I'm really hoping the james somerton vid pointing this out has caused a lot of fakebois to realize how openly misogynistic they were being, even if they still pretend to be moids the least they could do is not also hate women.

whats your opinion on stuff like pic rel? or anything related to heavily changing a character to adhere to headcanon ideals. Personally, i don't mind, but i hate the ones that parade their headcanons as if they were the only correct and allowed ones, even if they are STILL just headcanons. For example, the latest TMNT movie gave the characters black VAs, so now you cant do TMNT gijinkas unless they are ''black'', even though they have been depicted asian, white and black before.

It's the same old story that has been happening since forever in which a group of online friends consider their headcanon more important than whatever is happening in the canon of the stories.
At this point I don't care, I just give some likes and comments to those artists that get closer to what I think makes more sense than whatever gendercult shit that's online, I actually tend to block whoever has pronouns on bio, idiotic tranny flags and any other dumbass bullshit like made up sexualities and labels.

Not really an issue. I'm not a fan of super OOC stuff myself but as long as people acknowledge their headcanons are headcanons then it's fine. It only gets annoying when people act like they're delusions are canon and shit on others who don't agree with/dislike what they're saying. And regarding picrel specifically the art on the right is probably more accurate to Stan's character than the left considering his whole depressed whiny alcoholic phase kek.
>For example, the latest TMNT movie gave the characters black VAs, so now you cant do TMNT gijinkas unless they are ''black'', even though they have been depicted asian, white and black before.
I've always found this dumb because there's no logical rationale for why one adaption has to take more importance over others besides that one has better LGBT black indigenous woc representation or whatever. They do this with PJO too, claiming anyone who doesn't draw Annabelle as black is racist even though she's white in the books.

There's one character in my fandom who's depicted a certain way due to a really popular artist's art/headcanon (with darker skin than depicted) and people lambast you if you don't basically follow it to a tee when drawing the character, it's kinda sad.

I absolutely think this phenomenon happens a lot, though the example character being used being a South Park guy makes me lol

No. 1800767

>>1800750
I don't mind until the headcanons start becoming the "canon." Fandom becomes insufferable when people aren't able to seperate their delusions from reality. Just dealt with this in one of my fandoms where two characters ended up forming a pact while the other was intoxicated. Fandom retard proceeds to make an essay long Tumblr post misinterpreting entire canon events and why character a was "raped" and how character b is a "rapist," how if the other characters knew, they'd try to kill them (no they wouldn't) and how character a is probably traumatized despite them showing in canon that they had no issue with the formation of the pact and actually consider the character their friend. Plus, the canon event was based off an actual religious based story where said character tricks the other into a pact through intoxication, so the fact people got upset over something they failed to do research on annoyed me even more.

You have got to elaborate on this bc I'm really not following how "making a pact" turned into "rape"

No. 1800775

>>1800769
Neither do I, but apparently the shitstorm concerning this issue was because of character a basically stating that after blacking out, they don't recall what happened after. They just know that when they woke up, they were in a pact. Pacts are basically like selling your free will away and allowing the pact holder complete control over you. For some reason, the fandom equated this to them being raped. Yet nothing in canon suggests or even implies that's what happens, yet people took it there. I remember another commenter being called a "rape apologist" for disagreeing and a lot of people using their trauma as examples and "listening to rape victims." It was kind of a mess.

i like it. I have always preferred fanart that interpret the characters differently and in different styles. While it's super impressive when people can copy a cartoon's original style it would be boring if all fanart looked like that.
I also don't mind racebending or making characters fatter, or changing a characters hair color/eye color/hair length etc. basically anything that changes a characters appearance. But I hate when the artist claims that their headcanon is the superior version. Making changes, like racebending can be interesting picrel is a good example. The artist Wooh Nayoung have some cool art where she reimagines european stories in a korean setting. you can tell when an artist changes a character because they genuinely wanna explore how a reinterpretation affects the story, and when an artist changes a character just so they appear more progressive and woke.
>the latest TMNT movie gave the characters black VAs, so now you cant do TMNT gijinkas unless they are ''black''
this often happens in fandom where the characters don't have canon races. It's the worse.
Similarly I hate when people treat Word of God as canon. A writer will tweet "this character is gay" five years after a show has ended even though nothing in the show indicated that, and suddenly shipping him with a woman is homophobic.
>>1800753
me too. I don't care much about south park but i follow some westaboo artists who likes it. At first I found their South Park fanart a bit jarring because it was "angsty" compared to the actual cartoon. But it has grown on me. Same thing with the Hetalia fandom. Both fandoms have gorgeous fanart

I don't mind it as long as it doesn't "replace" the canon design. Sometimes I wonder why people who deviate from the source so hard don't make an OC at this point. When it comes to headcanons for humanized versions of non-human characters, I decided I'll never draw human versions for that reason. It goes into "damned if you do, damned if you don't" territory on what race/culture you draw them as. I used to have a SJW mutual who was eaten by her own over My Little Pony humanizations.

I've seen people also headcanon her as Asian or Indian, but a lot of the same people who decided she has to be XYZ race were also mad that Equestria Girls made them aracial by giving them purple/blue/green/etc. skin. Which was the safest move on Hasbro's end, I noticed both the female/SJW side of the fandom would crucify anyone who didn't make everyone tri-racial, have vitiligo, trans, and disabled, but meanwhile the male/brony side would lose their mind if any character besides Zecora was drawn with dark skin.

It was for drawing human Pinkie Pie as white wasn't it?
>>1800950
Bronie's had such boring human designs, picrel being the best example of that, the only difference between characters is just boob size and sometimes a tan. Bronie's only exposure to something with an all female cast is CGDCT anime where the only difference is hairstyles and boob size and it really shows. If the show was about humans instead of ponies they'd be diverse like most girl's media with an all female cast. Look at Lauren Faust's Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls for example.

i think people should be allowed to depict gijinkas as generic. It's so annoying when artists are forced to make the characters different size/color just for the sake of inclusivity. I know that when i draw gijinkas of male characters i want to draw them as cute bishies and not fat uggos lol.

Picrel is obviously South Park and I think it's cute when it's Japanese/Korean artists doing it. They seem to actually watch the show and understand what the characters' personalities are like and base their designs on that. They also make very cute in-character art and in general Japanese westaboos make better art than Western anime fans.

Meanwhile the Western equivalent of that tends to be ugly character designs and making a character into some type of minority.

The example I'm most familiar with is Dick Grayson/Nightwing. In most canon portrayals, he's depicted as a sarcastic, snarky pretty boy, but he can be serious and competent when he needs to be. In fandom, he's turned into a big-bottomed, overly feminine gay moid who is always depicted as super dark-skinned (see >>1798112) and is designated as the uke in most pairings.

The discourse is only coming back around because Genshin has a region that's based around Africa. I genuinely feel like the developers don't know what they're doing though because they've decided to combine the entirety of a continent, but then also claim it's based on Spain and Native America as well. This is like 60 different cultures all combined into a single nation. They should've just never claimed to be inspired by real-life nations and just loosely based their designs on it instead.

I know this isn't the popular opinion here, but I don't see the issue in diversifying your characters.

This is something I noticed in a lot of my fandoms that have issues with things like racism/colorism/sexism/etc. I'm personally critical of those things too, but I still stick with the series because I think they have good aspects too. But so many "fans" hate the source material but refuse to play something more "progressive" in their view. Why can't they just buy some "queer BIPOC" RPG on Itchio or make a DND game loosely based off the setting with their mutuals instead of playing a gacha that's only there to pander to coomers and make money?

>>1801670
I agree with you, but the issues is a lot of modern media thinks one dimension soapbox characters is actual diversity instead of having characters from different cultures be just as cool and interesting as the "default" white characters too. SJWs accidentally end up being just as racist as conservatives sometimes, because they don't see non-white people as people. They're just argument points or a checklist of traits.

Anybody here who grew up on the internet, in fandoms since they could access a computer, chronically online for the majority of their life who one day just quit it all? How did your life look like afterwards? How does it look like now?

Anonymous imageboards are obviously a separate thing, as you cannot cultivate any kind of online "identity" and participate truly in a community, but I'm curious to hear of nonas for whom the endless, spiraling discourse and drama pit of twitter/tumblr was too much and who have effectively become "normies". Though I guess they wouldn't be in this thread.

I know oldfags are all starting to look back at early 2010s-era tumblr culture fondly, especially in light of the current state of fandom discourse over 10 years late (abysmal), but whoever remembers Chihiro gender discourse knows it wasn't all sunshine and roses back then either. In a way fandom dynamics are always the same, only the outside cover changes.

Fandom culture in itself promotes some kind of arrested development in my opinion, yet one can't deny how much fun it is. It begs the question then if quitting is worth it, or will millennials and zoomers spend the rest of their days on earth participating in a fandom?

Honestly, I stopped engaging in fandom. I lurk from time to time, but I will never actively participate in a fandom space again. I used to be a fairly popular headcanon/short fic writer in my fandom, yet it felt like people didn't care about the effort or research I put into it, just that I kept spitting out entertainment. Eventually I got tired of it and moved all my stuff to A03 where I don't have to interact with anyone and just write for myself. It's been much more peaceful and I feel a lot better with myself sense then.

