Yeah… idk if anyone else remembers that one person on Tik Tok who blocked someone because they asked him to adjust his tags, calling them “over protective” or something like that. I’m happy to have more people on the site, but damn etiquette needs to be learned

I personally think it’s because fan spaces became more mainstream during lockdown and now there’s too many NPC neurotypicals who don’t know what to do in a space curated by neurodivergent people
