WOY FANDOM PSA: protect yourself from possible fetish mining

Familiarize yourself with what fetish mining is so you can recognize the warning signs and avoid being exploited by people who do this. If you ever feel uncomfortable with something, trust your gut and know that you're never obligated to go along with anything you don't really want to, especially if anything about it feels "off."

This is stuff everybody should be aware about, but I'm making this PSA specifically for the woy fandom because we've had an ongoing problem with somebody in the fandom who very much appears to be fetish mining. This user is VERY active & outgoing in the fandom and they constantly send people fanart—and try to get people to draw them the same kind of fanart—that has the recurring theme of tentacles/bondage, yandere, & characters sweating/shaking in fear.

This is not to shame people for having weird interests or even fetishes. The issue with behavior like this, if the fixation is a fetish, is leading people into creating or engaging with fetish content without their informed consent, which is exploitative (and can even count as sexual harassment, if not worse.)

---

The user being discussed in this post is wanderfan2000. I am NOT naming her to get her shamed/harassed - if you send any hate and harassment her way, you're an absolute dirtball. I am only naming her because there are serious & credible allegations of inappropriate behavior (suspected fetish mining) on her part, so I want for people to be able to exercise caution around her!

For additional background: wanderfan2000 is known for constantly talking to people about her obsession with The Lonely Planet, and for being fixated with Wander being wrapped up in Planet Janet's vines or in any situation that makes him visibly anxious/terrified (e.g. she also has a thing for depictions of Wander being hunted by the Phantomines from The Heebie Jeebies.) She also goes to people who she knows are underage to ask them to discuss or draw these things for her...

A minor she's interacted with in this way sent me the following messages & screenshots and asked that I share them under the condition that I keep their account name censored for their protection. This person is underage and was still approached by wanderfan2000 to draw what we're afraid was a thinly-veiled request for fetish art. Here are the testimonies I've been asked to share:

(The context behind me getting this ask is that I made a post the other day talking about how scared I was that a certain "somebody" - I was nervous to name her at the time because part of me still wanted to give benefit of the doubt - was an active fetish miner in the fandom. After seeing my post, they came into my inbox to share their experience with wanderfan2000 and the disconcerting interactions they've had with her.)

Their interactions with wanderfan2000:

TW for suspected fetish mining / sexual harassment of a minor in the next screenshot:

I don't have any other screenshots because, quite frankly, I don't have the stomach to hunt down additional evidence, but I've also witnessed wanderfan2000 hitting up fans of all ages to engage in roleplays with her, which, even if she keeps her roleplays on here 100% G-rated, is a huge red flag in and of itself bc she likes to RP stuff about Wander and Janet/yanderes, which are the very things she's suspected of fetish mining for. Either way, it's evident that she doesn't establish boundaries for interacting with underage fans bc she discusses & requests the same things from them that she does with adults, which is not safe.

---

The only person who can know for a fact whether or not wanderfan2000 was fetish mining people for her own gratification is wanderfan2000 herself. (Once again, DO NOT HARASS WANDERFAN2000 OVER THIS.) Sometimes it's easy to figure out whether or not this is going on, and sometimes, due to the nature of it relying entirely on plausible deniability, it can be incredibly hard to tell if someone is fetish mining. I can't speak for her intentions, but I will say that wanderfan2000's art posts and patterns of behavior show major signs of her having a fetish. So on that note, if you feel that wanderfan2000 or anyone else is fetish mining people, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM. DO NOT SEND THEM HATE MAIL OR OTHERWISE HARASS THEM. SIMPLY BLOCK/IGNORE THEM. Warn anyone you think they might be taking advantage of, if need be, and leave it at that. Don't be afraid to block or say no to somebody who's making you feel uncomfortable online - and I don't just mean in these types of contexts. Again, your safety should always come first, and if you ever get a bad feeling about someone or about a situation, you have no obligation to tough it out if your gut is telling you something's wrong! It's always okay to disengage. You ALWAYS have the right to say you're uncomfortable with something.

---

wanderfan2000's response:

Wanderfan2000 made a post in response to the original PSA warning about her behavior, and we talked about what the problem was in the post replies. I didn't get any screenshots of her individual replies to me on there because she kept deleting and rewriting them each time I added a new point, but there is another post, here, where we talked some more in the notes; you can look there for more of her comments. I'm sharing this because I think it's important for people to know that she's acknowledged the allegations, shared her side, and promised to fix her behavior so she doesn't cause people harm. The decision to believe her side of the story and trust that she'll be mindful of others going forward is up to each of you, and the choice to accept her apology is solely up to the people she's hurt.

