what a misleading title

hell nah I'm not dead
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
surprise???

but nah I'm not leaving wattpad, despite what the title implies.

I'm just leaving the Aphmau fandom.

"Fluffy!! How could you!! I trusted you!!"

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I've been beating myself up over it too

The truth is, I've had some really negative experiences in the fandom recently. A few angry tweens can really make you think.

Especially when those tweens tell you f***ots aren't allowed in the Aphmau community.

The homophobia in this fandom has reached an all time high, and honestly? I don't want to associate myself with it. I know everyone here is gay, or ridiculously supportive, but I can't always rely on wattpad fam to back me up.

Not to mention the absolute racism towards black! Lucinda, Travis, and KC. Like, holy hell.

In the past month alone, I've gotten eleven replies to comments I've made on various social media. 9 of them were about how f***ots aren't allowed, garrance will never happen, etc, and the other two have been incredibly rude messages about 'canon' skin tones, and how Aph wouldn't include any n****** in her series.
(Yeah, I know, Teony is apparently forgotten)

I know I shouldn't let YouTube, tumblr, and Pinterest comments distance me from Aph, from Jess, but please understand, it's not the comments, it's the fandom.

From now on, I'll be writing about things that make me happy. This includes Voltron (talk about jumping from one toxic fandom to the next), Skyrim, Critical Role, and other fandoms.
If anyone wants to take over Gay for Justice, pm me and we'll talk about it.

I'll also be doing a name change from Fluffy Papaya to Strange_Dreamer (or some variation of that) but feel free to still call me Fluffy

I'll keep reading my friend's fanfics. But as of now, no longer consider me an Aphmau writer.

As always, keep dreaming

-Fluffy
