More on topic, tumblr has definitely ruined indie music for me.

Not to mention all the "shipping" stuff I see, which is great when it's dealing with characters, but when people are shipping ACTUAL PEOPLE it just gets weird and uncomfortable.

>>55499I was going to say the same thing, although I watch anime since I'm a child and I feel like tumblr is mostly ruining recent anime. Then again I've unfollowed so many shitty blogs that maybe I'm missing the ones ruining fandoms nowadays.
It's the same thing for video games. I noticed with the Megami Tensei series: Persona 4 and Catherine are talked about avery often because of their
problematic content (transphobia and homophobia in both, which is wrong, the serial killer being /r9k/ incarnate in p4, and talking about this like they're not even spoilers), but as I'm playing more and more of the previous games or less-known one, and there aren't any sjws talking about them, only people who like the games for what they actually are. It feels great not having to see posts about how someone likes a character "but not because they're [insert
problematic things here] it's because they're well-written I'm not [insert same
problematic thing here] I swear!!1!"
Another unrelated thing, tumblr totally ruined the concept of "love yourself, treat yourself" and self-acceptance/self-confidence. These people don't know how not to seem like annoying show-offs instead of confident people. It's the most visible during "blackout" days or any similar days for other minorities. Sometimes they even show off because of other people's accomplishment who are unrelated to them, except for being from the same minority as them. I'm not sure how to explain how and why exactly it pisses me off so much though.
>>55592I barely know anything about this game but I think you might be talking one of my friends' favorite character from this game. She complained about something similar once when she tried to convince me to play Life is Strange or to watch a playthrough.
>>55597>but they're SJWs who also hate anime and shitYou mean people who dislike anime ironically or the SJWs who hate almost every anime ever because they held them to American standards of what's politically correct?
No. 55605
>>55598It's mainly recent anime that has been ruined, you're right, but not only. I mainly follow blogs that rarely interject their personal opinions into things (and when they do I agree with them) but it's mainly when I go actively searching for new content that I see sjw "Misato is a sexual predator!" "Don't sexualize the Evangelion kids it makes me uncomfortable uwu" while simultaneously obsessing over Kawoshin because it's a canon gay couple, even though they're still 14/15 years old. Fetishizing gay kids is TOTALLY FINE though because the person who owns the blog probably identifies as gay since they are a genderqueer girl who is into boys.
They always seem to forget that all of the characters are Japanese and stories take place in Japan unless stated otherwise so they will draw characters as black/South Asian/Indian/anything that is not white or Japanese doing things in not-Japan thus erasing their precious POC characters in favor of having other, more oppressed POC characters. The same people who talk about cultural erasure will go on to erase all semblance of Japanese culture from their fav anime, maybe because certain aspects are
problematic to them, or maybe because they are so Americentric that they think any character with white skin is white. Or maybe they feel like they are appropriating Japanese culture by drawing a girl in a yukata or something.
Any pairing you like that is not 100% light and fluffy or same-aged people is supporting abuse. And also every character is an asexual demiboy because like…they didn't have sex in the show or something? They wore pants once? They made a joke about wanting to be the opposite gender once? All tomboy characters are now trans as well.
But in general the thing that bugs me is just how overbearingly into the shows tumblr fandoms tend to be, but on a completely SHALLOW level. Like, please write tons of theoretical essays about an anime or manga for me to read, or analyze some seemingly unimportant detail, or something. I love that shit. But I don't care about headcanon #63726 that deals solely with gender and sexuality of characters. If that is all you got from the series then I don't know what to tell you. Look at what the tumblr JJBA community looks like. A series with decades of lore and yet tumblr just wants to ship them all and call them trans because they are flamboyantly styled.
I realize all of this can apply to most things tumblr gets its grubby hands on.
But as I said it rarely actually pops up and bothers me personally, and there are plenty of great artists and blogs on tumblr. And it's certainly not JUST tumblr that has made me generally avoid other anime fans. I think as someone who has been actively into anime since the mid to late 90s it's been a bit frustrating to watch things evolve as they have. Yaoi fangirls nyaaaing all over the place and cosplaying their yaoi schmex used to be the shame of the anime community but now we have this shit.

>>55605Thank god I learned very quickly how to avoid the idiots in the Jojo fandom once I started the anime. I find it amazing that so many tumblrinas like the new trendy animanga even though these series have a bunch of things they hate in them, like fanservice with underage character for example. I'm only counting NGE and JOJO because of the Rebuild movies and the recent anime adaptation, respectively.I wonder if it's because they're trying to stay relevant or if it's because they genuinely like these things but they don't want to seem
problematic for loving something that isn't 10000% in the eyes of some of the craziest bloggers (you know, the ones who make a lot of callout posts because somebody reblogged a fanart of a character who is the evil antagonist or something).

