ever notice how representation slop like this characters never really share nationalities or ethnicities? i feel like it's because they (ironically) make being 'x race/nationality' into their only characteristic and having more than one character being from a country would make them have duplicate characters that even they low-key know they can't write. Also, this feels like an advanced version of exoticism where they like collecting people from different countries instead of antiques.

What's with people calling Geto a woman? I thought it was a small contained thing at first but there's thousands of people that do this on Twitter.

I think the tweet is saying that if Geto was a woman the fandom wouldn't give him that much attention or wouldn't sympathsise with him which maybe yeah fandom neglects female characters. But Geto gets becomes way more sympathetic after S2.

The way a lot of woke leftist artist make non-white/mixed/etc OCs feels similar to how kids would make "tiger/wolf/demon hybrid" roleplay characters, except with real life races. It's like they just see them as accessories/traits to make their art look "cooler" or "exotic" and not real cultures.

No. 1893308

Aside from Mahito, JJK's villains are kind of all over the shop quality-wise– Geto's barely even around for very long or achieves much before Kenjaku takes the reins. Sukuna is just an inciting incident and final boss to beat. Man, I wish the culling game arc was different, it really damaged a lot of the more intriguing parts of the series.

Oh I agree Kenjaku is dull as well, he's just more of a presence in the story than Geto kek. His deal has been elaborated on and it's… something. JJK is frustrating because its pre-current arc structure was good and could have allowed for better exploration of stuff like the world and side characters while still being within the bounds of a battle shounen, but the current arc railroads everything too hard chasing the finish line (I assume that's what its doing, anyway).

i mean, at this point with all the additions, its fine to complain that wyll has less content. he literally has around 8 hours of content, while most of the other origin characters have around 11-12 hours of content. they are continuously updating the game with new scenes and dialogue, giving wyll a bit of special attention to bring him up to par with the rest would be fine imo.

i don't think he is as boring as people say, either. maybe overshadowed by the bomb-in-chest suicide baiter and vampire-elf, but i do love his whole fantasy-prince thing he has going on, and a lot of what makes him interesting- his struggle with his appearance, being cast out of his home by his father, staying true and righteous despite his patrons influence or other factors.. it is more brushed over than the rest of the cast, including where his own quest is just used to add more backstory for the emperor. he is the only character who doesn't even get to make his big story decision for himself now, since they gave lae'zel the ability but not him.

i'm not saying its racism, honestly i do think a lot of it was time constraints, but i think it would be nice if larian did now his fans that they cared and were working on him, but his fans are nowhere near as bad as some of the others in the fandom imo.

I have posted this once before, but are there any fandoms where there is genuinely little infighting between its major groups, specifically its male and female sides?
The Transformers fandom is the only example I can think of, because other than the young boys for whom the series is primarily made and marketed, the active fanbase of this series is split between mostly adult male toy collectors and adult female shippers. Transformers has had female fans making yaoi of it since the original G1, some are self-inserters though. What's really fascinating is that there is very little conflict or infighting between these two groups. Men are more focused on collecting toys than characters or lore, while female fans aren't interested in owning every color variant of G1 Megatron and care more about the characters and consistent relationship dynamics. The first cons were organized by mostly women (one infamous con being organized by a snake handler named Raksha who believed that the Deceptions were an oppressed minority fighting against injustice and was very adamant about her HC), but I wish more fandoms were like this, where the two parties could just get along and not interfere with each other's fields of interest.

No. 1894015

>>1894011
there are tons of tranny transformerfags sadly. Its funny because despite being ''uwu women'' they still only care about the toys and the autistic lore rather than the shipping and the characters like most women. The TMNT fandom used to be cozy before the 2018 tumblr remake that ruined everything.

My favorite part of the fall out from this is how people are saying that a character can't be actually mean or problematic. Like they can commit many a crime and kill people offscreen, but god forbid they aren't accepting of everyone or support trans rights. Also I don't think Aventurine is supposed to be good rep, he's supposed to be hatecrimed essentially to show of the people doing so are dicks/ignorant/not very good people.
It's just so endlessly fascinating to me. I don't mind people headcanoning whatever, but when they talk about it being unacceptable to be a bad person in canon is when it gets bothersome.

They think everything is about them. For all they know the guys in the screenshots are quoting someone who doesn't even care or think about female characters being objectified in video games but they keep assuming a bunch of shit about everyone they interact with all the time. They think they're poor little victims because some stories have characters who look ugly or plain.

Big if true. Fortunately it's not true, as the context note points out, but I can only imagine the mental gymnastics needed to follow this notion to its logical conclusion.

As someone who has been a fan of the series and many others that suffered from this, I do have a tinfoil that it's because new fans can access some of the content without actually playing the game. I met women on tumblr who only consumed supernatural fanfiction and never watched the series, but that didn't stop them from writing their own fanfiction, which obviously were just based around fanfic tropes. So it doesn't surprise me that many alleged fans of RE just see videos, edits and read the wiki at best. Most recent Leon fans don't get past the remakes, if they even play it at all. I've seen this happen to other franchises and types of media. I know these type of fans always existed at some extent, but it seems to me that they multiplied over the years.

You don't need to have a degree in order to publish, but every paper gets reviewed by other academics (who have usually at least a Ph.D). The editor of the journal ultimately decides if a paper is accepted for review and if it's accepted for publication based on the referees' opinions.

This book was so relatable to me as a lesbian and it didn't pull any punches describing the loneliness and emotional issues caused by childhood trauma, and the """incest fantasies""" this dumbass is talking about were the main character describing how her inner child yearns to be held by a mother due to being emotionally neglected and that's why she's been so attached to the idea of an older woman pampering her.

