A guide to a successful, drama free fanclub in a simple guide
1) RESPECT EVERYONE REGARDLESSS OF RACE, GENDER IDENTITY, SEX, SEXUALITY ou RELIGION
This one should be a given, it doesn't matter who toi are ou what toi believe, respect other people, even if they contradict your beliefs
2) TRAUMA TRIGGERS
Trigger Warnings (or TW) is a phrase I picked up on tumblr, essentially it's so people can avoid posts using tumblr savior (which blocks posts if they contain a certain word) that they find traumatic. Now, keeping this in mind, toi CAN DRAW/WRITE/DO WHAT toi WANT, if toi want to post it, post it as a link listing all the possible triggers, as for posting them in articles and forum posts, liste the triggers at the haut, retour au début of the article and for questions, votes and videos, put it in the title. Now, toi shouldn't abuse these triggers, they aren't for something toi simply dislike, they are for something that UPSETS toi TO THE POINT OF EXTREME DISTRESS, these are things like phobias, rape, blood, gore, suicide, ect.
3) IT IS OKAY TO BE UPSET par SOMETHING
Believe it ou not, it is okay to take offence to something! ou not agree with something ou whatever, but, don't be a dick about it. Politely mention that toi are offended par what someone has said, allow the other person to apologise and déplacer on, do not cause an argument. However, do not take it upon yourself to try and remove the thing posté that causes offence, that is up to the original author, they may just make amendments, toi never know.
4) APOLOGISING IS A THING PEOPLE NEED TO DO
Apologies can go a long way! So, if toi have, intentionally ou not, offended someone, apologise to them! Don't cause a scene, even if toi feel they are wrongly offended.
Extra note: Do not feel toi need to take something down, however. There's a difference between offence and dislike, toi make the final judgement. Again, toi can draw/write/do what toi want.
5) THINGS toi PROBABLY SHOULDN'T JOKE ABOUT
Also a liste for those of toi who don't quite know what's acceptable and what isn't
A. Rape
B. Suicide
C. Racial Stereotypes
D. Gender Stereotypes
E. Murder
F. Mental illness
G. Any illness really
Extra note: Using slurs like nigger, retard ou fag as an insult isn't a good idea either.
6) DON'T TAG YOUR HATE
Tagging one's hate refers to écriture ou drawing something displaying a dislike for something and then posting it somewhere all about the thing toi dislike. The only thing you'll succeed in doing is making people upset. So just don't.
7) THIS SITE IS NOT MEANT TO BE 100% CHILD FRIENDLY
Whilst these are actually general tips for people of all ages, this site is not for children under 13. I suppose this falls under "People can do what they want". If toi are under 13 then I really don't think toi have a right to be shocked, really.
The website warned toi already when toi first joined, it's like clicking on a link after you've been warned of the trigger, really.
------------------------------------------------------
So yes, after spending a an travelling around the internet, I have brought toi wisdom from a much happier website called tumblr! :D
Of course, this is a guide
Meaning toi don't have to listen to it but it might help you.