---

Apologies for how long this post has gotten, but hopefully this can help people inform themselves on how to stay safe from fetish mining and other forms of explotative behavior online. Maybe this can even bring awareness to people who might be engaging in similar behaviors so they can self-reflect and stop themselves from potentially victimizing anybody, too. Remember that being mindful of other people's comfort and consent is ALWAYS important.

Stay safe, everybody.

#UPDATE #and a very long update at that oughgh sorry #hopefully there won't be any more updates to this bc it's nuked my time management so bad oh my gof

I saw your reply and yeah. I can’t believe that there’s a fetish minor in the fandom.

Fetish miner*

They can strike in any fandom :( Ik it also isn't uncommon for a fetish miner to send art requests to people in a bunch of different fandoms all at the same time because they want to see how many they can get to draw their fetish for them. It's unfortunately really easy for people to go along with because from their pov it just looks like an lolrandom art request or something along those lines. Others might try to make it sound like a cutesy, innocent art request, or like an innocuous special interest / hyperfixation.

It stinks because it makes it hard to tell when someone is being sincere and excited about a cool idea they had for a thing they just happen to be hyperfixated on, and when someone is being a legit creeper and trying to exploit others for fetish stuff. But what matters is knowing that you can refuse to engage with anything for any reason, even if it really is innocent, because personal comfort & boundaries should always come first. Above all, it's never a person's fault for being tricked into something! It's always the fault of the person doing the decieving.

#a person being super passionate/intense/repetitive about somthing doesn't inherently mean it's a fetish ofc but it's always ok 2 b cautious #if someone is very forceful/insistent with taking a convo in a certain direction or if they act oddly suggestive then that's 1 big red flag #in this case: wanderfan2000 Always wanting to turn convos towards the vines in the lonely planet... or wander's fear... etc.#the nature of her art reqs being as super repetitive and specific as they are... again that alone COULD be innocent but the subject matter-#--being a very common fetish was one big alarm. and then there's the way she described it as smthn easy to depict in an ''intense'' way??#AND THE WINKING FACE SHE ADDED TO THE END OF HER REQ. SPECIFICALLY AFTER THE PART THAT EASILY READ AS SEXUAL/FETISHY #That made it crystal clear that she's doing what we were afraid she was doing. All that stuff is her fetish and she's a fetish mining creep #I've also been informed that she follows/interacts with overtly suggestive & nsfw stuff that aligns with these 'interests' of hers. so. yea #that confirms that her interest in the stuff IS sexual :( which isn't to k*nkshame - ppl can like what they like #but covertly making people engage with your fetish & produce content for it without informed consent?!#talking to *minors* abt things u have a sexual affinity for?!? it doesn't matter if you don't send anything explicit! STILL EXPLOITATION!#There was Never anything innocent about it 😭 She's a creep who likes getting as many ppl as she can to draw/write/converse abt her fetish #MAYBE she's bad enough at socializing to not understand that she's being inappropriate but she would still know it's fucked to involve kids #The fact that she doesn't give a shit is what makes her actions predatory through and through. She knows better. This is gross and maliciou #I hope enough people can be made aware of her behavior so they can keep themselves safe from being taken advantage of

#If you got roped into drawing anything for a fetish miner: it is NOT your fault. It's THEIR fault for taking advantage of people's kindness.#They're crossing lines they have no right to cross and you didn't do anything to deserve that. Nobody deserves to be treated like that.#updated 3/28/24 8:24 EST #please reblog this if you read it to spread the word - I block people in the fandom pretty liberally and I want everyone to be informed #Wander Over Yonder #woy #The Lonely Planet #Planet Janet #Wander woy #again I DO NOT WANT ANYONE HARASSING WANDERFAN2000. JUST BLOCK AND STAY AWAY. STAY SAFE.#Keeping informed is how we deprive fetish miners the power to take advantage of people. Harassment accomplishes nothing.#Also if you recognize the person in the screenshots please respect their privacy #They really don't want their name attached for their own comfort and safety. Please please be respectful #Take care of yourselves and take care of each other

What is a fetish minor? Sounds like a non legal person doing sexual things

DID I TYPO IT AS MINOR ANYWHERE? /GENQ

Fetish mining refers to the act of going around and trying to get people to produce fetish content for you without being upfront about it being a fetish thing. In other words, it's exploitation and deceit, and it's 100% sexual harassment because of the fact that people are led to believe that they're engaging in something innocent when in actuality they aren't.