>doing exactly what the sperg in the screencap is doing
i.e. Repeating hearsay and gossip based on bits taken out of context and 2ch incels nonetheless. And even if we assume it's all true and she did have a ABDL fetish, then what about it? It doesn't make the overall story (which doesn't mention anything about an ABDL fetish in any of the books) about the loneliness and rejection a mentally ill lesbian woman experiences any less lesbian. You can't just pick and choose which stories you like the best and hand them the lesbian license as a reward for not being problematic. Yes, she's mentally ill for being neglected, molested and feeling rejected for not adhering to the strict female mold (which is even more rigid in Japan) and her mental illness is showing through her fixations and alcoholism. It is what it is. It's a poignant story a lot of lesbians have found relatable so any 19-year old twitter polilez radfem going "ummmm do you even realize how creepy she's being like yikes?????" doesn't change that.(infighting)

Oh how dare a lesbian not be cutesy and "uwu" and kawaii cottagecore nya nya desuuuu. These people literally think two women holding hands while posing for an Instagram picture equals being a lesbian. Yeah I don't personally like that this girl ended up at a brothel hooking up with a prostitute but c'est la vie. And I don't have mommy issues. And yet the rest of it was relatable and I enjoyed it. Let women be unhinged and troubled I say.

It's enraging because it's clear they have some bitter hate towards other women. Trooning out is always the fault of "female pornsickness" and not the society hating and shaming young women for existing, women liking bishounens is because they're pornrotted pedophiles who want young blood and not because they're conventionally attractive and nonthreatening, women would like to have more diverse female characters and protagonists only because they're misogynist snowflake whores who hate traditionally feminine (i.e. female!!!) things and so forth. It makes me wonder how many men post in this hellthread just to project because the venn diagram for the tradthot (and subsequently the self-identified "radfems" who are just tradfags who hate men and trannies) rhetoric and moidbrained thinking is a perfect circle.

"Disney Adults" i.e. the millenials still really into Disney grew up with classic renaissance age Disney movies known for their prolific, charismatic villains like Ursula, Scar, Jafar, Gaston, Frollo, Hades and so forth. It's the generation past that who were influenced by the late 00's and 10's movies void of villain characters because they wanted to make more "grounded" stories desperately trying to rip off Pixar's style of storytelling after they surpassed Disney in popularity.

What's incredible about this website is that it's really not about the disproportionate hate fujoshi/slash fans have been getting since the dawn of time for being weird women who like weird romance, it's actually about ~evil transphobia and femmephobia!!~ the ~struggles~ of poor fudanshi. It's hilarious to see they think completely sane and impartial statements like "trans mlems are just fujos in denial" are comparable to the violence and death threats their PC ilk send regularly
… they can't go one second without sniffing their own farts because they know their flimsy identity only exists through constant validation and weak mantras. And they absolutely also know that liking yaoi is a female XX woman trait: their whole website exists to keep their copium levels high because even the troon mlems around them know they're nothing more than delusional TIF fujos who spiraled into troondom also thanks to yaoi. Talking about le evil terves is just a smokescreen because hyperonline terves dgaf about yaoi and some even like it because it makes moids seethe.

So this cringe website can't even set out to do what's on its label: instead of defending weird nerd women with cringe hobbies it'd rather be another virtue signaling snoozefest about how the mlems and those 10 gay men who read yaoi are the most oppressed of all and how trans boi mlems are heckin valid for liking something tailor made for man-hating women.
Seeing it take an academic approach just makes it milkier, too.

You can blame lizard brain capitalism logic. Frozen made over a billion dollars and had a twist villain, as well as broader themes about emotions. so for the rest of the decade, all disney movies were filled with nothing but twist villains and focused on emotions, in an attempt to replicate its success. they were fine, but in my opinion, the last truly great classic Disney movie was Moana. Disney then released a bunch of mediocre (but financially successful) sequels and then came Encanto. Regardless of how you feel about it, Encanto was really financially successful and focused on broader themes of "generational trauma". As a result, every Disney/Pixar movie afterwards has been focused on this. Luckily, they all failed financially, so it seems this trend will die faster than the twist villain trend.

It literally doesn't do anything to moids because moids are beings that depend on their dicks and ass to exist, if anything, yaoi makes them want to be gay or bi, which means you get to eliminate another pornsick moid from the dating pool of a few women.
Moid sexuality is so retarded that if you showed a few moids some pictures of holes that induce trypophobia, and not even say anything, just post them near anime girls or the picture of a regular woman, and after a while they will create a trypopho-chan waifu that's full of holes and moids will want to fuck random holes on the floor.
The moral of this story is that no one needs to give a fuck about what moids think or feel, they don't give a fuck about what we think or feel anyways, they've shown us what they think about porn for decades.
So why is it evil for some women to think that, idk, Naruto and Sasuke look hot kissing? Why is it pornsick to read a retarded manga about some guy that falls in love with another guy? If anyone brings back omegaverse shit, you all have to remember that lots of those manga focus on the plot of why the fuck omegaversr even exists and on the feelings of the characters about their positions, comparing that to your average porn manga with anime girls in skimpy clothes that doesn't even have a plot is retarded.(derailing/infighting)

Be honest, did you even go through these yourself? And yeah, it's pretty obvious she's mentally ill and an emotionally stunted womanchild. That's the entire point.

I've got a rant to make, I can't stand how Japanese isekais have twisted elves into nothing but a porn genre. They're entirely reduced to coom clichés, with busty women getting raped by orcs or Japanese/korean male self inserts, while the men are depicted as weak and feminine, existing only to be humiliated or portrayed as ultra-feminine femboys resembling prepubescent children. And this coom fueled portrayal has now infiltrated Western depictions, not just with elves either, but with any fae or otherworldly pre-human civilizational creature.

It's so fucking bleak as someone living in a country under direct threat from Russia and being very aware of them murdering Ukrainians over not even a stupid land dispute but sheer megalomaniac lust for endless amounts of power provoked by an ex-soviet country trying to democratize itself. Yet even when Russia attacked Americans were kinda standing there awkwardly being all "well that sucks, slava ukraini I guess" at best yet will bully everyone around the world into stopping whatever they're doing to cape for Hamas despite it being a known terrorist organization oppressing its own people. Crazy fuckers will rake through selfies and tiktok videos to spot a Starbucks cup in the background just so they can cancel you on the spot and if you have any sort of a platform big or small, will demand you to talk about the conflict even if you don't know anything about it and the content you create has nothing to do with current issues.

