fuckno-asoiaffandom is a compilation tumblr - all of the worst, most myopic, most reductive, most absurd opinions can be found here and are not the opinions of the tumblr owner*.

*this recent post

This right here is what’s wrong with this fandom.

Seriously, creating an entire Tumblr that’s pretty much centered around snarking on people who don’t like Sansa and/or Cersei?

How fucking high school politics can you get?

Hint: in the real world, millions of people aren’t going to like things that you like. Get. Over. It.

I think it’s fine for people to dislike different things - see my reblog from azorahai a while back - but from the reblogs I’ve seen, that blog doesn’t call out people for not liking things, it calls out opinions that are problematic. 

I don’t think saying “I dislike Cersei because she’s cruel and turns people over to Qyburn for torture” or “I dislike Sansa because I don’t identify with her” is going to get you on that blog. But saying that Cersei wasn’t raped by Robert, or that people who like Sansa are possibly pedophiles(?!) and/or that feminists aren’t allowed to like feminine characters, or that women aren’t allowed to like ASOIAF because we’re incapable of reading and enjoying 5000 pages of complex fantasy - those are opinions that should be called out, because that goes beyond just “having a different opinion,” it veers way into “WHOA WTF NO” territory. 

To me, “what’s wrong with fandom” is more people who actually think that Catelyn is morally worse than Ramsay Bolton, wish rape on female characters, call Dany and Sansa sluts, or hate the fact that there are women in the fandom. “What’s wrong with fandom” is people who put anon hate into inboxes and who accuse people who have valid reasons for disagreeing with them of being unable to read. 

But I think that someone who thinks Gregor Clegane is “sexy” for raping Elia with her infant’s brains on her hands and murdering both her and her child is more “what’s wrong with fandom” than a blog that attempts to call them out for that.
