>What are moovie nights?

When a host is available we hold a "moovie night" where we unite and watch movies together. Please refer to the announcement posts per event to see when they are scheduled. Everyone is encouraged to host!

>What is Tunesday?

Tunesdays are days when we listen to music, often according to a theme. They are held on Tuesdays, but you are free to hop in whenever and organize your own! Everyone is allowed to add music to the playlist. The host will alternate by who added what so everyone gets a chance to listen to their picks.

Come draw together with anons! Nobody else in? Leave a doodle before you go! Everyone welcomed, artfags or not. Drawings of board-tan highly appreciated.

>How it works

Every doodle board has a theme to encourage creativity. There are currently 4 main boards that are cycled through, and when the current board is nearly full a poll will be posted for users to vote on the next theme. Polls stay up for about 2-3 days, and they are your sign that the board will be cleared soon. A picture of the completed board and the new theme name will be posted. Occasional reminders will be posted with the link and theme of the current board. Miss the previous theme? That's alright! Just go to the previous board and add your doodle. Make sure to post it to the thread when you're done.

If you have any theme requests, please post them! We always appreciate new theme suggestions. Themes are merely a suggestion, you can draw whatever you like on the board but please keep in mind that we have a shitpost/no theme board.

Aside from the main board(s), there may also be multiple active side boards at any given time. These side boards have themes such as coloring book, vent/horror, shitposting/no theme, etc.

If you make a new layer and then leave the board you may not be able to access that layer again due to restrictions put on the boards to protect against raids and defacing. In this case, feel free to ask in this thread for your layer back and an admin will assist you.

In general, please do not be afraid to ask for help with anything. Admins cannot be active 24/7 but we will try to help you work out any issues as soon as possible.

Here's the last board, the theme was alternate lolcow reality. I personally love the little scenic doodle of the lolcow farm entrance and the cow browsing on lolfarm.cow. If you like any doodles on this board, be sure to reply!

The new theme is stickman war. Y2K fashion came in second place. Have fun!

How would one go about writing a feminist story if the cast is just the female lead mc and 6 guys who might like her in a game?
It's supposed to be a romance otome game but I'm not sure how to make it leave the audience with thoughts about how the world does women dirty. Do I make the possible suitors into shit scrotes? I don't want girls to think they "can fix him" tho and I want that happily ever after ending for all guy options, mc deserves to be happy after all regardless of is she likes guys with glasses or emo boys.

No. 1988230

>>1988198
I won't lie anon, it sounds tough to make an otome display misogyny in a way that isn't remarkably shallow or spineless, but I guess a good place to start is, what is the point of showing that the world is misogynistic in this game?

No. 1988237

>>1988198
Your genre is inherently unfeminist, what's the point?

No. 1988246

>>1988198
Depends on the context I guess, I think it may be possible, but you will always have an "I can fix him" crowd, specially if MC gets a LI that's an asshole that never changes and means having a bad end.
In a modern context it would be actually easier to make people be able to relate to what's going on that's hurting women.
In a fantasy context it's chalked up as some sort of "silly author making silly euphemisms and analogies, that never happens!!!".
In a historical context, people may think "Oh boy! I'm so glad I don't live in those times anymore! It sure was really bad back then!!"
You can add fantastic themes to a modern context but you need to be able to know when is it too much, when it's too much, people ignore the horrors and focus on the fantasy stuff too much, or try to build analogies that aren't exactly what are you trying to say, which is why there's always the most retarded theories and headcanons about popular media nowadays.
It's not impossible but you really need to think about what exactly are you trying to show people.
So say, in example:
You have this MC who used to have a shit childhood, she was constantly harassed by men, and ostracized by her peers because her friends and teachers would've rather support any boy than her, or would say the classic lines that we all have heard while growing up:
>boys will be boys
>Maybe you provoked him
>he just likes you, that's why he calls you ugly!
>Maybe if you tried losing some weight they would stop bothering you!
>you just need some make up to be pretty like the other girls!
And so on, just don't try to put too much emphasis on that, you have to be subtle about it because then your MC will be put in the "NLOGs" box.