It's part of a broader trend that I believe is happening. As men get fatter, uglier, and more porn addicted and degenerate, they no longer see themselves as young male heroes or even the macho action types. Instead, they devolve into self-inserting as ogres, orcs, goblins, and in human world stories, they become the 'ugly bastards' and derive pleasure from being objects of disgust. They dream of violating both the knight and the princess, not out of genuine attraction, but as a form of misogynistic hatred and contempt.

Can you explain what you even consider to be moralism and what that would look like? Most discourse already boils down to "This makes me uncomfortable because it deals with something that's bad, that means you are a bad person and should delete your account". How is moralism supposed to be enforced in your opinion?
Coomers aren't the average person anyway, if you talk to any normal person they won't immediately think of porn when you ask them about elves. It's your fault for being so deep in weebshit or generally looking into shit you know you won't like kek and it's not like western depictions of elves weren't also fueled by coom, just in a way that's different from the anime shit and therefore easier for you to cope with. Dungeon Meshi has non-sexualized elves but anons managed to find issues with that as well, it's almost like you can always find something to complain about if you're looking for it

Maybe it's just the way I run into Link content, but most of the time when I see art of him drawn overly feminine/female in anatomy it's by female fans (to be fair they're also often tifs and therefore insane, so). He was already a smooth anime boy to begin with, but that gerudo outfit seems to have really activated some neurons when it comes to wanting to see him depicted as more feminine or even as a tif. I don't want to start the self-insert uke debate again, but that is clearly a motivator too when other characters are involved, with a very 'safe' and acceptable form of crossdressing also probably being part of the appeal. I'm not saying the bastardisation of Link is totes women's fault or anything, just that it might feel inescapable because both 'sides' are doing it, in differing ways.

Again, I don't actively look for Link content so I haven't seen much gross coom art by moids- I'm sure there's a lot and that it's gross, but what can you expect of terminal losers so pornsick they're practically prison gay and trying to justify their interests as being anything but by making pretty men convincingly female and therefore okay?

I think it's bad a combination of porn-sickness and stan twitter humor, where they can't express their attraction in a regular way and have to express it in a way a terminally online gay men would, so that's why there's been a trend of calling men's pectoral boobs, but the thing is, there are genuinely some women who are now convinced that men's chest muscles behave exactly like women's breasts.

I honestly think he has a baby face in most cutscenes, when he's not frowning.

He's 15yo in some flashbacks and looks exactly like his mother, just not blond. I think he looks a lot better than Noctis after the timeskip in FF15.

Be honest, have you ever been glad to see someone or a series you just dislike get cancelled? For me, this is what happened to Our Flag Means Death. The promotion made a big deal about how it's telling the real "queer POC history" of pirates and it banked itself on that. However, it had to skirt around the issues of rape, murder, and slavery. Steve Bonnet was a plantation owner(and shitty husband and father), and Blackbeard captured slaves from one salve shit and sold them to other nation. No amount of queer woobification could remove those objectively evil acts. and It would be fine if it was a fictional story that clarified it was not real, but again, that's not what the series built its entire identity on. Also, seeing Taika Waititi get cancelled for being just a degenerate fake bi made me happy to see as well.

During the PS2 and early PS3 era, developers faced the challenge of limited technology that couldn't achieve complete realism. To overcome this, they focused on style and gameplay, resulting in games that have aged remarkably well compared to those released in recent years. The pursuit of "realism" has proven to be a massive pitfall for Western developers, as it leads to games that are more expensive and time-consuming to create, but ultimately have bland and restrictive gameplay.

I obviously dont think their creations should be used for AI but thats another conversation entirely, I’ve just noticed that fandoms have shifted heavily into “RESPEKT YOUR FIC WRITERS!!!

I do get some of the frustration (don't agree on the 'we should get paid' part– fic comms are one thing, but a patreon for fic or whatever feels against the spirit of the whole thing kek), as there is a problem in general with a lack of interaction these days. It's not even about praise, just that if you're going to write a fic out of love and autism, you often want to talk about and share that autism with other fans in the comments. Same goes for art, even if what you post performs well, there's a lack of that sense of community and discussion that was more prominent in the 2000s and earlier 2010s.

There's no need to be entitled about it, but yeah, it is sometimes disheartening to be shouting into the void in a space like fandom, where the whole point is enjoying a thing as a group– likes and sharing is nice and all, but sometimes you would rather more substantial interaction or discussion.

Because paying to get the exact fic you want down to the word is much harder and a riskier investment than paying to get a fanart that looks exactly how you want it.

This, the only fic writers I've seen who are good at writing on commission (haven't run into any patreon-havers in the fandoms I'm in, and only a couple kofi ones) are ones who are at a skill and quality level that they could probably go into a field that requires that kind of writing if they wanted to anyway (eg TV/tie-in novels/anything that's pre-established and requires consistent theming and feel, etc). These authors also tend to only take comms that suit their tastes as well because they're smart enough to know that taking on something that doesn't won't come out to their usual standards or be draining to work on. They're also popular or have a dedicated readership that knows what to expect of their fic, similar to readers familiar with or able to read reviews of published authors. Comms are still hard to get anyway, since with most fanfic you can just wait around and someone will probably end up writing it for free just because what's wanted is generic enough, so fic commissions tend to be either more specific requests or just a desire for more from the one author.

(also, a lot of artists shouldn't be expecting/demanding payment for their efforts anyway, as they're often asking too early skill-wise or haven't built up enough of a following to even have a market that isn't just cheap opportunists or passing children, whether they post fanart or not)

Somewhat similar topic, but does anyone else feel like trades and interesting fic challenges have kind of died out? Like, people still do ship/character weeks and kink/other-tober prompt challenges, but what happened to big bangs and meme fills (though I guess the answer to that is stuff like kinkmemes dying out) and other fun shit?