>>55613I've been surfing the fandoms actively since 2000. There were no limits back then, nobody got called out for being a transphobe/racist/whatever and you could write just whatever sick stuff came into your mind and people either ignored it or laughed at it. I honestly don't remember coming across crazy SJWs back then on the internet until like 2011 or 2012. Sure there were shipping wars and headcanons but the headcanons back then were pretty much limited to "he's gay and he likes this guy". Not "he's an asexual PoC transboy". Nobody gave two fucks about video games being "sexist", the girls played them just the same and never felt attacked. We just liked the jRPGs that had pretty boys catering to us.
The callout culture existed before the 2010's but it was mostly for those that were actually considered to be whacked, like the people who were otherkin and 50 shades of crazy. And the "callouting" was limited to a thread on Something Awful or a humor article on some other satire site like Encyclopedia Dramatica. It ended there. Nobody was fired or attempted suicide, people just laughed at their shitty Sonic OCs. Pretty similar to what we have here on Lolcow now. Not "this bigot tweeted ableist slurs, SJWS ATTACCCKKK".
And this is what fucking kills me. After over 15 years of being online and relying on the Internet to be the ultimate zone of free speech and expression, you see people like fucking Shmorky siding with the SJWs and coming out as a genderfluid. Plebcomics is doing stuff that's a LOT tamer than what we had in 2001-2006 and she gets shadowbanned on Tumblr and tons of hate anons who got her fired by harassing her employer.
So yeah, tumblr is ruining the whole internet for me. I'm thankful for places like lolcow where things can be kind of how they were since most places are now either coddling to the SJW feefees or the gathering of the most paranoid /pol/tards blaming jews for everything.

I enjoy traps because they are boys in dresses, that's all about it. Not some alternative genderfluid transgender xD bullshit.
I have some serious personal grudge against that place. It ruined several of my friendships and relationships. I can't go talk to my close friends about some subjects at all that I would had debated with them before because tumblr brainwashed them, and I know they'll answer me with tumblrina buzzwords. It confused one of my boy friends into thinking he is a girl when he doesn't suffer gender dysphoria (because for tumblrinas if a boy is not a horrible person or masculine then it means he is a girl). I'm legit worried about a girl I know because she started a hormonal treatment and it gives me vibes what she's going through it's just a phase and she's gonna regret it in the future. I had also this girl I knew that was kind of a (forgive my weeb) senpai to me. She had been in my main fandom for years before i got into it and she was super reliable. I didn't talk to her very often, yet she was that person you know you can say something to her at any moment and she will answer you back. She would even give me advice if she saw I needed it sometimes. Tumblr fame turned her into a self-absorbed cunt. She's unrecognizable compared with her self of 3 or 4 years ago. It hurts me even remembering about it.

Also, I think Lets plays are becoming cancerous, well mostly their fanbases. Especially because a lot of people on tumblr practically worship these people and even go far enough to cosplay them. I mean personally I only like two best friends because they're chill, genuine and their fan base is tame. But channels like GG, Markiplier, cryotic etc. always seem to have the most insane and obnoxious fans and do play a part in attracting them to certain games/fandoms

>>55648Yeah, even the old games. It's not super overt since the series is niche and most people just wanna reblog art, but I saw some random "Tamaki is trans" "Zayin is otherkin" type things. Then there's Raidou being a gay sex symbol even in Japan so things get kinda weird there. Most of it is definitely centered around more recent titles like Devil Survivor or even Digital Devil Saga though. I'm also referring to the attitudes of people in the fandom themselves. I got to know a lot of them and watch them spiral into insanity over a few years, so even if they aren't pushing any politics on SMT at any given time, they're still incredibly high-maintenance people I'd avoid. The ones who weren't like this were some posters who frequented /smtg/ back in the day. I'm not sure if any still do or even if they're still around since the general died out a while ago.
I definitely understand the suffering of the Europoors, but what I meant were the older titles that can be easily emulated and have translation patches, or games like Soul Hackers that got recent ports. There were a few times I wanted to talk mechanics or what demons someone ran with on a few titles, then they'd straight up admit they never played it and only said so to look cool or they gave up and watched an LP instead.
Look into emulating Raidou 2. I think like Raidou 1 it runs pretty well in battles and the overworld, just lags in the city. It definitely emulates better than DDS1&2 though.
>>55712Not even just YouTube LPs, but this one girl I knew only read those SA forum LPs that are just images with text. She had no idea how to play the games and had virtually no context for anything, then tried to act superior to people and make fun of them when they posted about struggling at whatever point in the game. She also took anything anyone from SA said as the gospel truth and got super angry if you even lightly criticized them.
Back before LPs became this huge personality cult I used to think they were nice for getting a look at a game before you bought it, or seeing any content you might've missed on a playthrough, or just looking up an old game you could never beat and seeing someone else fly through it. What the fuck happened?