Also, your post reminds me of the video Kurzgesagt did regarding social media and brought up a good point about the Internet pre social media. Back then, the only way you'd come across a certain topic or interest is if you actively searched for it, otherwise there was no one website where anything and everything could be viewed or shared. Everyone had their own, seperate communities and those communities had rules. If someone wanted to integrate and be accepted, they either had to follow the established guidelines or be banned. Yet the good thing is, everyone had their own little niche spaces and rarely did anyone interfere with each other unless they were trolls purposely trying to stir things up. Now everyone and anything is kind of mingled together and while that can have its upsides, the downside is that you're being confronted with too many things at once without input or control, something our "stupid brains," as the video states, can't handle. I think this video sums up some of the issues we see in fandom spaces, being that people keep trying to force themselves into certain communities that don't suit them. Instead of creating a space for themselves and others like them, they'd rather change it to fit their views and if they can't, ruin it for everyone else by derailing, trolling, misuing tags etc. I think most anons wouldn't give a shit about yuri, yaoi, het, race bending, etc. if we all weren't forced to see or be a part of it or made to feel like shit for not supporting it.

I've been on the internet since 2001-ish and I'll tell you fandoms were different. There was much more gatekeeping, and you could really only get into certain communities if you got approved/knew wtf you were talking about. You couldnt just read a wiki and join a fandom. Now a days everyone is so accepting and the internet is super mainstream. There's always been retards online, but I think for the most part, actual people who enjoyed fandom were online a lot and found others like them.
The internet started to get worse around 2012/2013 when the next gen got online and now suddenly everyone is political, about diversity no matter where you go. I basically learned a new language to get away from western politics. I seriously miss when fandoms were actual fandoms and not whatever twt/tik tok has turned so many into.

Arguments like this never make much sense to me. Asians do not all look the same. The skin color argument still applies to China/Asia regardless of US input. There are different ethnic groups which live in China and have on average darker skin and do not look like the majority Han population—and even among the Han, there are people with all sorts of skin tones, especially in the south of China where there are a lot of darker people.

But the people we see complaining about this kind of thing in the english-speaking side of the internet are westerners and/or people who might not be from the USA but are still extremelly americanized. Speaking in general cause I don't play genshin and don't keep up with its fandom, these discussions go in a very USA centric way, they expect diversity to fit their local idea of diversity. I doubt they would be satisfied with a chinese work that represents all the different kinds of chinese people, they are more the kind to do something silly like presuming a dark skinned anime character is meant to be black (or coded) even if they are just a tanned japanese or something.

I get that, but Genshin is (presumably, I don't play it either) a game translated to English and evidently distributed to an international audience. The company behind it knows that—how could they not?—and that their market is international. I don't see it as an unreasonable demand to request that they tailor certain elements of the game to Western audiences, just like how Disney and other companies that have expanded internationally tailor their media to Chinese audiences—and like I said, there are dark-skinned people in China and throughout Asia, so it wouldn't be a solely US/Western decision.
>I doubt they would be satisfied with a chinese work that represents all the different kinds of chinese people
You're making up people to be offended by. Sure, maybe a few ignorant Westerners would complain, but most lefties wouldn't get upset if a Chinese game decides to throw in a few Tibetan or Uyghur characters, if their ethnicity is explicitly mentioned at all.
>>1801968
It's not that "POC" are not offended by it or whatever, but in many collectivist cultures it's considered rude to stir the pot by calling attention to negative parts of society. There are people in China who are aware of issues with colorism and body shaming, but it's generally seen as a better thing to not make much noise.

Tbf the argument is just that Dislyte is also chinese and has different skintones in general, while hoyoverse has literally no variety.

It also has awfully boring gameplay and an uninteresting story that doesn't expand much on the characters and that's why no one plays it. I tried it on release and I really can't remember any of it.

Each region is inspired by different cultures so not all of them, only Liyue (China) and Inazuma (Japan) are East Asian based. A lot of the skin color discourse got revived because of the Sumeru region which is some mix of "stereotypical" South Asian/Middle Eastern cultures. People expected more dark-skinned characters from Sumeru because of that which I think is fair, only two of them (Dehya and Cyno) were tan at best.

I don't think wanting to see characters of different races (or even just with different skin tones) qualifies as being political. Like yes, it's retarded to seethe over gachashit not being ""diverse"" in order to virtue signal on Twitter, but for me and lots of normal people it has nothing to do with politics at all. It's just more pleasing to look at when all of your characters have different physical attributes instead of being identical pale waifublobs. I don't think having a majority or exclusively lily white cast of characters is necessarily racist or colorist or whatever, it's just boring as fuck. Especially in a fantasy setting like Genshin.

What i hate about this whole concept of "sexualizing minors" in things like this is that it's like they think the audience is 40+ year old creeps that fetishizes the fact that they are school boys or something.
We can have our fictional crushes and a bit of fanservice doesn't kill anyone and i don't know how to explain it but fanservice aimed at female audience is always less creepy than one aimed at old men anyway, and most of the characters look ambiguous enough that you can see them as young adults and not literal children.
In the end it's a mobile game so of course they want to make sure they show characters in ways the players will get attached to them.

What makes it funny is that the artist of the game is definetly shota inclined and into feet. There are several cards that have a concerning focus on feet, and normally its the cuter ''shota'' characters, kek. It's retarded to complain about pic rel being too lewd when you are playing a gacha shit made in Japan. If you are too weak for otaku culture then you shouldnt play games made for that target audience. Even female otakus in Japan dont want to meme themselves into lusting after 30yo+ balding moid hags like westoids, and end up normally husbandoing ''teen'' characters.

I never stayed mutuals with a lot of people despite being chronically online so I gave up on my twitter account in 2020 a few weeks before the pandemic when I moved to another country and remade it from scratch only to follow a few artists I like in late 2020 because I was really bored at the shitty job I managed to get. I should have done that earlier instead of trying to befriend people who seemed fun at first and who turned into annoying SJWs once I befriended them. I like being anonymous a lot more, and looking back, the reason why I was so online all the time really was because of poverty preventing me from having hobbies that weren't weeb stuff and my parents were crazy and religious and prevented me from being a normal teenager girls with a normal social life so all I could do until university was go to school, go back home asap and keep myself busy at home. I don't feel like arguing over fictional bs and I never did, but now I have even less patience and free time for that. During summer break back then I would stay home and scroll down on tumblr, or my parents would drag all of us in their shithole home country in the middle of ramadan so my sisters and I had nothing to do but spend the whole month at a cybercafe to kill time, now I have enough money to travel and do whatever I want.

Speaking of troons ruining stuff, Magdalene Visaggio(the troon pitched the idea of turning superboy into a trans-girl). is starting beef with established comic writer Mark Miller, claiming that one of Miller's series ripped off the Visaggio's comic, Kim and Kim, which is about two punk rock space bounty hunters one of whom is trans. Despite how bullshit the claim might be, most of fandom twitter is on the side of Visaggio, because SHE's a poor marginalized autistic transwoman

I grew up on the internet but I never spent any real time interacting in fandom spaces, it just wasn't something I did. I always sat on the sidelines enjoying things by myself and avoiding the western fandom for the most part because I thought it was full of shit most of the time (and that when I did like members of a fandom, it tended to be on imageboards, lol), so other than noticing things becoming even more shit it hasn't really affected me, looking back I do wish I could've participated and made friends, but oh well.

Even the sexist men from the past understood what a healthy male physique looked like, and women always knew what a genuinely attractive man looked like.

It's already happening, in FF16 there's a whole country of people who are tanned, living in a desert close to a beautiful oasis with palmtrees, the buildings and decorations makes the cities you can visit look like Morocco or what I remember from my last visit and the clothes of the characters there look vaguely Middle Eastern or South Indian and yet. A lot of people and especially game journalists were complaining that the game has only white people, that the game and the devs are racist, that the characters aren't dark skinned enough to be black so they're automatically white with a tan, and game journalists were obviously using this as a pretext to shit on yet another JRPG. I've seen Americans online saying that North Africans are either Arabs (not wrong if we're talking about the dominant culture I guess but otherwise no we're not), white invaders who chased out the original population or white people mixed with the original black population (many of us look mixed I guess?). Don't get me started on Ancient Egypt. I'm going to assume that they think all former colonies were like the American continent where plenty of genocides happened a few century ago and the populations got more or less replaced because that's what they're familiar with but that's not the case everywhere.

nta but as someone who really enjoyed the original book, I cannot stand the show or the revival it caused for the fandom. I was never into Good Omens in a fandom-y way tbh, but it was popular enough on tumblr that I'd just come across its fans every now and then and it was mostly just cosy slash shipping, from the look of it (plus because there wasn't an actor to go off of, the characters were depicted more appealingly on average, if still a bit frumpy if it suited their character more). Now every time I chance across it it's weird gendie shit and drawn fugly as hell.