Doing fanart commissions is way more straight forward than fic commissions imo. If someone comes to you asking to draw a character from a series you've never seen, any decent artist can learn to draw them from a handful of refs and feedback from the client. To write a good fic you need to have actually read/watched the source material and understand it fairly in depth, and need to understand the characters/ship on the same level as the commissioner.

Fandom spaces being commodified is the biggest mistake that was made in the 2010's. Less people want to do it simply for the love of the series and the feeling of providing something for the community, everyone has to be compensated monetarily. Having drawn loads of fanart and organized multiple events on my own damn free time being paid nothing but maybe crumbs of social clout for it I wouldn't change it for the world, bringing money into hobby spaces poisons it for good because it attracts opportunists only there for their grift and everyone is too short sighted to see that they're making a profit off someone else's creation, not their own. People greatly overestimate the amount of money involved in fandom anyway because they see the top 0.01% like Sakimichan making a huge amount of coomer bucks when in reality most people are selling $4 keychains and $30 fanart commissions that barely cover the material or labor costs just to make a few extra bucks for their effort.

This is more of a direct response to the image then your post but, I can answer this.
I'm the type of person that does commission art, including of ships I like. There's 2 main reasons I've yet to commissions any fics. First one, is that quite frankly most fanfic writers aren't worth it. I have to dig through countless of pages to find something that isn't incredibly OOC and I hate investing time into a 400k fic only for it to never pay off. So I read mostly one shots because some bad writing is easier to deal with when it's short. It's just hard to trust someone will write something the way you like it, since it's much more personal then 'draw this character'.
Second reason is that paying someone for a smut fic is something I really don't want attached to my name by payment. Somehow I don't feel the same way about smut art commissions but I digress.

This kind of attitude is so baffling to me. It's the same as people who say shit like "When will we get good fanart of this character?". Like, you're not "getting" anything. Someone made something and you can choose to look at it. This entitlement is crazy and it's one of the reasons fandom spaces feel so hollow. There are "content creators" who are treated like machines that just pump out stuff to look at and regular fans that take it all in and still feel the need to act like they are entitled to more or to dogpile those who create in a way they think is wrong.

He certainly wasn't my pick for the game, but I do find it a bit odd that so many anons act as if it's a surprise that Astarion is popular despite his rougher looks– you could give his personality, a sad backstory, and expressive vocal performance to a tree stump and people would still love it. The game is long as fuck too and revolves around roleplaying, which gives people plenty of time to come around on characters even if they originally dismissed them as an obnoxious uggo who was only slightly more worthwhile to keep around and alive than purposely killing them off/letting them die

Pretty much this. the internet has gotten too centralized. Fandoms are no longer compromised of nerds who truly love a show/game/book and built a community, if something blew up on tiktok or gains traction in some other way you get a hoard of FOMO fans just riding the wave and regurgitating memes without actually fully engaging with the material.

The other day I saw some fanartist post a sketch and said the full thing is in her patreon, she wasnt even a particularly popular or “skilled” artist. Everyone is just trying to make money and build a bootlicking community around them nowadays.

I'm really starting to hate Patreon after all the good femgaze smut got pay-walled. Once a hobby becomes a job, an artist regards their peers as rival companies rather than contemporaries, like it's a big race to net the most fame and fortune in under a month. No one cares. yet it's life and death with those people. AI is bad for a slew of reasons, but taking your "job," especially a hobby, is quite frankly retarded. I get that the job market right now is fucked beyond all belief, but can it rest? Can't one find more joy in the craft than thinking of getting food on the table?

Back then, fandom artists would draw away in their basements, expressing love of anime, comics, cartoons, and video games without a care in the world. I'm seeing more kid artists dive straight to Kofi and Patreon because flipping burgers had grown boring these days. Eighteen year olds are either into only fans or drawing smut of their favorite bl pairings but one of them got a vagina cuz muh diversity.

Back then fandom artists usually had a real job and fanart was just a side hustle for them so they weren't as concerned about getting everything down to their smallest farts monetized. A lot of the artists I used to follow were of various backgrounds and job industries and openly shared their creations they dedicated their free time to, but social media made it so that you need to abandon the 9 to 5 and become a full time fanartist. A lot of creators have paywalled their content to the point their open social media is just advertisements for their Patreon, and it's not just Patreon exclusive perks but literally all of their posts are just practically e-begging that started way before they became big enough for people outside of their direct friend circle willing to pay for their work because they just felt entitled to monetary compensation.

Yes, this. I used to think it was pretty stupid to gatekeep fandoms, but I've seen what it does to just open up to anyone. I remember using forums and they were great containment zones to the various aspects of it. You had specific places to talk about different parts of the media and you had to adhere to the etiquette and lingo of each space. Nobody was truly kept away from the fandoms, they were just directed to make their own niche places for different purposes. Just look at how twitter feed is an solid continuous scroll of every post without filtering. Back then we had different websites, a personal blog to post your thoughts, a gallery to post your work, a separate one to post your nsfw and so on, I even remember Japanese artists creating different accounts for each fandom they were part of. I understand it was a hassle to hop in a bunch of different places and check every single one of them, which made some interactions slower than the ones we have now, it wasn't a perfect situation. Still, I would take that back from what we got.

As an oldfag who was around at the time of personal websites and also had multiple of my own, I actually miss this time. I miss the excitement of checking a list of websites I had in my bookmarks to see which ones had updated, and if they hadn't, I just revisited all the content again. Things just lasted for longer now. Now I can't remember half of the artwork I've retweeted on my fandom account in the last two days and I kind of feel bad about it, art should be enjoyed and experienced and not just consoomed endlessly.