I'm only playing the games released in Europe right now and I'll move on to emulating once I'm done with them, but that's because my computer is a piece of junk.
The games are so unknown where I'm from that I can only talk about them online, and now I know how to avoid the worst parts of "fandoms", so it could have been worse for me. I think more people are talking about the series now that SMT IV Final has been announced.

>>55615>>55752I got into DR a little after the initial hype died but before the anime came out and I loved it. The whole "chihiro and sakura are trans uwu" bullshit didn't make it into my vision until much later so I thankfully missed it. DR is all kinds of ~
problematic~ with violence, murder, manipulation, mental illnesses and whatever, why are these people even into it?
And that's actually my main problem with SJWs. Instead of supporting things they like and feel comfortable with, they police around other people's interests and want everything to feature an obese transgendered PoC disabled person and a cast with only marginal minorities. Do you see bullshit like Gen Zed getting a big applause from them? No, because they won't be satisfied with anything they've given. They ignore it completely and instead focus on things meant for OTHER focus groups and demand them to change for their needs. This is because they don't actually give a shit about the social justice cause but their own need for self-importance. And because it's a profitable source now, a lot of people cater to them and give into their needs because they're the loudest and most aggressive, all the while ignoring the original audience who feel alienated by it. This happened with a game project called Mighty No. 9 which was a crowdfunded project by the creator of the Mega Man series, they hired a fullblown SJW bitch as the western community manager and she started banning everyone who disagreed with her SJW thoughts on the forums and tried to change the main character to a female avatar of herself. Thus, they lost a lot of support.
They're just a product of the generation that has been taught to demand their rights but not make any compromises. Maybe someday this bullshit will subside and video games, comics and anime will return to obscurity.

What's worse is that the movie takes place during our country's war against the Americans and most of the fanfics (yeah, of course they make fanfics) and fandom stuff feel so Americanized, even going so far as to call this one man named Gregorio (who was a general and died in a historic stand off against the Americans) 'Greggy'. His nickname is Goyong. Most history books mention this. The movie itself uses the nickname. It feels so wrong calling a man who fought against the Americans an Americanized nickname, idk.
The thing that weirds me out the most is that they treat it as fiction but they take the entire movie as fact, even if the movie makes a disclaimer at the beginning that it's not supposed to be taken as such.
A sidenote: am I the only one that feels that tumblr has a certain American-ness to it? Even users who are neither American nor live in America have that air to them if they're the tumblrina type. I can't really describe it, just that it's most apparent in the lingo and the 'politics' (sjw stuff)

>>55830Just look at how they absolutely turned on Urbance once the project was announced. They got their all-POC cast, their all-gay cast, and the gender wars they have every day but it just wasn't good enough. None of them even cared about the animation quality, it all just came down to moving goalposts and whining about trans*@!pan otherkinsexual erasure.
>>55846I saw this one hilarious post by an 18 year old trying to lecture other "adults", and more specifically anyone over the age of 20, of what it meant to be an adult and how to be responsible on tumblr when you have so many precious, impressionable, clingy kids who hang at your every word around you. It boiled down to never talking to them about anything that wasn't an approved safe topic and don't talk to other adults about things only older people can do where the kids can read it because it makes them uncomfortable you gross pedos.

Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who think that, but I think tumblr ruined comedy/humor/jokes/memes whatever you want to call it. Like, when I started using tumblr I found whatever silly posts on my dashboard funny, but now the humor changed. People became painfully unfunny by spamming the same shitty memes over and over again, and by trying too hard to stay politically correct or something. Once, I stumbled on some blogs run by stuck-up SJWs/fandoms, like dragondicks for example and they were all so painfully trying to be funny it was sad. It's like tthey're trying to stay relevant to some sort of unfunny audience on tumblr. It's hard to express, sorry if it seems vague.
>>55852Don't worry, I enjoy the games very much so far! I didn't follow the news for SMT IV because I thought that it would never be available in Europe so I can't say, but at least /smtg/ is more active since Final's announcement than before. Although some people think that Final will be a new edition of IV instead of the sequel/AU it actually is, that could explain it.

>>55835Tumblr is definitely americentric. I saw a girl talking about it, she's a bit of a sjw but not as annoying as the other ones. But yes, tumblr is too focused on what happens in the United States. All of the awful social justice they follow is based on the things that go on inside their nation, and the bad thing is they spread it to other countries. I had a twitter friend who was really into social justice (I was a liberal back then, but never a sjw type) and she began to see oppression everywhere in her country. She's only an example, there's a bunch of sjws in South America, most of them middle class young girls who think they're oppressed because a boy called them a name once.
And about Hamilton (i'm the anon you answered), I knew it was going to happen. I mean, all of the """PoC""" actors playing white cis males and females, it was a storm waiting to be unleashed. I still enjoy the musical, but the fandom is… repelent. Like, the shipping it's awful. Fucking John Laurens with Alexander Hamilton, or fanfics about Philip being the son of Elizabeth and John.