Seems to be the way of any older fandom that gets a rush of new blood at the moment. Doesn't help that people don't stay put in fandoms for very long now compared to how it was like just 5 years ago, so people migrate from fandom to fandom, dragging shit from their prior headcanon/fanon cultures and the most enduring fandom behaviours with them.

There's actually discourse on Reddit because gale got shifted on so fast. But his cutscenes would literally be like hey , I want to show you something. Then when you enter the woods, he'll have astral sex with you out of the blue. It was really weird and people would be nice to gale and he would try to romance you. There's actually even an opportunity where gale and asterion will fight for you in a love triangle. And gale also low-key threatens suicide if you chose asterion

I think a lot of people sympathize with Gale because of his back story but he just looks like a gay obi wan kenobi

Wyll, IMHO, is one of the worst developed characters because they changed his story a lot during the beta. Halsin has a similar problem but if I remember correctly, he wasn't originally romanceable.

There's speculations that Halsin replaced an older female dwarf love interest because her info is in the files. But I'm not sure of it's validity.

As a SW fan, I am dying laughing. I chose Lae'zel in my story, and did the astaral projection thing. Gale started to get pissed when I was doing shit with Lae'zel and I had no idea why. People kept telling me his game was glitched and he'll hit on you no matter what, or even being nice to him just one time.

Just left social media for a few months, but my case was also pretty minor. Looking back I can say that I should've ignored it, but I'm not used to the kind of extreme negative attention I was getting so I freaked out for days and deleted my account a while later because I didn't want to be around so many miserable and genuinely mean people. It was on twitter and it showed me that it's never a fun or safe space for posting because any terminally online freak can stumble over your stuff, misunderstand or twist something and make a mean-spirited qrt pretending to care about whatever issue they made up. Now it's not your post anymore, it's a detached topic of discussion and it only depends on luck wether it'll be seen by 20 or 2000 people and wether those are willing to think with their own brains.

Never have before but teens attempted to cancel one of my friends multiple times. She's still a fairly popular account in that fandom because she doesn't give them a time of her day. The best thing to do is simply ignore those people and/or block them. Cultivating your following is also an important aspect, if you surround yourself with constant virtue-signalling SJWs then you're going to be walking on eggshells for the rest of your life. It's one of the reasons why anime dudebros get away with a lot things their female counterparts don't; it's because their following is primarily made up of apolitical nerds like them so their fanbase obviously won't care about petty woke shit.

I hate how in almost every female-heavy space you're expected to be an activist and speak up for each and every social cause that shows up on your timeline. Men don't care if you're a moderate/centrist but a lot of women in fandom will twist disinterest into literal discrimination/violence/whatever. If you want to post political shit then do that, I just hate how in female spaces you're basically not allowed to only post about your interests/fandom. Men are lucky when it comes to this type of leniency because if you're not a radical turboleftist in fandom TIFs come out of the woodworks berating you.

Didn't get cancelled with a public post but by a group of mutuals in a small fandom who went around everyone's DMs spreading shit about me. It was some kind of last straw situation for me in retrospect because I was so tired of constantly having to participate in their idpol drama addiction and shittalking about everyone else in our small fandom (and each other bending their backs). I just quit SM and it's honestly been freeing for me, I can enjoy things and make art for myself again which I haven't done since before I had a computer. It's a strange feeling not having to "perform" and "participate" actively on SM. I'm lucky I don't make a living out of it and didn't get a public callout post but if you really need to be on social media nonnie the best thing is really just to ignore.

I know this a super late reply, but Lily Orchard(real name Jerry Peet) is such a misogynistic pervert. I remember years back when he started a hate campaign against this female author, Christie Golden. She wrote some tie-in books for video game series, including Assassin's Creed and World of Warcraft, and was living her best life, writing her own vampire romance novels as well. Apparently, this man (who claims to be a feminist lesbian woman) didn't like how the female characters got married in the end. It just didn't make sense to him why the badass female characters didn't continue their adventures indefinitely. He accused her of being a racist (because she got facts about some Arab and warcraft fantasy culture wrong), of being a misogynist (again, for allegedly not handling her female characters well), a pedophile, and a fetishizer (for having a 20-year-old male character fall in love with a middle-aged female character), among other moronic claims. She had to turn off her account for a few months, and the accounts where he made these claims have been deleted. He has a history of basically scrubbing away his offensive and controversial claims (like his pedophile MLP fan-fiction), but I remember when it happened.

A few times, one on tumblr for Terf crimes and twice over Twitter for Terf again and "proshipping" (aka I just ignore and/or block what I don't want to see instead of arguing).

For Tumblr, I just ignored and continued posting normally, most people don't care about callouts and actually very few people blocked me and I remained friends with most of my mutuals. No one remembers now
Over Twitter, the callout happened last year on my gimmick account that kind of doubled as personal, I locked and ignored people because adding more fire is always wrong in these cases, but Twitter being Twitter the accusations snowballed since I said nothing and people never fact check, so I got tired of getting rape threats from men daily and simply left that account and made a new one under a different name. To this day people still speak badly of me but somehow no one has noticed I'm the account they callout'ed despite it being blandtanly obvious kek.
The proshipping callout was on my new account, but that's so stupid I don't care, most of them are noisy kids. I would say callouts are only important if you share too much of your personal life online or if it's linked to your bussiness account, very few callouts end up being taken seriously enough to dox you.

On Discord (maybe this isn't SM?) where I used to post art and chat I'd be excluded from the rest of the friend group either because I was a radfem or neonazi for not coddling the 30 y/o gay demisexual furry moids drawing fat moths in the chat.

I hold everyone accountable sheer retarded displayed in statements like picrel. I blame "dark fantasy enjoyers", I blame fujos, and I blame wokeoids. Let's start with the fact that men cannot, by any means, become pregnant (a shocking revelation, I know). The ability to conceive is inherently tied to the female gender, and any fictional work that portrays men experiencing pregnancy is simply not depicting men getting pregnant.
So I hold "dark-fiction enjoyers" who have taken one of the most challenging experiences women face into mere kink. I also blame fujos who deny reality by applying female biological traits to males, pretending that it can somehow occur in the male anatomy. And I hold wokies accountable, who further deny reality by asserting absurd claims such as men being able to get pregnant.

This is going to be blogposty, and I apologize for that.
I used to run in very very sjw circles on Twitter. I had undiagnosed autism/adhd and would fight with my friends all the time. One day, they decided to compile a Google doc consisting of dozens of pages of me being "abusive" (i.e having an autistic melt down).

I ended up saying sorry I was a dick, then quit the Internet for a while. I came back recently and everyone is acting like they were not part of my dogpiling + they still gush over my art kek.

Tbh, I probably would've resented everyone and my ex friends. but truthfully, me quitting and touching grass, made me realize how stupid I was, how silly my friends were, etc. I used to be trans too back then but then I realized I was just a depressed lesbian lol.

Anyways, I don't really run into my old circles anymore. I'm involved in a different community who are a lot more kinder and less unhinged. Sometimes, I see people who spoke badly of me and never apologized, and I just block or ignore.

These TIMs have a disproportionate and devastating impact on fandom culture. They will find a tinge of semi-legitimate criticism and then use it to justify blatant fetishism and obvious misogyny. An example I personally witnessed when I was more involved in fandom culture was with the character Hunter in the Owl House. My god, did every troon on twitter in the fandom hate Hunter? They despised him because, in this mostly female cast, he was the sole male character and was extremely popular with the teenage girl audience that the show was intended for. He was shipped with most other characters and even self-inserts. Now, I do think there were some issues with Hunter's writing towards the end, but the Twitter troons didn't care about that. They hated that he was supposedly ruining their queer lesbian fantasy. So, they claimed that the showrunner, Dana Terrace, was racist and sexist for centering the story around a white male character (worth noting that he was an elf boy voiced by a black man). Even then, the main female characters still remained the main focus; Hunter just had some B-plot episodes.
The point is that these TIM often get their way more frequently than not, since they are considered the most "oppressed group." Anything can be justified by them, even though these men are very obvious blatant misogynistic porn addicted Incels.

Is the fact he wrote pedo MLP fanfiction and tries to bury his tracks over it not enough? The brony fandom is full of pedphiles left and right, I obviously don't support that groomer but I didn't find this info from him.

I didn’t know about the fanfiction or at least what the actual content is, as I said all I was able to find was rumors that didn’t seem very credible to me since they were coming from the fans and friends of an actual real life pedo.

It just felt too in your face, I say this while coming off of a DMC fixation, so my friends thought I would be head over heels over him and buy the game but I stood my ground and insisted he looks ugly af.

This is the worst thing. liberals think extreme inclusiveness and sex with anything is what progression is when it's actually the opposite. All I ever hear from BG3 fags are about how you can fuck anyone, and even some relationships let you be 'polycule, uwu.'

none of the new overwatch characters suit the older designs, especially low effort female characters like kiriko and illari. they are too fantasy driven, without any regard to the abilities and lore of other characters/the world, and no attempt at interesting personalities. lifeweaver suffers from this as well,

One thing that's great about liking characters that are robots, whether because you find them attractive or just neat, is that complex mechanical designs often filter out artists who make stuff like that frumpy enstars scribble. It's not foolproof and you still witness some similar garbage, but god is it jarring to go back to looking up fan content of regular human characters again (especially if from something popular/new).

