who wouldn’t write with you or writes something ‘toxic’ is erasure of REAL HARM.