>>55861I confirm, it's super focused on American issues, even when people talk about things that have nothing to do with America (be it the US or even North and South America). According to SJWs:
>North Africans and Middle Easterns are privileged white people>although sometimes North Africans become honorary black people to further black americans' agenda, whatever it is>think Muslims are an ethnic group, white or asian people converting to Islam are appropriating Muslim culture>white people can't be victims of racism but Irish people and Italians were oppressed some decades ago in the US, so they aren't white anymore according to them>same shit applied nowadays to Latinos who almost only have white European ancestors, they're fully PoC since white people can't be victims of racism>All Africans are the same peaceful homogeneous ethnic group>same shit with Asians>only white people are violent according to history, even though every country and region of the world has been involved in conflicts to the point where it could be argued that humanity as a whole is terrible>there aren't any PoC in Europe EVER! Good thing there are terrorist attacks in France, it's not like the PoC population will be attacked as well since they don't exist!!1!>reading or watching animanga is cultural appropriation/problematic even though people watch American tv shows and movies LITERALLY ALL THE TIME AND ALL AROUND THE WORLD>sexism is exclusively when men spread their legs while sitting in the bus and women are laughed at when they armpits are hairy, it's not like it's worse anywhere else (although sexism exists in the USA too I'm sure, my point is that it's most likely not damaging the way it is in other countries)I'm sure I missed other things so add whatever you want to complain about.

Like, you have two characters. Two boys. One is handsome, the other is ugly. Both of them have acted like jerks at some point yet they have done good deeds as well.
What is gonna tumblr do? They are gonna put the handsome one into a pedestal ignoring the fact he's/has been a fucking jerk, only taking into account the good stuff he's done. They're gonna bash the ugly one to death ignoring the fact he's done good stuff, only taking into account that he has been a jerk.

She'd be an absolute shitlord online, openly shitting on white people and cis people and then claimed she was doing it because she was raped. The problem is that she gave a specific date that she was allegedly raped on and there were no reports of sexual violence on that day. (Sexual violence against minors is also publicly reported in my city but there won't be any details like name or location, just the time).

Tumblr also ruined the entire concept of "art". Now every tumblrina spits on their Wacom and calls themselves ~artist~. And oh are they overly attached to their shitty ~art~.
One time, last year, I found a nice doodle on Pinterest and saved the pic, there was no mention of the artist anywhere but I wanted to find him/her.
So I uploaded the pic on my tumblr (smol blog with, like 30 followers?) saying clearly in the description that I "do not own this, but since I like it and I'd like to find the author, if you know his/her username let me know so I can edit the post blah blah blah". People press like, people reblog, and finally the ~artist~ comes. Her reaction was baffling. "Ummm ur not allowed to repost other ~artists'~ work, you're not obliged to post here everything you see on the internet, if u dunno the source dont post it, it's not that hard, and even if you write the source it's still problematic since you may get more notes than my original post, so delete it"
Since I was a little bit surprised by this unnecessarily bitchy behavior I asked "Why so rude?" and reminded her that I don't get any money from notes, that there was no way that my blog could make more views than hers, and that she could've asked me to put it down politely, and what happened next? She basically capslocked something we could sum up in "PUT IT DOWN PUT IT DOWN REEEEEEEE TRIGGERED!" and sent her followers after me to inbox me other crazy mad shit. Bitch was crazy, and wasn't even the only one. Half of tumblr ~artists~ behave exactly like this, and maybe even more than half.

Messaging someone politely is much more likely to get their cooperation.
The artists who flip their shit about these things remind me of all those nasty girls who used to hang around oekakis back in the day. The deviantart scene sparkledog types. If you drew anything mildly resembling one of their 5000 wolf pictures, they'd gang up on you and rip you apart.
Something that always confused me about these types of people on tumblr too are the ones who wanted more than anything to get a hit post with thousands of notes, then when they finally got that, they'd turn around and complain about it and fake panic attacks about the post geTTtinG NoTES agAIiIN.

We have more art majors than any other major in the humanities (my university is divided into different schools, humanities being one of them) and so many of them go on and on about how they're artists and shit. What's killer is that all their 'art' looks the same since they all do generic tumblr digital art shit, which is probably why a lot of them get culled after their second year (it's the painting-intensive year). Even my painter friend, who's an angel and is extremely non judgmental, admitted she found it hard to take them seriously.