I bet we know the some of the same cows, for some reason twitter shoves them into your feed if you like RE. I am not into shipping, but I don't hate it, either way it's impossible to be in a fandom and avoid the ships discussions, they became most of the content for every fandom I see. Though every ship has their own cows, Aeon takes the cake. They remind me of Cloti fans who self insert as Tifa. Serennedy and metal tango is filled with trans fanart of the characters, but there is this one person who is obsessed with the idea of tif fat Krauser. Then there is this artist who draws Leon with her furry ocs and for a while she only drew him as a fat donut eating cop, that was something. The last twitter cows I can think of are the Ethan fans. It takes something special to be obsessed with the guy that until the last village dlc had no face and ship it with characters he barely interacts, if at all.
Top tumblr poster from picrel is my favorite. She is obsessed with Leon and her whole tumblr is her answering asks like "do you think Leon would hear smashing pumpkins?". I suspected she sent most of these asks to herself, but I checked some of her followers and now I'm not so sure.

Self-ship content feels cringe to other fans (even ones who also self-ship) because it's like reading someone's diary about their crush rather than witnessing regular fandom content involving only canon characters. Most fans just want to see more of what they're a fan of, gen or shipping content, not OCs and author/reader inserts– that's why they're in a fandom and, I don't know, reading romance novels designed with self-inserting in mind. It's a similar reason why a lot of people don't like crossover fics– they've turned up looking for one thing and are instead having it invaded by something else. That, and the autism.

I agree with your post and I don't want to derail the thread into a game discussion, but I also think games like silent hill were the best of that time, ps2 and ps3 era had atrocious looking games that people gloss over. I get ptsd from the cheap movie adaptations for ps2 I've played and they did not age well by any means. What silent hill had was a good art direction and very talented people involved. I agree the mindless pursuit gamedevs had with realistic graphics was part of the reason some recent games look bad, I remember their obsession over graphics for every single game release and how "graphics" became a rating category for the game ratings and ofc their mindless thought realism=better, without taking in consideration the art direction. Take silent hill as an example, it didn't turn to shit just because of that. Konami disbanded Team Silent who was the group responsible for the first 4 games and to this day, they are the best ones. Unsurprisingly every silent hill after that not only looked like shit but lost all the cool storytelling. Silent hill wasn't known for it's gameplay, but for the story and the ambience. The new games relied on snippets of the first 4 games to exist, they were soulless copies. Look at silent hill origins that came years after silent hill 3 and 4 and how much worse it looks. A decent art direction will look good in any technology and style imo, but companies think "graphics" will sell their games, and unfortunately it does, the average player looks awed by graphics and automatically think the gameplay quality is equivalent, which isn't true. We see plenty of indie games with basic graphics but way better gameplays and stories and people have been genuinely getting more invested in them. While I agree the realism pursuit was part of the reason, I also think the way the companies handled their creative teams was also an issue, it wasn't just konami, many other big companies repeated these same mistakes.

You are close but also wrong. When it comes to EN-speaking fandom artists, there's no path to turning that passion into a job. If you're in SEA, you can totally use that skill of drawing fanart into making it a job. For example, Fate Grand Order has many artists drawing for the game who were once just simple fans drawing fanart. That's not a thing in the west. It basically does not happen. So if you want to survive from your art, a mix of patreon and commissions is your best bet. Once you have a few hundred patreons giving you $5 a month, you're mostly good. Keep in mind that just commissions is difficult if you life in a first world country. To make $2500 a month in commissions you'd need several high-paying ones, and who knows how often you can guarantee a stream of clients. That's why patreon is used so often. It's significantly safer and more steady.

Most jp artists who sell at conventions and on booth etc. only do so to cover printing costs.

>For example, Fate Grand Order has many artists drawing for the game who were once just simple fans drawing fanart. That's not a thing in the west.
It is though, a lot of budding artists have gotten industry jobs for drawing fanart or being highly invested in a property. There was a trending hashtag called #fanartgotmepaid a few years back of people showing off how they were hired through drawing fanart that caught someone's eye in the industry.

nta but yes it's an extremely common design trope in fiction in general, with a few variations depending on if the MC is the mother or father, or who the child takes after the most being dependent on if the kid is a boy or girl. You also see it a lot with fankid designs for ships– it's just a very lazy and basic design trope that mostly only matters if the child character is supposed to be taken seriously as their own entity and not just a rehash of one of their parents.

I just haven't seen this trope as much because, based on my experience with animated shows, if the mom is a rat and the dad is a bird, then the boy children will be rats and the girl children will be birds. And if they are both the same species, the children will simply be reversed gendered palette swaps of their parents.

Inaya, Isabelle, Yolanda, Ashlie and Anoki are women (Anoki's route is all about how she is non binary and goes by all pronouns and totes not as straight woman. Ashlie is a e-girl streamer who's straight and her route is about finding friendship)

Catherine and Emhari are trannies and Emhari is a transbian and his route is all about how totes valid he is despite not medically transitioning

Arihi is a pooner who overthinks about getting misgendered all the time and her beta design looked more like a girl

Yolanda is the danulmao's (the dev)
Self insert and she is a cow herself

Keaton was put as a joke because "haha see we don't hate wyppl look we even put an italian there" and when the character became a fan favorite (because there were a lot of memes and jokes and putting him on the spotlight as the butt of the joke) Dani (the dev) got butthurt kek but she later created Keaton's mom and made her a milf bait


Also all the characters smoke weed and every route there are unfunny weed jokes.

Not to mention they had 10 artists and one programmer and a lot of the team quit and a bunch of dirty laundry was aired and acusations of xist and xphobic were thrown out

It's a fantastic dumpsterfire to follow up kek

He even has a tattoo from one of the factions(something like picrel). now Warhammer is a tabletop RPG series, and he's never played one (he calls it nerd stuff). He just listens to the lore videos, likes the art and aesthetic, but never engages in the actual games or the fandom. He says most of them are fat nerds and that he doesn't want to be around them.

Nta but when men make self insert ship art they always make the female character the most attractive. Women's sexuality is unfortunately broken, looking good for their partner is a huge part of their attraction. Fantasying about being desired isn't unhealthy per se but many women are more concerned with looking attractive for their male partner rather than being in a fulfilling relationship This is specially an issue when it comes to sex since women tend to focus on whenever their boyfriends find them sexy enough rather than focusing on actually enjoying sex. When men engage in self indulgent fantasies they never fuzz about being hot enough. They do portray themselves better looking than they are irl but they don't sexy-pose their self inserts

Any where both characters, but especially the female one in het, retain their canon traits and personalities (disagreeable or unique ones in particular).