Nostalgia over anime aired in the 80s-00s is something I noticed picking up, especially if those series had fandoms back then. I see people getting into Ranma 1/2 just so they call Ranma a valid translesbian egg and headcanon other characters as queer/trans. There was a genre of Ranma 1/2 fanfic in the 90s where Ranma was happier as his female form and stayed that way, but it was a niche.

nta but this is an account that got popular really fast for drawing the 'Real Jesus' cause of the whole gaza-situation, Initially, it was poorly re-creating classic Christian drawings, but with Jesus depicted as dark-brown-skinned (because that's apparently what all people in the Middle East look like). However, it quickly evolved into a moral preaching of a dark-brown Jesus, Of course, since the author is a brain-rotten twitter artist, she also draws Jesus Yaoi as well.

nta but while there are 12 years between 5 and 8 in the story and I did expect chris to look a bit older, they really busted him in village. I think it looks like the same person, but they made him too old. It's extra dumb when you see the discarded Ada's concept for it and they made her look the same as the previous games. Capcom will age their men like milk but the women are magically beautiful forever, because women need to look young and attractive at all times. It's the double standards that really gets to me. I know anons itt get offended by characters not being super attractive or looking older than 20s, but I don't personally care. I like when there is a bit of everything. What I really hate is when men look busted and old and the women look like plastic dolls at all times. Either pull a final fantasy and make everyone into some unrealistic anime or stop being a coward and learn to age the women in your game too. They will create the most autistic plots to justify a female character not aging just to avoid "spoiling" the female character to the audience, while male character will age twice as fast and moids will cream themselves over the balding muscled guy like kratos.

Like I can live knowing there's some seriously fucked up porn of my original characters (because what are the chances of even seeing them), but trannies post their art everywhere so there's a large percent chance I'd see it.

Well, first off, you spelled canon like “cannon” so I thought maybe it was a line from somewhere. Secondly, I just think its dumb/funny that twitterfags are putting pride flags on everything no matter what it is. With this specific case it just reminds me of this Instagram post, or like when people make Jesse Pinkman trans. Idk, I’m a nerd with extensive knowledge about the Odyssey so I just thought the concept of Odysseus holding a pride flag was weird, that’s all.

Sperg incoming If he were in the modern day he’d totally be a tough, bigoted misogynistic guy, maybe with the exception of gay men (because he’s friends with Achilles and Patroclus and also because they are men), but I can’t see him pandering to twitterfag types like that. If he were in high school he’d have an awful broccoli haircut and refer to his friends as “the boys” and “the homies”, bark at people in school hallways and sleep around. That’s just my opinion though.

That's one of the greatest strengths of Christianity, the fact that Jesus never had any political or religious power throughout his life. But he was a popular local preacher who spoke in parables. These parables were originally spoken in a dialect of a Semitic language, which was then translated into a popular dialect of Greek, and further translated into ancient Latin and then various other languages. you can create so many interpretations and meanings within Christianity. like you can literally justify almost whatever you want with Christianity, thanks to the versatility of these parables.

Muhammad has the opposite issue. In the narrative of the Quran, he is described as nothing more than an honest tradesman. He is very important and moral in the Quran's narrative, but he is not really an active participant in all that happens. he was 40 years old when he received his first revelation and he was just a tradesman from a regional noble family. Then, in the Hadith's adage, he is stated as the greatest human being who will ever exist. Suddenly, he becomes an excellent wrestler, horse rider, warrior, and he was also super handsome when he was young. Every woman wanted to marry him because he was so handsome. Also his bloodline was suddenly super noble, he was descended from Abraham and all the other important tribes from Arabia, It's honestly just ridiculous, he's basically a Mary Sue OC.

The funny thing about all this characterization of Muhammad is how much it contradicts the Quran's narrative. In the one battle Muhammad had to fight in, he lost after being hit in the face and almost dying, losing 4 teeth (which are considered Holy Relics). He is not a warrior in any sense in the Quran's narrative; he lets other people (mostly Ali) do the fighting for him. However, in the Hadiths, everything changes. He was a warrior fighting in battles since he was a teenager and personally led all the early Muslims in all the battles, directing them to fight against the Persians and Byzantines (even though most records show that fighting between them started a decade after his death).

They always act so smug towards original fans too. I have seen so many of these uber retarded headcanons over mundane shit low iq shows that even a baby could understand, like south park.

anti fujo stamps were mostly used by moids angry their shonenshit DA tags were filled with fujo art. Also, fujos believing narusasu could be canon was not only more innocent but somewhat fundamented in the truth, plus the ones that were 100% convinced it was endgame were normally underage. Nowadays they claim batshit insane stuff that you can easily disprove by reading the manga. Like how they claim every single female chara in chainsaw man is abusive or that the author is totally drawing naked anime girls with an intention that isnt fanservice.

As a fujo, anyone who unironically believed who narusasu could be canon are actually more retarded as current bnhafags who think bakudeku is going to be canon (at least with bakudeku the creator clearly has some weird simping for his childhood bully going on).
Shounenfags are always going to be braindead, that just comes with them being shounenfags.

tbh I'd prefer to see more dumb and cliche theories like coma/afterlife/dream ones over identity/mental illness ones because at least those take the overall narrative into account (even if in a retarded and shallow way, ironically in an attempt to add depth lol). I miss when people talked about the non-relationship/sexual aspects of media or fandom content more, or if they were talking about ships they could discuss the characters in-depth (without wholesale just making shit up, like how so much stuff is all 'headcanon'-based) and why they thought the ship was interesting because of that.

BNHA might not end in Bakugo's and Deku's marriage but the author is really into the thing and constantly draws shipbaiting art of them on his twitter all the time kek. As homosexuality has become more socially accepted authors have been more keen to exploring the idea and give these winks and nudges at the audience, like when Trigger outright said they wanted Promare to be a "boy meets boy" story and Shinkai made the guy in Suzume a chair out of spite because he wasn't allowed to write a lesbian couple. We've also heard many authors admit even years later that they wanted to make character x gay/lesbian but the powers that be told them it wouldn't be possible and some of them even retcon them to their original ideas (while being called evil wokepandering brainworm infected SJWs for it). I'm really glad to see gay and lesbian characters outside strictly gay media and people acting as if it's "offensive" to a character to be headcanoned gay/bi when they're not explicitly stated to be straight should frankly take a chill pill.

>a bunch of the ones I've seen were by other girls.

Yeah, just like today a lot of NLOGs really malding about "yaoi fangirls" had those stamps, it definitely wasn't just scrotes.

I think some creators are being genuine when they admit after the fact that they had intended for a character or couple to be gay but had to change it at the behest of publishers, especially in regards to older works or for certain genres/audiences, or they're clarifying something that was maybe too subtle, but I'll admit I do roll my eyes a bit when it's a very recent work in a circumstance where it would have only received praise to actually include it. That feels like pandering for online brownie points but not wanting (or thinking of, during production) to actually commit in the text.

It's not even diversity, it's being a shitty artist. A lot of artists try to hide their lack of skill by drawing in an overly cartoonish art style and using shape language or whatever they call it because they're not good at making distinctive designs. "Diverse silhouette" my ass, most people's shadows don't differ that much do they? It's the small features that make a difference, the space between the eyes, the placement and shape of the nose, the skin color, the flaws of the body, the beauty marks. "The shadows are diverse, well that's enough for me, I can get away with making the other features the same" is the way they think. If someone is shit at drawing they try to exaggerate features as much as possible, when they're asked to draw people who look similar in appearance that's when you see how diverse they can make it.

I don't really consider it a "power move" because it gives authors a pass to write worthless and unlikable female characters as people will "protect" and defend them either way. Kishimoto himself is the first one to admit that he regretted creating Sakura because he felt like there had to be an obligatory female main but he just didn't know how to make her writing work making every single fan (not just fujos into NaruSasu) hate her for being so useless and annoying during Naruto's peak in the mid 00's to the point producers were begging him to get rid of her. They're not real people, pointing out traces of scrottery in their writing isn't misogyny, authors should be held to a standard and expected to do better.

Online people making these shitty pics fundamentally understand shape language too. They think it's "make character a literal rectangle and make another character a literal circle" while it's supposed to be also about the character's body language and presentation.

I meant in terms of pure spite, it's pretty powerful. Aren't female characters in shounen jump generally known for being badly written though? I've heard the editors literally encourage that form of writing.
>hate her for being so useless and annoying during Naruto's peak in the mid 00's to the point producers were begging him to get rid of her
The funny part is there's a vocal minority of fans who actively defend Sakura and usually fall into one of three categories
>Ships her with Naruto because they're the main girl and boy yet convince themselves that they're somehow really deep for shipping this and deeply hate the chick Naruto marries
>Weird tumblr types who hate both Naruto and Sasuke but demand people love Sakura because 'IT'S NOT HER FAULT SHE'S BADLY WRITTEN AND BAAAW IT'S JUST MISOGYNY YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE HER FOR THAT' as if a character being written misogynistically (which honestly I don't even think is intentional, I just think the Kishimoto genuinely can't write and doesn't know much about women) means that you have to love and accept a shitty character because they're female.
>Sasuke fangirls who self insert as her (I think these were more common in the 2000s though).

