Fansplaining: Purity Culture

Fansplaining: Purity Culture is an episode of the podcast Fansplaining by Flourish Klink and Elizabeth Minkel.
For others in the series, see Fansplaining.
==Introduction==
"In Episode 84, “Purity Culture,” Elizabeth and Flourish brace themselves and dive into a topic they’ve been asked about many times before. They define and deconstruct the term, along with the related “antis” and “stans”—who they are, how they behave, and what impact they have on fandom as a whole. They also address listener letters about the monetization of fanfic, new EU copyright law, and their interview with Javier Grillo-Marxuach." 
==Links==
* Episode, show notes, and transcript: 
* 
==Topics Discussed==
* Examples of how purity culture gets invoked in fandom spaces, and where people's definitions of 'purity culture' may vary. For instance, purity culture: 
** In relation to callout culture or anti-shippers
** Invoked in reaction to discussions about racism in fandom or other issues like bury your gays
** When arguing about age gap or underage content 
** When debating what kinds of content should be permissible in fandom spaces, including fanworks containing or perceived to contain incest or similarly contentious tropes or elements
* Assumptions which get made about the motives authors have in creating certain fanworks 
* A brief callback to Fansplaining: Shipping and Activism where structural issues, specifically around racism in fandom, are discussed 
* Stan culture and parasocial relationships 
* Tackling difficult themes and topics in fanworks and the importance of tagging or providing warnings for content
* Whether lines of rhetoric around purity culture are getting worse over time
*Listener letters about Special Episode 8: The Lurker, E.U. Copyright restrictions, and Fansplaining: Javier Grillo-Marxuach

For others in the series, see Fansplaining.
==Introduction==
"In episode 23, Flourish and Elizabeth take on the fourth wall—not the metaphorical wall between the audience and the actors on a stage, but the one erected BY fans to separate them (and their fanworks) from creators. After a crash course on the history of the fannish fourth wall, they discuss famous fan/creator clashes, from the Phelps twins confronted with Weasleycest to Benedict Cumberbatch writing het fanfic about Sherlock. And they consider whether any creator can cross the fourth wall successfully—and whether, in the age of social media, there’s any way the fourth wall *won’t* get broken."