It's fascinating how this thread's criticisms on self-insert just sounds like a branch of hating the scent of pickme characterization. Older, stronger, dominant women can and do see themselves, self-inserting, in those "non self-insert" hetships but they'll be considered based for it. Note that I don't like just poorly written female characters period.

Honestly, my opinion is that I don't hate on fan creation that tries to build on top of canon, it's based when they decide to build on top of a bland female character. Otherwise, it's an inoffensive hobby.

Even when nobody has ever mentioned m/m ships in the discussion you really need to drag fujos into it with your retarded whataboutism. Can't we fucking talk about what makes a good/bad hetship or a female character without you going "well but CERTAIN SHIPPERS…" to shoot it down. Everyone can read between the lines here.

that wasn't my intention at all(that's why I used vague wording), but to avoid conflict again I will delete it, but I still state this happens even with straight ships, people think two characters belong together cause they have "better vibes" or fit into their pre-established HC, see all dramione shippers.

dramione is almost always an excuse for self-inserting and not about the actual characters involved or how they were presented in canon. The HP fandom is interesting though with how poorly it took to the canon romances (or at least how loud/active portions of the fandom did), which yeah was due to the weak handling of said romances in the books/films (as well as fan preference that would exist even if they were well-written and had strong chemistry)

What canon endgame ships have gotten the most backlash the last couple years? Feels like nothing I've been into has inspired that kind of drama for a long time kek

again nothing really comes close to HP where I think almost every canon end couple was hated for one reason or another, though I think one of the most openly hated for a time in HP was Tonks and Lupin.

nta but I don't take it as that strange. I have a mutual who is also really into Warhammer40k(to her credit, she reads the tie-in novels), but she has no interest in tabletop gaming. She likes the series because of how well-developed the history is and how varied the characters are. She basically uses the setting to ship her self-insert with edgy superhumans who are genetically designed to be super-hot, and are themselves based on historical figures (as superhuman demi-gods). And she's not the only one, there's a community of shippers (though very small) who use the setting to tell their own stories because of how extensive and broad-reaching it is.

I don't have any grudge with self inserts, I do tend to hate them when their fandom annonys me(Zutara, Reylo). But I do it to bl ships too (anything MHA, supernatural or teen wolf related).
My only problem is because it's aimed at being an empowerment fantasy self inserts tend to have nlog characters who are antagonistic with other female characters. Noticed this a lot with villainess isekai stories even though ironically the entire reason the genre exists is because villainess in shoujos were unfairly terribly written kek.

I think anons have a hard time wrapping their heads around why the blob art exist. Everyone who has ever picked up a book or watched a movie knows that male children looking like a mini version of their dads is a commom trope. Usually when the trope bought up in fandom spaces it's mocked but the blob artist isn't doing anything with the trope. They aren't mocking it they aren't even going "unpopular opinion but i like this trope" they just acknowledge it exist. I think that's why it gives fetish vibes to some. Specially since many men on social media are paranoid that their wives are cheating on them and advocating that DNA tests on newborn should be mandatory (this is a huge thing on reddit). If the artist at least had tried to make this look more wholesome or something then it would be easier to see why this would appeal to fandom spaces but this just looks like it's made to appeal to moids who thinks wives are always cheating on their husbands. I highly doubt that is the artist's intention but I don't blame anons for thinking this is weird moid art

idk which posts exactly you're referring to, but I mentioned being in-character and exploring said character and canon in regards to het pairings not feeling like self-insert-y content. Self-insert stuff typically lacks that due to its focus being on the self (author or reader), regardless of if it's featuring an m/f, m/m, or f/f pairing. I'm not even into shipping, it's just basic storytelling.

feel like some anons are also getting caught up on the blob meme being focused on the father, when the same meme could be made about a mother and child (but then there'd be no point in the attempt at a joke with the paternity thing, since motherhood is rarely questioned in fiction, for obvious reasons).

KEK neither did I, I didn't think there were any romantic pairings in it at all. That's one of the things that bothers me a lot about modern fandoms—the fanon stuff people come up with completely takes over any discussion about a piece of media. Instead of talking about the themes or general love for the story, they try and twist it into something completely different to suit their tastes. This is how we've gotten shit like "kittyboy transmasc pre-op gay vash" fanart by the boatload and the near 100% focus on shipping instead of enjoying the characters as is.

Off-topic, but I despise the pop-fantasy trend of portraying archers as always physically weak fighters who only fight from a distance. As someone who has experience with archery, I know that being an effective archer requires significant upper body and arm strength. For example, my brother, who is bigger than me, can effortlessly draw a 75 lb recurve bow, whereas I struggle with it. However, in almost every modern popular depiction, the archer is depicted as a small, rail-thin person.

The infuriating thing about this is the fact that elves are meant to represent the peak of men. They are taller, stronger, and more beautiful than human men. They are also meant as a cautionary tale about the capacity of the great good and evil that men can do. Tolkien describing elves as being beautiful means that they were all attractive and young, as a means to describe their perfection. Despite that, elves were able to "pass" as humans, they just seemed like tall, handsome men.
There's a really tragic story by Abataa about an elf warrior prince Aegnor, who fell in love with a human woman, Andreth, and he wanted to live a life with her. However, she started growing old (he still loved her nonetheless), but then she passed away, and he remained young, giving up everything in his life, his title, his kingdom, and life - until they were reunited after death. The story is part of a broader story with themem about how men and elves are one race that have more in common with each other

the fanfic youdescribed seems inspired by tolkien's own "Athrabeth Finrod ah
Andreth" in HoME vol. 10 (Morgoth's Ring) in which Andreth has a philosphical debate with Aegnor's brother about mortality and the differences between elves and men. Aegnor's canon fate is different: he doesn't give up his titles of anything (nor does he have a kingdom) but he dies in battle early, possibly before andreth herslef dies. the story wasn't included in the silmarillion but it can be found in supplementary volumes and is a fan favourite that spawnned a lot of fic/art. it also explains a lot about tolkien's idea of elves and mortality. highly recommended.