I just hate the idea that people aren't allowed to dislike a badly written female character because they're in a cast of mostly men, Jenny Nicholson did a pretty entertaining video about this sort of thing for some Star Wars character that pretty perfectly sums up the whole situation of fandom liking female characters in 99% male stories because…they exist.

Yeah, female characters in Shounen Jump series are horribly written. I don't know if it's an issue with the writers themselves or executives telling them to do so because Kishimoto was genuinely confused over why people hated Sakura so much because he thought he created the perfect female representation by writing an annoying bpd-chan crushing on the hottest guy in the Ninja class. He eventually replaced her scenes with Hinata who was the other extreme, a compliant waifu who had her void of a personality compensated with big tits post timeskip. As for Horikoshi (the author of BNHA) he seems to yuriship Uraraka with Toga now since she was suddenly given a lot more personality than she had when she was just "the nice girl Deku has a crush on" character, he must be kicking himself for being so restricted by the Jump framework.

>I just hate the idea that people aren't allowed to dislike a badly written female character because they're in a cast of mostly men

It's so fucking annoying because often those kind of token female characters are the worst written ones but noooo you can't bring up her lazy writing because we must support an imaginary scrote-written sister that doesn't actually exist.

I dropped BNHA during season 2 but I remember she had a fight with Bakugo where she stood her ground pretty well which is genuinely super rare for female characters in shounen so I liked that, but I've also heard that after that she basically gets written into the typical love interest role which is a shame. It almost sort of makes me wonder if she had an arc that got cut out or something.
>but noooo you can't bring up her lazy writing because we must support an imaginary scrote-written sister that doesn't actually exist.
There was a poll on tumblr that was like 'victims of yaoi' that was meant to be female characters hated by fujos, but some of them weren't even hated by fujos (like the wife from breaking bad was there who I'm pretty sure is mostly hated by moids, I don't think fujos give a shit about breaking bad generally) and characters like Misa and Sakura.

The biggest agents of socialization nowadays are family, school and media. Agents of socialization are people, groups, and social institutions that affect one’s self-concept, attitudes, and behaviors. I don't think much changed about families and schools, but things changed when it came to media, particularly social media.
Back then it was tv and a few websites. It was a passive form of entertainment and it affected children's and teenager's behavior. Teenagers follow the trends their peers engage in, look at TV and want to be like their favorite star. With technology, people can now choose what type of entertainment they witness. They don't just watch what's available, flipping through the channels and deciding this one was good enough. They have exactly what they need, what caters to their interests. Which creates an even stronger yet passive bond.
People also learn about what is important by their peer group and the community around them. That's the secondary social agents. However… In big cities, it's very difficult to develop a personal relationship with other people because there are too many people. Things aren't very personal, you don't know who to trust and due to the modern lifestyle, teenagers don't have many spaces designed for them specifically. Children still have places like playgrounds. Teenagers are more socially susceptible than children. Children rely on family, teenagers rely on peers. Because of the modern lifestyle, teenagers spend more time online. And with the added fact of "choosing whatever I'm interested in", it became even worse. Connection with people was replaced by connections with characters. People want to connect with someone about their interests, not just care about their interests alone. So fandoms are made. Since always teenagers want people who are similar to them, who they can look up to. I think it's healthier for them to change a character to look more like them in personality and appearance, rather than try to imitate a character. However there is an issue. People like "finding themselves" and feeling a sense of community because they feel accepted and because they enjoy learning more about themselves, so when they see a character similar to them they use that as a proxy to identify how they react to situations or they emphasize way too much with them. They're more inclined to change the character's appearance to match theirs more. The issue as I said is that they don't find people they relate to, real people, because of the modern lifestyle. So they stick to fiction instead. I have to say, the people you witness, who are so plentiful as you say, are people who wouldn't be on the internet so much if reality had something to offer them. For someone to anthropomorphize to such a level there must be an issue in their lives that prevents them from truly being present.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with looking at old media and saying, "in today's standards, this character would be considered XYZ" (note that I'm talking about for things that are actually real), but a lot of zoomers can't process the idea of relating to experiences that aren't exactly the same of them.

People still do it, the issue is that it's hard to see because of social media replacing forums and more direct conversations. I could post about a character's goal and motivations and backstory from a TV show or video game I enjoyed a lot on twitter and be ignored if I don't spam the same keywords and hashtags and if I don't add pictures to my tweets, meanwhile if someone wants to talk about ships it's very likely their posts online will be easier to find because of ship names being used as keywords to look for, and because you can easily post fanart and screenshots of the pairings you want to talk about. Social media really isn't convenient at all, and you'd think that what I said would make it easier to avoid spoilers at least, but that's not even the case.

>aren't female characters in shounen jump generally known for being badly written though? I've heard the editors literally encourage that form of writing.
It's a little different nowdays due to the trends of having simply more female characters (the reasons are various: waifus, trendy feminism, etc), so you will have manga like BNHA or Chainsaw Man give its female characters more relevance and personality than stuff from 20+ years ago, but at the same time you are not going to see said female characters in big major roles.
There are execption to the rules of course… but anyway, the major thing about shonen manga and especially Jump is editors and its target audience.
Be it Naruto 20 yrs ago or Demon Slayer today, either comic has been subjected to editors who uphold the magazine's rules. If you read a few of them you will notice that popular Jump manga has certain quirks to them, like the recognizable artstyles, the scrotey fanservice, the general presence of humor and sometimes toilet humor: most of these are not just the work of the authors but also suggested by their editors. Hirohiko Araki has gone to certain lenghts to explain, in his How To Make Manga book, that editors will work closely with the authors after approving their work and that an author just cannot bring certain things to a shonen magazine. He mentioned that one of these things is that female characters cannot outshine the main boys and that he had to fight hard to make JoJo's Part 6 a story about women. He also made the example of Lisa Lisa (if you nonas have read Part two and liked it there is a chance you will also like her): Araki wanted Lisa Lisa to have more dangerous fights (he did not specify them in the book but I can imagine might have wanted to pit her against vampires) but the editor explicitly put his hand forward and told him he couldn't do it because Jump's main demographic was (and still is even if it's Japan's most read magazine) elementary and middle school aged boys and thus female characters just can't be put in major fighting roles.
Araki also says that the pillars of Jump are friendship and hard work which made me think about the role of female characters in the magazine's publications… I'd say that for the most part, female characters in Jump exist from a male's pov and it's reflected in all of it: they are mothers, mentors, girlfriends, healers, love interests, sex appeal chicks… you are not going to find a female character in Jump who doesn't have one of the above traits.
I don't think it's necessarely a bad thing or something that will lead to bad writing, mind you, but that's because my reading scope goes beyond Jump. While Jump is not necessarely a doom pit for female characters they're still not the focus… the focus is the friendship between male characters and that's why so many young women read it.

I find that some male writers have still managed to write fun and meaningful female characters in Jump… I like all the women of Jojo for example, even Erina whose scope is being a nice girlfriend and then a gentle grandma. But to read Jump's manga and expecting women to be the focus is wrong and the sign someone must broaden her horizons. Yes there are exceptions to the rule but there are much better manga out there for female characters, it's like reading a manga magazine for girls and expecting to see intense fight scenes in every story.

It's also undeniable that Jump made some of its shitty writers worse, like Kishimoto with Sakura and anyone who isn't Tsunade. But again… it's Kishimoto who sucks at writing women. He's so bad at it even scrotes noticed.

Yeah, in short it is what it is. Shounen Jump will always be focused on male characters and their friendships while the girls at best get the role of supporting cast doing something cool just occasionally. I read shounenshit but I also get my fix of better female characters somewhere else, which is why I don't understand people dying on the hill of defending SJ females as peak writing.

Well, he didn't want to write the couple to begin with. He felt he had done what he could get out of the "boy and girl" story enough in his previous movies and wanted to create a new story about two girls falling in love, but the movie producers demanded another rehash of Your name and Weathering with you to avoid alienating audiences and getting more asses to the seats.

NGL I do wonder what other old school anime has gotten this treatment. Are any anons into shows like Fushigi Yugi/Slayers/Magic Knight Rayearth/Escaflowne etc. know what's going on in this day?

No. 1815566

>>1815528
Maybe not as current as you want, but when I got into Escaflowne a few years back there was very little (active) fandom, and what there was was largely older fans who had been into it since the 90s. It did get a new dub but I don't think that drummed up as many new fans as they hoped. I went to a showing at a convention and for the only time I can remember (at a convention), I was the youngest person in the room.
There are almost certainly some pockets online who are weird about Dilendau, but I haven't encountered them.

No. 1815569

>>1815528
I think all of those series have their dedicated fanbase who have been such for decades, it's a nostalgia trip. I don't see younger people being interested in them because there hasn't been a reboot or anything new happening with them to spark interest in the original like what happened with Trigun or Devilman.

