A guide to a successful, drama free fanclub in a simple guide
1) RESPECT EVERYONE REGARDLESSS OF RACE, GENDER IDENTITY, SEX, SEXUALITY au RELIGION
This one should be a given, it doesn't matter who wewe are au what wewe 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, wewe CAN DRAW/WRITE/DO WHAT wewe WANT, if wewe want to post it, post it as a link listing all the possible triggers, as for posting them in makala and foramu posts, orodha the triggers at the juu of the makala and for questions, kura za maoni and videos, put it in the title. Now, wewe shouldn't abuse these triggers, they aren't for something wewe simply dislike, they are for something that UPSETS wewe TO THE POINT OF EXTREME DISTRESS, these are things like phobias, rape, blood, gore, suicide, ect.
3) IT IS OKAY TO BE UPSET kwa SOMETHING
Believe it au not, it is okay to take offence to something! au not agree with something au whatever, but, don't be a dick about it. Politely mention that wewe are offended kwa what someone has said, allow the other person to apologise and songesha on, do not cause an argument. However, do not take it upon yourself to try and remove the thing ilitumwa that causes offence, that is up to the original author, they may just make amendments, wewe never know.
4) APOLOGISING IS A THING PEOPLE NEED TO DO
Apologies can go a long way! So, if wewe have, intentionally au not, offended someone, apologise to them! Don't cause a scene, even if wewe feel they are wrongly offended.
Extra note: Do not feel wewe need to take something down, however. There's a difference between offence and dislike, wewe make the final judgement. Again, wewe can draw/write/do what wewe want.
5) THINGS wewe PROBABLY SHOULDN'T JOKE ABOUT
Also a orodha for those of wewe 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 au fag as an insult isn't a good idea either.
6) DON'T TAG YOUR HATE
Tagging one's hate refers to uandishi au drawing something displaying a dislike for something and then posting it somewhere all about the thing wewe 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 wewe are under 13 then I really don't think wewe have a right to be shocked, really.
The website warned wewe already when wewe first joined, it's like clicking on a link after you've been warned of the trigger, really.
------------------------------------------------------
So yes, after spending a mwaka travelling around the internet, I have brought wewe wisdom from a much happier website called tumblr! :D
Of course, this is a guide
Meaning wewe don't have to listen to it but it might help you.
