This whole journal in part pertains to something else that was going on and how a lot of people were reacting to it.
But it's the whole bit that people were going on about is how they thought the fandom accepted everyone and didn't judge others by their kinks or whatever else. Yeah I've never seen that and never believed that. No matter what group you think you're part of there is always going to be issues. No matter how much you think you fit in. And for the people that believe in the 100 percent acceptance crap then you're a bit delusional. Personally I've typically been very judgemental of people and things that I see. It's just really funny seeing how some people react to some situations. Especially when it comes to someone popular and they have those blinders on because, "I like so and so's art and I don't care what they do because I like what they draw." I just tend to keep my mouth shut a lot of times, because people have a tendency to not want to hear an opinion other than what they may believe and you're even less likely to make them listen to an opinion other than their own. Though all of this also goes hand in hand in how people think this family is just one big family. The main time I see that crap up is typically when something is done to help out a popular person or someone that has connections to them. Any other time you're pretty much out of luck. People, at least those I've come across, have a strong tendency to not get involved and help someone unless they're pretty much pressured into it. And even then they seem to do as little as they can just to get that person to shut up. Hell I came across someone that was trying to say that the fandom saved their life. After watching the video I commented on how my experiences were about the opposite. Pretty much got the response of, "just fuck off then." Which is still just interesting. I'd figure I'd get some kind of conversation out of someone like that for one reason or another. But then when you just get shut down it pretty much just looks like either their story was a lie or they're just as bad as all those other people they dealt with through their life. Granted though I have a hard time either way reaching out to people anymore for one reason or another. Mostly because I feel bad or like I'm being a bother. In part because I've had people in the past reaching out constantly, but in the end they told me it was mostly for attention. So I mostly don't want to get anything back like that from anyone else, but not like it would matter anyways. ^^;
Anyways, back to the original purpose of this journal. Just because you belong to this fandom it doesn't make you special or anything. Just because you are interested in a kink or something like that it doesn't mean you can't be judged by someone. The quicker you lean that the quicker you can get your head out of your ass.

Very true, sadly. Though I have not experienced those who outright shut one out so that they don't hear what they don't want to hear, I can say I have seen it, at least.

Personally I've kind of experienced a little bit of everything being in the fandom as long as I have already. Hell thinking back on it now I think I pretty much set myself up for failure from the beginning. Was always that person that told others to come to them if they had issues and needed to talk. In the end I made connections with people that only cared about themselves and when I had something going on I was thrown to the wayside. In the end it made me very untrusting and bitter.

I know how you feel. I constantly encourage people to thing positively, but deep down, I know... After 10+ years in the fandom, it can be a major toxic environment. So: I tend to keep myself somewhat distant from it all and just concentrate on the positive aspects!

Yeah, my problem though is I typically can't see the positive anymore. I know a good part of it is me and how I tend to be anymore, but there's a lot of times where I see something going on and I can't help but think there's an ulterior motive or something like that.