>I miss when shipping was a subfandom

There never was such time, shipping was a huge part of my fandom experience in the early 00's and it had been for others since BBSs were a thing. It just wasn't as visible to people not looking for it due to fandoms being more clustered in different communities than it is now.

That's true, but in half of my fandoms shipping was looked down on or it was contained to a separate BBS or subforum dedicated to that kind of thing. I used to think people who judged shippers were snobs who can't have fun, but now I get where they're coming from when I constantly see people only get into something for the ship potential over anything else.

Somewhat related but I'm tired in general of the schizos with bad media literacy in every fandom. I've seen some shit about the author subconsciously agreeing with every villain they write or that you can't like villains, etc. Yes, retard. You mean the character explicitly stated by the story and the author to be an asshole was indeed a villainous asshole? Well, golly-gee, retard. Totally means the author endorses putting kittens in trash compactors and screaming racial profanities at racial minorities in public. You figured it out! Except, wouldn't a much better judge of character of the author exist in the reasonings and motivations of hero of the story??

This is not meant to be a racebait but why are there so many muslim girls/women into omegaverse and softcore porn romantasy on booktok/bookstagram? It's something that I've noticed recently. I know there are many yume/fujo artists from SEA online but they're usually not muslim.

Muslim women aren't allowed to date men until they're married (don't ask how that works, it simply doesn't) so they fantasize about unrealistic things instead. Saying this from my own observations as an ex muslim fujoshi. I'm not a fujoshi because of that and I hate omegaverse but I've seen plenty of girls like that. It's not that different from the stereotypical middle aged married woman who reads harlequin novels I guess.

This isn't true for the majority of Muslim girls, but what happens is that a lot of young Muslim girls are forced to stay at home all day and don't have much to do except be online. This situation, combined with sexual frustration and religious guilt, leads to these phenomena.

Adding the word white to what you’re saying doesn’t make sense either because white isn’t just Americans and other countries with a white population might have the same issue with conservative views on women and our sexuality.

nta and ex muslim here, you don't know what you're talking about kek. Plenty of young muslim women try to do a bunch of things without getting caught and they're very likely to not be taken seriously because it's just reading omegaverse as opposed to having irl premarital sex, and they most likely have no chance of getting caught by their boomer muslim parents on tiktok of all websites/apps. I learned English very quickly as a kid in middle school and started reading a shit ton of yaoi fanfics back then and whenever my parents would ask why I'm always on the computer (despite them not allowing me to go outside unless it's for school) I'd just say I'm pirating books for free to learn English, I didn't tell them I was reading about Sephiroth and Cloud kissing and they never gave a fuck, I'm sure these girls can also hide their hobbies in similar ways and just as efficiently.

I know what you mean, I feel like it's way too common now to get into media only to draw ships. Sometimes it even goes as far as to turn the characters into caricatures of themselves to make it easier to force them into certain tropes and dynamics. I like shipping itself and think it's fun, but sometimes it's like everything is only about that. When people start a game and all they get out of it is "these characters are in a polycule" I get the feeling they must have porn brainrot and that's why they can't think of anything else. The polyamory headcanons or whatever are always the worst, usually it's because they don't even care enough about the individual characters to actually think what pairings could work, they all have to be fucking each other for some reason

not trying to invalidate your experiences but you are making it sound like muslim (or any other religious group of) girls specifically get into fujoshit or kink stuff such as omegaverse as a substitute for just watching or reading normal porn and as a tragic consequence of their extremely oppressive culture/family, which doesn't really hold up to me since plenty of girls from all backgrounds are into the same shit. attributing fujoism to having some kind of a repressed sexuality crisis is a stretch, girls just enjoy it cause it's hot. the idea that muslim fujos in particular are suddenly "flooding" the internet is also very dubious. if freaky stuff like omegaverse etc would just be a cope/outlet for socially and sexually repressed teenage girls, all things like it would have been spearheaded by women from extremely strict religious backgrounds since the beginning. and that's just not the case. a lot more young people are probably just discovering these things as social media is growing and becoming more accessible and everyone's growing up on their phones now.

I agree with you but I was only wording it like this because the OP was specifically asking about muslim girls. I was just explaining the thought process behind why a teenage girl or a young woman could become a nerd into BL and/or omegaverse despite being muslim. I did say in a previous post that since most muslims are born into the religion they're just forced into pretending they're pure and innocent before marriage but they're still normal people like everyone else so some of them can be into BL like non muslim women. I mean, I made a bunch of fujoshi friends irl who are from a lot of different countries, cultures and religion after all.

I think one aspect of how fandom culture negatively impacts media is how it leads to the prevalence of characters who are more collections of tropes, rather than fully developed characters. A good example of this can be seen in viziepop's writing, where the aesthetic often feels like a mishmash of costumes inspired by things the crew somewhat likes. Take, for instance, the way Moxxie's dad was portrayed; it felt like a Halloween party costume of a mafia boss, complete with slang hastily picked from a quick Google search. Similarly, Angel Dust's comes across as a sheltered teenager's misguided interpretation of how a pornstar is supposed to behave. As for a mainstream example, the villain in Wish felt like a hodgepodge of various popular tropes, without the writers realizing that these tropes created a character with conflicting traits, whose just confusing more then anything.

I'm trapped in a cycle of starting a new account, building up anxiety because my ships aren't perfectly 'unproblematic' and squeaky clean and inevitably deactivating all socials when the 'antis' come running for me. No, it's not paranoia, I have genuinely been harrassed before and it's horrible. I also got hit with an adult ADHD diagnosis recently which explains why I'm so oversenstive to 'rejection' AKA the harshness of fandom cults and interactions, and why I can't actually 'just ignore it' like other creators can.

A lot of it is based on FOMO and chasing clout and numbers (as well as making friends, of course) even if you're just a small time artist or writer on xitter and of course it causes massive anxiety when you feel like you have to walk on eggshells all the time.

Good artists can usually depict the differences between them through canon.

Nona, if I could I really, really would and I've tried, but I can't. It might seem absurd but Rejection Sensitive Dyphoria is a symptom of ADHD and I really cannot deal with mass harrassment, let alone mass criticism. It takes such a huge toll on my mental stability and the options are either a full withdrawal or a fullblown panic mode across my socials wherein I try to clarify myself over and over which just feeds the cycle of harrassment. That's why I always hate when callouts and video essays use disappearing accounts as evidence of their 'guilt' (usually for some innocuous bullshit that doesn't matter) when in reality there are a lot of people who just cannot handle the pressure and (thankfully) know our own limits.

Also, fandom attracts ND weirdos by nature, it just follows that half of them constitute the psychotic fans who spearhead toxic fandom culture in the first place and the other half are the autists who cannot withstand it, implode, and their ashes fuel the flame. It's a melting pot of mental retardation just waiting to explode at any second, and once I'd come to finally understand this simple fact, I made that initial post here before deleting it all (hopefully for good).

Aw anon I'm sorry, I bet a lot of us feel the same way. I'm ESL and despite wanting to make more friends and grow a larger audience I stick to the small community in my own language because I'm too afraid of traveling outside of that circle due to the immense hostility and drama found from the wider anglosphere, using the common language of the world really subjects you to more exposure in both good and bad. The 90% of fandom participants are nice people but the rest really ruin it for everyone and once they get going it's a very steep hill for people to defend you and continue being your friends when everyone's accusing you of heinous things you didn't do. Some of the talented and nice people I follow have wiped their entire online presence as a precautionary measure after growing too paranoid of being cancelled one day over shit they did or said literally years ago, this kind of culture breeds and enhances mental illness in a very destructive way. In a world where everything you say or do leaves a footprint and anyone can just look it up even when you've long forgotten about it offers many opportunities for life ruination because you're not allowed to make mistakes and grow and learn as a person. Not to mention how everyone just isn't familiar with the anglocentric culture online and genuinely doesn't know all the social cues and history someone who grew up in the US does.

Nonnas, what are your honest thoughts on AO3 and its controversies for being 'anti-censorship'?

It's the one issue I can't make up my mind on. I'm not an anti or proshipper, both labels are retarded, but I'd say I'm mostly anti-censorship; I think people should be able to post things as they like, within reason. But horrific content is a fucking plague on AO3, I'm not talking about edgy fictional incest fics I'm talking about RPF of real teenagers (especially when Dream SMP blew up) and 'extreme underage' (involving TODDLERS.) Content like that is where I draw the line, I don't think it should exist at all. It has no real importance, there is never any goal but coom, I just don't see the point in it existing. But all that kind of goes against my being anti-censorship KEK. I don't understand AO3 staff's stance on it, that being that as they're an 'archive' they host EVERYTHING. Including RPF seems like such a retarded move on their part, I'm waiting for the day a celeb tries to sue because of it.

But the one thing I absolutely can't stand is those who equate AO3's entire existence with Kweer Activism and say you're homophobic for pointing out that this kind of porn isn't great for a website's optics. How have we regressed so far that even so-called 'progressives' are equating blatant pedo fetish material to muh kweer history that needs to be protected? Only in the past decade have people stopped equating being gay with being a predator and now people want to bring that back? It pisses me off.

