Does meme wankers’ insistence that of course the real thing is bad but all of our instincts, experiences, and boundaries about the real thing are wrong count as gaslighting? Because this feels like gaslighting.

I don't even understand what you're saying.

I also want any actual rapists in fandom, but I want all the noncon fic to stay. That's exactly the same principle for me.

If you see red flags and don’t want to mess with her, that is really easy for you to do. You don’t share fandoms, you let the mod know not to let her match to you in case she offers yours, and you are golden. Not a single person is saying for you not to engage with them if you think they are a full on white supremacist with Nazi ideology.

That doesn’t mean you get to make that decision for other people who see it as a normal small fandom behavior for someone trying to make their fandom happen when it never will. They are free to not care a wink and ignore them once they decide the fandom is/isn’t for them.

Dog whistling so much that people see anti red flags from you while you insist that you are the one person who does all this anti behavior yet isn’t a big wanky mess is gaslighting too, by that standard.