It's really nice when they're actually their own two people that have lived experiences together and actual chemistry that are not boy meet girl and girl meet boy.

Fujos probably flocked to it even though the characters were ugly because being brothers made it "spicy", and each pair had a different dynamic so there was "something for everyone" if you were into that. 2015 was when I noticed the fandom purity discourse kicked off, so it probably emboldened "problematic shippers" to be more edgy for attention.

That's irrelevant, if anything Osomatsu-san is definitely for Japanese adults who grew up watching Osomatsu-kun long ago and who can now relate to these jobless losers' problems. It's nostalgia bait. If Gamefreak and the Pokemon Company agreed to release an original anime about Red and Blue's adult lives as boring office workers going on wacky adventures with dick jokes every ten seconds it wouldn't be for today's kids, it would be for adult fans who were kids in the 90s because of nostalgia bait.

He could be Indian, Indonesian, black, or just a dark-skinned Japanese person. My point is that anime characters drawn in one of the "default" manga styles can never represent actual human races. Take Yoruichi from bleach for e.g. Since her debut, fans have debated whether she is black or Indian, but she was always meant to be just a dark-skinned Japanese woman and this happens a lot with character's who are simply meant to be dark-skinned Japanese/ryukyuan people and that's why I think validate creators(as well as western oteme creators in general) are fucking morons.

Because yume for some reason gets translated as regular hetshipper even though they couldn't be more different. A yume is a self-shipper and even though some might self-insert on specific female characters they find relatable, it's not an universal thing and it doesn't apply to every female character. I would say that most authentic yumes tend to stay in their own lane because of the stigma attached to it and they only fight fujos when they feel actually cornered, other than that I rarely see them sperging over BL ships. Back then a lot of mary sue accusations actually came from closeted yumes who had a crush on a male character that was taken by another female character, it was just a way of dealing with jealousy. The funny part is that they were fighting with hetshippers more than you'd think cause hetshippers would usually defend their girl. And I'm not making this up, I've literally witnessed it myself multiple times

It's really interesting how much the perceptions of Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon have been drastically changed. The perception of Zack Snyder was that he made movies for "dude-bros" and he was considered a "douche jock," often compared to someone like Joss Whedon, who was thought to make media that was truly feminist. However, recent events have caused people to reevaluate those opinions. Joss Whedon was revealed to have cheated on his wife constantly and was abusive to the cast of Buffy and Angel. People also noticed a lot lot pervy stuff of his female characters. On the other hand, Zack Snyder had smaller events that contributed to the shift in perception. He defend Ray Fisher when he called out racism on the Justice League set, cast diverse actors in his movies, publicly disowned an alt-right grifter podcast, and more recently defended Amber Heard. These events made people reconsider their preconceived notions.

Monster High sucks so much ass nowadays.

(Kind of funny when I clearly remember adult fan spaces during G1 being filled with weeby/goth women who created original characters to ship and conjure up imaginary drama with, and gay men. Not the genderfluid, nonbinary females that make up a majority of the fanbase now who seem to be scared of anything that's more adult than the Bluey miscarriage hinting episode.)

You're clearly a tumblr refugee. Don't act like them shoehorning in random gay couples and then making one of the former boyfriends asexual isn't pandering nonsense.

Speaking of Monster High I hate that they made Catty Noir into Fatty Noir. Very smart decision for a fashion doll… making one a fat-ass so you can't even exchange clothes with the other fashion dolls. Of course the Monster High community celebrates this because the old bodies gave 7 year olds anorexia even though Monster High fans in 2010 rejected this notion… how did the old dolls promote anorexia but this doll doesn't promote fatassery?

also this is hilarious because thats the sexist belief i was complaining about. Considering that the modern LGBT movement MH is pandering too is extremely sexist it doesnt surprise me they turned the only non boy crazy character into a lesbian.

No. 1899068

In the doll diaries, probably the closest real canon G1 Monster High will ever have, Clawdeen has stated that she didn't have time for one boy because she likes flirting with them all too much. Can you weirdo "lesbian Clawdeen" truthers give it up.
So in a way Clawdeen is a much more realistic representation of the average zoomer woman calling herself a lesbian; IE she's not a lesbian and never was and she flirts with boys kek.

Taika Waititi had a similar (and even swifter) downfall. First, the RWers hated him cause of Thor:Love and Thunder (wokies still praised him out of spite). Then, other details started being revealed, such as his very public affairs with much younger women while his then-wife remained in New Zealand, looking after their kids. People also thought some elements of his previous work were tasteless. The straw that broke the camel's back was his desire to have the hostages returned and his condemnation of Hamas (even though it was the least awful thing he had ever done). Now, he is more or less cancelled, which is honestly good to see.

Zach cheated on his first wife as well in 1996 when he was working on a commercial. He met Deborah Johnson, an established producer(both had spouses and kids). She handpicked him for other work despite him having no other credentials. She has been a producer for pretty much all of his films, and it is speculated that she was the driving force behind his both in his early work and keeping him on WB after MoS. I don't know how much of their relationship was based on love or lust (they are still married), but it doesn't change the fact that Zach essentially slept his way into his position.

So, I watched Netflix's Live Action Avatar and there were probably thousands things I disliked that I could get into. However, one thing that felt most egregious was the characterization of Sokka and Katara. So, yeah, they did remove Sokka's early season sexism, but they also took away his goofiness and incompetence. He now takes on the full responsibility of the village and is actually a good guardian. He's also serious and brooding most of the time (effectively turning him into a Sasuke). This lack of characterization also reduces Katara's role because she doesn't have anyone to rant against. I don't have any idea why this was done, cause they are effectively different characters.

