THIS IS IMPORTANT. ALL RPERS – PLEASE READ AND REBLOG

lightisjustice:

So as a alum of the Avatar: The Last Airbender RP fandom, I still follow some blogs and keep up to date with what’s going on.  Recently, this blog showed up:

http://whyatlafandomsucks.tumblr.com/

First off, this sort of blog is disgusting — it encourages hate, and literally it’s only purpose is for people to anonymously call people out, perpetuate hate and undiscussed personal and ooc issues between roleplayers, and bitch talk individuals behind their backs.

However, it’s become a blog revolving around three individual RPers.  People continue to reference posts they make, and finally, after a while of horrible and bullying posts, it escalated to the point that their URLs were blatantly published:

These three RPers are kind people who work very hard to try to unite the ATLA fandom.  They reach out and promote new RPers, and they also are open to crossovers and try their best to encourage people.  There are plenty of examples, but I’ll just show you some to make my point:

Additionally, they have made posts to encourage and help people RP with others, they run blogs to connect roleplayers, they actively promote others and welcome others to the fandom.

They work really really hard to stay positive.  However, like everyone does and is entitled to, they expressed some opinions that others didn’t agree with — they said that they don’t like small text or fancy formatting, and suddenly, they began to receive hate and this blog sprung up.  They’re repeatedly called hypocrites, and it’s uniting the fandom in a really toxic and hateful way — these three are being pushed away from the fandom and people are spreading lies.

All of this literally over something as stupid as not liking something and expressing it on their blog.  They never mentioned specific people, and they didn’t have anyone in mind that they wanted to attack — they don’t discriminate people who do use formatting or small text, and in fact, they love to RP with them.

After that horrid post was published calling them out by URL on that awful blog, they responded in a normal way — they were hurt, as anyone would be when a blog devoted to hating them showed up.  But many people blamed them.  They are victims, and they are being ridiculed for being hurt by such posts.  People blamed them for being hurt instead of blaming this blatant hate blog for existing.

SO THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.

Please report this blog.  Here is the link to the block list — just copy and paste whyatlafandomsucks into that, and then report them.  After you hit ‘ignore’, there will be a little link that says “report for harrassment” underneath the name, and all you have to do is click that.  Hopefully tumblr will delete the blog, and it will be the first step to helping.

And please reblog this to spread the word around.  I know it might not be your fandom, but these are real people going through this, and it is absolutely unacceptable.