What do you think? Antis are whiny children but this is the one thing I tend to align with them on, though I draw the line for content a lot further than they would kek. I have my fair share of 'problematic' ships, but surely a certain point is too far.

No. 1820907

i think people need to be shamed more so they stop putting their degeneracy on display like that. i remember being 16 years old and browsing my country's fanfiction website and the most shocking stuff was maybe some snape/harry darkfic with a rape scene or something. that was shocking enough for me. now everyone and their mom is into bdsm, noncon, incest and piss? give me a break.

there also needs to be a form of age verification, unless ao3 already has one - then it's just bad. i was already in my early 20s when i started using it but i feel like kids and teens can access the most degenerate stuff way too easily. which again leads to a bunch of virgin zoomers claiming to be into hardcore bdsm piss play incest garbage.

No. 1820909

I don't particularly care. AO3 is whatever you make of it because of the filtering system. I'm not into RPF so this probably does make a difference, but celebrities know what they are getting into when they make their images public. They know what certain fans will do and some even purposefully egg them on by "baiting". It's really easy to avoid, any celeb that sees RPF fiction sees it because they purposefully went onto a fanfiction site and searched themselves or a pairing. If they are uncomfortable with RPF, all they have to do is not go looking for it. So I don't care what RPF fans do, they're usually doing it to moids anyway. If celebs could sue for RPF someone would've done it now, but they can't as long as someone isn't making money off their likeness I think.

As for underage shit, I don't like it, but again you have to go looking for it most of the time anyway. AO3 was created specifically because "problematic" content was chased off other fanfiction sites, it is the degeneracy bunker. That is why they allow everything, it is their founding principle. It's best to have the gross stuff in one spot where it can easily be filtered out than on other sites where you'll run into it against your will imo.

I relate, I hate antis just as much as proshippers but I have mixed feelings on it overall. I'd like to read more opinions on it. Even when I had an anti phase out of peer pressure, I was more concerned with people who write extreme content involving babies, corrective rape fic, or weird 4chan kinks like raceplay, than some weeb shipping twincest or a 17 year old with a 19 year old. I don't think fiction of those things are on par with real life crime/abuse, but I have a hard time believing people into that stuff don't hold views in that vein real life. It's a different issue than not being into kinks like BDSM or A/B/O or muting someone who likes my NOTP. I dislike noncon, incest, etc., but I think it can have some narrative importance if handled well and people can write content like that and disapprove of it in real life, but the extreme stuff that's pure fetish fodder I have a hard time seeing as "just fiction" the same way I don't see school shooter manifestos as solely "fiction".

>But the one thing I absolutely can't stand is those who equate AO3's entire existence with Kweer Activism and say you're homophobic for pointing out that this kind of porn isn't great for a website's optics.

This is what gets me too. "LGB = pedo" was a stereotype in the 00s and when I was in fandom back then, it was the heterosexual male neckbeards that were into lolicon/straight shota, but proshippers are defending fictional pedophilia as "queer expression" when it's not any more "queer" than any other genre. It's probably because the proshipper community from what I've seen is full of TQ porn addicts. Antis have shitty priorities (I used to know some who thought AO3 should be taken offline but thought "sex work is real work") but they're not wrong that a lot of proshippers have actual pedophiles/apologists in their ranks.

I don't think the rules of AO3 should change, but I think more people should utilize its software to make their own spaces. If the weird extreme underage/racist/RPF/etc. content was moved to their own obscure site where only creeps into that will see it, I think that would be a win/win for everyone. But for now we have to accept the good with the bad. It's like how we shouldn't ban free speech just because people will inevitably use it to say awful things.

It's because the entire discourse got muddied to hell and back. A lot of DDLG degenerates and actual pedos snuck into the proship community and started pressuring everyone to whiteknight child rape fiction as "it's either everything goes or nothing goes". Proships, being mostly women who just wanted to be left alone, were too afraid to really get a say in this so the narrative was spun around as "it's actually a queer awakening see I never had a childhood so by reading toddlercon rapefics I realized I was a transfem nonbinary catgirl". And to be fair, antis also had their share of groomers faking being "the good adult who doesn't consume that filth" and then pressuring underage antis into sending nudes or engage in sexual convos.

But that said, LGB fiction does get branded as pedophilic a lot. Just like the proship side of the debate was infested with unhinged porn addicts, the antis were co-opted by homophobic puritans to some degree. If you have ever noticed, they tend to have a problem with ships that are more traditionally homo-aligned and they get branded as pedophilic, incestuous, abusive, glorifying rape etc. while straight ships with similar dynamics or even a more problematic one get a pass. I've seen a lot of people freak the fuck out at m/m or f/f ships featuring two consenting adults and bend out of shape to call them problematic, but then turn around and gush about their favourite rapey homicidal moid character and self insert.

i think fanfiction, even when it's extremely "degenerate" (very subjective term imo), is just fanfiction and ultimately harmless especially in comparison to other thing being spread online. i think anyone who gets super upset over any kind of fanfic needs to learn to use the tagging system for their own well being and maybe just focus on something else (or maybe use another platform than ao3?). and it's not just because i have a reductive view of fiction, it's also because fanfics, especially the most weird ones, are part of a very fringe culture and don't really have an impact. if you're gonna be mad about letters on a page/screen, at least be mad about published, known works that are popular and have a bigger audience.
>Including RPF seems like such a retarded move on their part, I'm waiting for the day a celeb tries to sue because of it.
i'm sorry but that would be completely ridiculous. look at all the hyper realistic deep fake ai porn being created and sold every day by moids, i think most celebs who give a shit would be more worried about things like that if anything.
>But the one thing I absolutely can't stand is those who equate AO3's entire existence with Kweer Activism
this i agree with. but i think this and other silly arguments like it is a result of antis making their anti-ism into a political standpoint to garner support. so the other side just starts doing the same thing accordingly and makes up their own retarded political arguments for why they should be allowed to post the content they like.

A lot of social justice issues we're dealing with now are from the progressive side being too scared of "gatekeeping" and drawing lines in the sand, IMO. So it just becomes all or nothing, either "so open minded your brains fell out" or rebranded fundie Christian "sin" mindset. I'm honestly shocked that a lot of proshippers are too wrapped up in their right to jack off to dubcon twincest to notice that actual pedophiles have taken advantage of their rhetoric. One of my peak moments was I saw a lot of proship discourse accounts support Protasia (modern NAMBLA organization), who tried to defend a website taken down by an actual sex offender that had stories about babies and incest as something no different that AO3, even though it was taken down because the creator also hosted a forum that exchanged CP behind the scenes.

>And to be fair, antis also had their share of groomers faking being "the good adult who doesn't consume that filth" and then pressuring underage antis into sending nudes or engage in sexual convos.

Yeah, that's why I can't fully be on the anti side either aside from liking ships that aren't completely wholesome. A lot of them are wolves in sheep's clothing, kinda like how repressed conservative religious people are. Or a lot of antis are complete hypocrites by being into "problematic" series like horror movies or Black Butler but tearing apart the fanwork. Or how when I was in original art circles, people would flex over how their OCs are literal serial killers but "at least they're not transphobic".

>But that said, LGB fiction does get branded as pedophilic a lot.

I agree with you, but I also think it depends on the fandom. A lot of antis in my fandoms also railed against Reylo or girls who shipped their self-inserts with canon characters who were older men just as much as they railed against gay ships with a slight age gap. The "queer" antis were ironically the most homophobic because they kept eating their own and raising the bar on what was "acceptable representation", even if it was written by an actual LGB person.

I think anyone who defends RPF of actual children is a pedophile. I think the one rule ao3 needs to implement is no actual pedophilia.

I think proshippers who call ao3 "queen history" are nerds and never grew out of their Tumblr phase.

Oh definitely, it's an issue with a lot of female-centric communities as a whole. Women are rarely allowed to set boundaries because we get flooded with rape threats, doxxing and dogpiling if we do, and a terminally online pedo male with pronouns on bio is one of the most unhinged enemies you could make.

>Or a lot of antis are complete hypocrites by being into "problematic" series like horror movies or Black Butler but tearing apart the fanwork.

The archetypal "anti" sperging about other fujos being evil rape addicted fetishizers while reading the content they created is a meme in itself.

>The "queer" antis were ironically the most homophobic because they kept eating their own and raising the bar on what was "acceptable representation", even if it was written by an actual LGB person.

Exactly the issue. In my experience those "queer antis" were just thinly veiled homophobes themselves identifying as whatever and later down a line I feel like a significant number of them got a boyfriend and turned trad for him.

Because of how degenerate fanfic writers get it's hard to implement censorship, where does it end and where does it stop? You can't really cry pedophilia when I'm so certain that a lot of the stories are written by minors, would you cry pedophilia because of the "my mum sold me to 1D" stories? Probably goes for a lot of the other fucked up stories they're probably written by teenagers.

Fans get very rabid in order to slander against ships they don't like you'll get all sorts of isms because of it. I think a manual system to check fanfics will probably be too taxing for AO3 and hiring volunteers will just lead to trouble.

