Okay, Serious Talk Time, I Understand Why The Dsmp Fandom/philza Tumblr Doesnt Want The CC On This App.

Okay, serious talk time, I understand why the dsmp fandom/philza tumblr doesnt want the CC on this app. Mainly it focuses on the fact that this app is, at its core, an anonymous site used to discuss interests with each other without other people potentially making you become a known person outside of this app. Which is why the fandom rule of “There is stuff only for the fans, not for the CCs” is in place. This is a safe space to discuss fandoms and interests without feeling the crushing knowledge that the CC has seen it. 

However, there is another lesser known fandom rule which people seem to have forgotten as well. This rule is “Don’t say things you wouldn’t say to the CCs face”, which if your posts make you embarrassed not by the fact that the CC is seeing it, but because the content your making would make the CC uncomfortable and your aware of that, then you need to stop making that content. 

I’m not saying you should show your work to them if your embarrassed by your own work! Quiet the opposite actually, as once again we shouldn’t be shoving our work in their face because it can cause harm within the fandom and CCs mental health and wellbeing (see Markiplier and Jacksepticeye, Dan and Phil, etc). I’m simply saying if your CC comes to your post and gets uncomfortable by it and you know they would be uncomfortable with it (I.E. they said they don’t want shipping stuff about them but you post shipping stuff) then you might need to stop doing what your doing. 

And if you’re one of the CCs that has just joined Tumblr, welcome! As you can see this site is very shy and doesn’t enjoy CCs making a big fuss about stuff. Please go read some of the Tumblr etiquette posts made to twitter people migrating to tumblr as it will help you understand what’s going on here.

Once again everyone, please remember that you should only post what you know your comfortable with the CC seeing. They probably wont interact with it, but remember that your still apart of the fandom they have cultivated and as such, have the possibility of being seen. Have a nice day everyone.
