Baffles me why people cannot get a grasp on understanding that we don't want to read hate on things we spent time making. Regardless if it's about the creation itself or of the material it's being made from. When people like movies/shows/ships/characters, they don't want to exist in a fandom space online where people hate on those things. This is common sense! Creators are the backbone of fandom and they are so tired of reading these comments. We make things to share with people who also like the source material because that's what fandom is about at its core.

You would not walk into someone's house uninvited and tell them how much you hate their decor. You would not walk into an art gallery and tell the artist you love the technique "but you should've painted something I like instead".

Not everything is for you, not everything you see is catered to you. It's okay that you are not the target audience, but don't shit on the source material in the tags/comments because you are seriously killing OP's vibe and making them not want to create anymore.

I've seen people say, "before I was gifmaker, I didn't understand why people cared that I was hating on the material and not the work itself." But now when after they've spent hours on a gifset, they open their activity hoping for kind comments, something worth reading, fandom being delightfully introspective or mutually horny over the material and they are met with 4 reblogs and one containing a tag that reads a long negative-based review that someone could've put on their letterboxd instead, and a single comment that says "worst movie I've ever seen". Be honest, would you want to continue posting anything if people throwing tomatoes was a common occurrence in your activity?

If you REALLY need to say something, post a link to the post on your own blog to talk shit. Be a hater in your own space where OP won't be notified of it. That's all we are asking... Begging even!