There are no threatening or asshole characters anywhere to be found. Zhao is a peacock whose menace is undercut every five seconds. Azula is already cracking under the pressure of trying to be perfect for her dad. Even Hahn, Yue’s asshole betrothed, is turned into Sokka’s totally understanding bro instead of a chauvinist who calls him a hick to his face. The dialogue is also MCU “erm he’s right behind me isn’t he” levels of cringe. Zuko is good though, he hits that midpoint of a sulky spoiled prince and an awkward, hurting kid really well. Who would have ever thought in 2005 that Nickelodeon’s silly little fake anime show would become a pop culture phenomenon that two studios would throw millions of dollars at trying to replicate and still never surpass the original?

The way they handled the romance was so utterly retarded. Sokka is more stoic and isn't a goofball anymore, so he doesn't pursue any female character romantically, instead they have the female character peruse him first, Suki basically becomes an obsessive stalker after seeing him shirtless once. To a lesser extent this happens with Yue as well. That said, I do find it more retarded that progressives are getting mad at the show for "objectifying" him

you can blame streaming for this, Most animated shows typically ran for about 3 to 4 seasons, approximately 52 to 65 episodes(although there are a few exceptions). This practice is based on the old syndication system, where networks would order 52 episodes in order to license the show for reruns on other channels. This is how we ended up with some rather experimental shows like Courage the cowardly dog and Ren and Stimpy, but also the popular action shows of the 2000's like Teen Titans and Kim Possible.
Streaming killed this system, and so now modern animated cartoons have 1 or 2 seasons before being cancelled.

>Many BL fans also like hetero stuff specially if they can self insert
>specially if they can self insert
From what I've seen with friends irl and online who are fujoshi that's usually the reverse. They'd rather have a female main character who's relatable without being a self-insert.

Chinese yumes being unhinged cunts with anger issues like always, what else is new. Everyone supporting this totally based pro-woman game will forget about it in 3 months and refuse to take part in any community event because they can't handle seeing their imaginary boyfriend hold another woman and then they will whine about there "not being enough het content".

>>1901417
Nobody was asking changes to be made to the game itself, people took offense to fanart with BL elements being banned because it's a game from a country where creating homosexual content sending you to jail and thus an indicator of conforming to anti-human rights laws even in international spaces. Actual pathetic insecurity not to be able to handle some occasional bishounen shipping.

the weird thing i've seen in yume fandom is that some of them get mad if another yume selfships with their husbando but they also seem to easily ignore the actual canon love interest (if they have one) of their husbando

What haven't they thrown a shitfit over? They're the kind of people who are completely detached from reality and will have a genuine mental breakdown with long lasting emotional trauma if their husbando of choice even so much as talks to a male or a female character. They're spoiled little empresses of their family from the era of the one child policy, it's not like they are used to not getting what they want. They're so mentally ill they almost make me feel bad for the scrote vtubers who were made to pander to them and then bear the extremes of their parasocial obsession.

sokka still has goofy moments, but it's true that he's less of a comedic relief and he's taken more seriously instead. katara's personality is quite different, but this is one thing that i don't mind because i could never vibe with katara's personality in the og series kek also people are mad cause this katara is learning to waterbend too fast, when this was the same fucking problem with animation katara. she started from nothing and in just a few months she was able to master waterbending, learn martial arts and could hold herself against zuko… how does this even make sense. azula however really bothers me, the actress looks NOTHING like her and she doesn't read like a heartless irredeemable sociopath anymore
there was no kataang romance either, which is pretty neat cause that ship is garbage fire. i feel like people are way too attached to the characterization in the og show and think that everything is absolutely perfect, but ATLA actually struggles a lot with romance for instance

Maybe it's because I only really have a husbando because the game forces you to self insert (like, literally the protagonist doesn't even have a name) and he's kind of niche and I'm a fujo, but I get really excited when someone has the same husbando as me so I never got people getting upset over it.

Honestly self inserting makes me cringe to much to enjoy, I feel like a delusional goblin. I need several layers of reality between me and my fav. Yume nonnas are strong.

Honestly, I think they did a great job with translating some of the characters on screen in the movie. Yue being one of them. I'm laughing so hard that even though that movie is terrible, I think more people will go back to watch it because everything Netflix does is cheap garbage. This is why pandering doesn't work. Removing a core part of Sokka's personal issues ruined him.

Because it's hard to buy your husbandos' merchs when most of them are gacha. When you have to have to go to Animate or whatever similar store to get a keychain of your husbando (or waifu, it still applies) and you have to buy one without knowing which character you'll get you have to collaborate with other fans, trade in front of the store with other fans, sell what you don't want to other fans online, and if they're merchs that are only sold during one specific time limited event you have to work even harder to trade with other fans and second hand merchs can become super expensive. So the best thing to do is to meet up with fellow fanswith the same husbandos, unite your merchs to take the most ridiculous and expensive pictures known to mankind, and make friends who will later send you a shit ton of fanarts of your shared husbando. The thing about merchs also applies to fujoshi because they usually tend to want matching badges, charms, keychains, figurines, etc. to the point when they'll even order too much food and drinks in collab cafes if they're referencing their OTP. Fujoshi and yumejoshi really aren't that different in Japan when it comes to being consoomers.

I'm the reverse of this, bothered by canon LIs but don't care about fan-made ones. The latter is much easier to ignore and they usually fantasize about my husbando differently anyway so it can be considered separate universes.

I'm so happy to see Western fans finally realising that changing characters is actually annoying to fans of the source material.
They altered or added new scenes which makes characters come off differently or just fundamentally changes characters.
>Roku is now goofy for some reason
>Too much emphasis on Kyoshi even though Roku is supposed to be Aang's mentor. I've been getting annoyed by the Kyoshi worship going on (omg tall bisexual 200 year old goddess) as much as I love her
>Zuko fought his dad and decided not to blast him when in the cartoon he was begging for his dad's forgiveness.
>Why is Suki weirdly obsessed with Sokka
>Azula looked worried during the fight between Zuko and Ozai despite her originally being gleeful when her brother was getting publicly humiliated in a death trial.
>Not showing anything and having too much exposition.