Sorry if this is stupid, had my Sherlock phase ages ago and never really got into fandoms, always found it weird that these shows are so unrelated to each other
No. 57153
>>57152That line is almost a throwaway line from a minor character–a high schooler is arguing that characters in the school play shouldn't be interpreted through the lens of the "nineties culture of victimization" and then goes on to read a few lines of the play. Nothing deep or especially interesting by itself except that it shows there was at least the perception by some that there was an issue with how some people were always reading victimization into everything (which seems very tumblr to me). I was a kid in the 1990s so I don't know how widespread this was, but it makes sense that these ideas didn't just spring fully formed from tumblr and that they were touching online communities and fandoms (even tangentially) 20 years ago.
The fic is part eleven in a longer Gargoyles story: "Sterling Silver" by Christine Morgan. You can do a search to find how little of an impact that line makes on the rest of the story. Unfortunately, really old fics like this are usually hosted on webpages with no built-in comments sections–maybe you can find some commentary on the site its hosted on, but it's not super obvious.
OT but if anyone could rec some good Gargoyles fic I'd appreciate it. This story's not bad, but it's not really scratching my itch.

pretty sure Superwholock just refers to the fact that Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock all got pretty popular on tumblr around the same time, so fans tended to make a ton of fanart such as pic related. The fact that the shows all starred attractive men is probably the main catalyst for the "phenomenon".
No. 57160
>>57158is it bad I recognized the pic was from reapersun before I read the file name? damn Gaia days.
anyways, yeah. As someone who was a superwholocker in the hayday (though not a spergy one), it was mainly because all three shows were popular and had relatively attractive actors at the forefront.
No. 57162
>>57159>>57160They also have very loose canon and can easily fit in fanworks and fan speculation/fanon without it breaking the suspension of disbelief too badly. Doctor who and supernatural more so than Sherlock are also really badly written, so even things like OP Mary Sue self inserts aren't too far-fetched. I think they also know their userbase quite well, so are very careful never to outright deny certain ships etc. that are popular.
Speaking of doctor who actually, I've never understood how not-British, and particularly American people like it? It's kind of accepted here that it's a campy show that's supposed to be bad, and the whole nation enjoys it as a nostalgia irony thing. Without that cultural context, it's just a badly written show with appalling special effects.
No. 57166
>>57120Honestly, I tried to watch supernatural because everyone was so hype about it. Maybe because of that hype I just didn't see the value. Could be that I was just expected more than it was but I blame tumblr regardless.

The fgc is also highly competitive and social (tournaments, playing online, etc.) and Tumblrinas wouldn't be able to handle it because muh social anxiety.

Now, when the game reached America, they just didn't take it and redesigned both Roxy and Poison to be generic male punks because "hitting women is bad".

Street Fighter is a little easier to keep track of since each story is really personal to the character.

Sometimes I watch playthroughs of gaes I already played just to listen to somebody's comments on them, I almost always play things by myself now.
I agree with you on the shitstorms about video games these days. It really feels like the people complaining about sexism or the lack of representation of minorities in video games don't actually play video games or don't know shit about gamers/fanbases. In the West there are gamers of all age, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation but these people don't give a shit and try to make video games look like an evil hobby because they only sort of know one or two series.

Tumbr is ruining magical girls. I fucking hate how they take every single magical girl show and make it all about themselves, shove their terrible OCs in it and rage about their fave "being totally trans!!!1"
The Sailor Moon fandom is a mess. In order to get any attention or approval, you need to draw Usagi as a fat PoC disabled genderqueer autistic sparkling princess in a hijab, there are constant battles over the Senshis' sexuality ("they're all gay because duh, why else would the girls socially interact with each other?!?!!?!??!") and gender ("Makoto is trans for x bullshit reason!!!") and it basically attracts every kind of SJW.
Joke is, Sailor Moon is kinda progressive especially for it's time, and there are canonical gay/genderfluid/poc people but noooo, not progressive enough until you draw them all as 400 pounds morbidly obese red-nosed spaghetti limb figures.
Similar for the Madoka fandom (friendlly reminder that they tried to edit one character's gender to "trans" on the Wiki until the page had to be closed), and all the "OMG teh abusive friendshipppp ;___;" bullcrap is almost as bad as the constant gay/gender arguments.
Don't even get me started on any OCs.
And of course every tumblrina claims to have some special connections to magical girls; it's basically their spirit animal and they're sooo in love!! because they watched an episode of Doremi in the 90's. But since magical girls are "in" everyone tries to hop n the bandwaggon, from SJW to shitty (SJW) artists.

Buttercup was always my favorite, ever since I was a kid but for some reason according to tumblr because she's a tomboy, she HAS to be a transman there's no way she could grow up as a regular woman like her sisters. And it's always buttercup too, it's never blossom or bubbles (they always make bubbles fat too for some reason)

>>58207Seconding this. Having been a Sailor Moon fan since the 90's I'm appalled at all the tumblrinas who make hijab wearing fat ugly translesbian Usagis and decide that all the girls are lesbians because they act like normal teenage girls and that Makoto is totally transgenderfluid because she's a tomboy uwu. The way they completely ignore the other characters makes me doubt if they have ever even watched the anime or read the manga. I never see anyone mention Fisheye (a canon trans), Kunzite/Zoisite, Fiore or pretty much anything else than Haruka and Michiru. And even Haruka has to be a transman even though she was inspired by the takarazuka revue.

