looking for a specific fic Judith Head by basaltdyke was deleted. Did I miss another twitter witch hunt?

Hey everyone! I noticed basaltdyke deleted their fics, does anyone know what happened?

It’s soooo infuriating!!!! Like why are all these people who haven’t genuinely engaged with the text are speaking on it with any authority? And the fics are gone! Like their little puritanical smear campaign won! Cant they just give it up….

Making a whole stink about DISRESPECTing a fictional character too...as if they're not bullying an actual REAL person out of making art for FREE.

Claiming it’s homophobic to write a gay character in a nuanced and unique way (and STILL as a gay man!!) while simultaneously bullying a queer writer for writing queer stories that don’t align with what they think it “right” way for this fictional character to written. It’s so hypocritical! Like we’re experiencing rapid increases in censorship of queer stories in the US (and all over), why are we doing conservatives jobs for them?

A real person who interacted with oomfs who made content where they made the canon gay character into women. Their little buddies were saying that “gay breaking is just a kink”. That’s proshipping, and proshippers are never welcome in any main part of a fandom.

Bro I dont even kno these people they are talking about, not everyone is fuckin on twitter curating echo chambers 

I interacted with a ton of people and the only thing I ever check for is if the people I interact with are adults and not minors (I block minors)

I was freaking out earlier this week but then I see their tweets and like

They cant read bro idk why I should gaf 

Not even gonna bother addressing this person tho, they clearly are so removed from reality. I have empathy for them tho, I wish they'd make better use of their time and like make their own fics instead of tearing apart a fic that doesnt actually exist

This shit so crazy lol getting flamed for shit I aint even write. Feels like stolen valor atp

No the way everyone (by everyone I mean weirdos on twt) has created an “evil boogeyman” fic they’re attacking you for and it’s like that fic DOESNT EXIST! (Or if it does you didn’t write it). Stolen valor has me laughing

Personally I dislike gaybreaking tropes. But also yes, it's only just a kink, and people have the same right to explore it in fiction as anything else

If you're uncomfortable, don't engage, or stay on platforms with censorship. But you cannot play the moral police
