The Queers Are Always First On The List

[morgandawn]

When antis try to "clean up" fandom, do they realize they're advocating for the corporatization of fandom spaces? Do they realize they're asking for fandom to be monitored and moralized to the same degree as children's cartoons?

Do these antis really think THEY'LL be the ones to decide what gets censored, once they win the purity war? Newsflash: Some faraway cishet white exec will make those decisions from a corporate office somewhere. Why do you want sterilized corporate oversight so badly?

It's a GIFT to have such an untamed queer space. Cries for the purification of fandom will lead to regulation from corporate groups like Apple and their robots—and queerness WILL go out the window with the "bad ships" and nsfw art.

Good to have it spelled out: You want to be a tinpot dictator? Be prepared for competition from a bigger tinpot.
There's something in there about zero-sum games, too.