>>58301Haruka is definitely not trans. She's probably just an average woman, but if anything, Haruka could be interpreted as genderfluid/nonbinary. In the manga at least (my memory of the anime is more hazy) Haruka is publicly known as a male racecar driver and also at times wants to be seen as male, at least in the case of first meeting Usagi and intentionally keeping her sex a mystery for a while, though of course that could just be because she feels it's easier to flirt with Usagi that way. Also, at one point Neptune explains that Uranus has "the strengths of both genders." Obviously none of that actually means Haruka isn't really just a woman who chooses to masquerade as male when it can gain her something, but if Tumblrinas wanted to see special gender crap in the series, they could just look to Haruka without making any shit up about her being trans or other characters being shit they aren't.
It's just another case of Tumblrinas having a shitty grasp on the series they claim to like and preferring to pull things out of their asses rather than use what's much more tangible already existing within series.

Minako and Usagi are supposed to be practically twins. Why is Usagi a deathfat dwarf and Minako looks like she powerlifts daily? And Makoto is an insult to her true character which is a strong fighter yet extremely feminine young girl.

Dare I say it, nonblacks being included in the POC banner only happens if they want to include a few more easy-to-score points in whatever arguments they're making.
I only say all of this because it freaks me out how Americo-centric all of this is, and trying to force it on other countries in the world, most of which are by definition singular-nation-states, seems like it will end in disaster for the USA.

No. 59409
>>59408This is why I wish fandom would go back to using journal sites like LJ.
Back in the day every ship had their own (usually locked) community, where everyone was free to discuss and write whatever they wanted.
Now the ship tags on Tumblr are full of tween fandom police, and theres no way to kick them out so if you ship something "
problematic" well sucks to be you cause your ship tag will be spammed with gore, hate, everything really.
Funny how they don't care much about "

>>59408>>59409It's like you've forgotten LJ Strikethrough 2007–arguably the reason fandoms have mostly abadoned LJ at this point and become scattered. I was in the Harry Potter fandom at the time and it was godawful: so many authors and artists' accounts deleted for "CP," so many communities lost and works deleted.
>>59408On another note, in response to the post you ss: I have no idea how old Frisk is supposed to be or which fandom this is for, but part of this argument is fundamentally flawed: it assumes the artists are pedos viewing the kids through an adult gaze. As someone who was going through puberty when HP made it big, I was a young teen viewing the characters and ships from the younger person's eyes… maybe that's the case in tgis fandom, too. Saying all shippers are pedos is a bit extreme.

No. 59546
>>59520 It really is a stupid argument. Honestly, most of the time children aren't even written like actual children in media. Writers seem to have a hard time with it,so you either see them acting more like adults are way younger then what they are supposed to be. But even then, they are still fictional. I can see it being a tad bit creepy if you wrote fanfic based on a way young character in a live action series, and even way over the line to draw porn of said actress.
But when you're discussing this sort of matter over a character that is literally pixels, that's when it is ridiculous.
No. 59585
>>59574Preaching to the choir.
I enjoy reading fanfiction. As you say, many stories are incredibly complex and beautiful. Sometimes these stories deal with difficult issues, like a character grappling with betrayal and dealing with the aftermath of being raped. I don't particularly look for stories with noncon, but I have discovered that I like my beloved characters to suffer terribly before they perhaps get their happy ending. I like fics which make me cry; they're cathartic. That's partially why I find the idea of blanket bans of certain literature to be repugnant; who are they to judge something based on a tag?
Even if a rape scene is just for titillation, is it really hurting anyone? Maybe if it was a how to guide on kidnapping, raping, and murdering children I would support it not being easily shared far and wide, but that's probably not the case for most noncon-warning fic.
No. 59587
>>59585>Even if a rape scene is just for titillation, is it really hurting anyone? I find this a little weird, since tumblr is fine with alternative sexual orientations so I figured they should also be against kinkshaming. You'd think they would know that fiction and real life are 2 different things, instead it's like they're literally going back to the whole sex policing thing they're fighting against. Next thing you know, creating and consuming pornography will go back to being a crime.

It's just as ridiculous as those scanlation groups who ragequit and delete everything they've scanlated because someone else started translating the same series.

What would you call galaxy themes, chunky shoes, dyed hair, sometimes shiny tight fabrics, and the whole kind of "tumblr aesthetic"/hipster style before it was even called that? The closest I can think of is it was a little vaporwave (don't know if that came before or after tumblr) and maybe a bit 80's inspired. Did it have a name before tumblr just claimed it for itself?
I'm really sad because I could grasp that style, maybe a milder version of it, long before tumblr ever hijacked it. You'd see it on CD covers and music artists would style themselves with it, and occasionally it'd show up in fashion. Was anyone else like that and wanting to experiment with something akin to the style, and now feel like they can't get near it?

