If you leave Islam as a religion, Leave it as a topic. I do not care for your apostasy story and neither does any other muslim.
Thought you were 9amartt for a sec lmao
Hahaa... Thank you for the pfp ^.*
happy birthday baby GOAT
Hi, i gotta get this out here as soon as i can so here goes
so apparently someone didnt like my art (specifically the recent alecca drawing which as of now ive privated) and went off to some third grade f1 gossip cesspool instagram page and dropped my drawing down there and theyre basically publicly shaming my blog and my art specifically the rpf content
which is why im making this post as a refresher on what rpf actually is - real people fiction - key word FICTION
please for the love of god, understand that with any fandom space comes creation and that it comes in multiple forms of art writing music and so forth, and rpf has been a subculture of this specific f1 fandom for a LONG ASS TIME the most dated first f1 rpf fic goes back to literally mika/michael on ao3 in like 2002
us making this sort of content doesnt MEAN that we actually think of these drivers in this light, because that is the line that NONE of us should cross
how is it any different if one ships a driver with a model or a influencer, than us shipping them with another driver? in both cases it is still the 'real people' clause so why is one okay and the other 'vile and disgusting' (quoted exactly from the story they posted abt my art btw)
some part of me knows its not that deep, because it really isnt we all just want to support our favourite teams and drivers and have fun in this fandom space together and follow basic fandom etiquette, if you dont like, then dont interact, something i myself have been doing ever since i started liking formula 1
but another part of me knows that i shouldnt be getting shit online for stuff that i make for my small community of people, where we genuinely mean no harm and if it bothers you, then thats a personal issue of yours
rpf has been a long running subculture for decades now, it has certain moral boundaries that we all follow here and none of us cross it so its really disheartening to see that the stuff i made being plastered across on ig as dehumanising and fetishising, because the intention behind my art is nothing but of support and joy
and lastly i just wanna say, that if ur an active tumblr user and if my (in my opinion, very lowkey art compared to regular tumblr content) is getting you this worked up then u should consider changing social medias lmao
The reality is this. You left Islam, and that is your choice, may Allah guide you. But when you begin speaking about Islam publicly, especially with criticism or bitterness, that is no longer a private choice. You’ve made it a public da’wah, a call to falsehood, and that requires a public refutation.
Your stories, no matter who they are for, do not exist in a vacuum. They influence people. And when you choose to talk about Islam in a way that misrepresents it, mocks it, or spreads doubt, whether directly or subtly—you’re not just "sharing your experience." You're planting seeds of confusion, and we are commanded by Allah to protect the religion and clarify the truth:
“And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies the truth when it has come to him?” (Qur’an 6:93)
You said, “We don’t share it for you,” but you shared it publicly. The internet isn’t a diary. It’s a platform. When you label your content “ex-Muslim” but use it to attack Islam, you’ve made a choice to be heard and that means you will be answered.
And as for safe spaces: we don't accept the idea that truth has to be silenced so someone can feel safe in their falsehood. Islam is not an opinion; it's haqq. It is not just “a religion we left,” it is the Deen of Allah, and we don’t watch it be insulted and stay silent, even if every kafir on the earth tells us to.
"You are the best nation produced for mankind: you enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong..." (Qur’an 3:110)
Finally, if my words feel like they “don’t belong” in the ex-Muslim tag, ask yourself: Why does kufr deserve a safe space but the truth of Islam does not? You left Islam. We didn’t. And we will never stop speaking on behalf of it.
If you leave Islam as a religion, Leave it as a topic. I do not care for your apostasy story and neither does any other muslim.
i need to sit by the ocean about this
