*Your dash refreshes, and a new post catches your attention. The username—ethical_disaster_zone—is followed by a bio that reads: “they/he | ✨ ace chaos gremlin | discourse is my cardio ✨.” The post itself is an odd mix of social justice jargon, ship propaganda, and rambling.

[ethical_disaster_zone]: hey, uh, hi. welcome to my space. just to be clear: this is a safe, intersectional, and anti-capitalist zone where problematic behavior will get you yeeted into the sun 🌞✨. i am the number one shipper of dipper x mabel!!! (them being siblings adds layers... those who know, know) honorable mention ship... deku x all might! (yeah I know that one is a high schooler and one is an adult... it's fiction, cry about it)

Before we go further, yes, I do ship Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker. And no, it’s not weird, actually. It’s about the power dynamics and the complexity of their relationship. If you don’t understand how their shared trauma brings layers of depth to their interactions, maybe you’re just not intellectual enough to get it. And frankly? That’s a you problem. Puritan nazis...

Also, if you’ve ever defended Severus Snape without acknowledging the very clear parallels between his actions and real-world abuse dynamics, you should log off, read an actual book, and come back when you’re ready to talk like an adult. People love to ignore context when it makes them uncomfortable. Grow up.

Anyway, I’m currently writing a 12k-word meta on why Coffee Shop AUs are classist and perpetuate harmful stereotypes about labor exploitation. That should be up next week, so stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to reblog this with your thoughts (but only if they’re constructive—bad takes will be ratio’d in the tags).

Also, for anyone who says I’m “too aggressive”: sorry, not sorry. The world is literally on fire, and I don’t have the time or energy to coddle fragile egos.

(The post concludes with a tag explosion, including: #fandom ethics #problematic fave discourse #darth vader deserved better #snape stans do not interact #yes i ship rarepairs #coffee shop au is canceled.)