>>64472I think the photo in your post is supposed to be seapunk? If you search "seapunk" on Google images, you get similar things. The Wikipedia page for seapunk mentions celebrities wore this aesthetic before. It also mentions it originally came from Tumblr.
The other style you are talking about (platform shoes, galaxy prints, etc.) the closest I can think of to it is 2011/2012 nu grunge, which is like a hipster trendy version of the 90's grunge style. I remember lots of people on Lookbook.nu dressing like that. A lot of those girls had blogs too.

At first she was psychologically dependent on Griffith, she was obsessed, just wanted to please him and was always salty with Guts because "he was taking Griffith away from her". Then she started having better taste and choosed Guts as a love interest instead (but was still really attached to Griffith), Guts had to rescue her multiple times for the silliest reasons (standing on the top of a cliff ready to jump because "so tired"? Wat)… Now that I remember that, she was so annoying

I HATE TUMBLR SO MUCH but a lot of my friends use it so Id like to clear some things up. I am genderfluid, I learned that term from youtube and google, and I REALLY hate all the association with tumblr and that word. Secondly, if youre just there for the porn and gore, and block all the hate blogs, it's not bad. My friends dont share all those stupid fucking tumblr opinions (Bernie Sanders, POC and fat everything, I have no fucking clue what queer-baiting is, uwu, social justice makes us laugh, classic memes are v nice, and our favourite shit is a as "problematic" as possible), and Id just like to say Tumble tries to act accepting, but as soon as you say youre genderfluid, or even that you ship this one thing, youll get hate, death threats, and literal children telling you what's right and wrong.

i'm not sure how to describe it, but a lot of the communities/fandoms i was involved in consisted of whateversexual/kin 'uwu' sjw snowflakes who loved to brag about being suicidal and always threatened to kill themselves when no one paid attention to them. it's not that they were glamorizing mental health issues and depression, but rather they just took it too lightly.
my mother was clinically depressed and had bipolar disorder and it took us years to figure it out, because she did NOT want people to know. but then tumblr flakes with the same disorders brag about how fucked up they are and how much they want to die? it makes no sense.
there was a seriously unhealthy group of people i associated with and being around them made me feel like shit, but they'd find a way to guilt you into sticking around. i made sure to avoid readmores like the plague.
i've been unlearning that attitude since i deleted my blog and cut them all off because tumblr also made me into an obnoxious sjw brat and i look back at the 5 years i spent on that site and cringe.

I highly doubt people who create or consume undertale porn are neighborhood pedophiles.

tons of cleavage is showing
makeup, long hair, tons of bows or sparkles

>>100426>>100441I feel you. Thank god my favourite slash fodder series ended in 2012 so they didn't rape it with trans!mentally ill!gendersexual!queer!AUs as much, and you can still eke out some relatively fresh content every now and again.
But fucking hell even in 2012 I had friends who were full on SJW fangirls of the show and would still manage to find fics where the main character is a magical intersex creature or something.

>>100443I think the fanfic writers who almost always write these kind of things are actually a very vocal minority when I think about it. Like I said, sorting fanfics by kudos/likes or comments makes it easier to find fics that are well written with character that don't act too OOC and without all the SJW bullshit. I don't think writing characters as trans is SJW by itself, but the way it's often done makes it look like mostly SJWs writes them. Even in kink memes, from what I've seen, requests about making cis characters trans for no specific reason and weird SJWs shits are mostly ignored. So there will always be good fanfics I think.
Even in kink memes, where you can request sfw fics, I've seen someone complain about how one request was about a character who is a minor even though the request was completely safe for work and it was a fic to give more background to the character and nothing else. A bunch of anons told her to shut up and gtfo because she was a newbie and it was obvious that all types of stories could be requested as long as it wasn't illegal. Honestly, I could go on about how tumblr ruins fandoms all the time by trying to police artists and writers among other things.

>>100426Agree, I just want to read some nice slash like in the old days, not your melodramatical projection on body issues and one sided binder erorica.
I remember my first encounter with "trans!character" was when I was searching for dangan ronpa fanfics some years back. I started reading not minding the tags and then, before I know it the characters are spewing some mechanical sounding "eugh cis people are gross" noncense for 5 lines straight and basically something that said "even boys are best at being girls that girls" at the end I was so fucking confused.

>>112319I have short bangs and dress vintagey/pinup and it works well. I don't think short bangs really work unless you do some sort of vintage fashion. Even cute 80's (think Nancy from Stranger Things) fashion works with short bangs imo.
Do what you want, I think mine make me face look less round and more defined.

Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but Tumblr's Voltron fandom ruined the show for me. With all the shipping drama (shipping Shiro = pedophilia apparently) and their insistence that Pidge is "so totally trans!!11", I've been turned off from the show. I was so hyped for season two back in summer, but now I don't even want to bother. Pic related.
No. 180756
>>180698I only know the 80s cartoon. But it looks like the newer one has a really toxic fandom. I had heard it was canon that Pidge was a girl in this version. Is that true or is that people from tumblr just making stuff up?
Tumblr also had a bitchfit over that new M. Night Shyamalan film, Split. As you can guess it's mostly self diagnosed DID kids.
When I am uncomfortable with a work of fiction I just avoid it. I don't understand why tumblrinas can't just go that route and respect that a writer or artist has the right to explore their own creativity any way they want. I'm sure if you told the tumblrinas that they couldn't draw fat, hairy legged, big red nosed, vitiligo suffering versions of normal looking characters they'd have a meltdown.
I wonder how they feel about documentaries and serious dramas concerning pedophilia and abuse. Sometimes these subjects need exposure to raise awareness. You can't just ignore and condemn all the time. That doesn't make things go away.

>>180845Nabokov.
I'm not really a Tumblr person and none of my friends likes it either, so tbh I've never spent a long time around it, but just from browsing lolcow I feel embarrassed just to think about Lolita and Nabokov. He's one of my favorite authors and that's one of my favorite books for over 10 years. Now I feel like people will judge me for liking the book or the author, and that I romanticize abuse somehow. It makes me feel bad and angry, all at once

I also forgot to mention that they pretty much ruined school shooters stories, lmao. I like reading about famous crimes and now there's a ton of cases I can't read about or watch anymore without thinking about fucking tumblr and girls who romanticize teenage mass murderers

Child rape isn't cute but you can't tell these women that without them acting like you're harassing them. Like okay bitch enjoy your pedophilia worship I'll just leave you and the rest of the less-than-forty-IQ club to rub one out over molesting girls

Bands and music, in general.
I'd really love to look up stuff about my favorite bands, but as usual, Tumblr turns everything into a fandom, yaoi shit, or tries to make shit too PC.
God, I just want to read stuff about Ghost without Tumblr writing gay fanfic about the band members or giving them all dumb as fuck nicknames like "smol".

>>180903this. the tumblr ghost fandom is so creepy, i remember reading a text post about how someone was sad they knew who cowbell ghoul was under the mask because they couldn't imagine them having sex anymore.
i would delete tumblr entirely if it wasn't for the fact that the Ghost subreddit moves at a snail's pace and there's not an official fan club or forums.

Welcome to Night Vale and all those Rip-off Hipster Horror Podcasts. Like you think SU as a fandom was bad? WTNV was pretty much that fandom that was never called out. Not even once.
No. 180993
>>180937This. I also feel like Tumblr influenced Nightvale as it went on too. In the beginning, Cecil(?) had a deeper, more monotone voice and his attitude about the weird and strange was normal.
Now his voice is higher pitched, he's perky, gushes too much about the scientist, and now finds the strange thinges in this town as weird.
Not to mention the additional voice actors get annoying because half of them can't act. (Tamika Flynn being my biggest peeve. Shes supposed to be a young teen but sounds like a 30 yr old) It's fine of you get one or two voices once in a while because the appeal for me was Cecil being the only voice we heard and played as them.
I feel that the tumblr fandom influenced these changes in the show as it went from creepy and neutral to flamboyant and cheerful. Nightvale died after the Strex Corp incident ended.
No. 180995
>>180993Well, it wouldn't be the first time Tumblr has influenced one good stuff. Case in point, Supernatural and Once Upon A Time.
Both started out as pretty decent shows and now seem to just pander to whatever their Tumblr fandom wants. Especially Supernatural.

>>181086I stopped watching right around season 5 because it felt like the writers had started pandering too much to SJW/fanfic shit. A lot of people felt there was some sort of lesbian thing going on between Emma and Regina and it felt like they kind of played that up a little. They also started introducing some gay characters, which is fine to do, but not when it felt like they were shoving it in your face for the sake of being "progressive". It didn't feel natural and organic. I also felt like the whole Frozen schtick was kind of pandering/milking the Frozen train and really lessened the overall plot of the show.
Pic related, feels like LGBT pandering between Dorothy and Ruby

In my case though, it's because I feel like a freak who was never a woman but will never be a
real man either. I'm what you might call a "middle of the road" person when it comes to gender, but the brain constantly screams that the body should have been male anyay.
Dunno if that makes any sense or not, but it's my two cents.

Listen anon, I think you need to forget about this person and move on already, drinking poison and expecting the other person to die isn't gonna help you in any way. You need to chill and think about what you want to do with your life, clearly we dont know what really went on here in regards of your relationship, but you're pretty much acting on anger atm, so let it go fam, they sound like a piece of shit for leaving you for something so petty but you do need to work on yourself as well, chill and wish them the best because that's what someone mature does, so grow up anon.