>shipping was a huge part of my fandom experience in the early 00's and it had been for others since BBSs were a thing. It just wasn't as visible to people not looking for it due to fandoms being more clustered in different communities than it is now.
Shipping was important, but it didn't subsume every other character's aspect. I want to use the example of the recent re-popularity of Ranma. Previously, the shipping was between akane x ranma (the actual canon ship) and some fujos shipping ranam x ryoga. That was usually the extent of the shipping. However, now everyone gets shipped with everyone, not based on canon interactions, but based on what people project as an aesthetic. So, a recent popular ship is female ranma x shampoo, because it's allegedly "toxic yuri"

TBF, "crack shipping" (either pure shitposts or "crack taken seriously"/"ships that pass in the night") were a thing in the 2000s but they were treated as just for fun or a niche. I actually kinda like rarepairs or never-met shippings if thought is put into them, but so often it's just randomly shoving two characters and forcing them to fit within the tropes. That's also always existed, but it turns into the same tropes ("toxic yuri", "babygirl (male)", "girlboss", "queerhet where the woman pegs the man") but with different characters.

This is such a huge issue in current day fandom! I'm a big Star Wars fan (and an Obi-wan fan) and I remember when that awful shit show that was Kenobi. No one was allowed to critic Reva, who was the most annoying, pointless character to exist (she actually almost breaks canon in A New Hope by meeting Luke??) it's so good.

I personally don't care about raceswaps but it just seems sadistic to me, all the hate gets offloaded to the actor but the creator reaps the benefits of being seen as progressive.

It's tiresome engaging with fandom content nowdays. People are to sensitive to edgy humor/shitposting, everything turns into a moral crusade, people treat shipping as a political stance, most of fanart is ugly and about how heckin trans and valid the characters are. People don't know how to analyze or discuss content anymore, if I want to discuss headcanons about characters, I want to think about things related to the plot and the character, I don't care who fucks who or what niche micro identities they have. I only follow asian artists now, because they post their art and don't sperg about their personal issues, treating their page as an open oversharing diary like western artists do. It's sad to see how it turned into shit, I used to have a lot of fun as a tween/teen on deviantart/tumblr in the late 00's-early 10's.

haha I had a call-out thread against me once lmao
Because I said I wouldn't write gay or trans fanfiction. I was labelled a Terf (lol) yet the discord I was a part of that had (mainly) FtM on it took my side lol I was 'popular' (meaning my content saw a lot of engagement) in the fandom and had people drawing fan art of the fics I wrote, which was cool. It was weak on my part and sounds like a copout, I know. But I was IRL not doing well. Financially, life was on a downturn, so I stopped writing fanfics that were self-insert in nature. Y'know those x reader ones. Cringe, I know.

It was honestly so funny in hindsight. Minors, whom I didn't write, for telling me to kill myself lol and when others called them out, "I'm ONLY 17, leave me alone!" Never underestimate teenagers during the pandemic who have nothing better to do. Fanfic calls for death threats if someone doesn't want to write a tranny fantasy. The ones who made the call-out post dropped off from the fandom 2-3 months later. Some even sent them messages telling them that they ruined the fandom. Other blogs I was mutual with stopped writing for the fandom months after I stopped because it was growing toxic, in their words. I had a larger support network than the people who called me out did. Go figure lol

All in all, it was a neat experience. Call-out posts are never that fucking serious and are often done for vendetta reasons.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with making "mature" fanworks of all ages series. But I've still been soured on kid show fandoms because how easily taken over they are by moid porn addicts with a "corruption" fetish. I think the real answer is that children shouldn't go on the internet in the first place, but they unfortunately do. But even if the internet became 18+ overnight, I'm still going to think people who can't watch kids shows like Gumball, MLP, Bluey, etc. without pornifying it are weird. The way people would "race" each other to be the first person to draw porn of the newest Pokemon or Sonic character is an old trend but it's so creepy in hindsight. It's technically "old internet culture" but it's one that's unfortunately stayed.

have you tried not letting coomer moids ruin stuff for you? i once saw a video of a seething furfag angry that the bluey fandom, out of all people, hated them. I think if more people stood up and made a clear distinction between the good, sfw fandom and filthy furfags this stuff wouldnt happen. It's not like there arent sfw spaces left, most subreddits are sfw and you can easily block nsfw content of twitter. Some of you make a mountain out of a molehill. Tranny shit is miles more corrosive to fandom space, that shit is like fandom aids and there is no way to ge rid of it or find a non tranny infested space.

Samefag but also, iirc the gods can have any physical appearance, don't have DNA, and Athena's kids are made from her thoughts rather than actual procreation, so not even book Annabeth was Greek. I just don't think the race swapping argument works with a series that relies so heavily with magic. I do agree that they're setting up these black actresses to be attacked though.

Please don't remind me… I boycotted Engage just because of the art style. At least in 3H Kurahana Chinatsu made good designs, it's just that the art director decided to do almost all the in-game art and he doesn't know how to fucking draw, I guess Kurahana is too expensive for IS? Sometimes I want Kozaki to come back because his style really looks good in 3D but at the same time he worked on AI the Somnium Files and its sequels right after that and he made Date and Ryuki look really hot so I'm not going to complain too much.

Thanks for proving my point. FE fans are spoiled brats because you guys see a perfectly normal game and act like it's Sonic 06. The only real flaws are the localization and the fact that BR and CQ aren't sold on the same cartridge (except in Korea I think? I know there's only one country where that's not the case).

Are you really surprised a company would want to make even more money after having a major success with a new product they thought would flop? I don't agree or disagree with you but you know that Awakening would have only been the last game of the series because the devs thought it would be a failure.

>the only flaw is that you need to pay 100$+ to get the full (and bad) experience

It's not that amount, it's more like 80$ or € depending on where you live, because if you get one version the other versions are less expensive. So it's the equivalent of buying three games for 80$, the only really bad route is Revelation, it's an easy skip imo.

>>1826935
I don't think it's the best game but I think it's very fun to play (except Revelation because wtf were they thinking), I started with Awakening and I'm into plenty of other games so it's not like I have a special attachement to the series as a whole.

Just saw this and it makes total sense to me. It's similar to how people who are unhappy with and have no control over their own lives focus their attention into online cancellation campaigns because that's the only situation they can feel powerful in. But what annoys me about this is how america-centric it is. Just because they fucked themselves, everyone else on the internet has to suffer through their cultural issues as well.

I swear this thread's average age is somewhere under 20 and the fandom experience reflects that. If you take part in any unisex fandom with a 50/50 gender ratio you'll get scrotes constantly aggressively sexualizing little girl characters, bitch and moan endlessly over one handsome male character being a female favourite, unabashedly bring their fetishes everywhere in the fandom, dogpile on female fans for saying basically anything that's not high praise and condoning of female characters being treated as a walking pair of tits and coombait and so forth.

How come you can not be into something and people will generally be okay with that, but as soon as you say you're not into or don't draw tranny porn not only can you not voice it but you will be actively interrogated as to why or straight up hounded. you HAVE to like tranny porn because otherwise mr. John "draw the girlcock" AGP (there's so fucking many of them) and untagged cuntboy fanfic Tiffany are going to throw a massive fucking tantrum about it because troonies can't take a no or even a maybe.

I just don't understand what the conclusion to this 'pornifying children's media' is meant to be? Yeah, it is cringe and degenerate, but it seems statistically unlikely that anyone itt does it, meaning no one here can stop doing the bad cringe thing as no one is doing that to start with, so what are we supposed to do?
>if you are a child
Stop having neglectful and internet illiterate parents, go read a book.
>if you are not a child
Find a ways to avoid being exposed to content that disgusts you.

Personally, I'm the kind who just keeps scrolling if I see something gross or at most share it with someone to cringe with. But maybe I am the one in the wrong, maybe I'm hypocritical, cause I say these people are disgusting and even pedophiles but then do nothing about it. Maybe the twitterfags making call out docs and trying to contact people's employers are the ones in the right for actively trying to get rid of these people, who know?

This whole thread is mostly venting about retarded fandom trends so there isn't really a solution. Some anons are really defensive over this, I personally don't like it but it will always exist. It shouldn't be illegal or anything and some outlandish stuff if funny, but it gets tiring how some people (read: usually men and pickme women) are so porn addicted they can't watch anything without inserting porn into it. Tthe assumption that we can't complain about moids running everything when "tranny shit has infested everything" (newsflash: TIMs are men) is what I don't get.

This, literally nobody here likes trannies or capes for them. Trying to absolve the shit coommoids do because of "b-but trannies" is retardation, especially because male troons are still men.

I agree that the kid show porn and NSFW artist trying to be edgy by pornifying kids' shows is in poor taste and as tacky as can be like creating Bowsette style coomshit versions etc. but acting as if it's ~literally ruining children~ is concern trolling.

Trans shit and coomer moids who love to corrupt kids' media are two sides of the same coin.
Lots of tims are coomers and in general coom fanart and the proliferation of porn make it easier for gender ideology to take a hold on people. After all, look at how many trannies (both m and f) are obsessed with porn and fetishes or self-identify as asexual.