Thread to discuss the phenomenon of "fujoshi", the women that identify as such and the women who criticise it.

To a latter extent, discuss also the phenomenon of "yumejoshi" and "himejoshi", especially when it comes to the yume vs. fujo feud.

Discuss the history of fujoshism, speculate on its reasons, argue your opinion on it and exchange intelligent views with other farmers.

Topics include:
>Is the fujoshi-to-TIF pipeline real, or merely a symptom of something else?
>Do fujoshi self-insert in the uke and/or seme? Or do fujoshi simply look at slash couples in a voyeuristic manner?
>What is your view on the early 2000s phenomenon of identifying as a fujoshi "but not supporting real life homos"?
>Is being a fujoshi a way of escaping misogyny, or does it reinforce it?
>What is your opinion on omegaverse, and the het omegaverse which followed?
>Are fujos addicted to pornography? Are yumes?

A lot of it I think is to feed into their delusions of passing as 'natal' men (or they find the concept of stealthing and the eventual reveal hot or something idk), and so if they were to draw a tiffed out male character with an obvious female body (even a hormonally masculinised one) it'd ruin the illusion. The tif traits are also a form of self-inserting and making a character more relatable to them, which is kind of wild if you think of it in the context of 'I can't like/relate to someone without them having been mutilated the same way I have/want to be'. Also if you just slap on surface traits like the scars, it doesn't really change the initial character design too much, which is what actually appeals to them

There are also tif artists who do the whole 'draw a girl, call it a boy' thing, often mixed up with a bunch of other fetishes and #positivity things, but that's a different mindset imo

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree because I fundamentally think different from you. Arguments like "everything is a copy" always felt short and dismissive in my eyes. There are varying levels of referencing and copying and saying every artist copies each other to the same level she did is just throwing any nuance out of the window. I truly can't understand this black and white thinking.
It's absolutely fine to be inspired and learn elements from other artists, but this level of copying is just ripping someone off. Master studies are studies, nobody claims them as their own or hides the source. There's a clear difference to me and had she credited her, I wouldn't see any issues, but she even made sure to say didn't even reference her kek. According to the tweets that was the second time she copied her art, the first time she agreed to give her credit, so she probably DMed her.
I don't care about who is the bigger or smaller artist, specially when the numbers of both of them are not even that high. Being a small artist doesn't give you a pass to copy others without crediting and passing as your own.
To me, studies are not copies in the sense of stealing, they are genuine analysis and breakdowns and don't hide the source. Trying to pass someone's idea as your own is just not the same and she planned on selling those.

The first post I see was them complaining that so many see her oh so female character as a man.
I am a beginner at drawing so I don't know shit and if this artists was already mentioned here, but I hate it so much when people do stuff like that. It looks clearly like man.

In my opinion, booktok books are just repackaged and slightly devolved Danielle Steel type slop. She's written over 190 books, I doubt many of them are well edited or even just decently written in general. I used to read Harlequin romances when I was bored and honestly most of them were hot shit and not much better than current books when compared, the only difference is that there's excessive and unneeded edge to a lot of recent slop and much of it is derivative.
Same old shit, different shirt.

ayrt and yeah, a lot of them are just fanfics with the serial numbers filed off (though I think it's interesting that these ones never seem to belong to that slim category of fanfics that actually are high enough quality that they feel like reading a real, published novel kek, though that's likely due to the types of authors behind these things), with the worst ones (that I'm aware of) originating from rpf wattpad fics.

I also feel like going for booktok as a whole is misguided, as the people on there who just want to read basic trashy YA for fun get lumped in with/overshadowed by the people frothing over McHandsome rapist stalker book boyfriends who entrap the female mc financially and through pregnancy etc and who openly admit they can't get through reading a book if there's no sex/'spice' in the first quarter of the novel (tbh that's the main thing that 'concerns' me, as you shouldn't need porn just to get through a book/any media, really)

At least those people have a reading habit and can pick up better books more easily than the average doomscroller since they do have a habit and are likely in libraries/bookstores more often. A reading habit focused around trashy genre fiction is better than avoiding books at all costs like the average adult in the US does.