#a prime & very blatant irl example off the top of my head is when dan schnieder asked kids to draw on their feet & send pics to nickelodeon #under the guise of it being a promo for icarly or sam & cat or whatever and that it was just silly lolrandom humor stuff. when it wasn't.#this stuff happen online a lot in the form of like... either anons or one specific person off anon always asking people for the same art re #the same... super super specific and SEEMINGLY innocent art req. like that guy who always asked for cartoon characters #dressed up like animals. with like pig snouts and stuff. and turns out it was the creep's fetish that he kept having literal minors draw 🤮#sexual harassment tw #tw: csa ment ?#anyway. yeah.#i'm seeing something REALLY REALLY SIMILAR in the woy fandom for the past few(?) years now #and it's starting to get increasingly difficult to assume is innocuous and okay to ignore #but im always seeing people being really really chummy with them BECAUSE of how friendly and innnocent they come off!! and they're like #in EVERYONE'S inbox bc they're crazy friendly. and uhmgfm. yeah. but i've seen some stuff that feels really REALLY suspect #and i think they often interact with minors and um. yeah. it freaks me out #i also worry that it's not something they knowingly do?#like i'm afraid it's an nd person who doesn't recognize that their fixation is a fetish that they have..#i don't know #i also don't want to be infantilizing to people are say autistic or antyhing like that bc that's not an excuse and there's #tons of instances of people who are this or that but still knowingly pulling shit like that and uh #yeah. it's just that i have seen one or two examples before where a person isn't aware like at all that they're fetish mining #yruihgbhjh i dont know. but it freaks me out.#i've seen stuff from this person that suggests that they likely are self aware but i blocked them ages ago so i only know so much and urhgj #i don't know i'm scared of starting shit i don't know enough about but 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰#at the very least i really want people in this fandom to be more aware of what fetish mining is so they can spot and steer clear of it.....#oh also I AM SO FUCKING SORRY IF I ACCIDENTALLY SPELLED IT AS FETISH MINOR ANYWHERE. OH MY OGD #L

Tell me why I JUST SAW GIFT ART OF WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.

THAT'S WHAT PROMPTED THE POST

#i'd say my heart jumped out of my body but that doesn't really. phrase it rightg.#yk when people say ''my heart sank'' or when something drops into a pit in their stomach? something./ something close to that #SHOCK/ALARM but like a sinking feeling almosct bc oh god oh no it';s that one fear i've HAD #and honestly. most of me being hit with so much freak out / dread was bc i could NOT tell if op was a minor or not. if they are is2g 😰#they could easily be an adult tho! i dunno! but um! yeah. i'm largely freaked by the fact that the person the gift art is for-#-interacts with minors a lot. so like. i;m always scared #😟#anyway im currently sitting w/ the assumption that that's an adult. bc i have no reason atm to assume the worst in that regard. so yah!#and on that note IT'S HOPEFULLY AN ADULT WHO'S LIKE. ALSO. INTO THAT. bc in that case that's totally fine. but if not then this is so gross #ururghhghhhhhhh #i need all fetish miners to fall off the face of the earth now right now #this is so fucking worrying like!!!!! this is a fandom for a kids' show FUCKING STOP

Here’s the original thread on twitter, but as someone who has done a lot (a lot a lot) of anonymous fic prompts, I’ve had this happen to me and it absolutely feels exploitative and uncomfortable.

Round 1, Group 4

Propaganda and spoilers under cut

Potted Plant: Well... it's a bounty hunter! The potted plant is a bounty hunter. Hater hires it to capture Wander - but don't worry, Wander's very forgiving, he even gives the potted plant a Christmas present in a later episode

Morbuzakh: bionicle lore gets weird so i'll do my best to simplify. okay. so first things first, the little meat robot mayor has been replaced by a power-hungry ex-protector whose job is to make fucked-up animals and shit. he's called makuta. he makes this semi-sentient plant, promises it that it can rule the city once it's done what he wants it to, and plants it in a fucking furnace. its job is to round up all the little meat robot civilians so they can be put into amnesia-inducing orbs. incidentally, its efforts result in some of them dying. six little meat-robot civilians get picked out by the local superhero and turned into big meat-robot superheroes. they go on a quest to find a bunch of magic frisbees in order to defeat the giant evil plant. the frisbees destroy the king root, and it dies this plant is notable because, though it was mostly cut from the animated movie adaptation of that arc, it appeared in one brief scene that led to many bionicle fans developing a bondage kink
