No. 1924356
>>1924296Every yaoi girl I knew back in the 2000s is now some flavor of tif. Every single one. Most of them transitioned in the early 2010s. Some have detransitioned. There was definitely a yaoi tif boom.
Also, there are definitely Japanese tifs but they're lesbians, not fujos. Lesbians hate themselves over there but fujos do not. Japan is a fujo-positive society where fujos live fulfilling lives and do not need to transition. Most Japanese fujos will go their whole lives without ever meeting a gay man. So they never have that moment of cognitive dissonance where they realize gay men are human. They never have to wonder whether fantasizing about gay men raping each other is possibly homophobic. So they don't need to transition in order to relieve the cognitive dissonance the way Western fujos do.
I know this isn't the place to discuss homophobia against males. I only care because homophobia against males always ends up negatively effecting lesbians, too.

All of this seems cope from a woman with internalized misogyny. The average, real woman is already an idealized idea of a woman. We are forced to shave, dress nicely, smell nice, be fit, etc to be consumable objects for moids. Yaoi boys just live in a world where moids are held to the same standars as women. That doesn't make them women, but pickmes like

>>1924283Alright, let's not discuss any aspects of specially male shipping, but there is an interesting observation she made about women who read and write fan-fiction in general. While people who read and write fan-fiction will be a minority of the general population, they will be slightly more represented in academia and journalism. This is because reading that much requires a level of patience and intelligence, but also neuroticism. Neuroticism isn't a bad thing per se, a lot of intellectual people are neurotics. Also this poor normie woman had to read both ABO shit and the worst types of het stuff, so give her a break.

This is blogging on my part (and it will sound beyond stupid) but liking yaoi as a teenager is one of the things that saved me from becoming a gendie. Basically, I saw that only women (and mostly straight ones) liked yaoi like me, so my stupid 14 yo ass connected the dots and felt relieved that it's a woman thing that has like a 99% female demographic.
In general, fandom women (and not just some fujoshi) saved me from feeling alienated by other girls… anyone else ever felt in this situation?(fujo derail)
No. 1924602
>>1924590The only thing yaoi did to me as a teen was make me feel comfortable with being a tomboy and accept my attraction to women but that was just me flocking to a thing that already represented what I was feeling at that time.
I'm not into yaoi anymore though. It's been many years since.
No. 1924611
>>1924590It did that for me too since I was a closted lesbian and felt way too uncomfortable reading moid drawn yuri and wanted more nuanced and better written stories so I picked up yaoi
and ai no kusabi was the first anime I watched on YouTube kek the mid 2000s fujo scene was so comfy and fun countless fan translations nonas ripping obscure yaoi vns,bl cds,fan fictions and making art it was all so fun to engage in but not even once I self inserted myself into the uke nor questioned my gender. I only had a gendie phase when I was told I was abnormal for being a women who liked women so i assumed then maybe if i turn into a man that would mean I'm normal i woke up real quick when I realized I was being retarded and I can be a women liking women.most nonnas seem to forget that most tifs are gay so it's internalised homophobia that affects them and fucked societal pressures on women that makes them confused over their gender not fucking 2d drawn men fucking each other
No. 1924643
>>1924611I wish that happened to me, I'm a lesbian as well and seeing two guys going at it does nothing to me, so since the majority of women and female spaces in fandom are mostly about yaoi or male characters for obvious reasons, I have always felt alienated. I find very hard to connect to other women in fandom due to not caring much about men.
There are m/m ships and male characters I enjoy, but they're never my favorites. Thanks to them I'm able to connect a bit with other women, but it's still very lonely and it's just not the same (plus most of my followers ended up being moids since I talk/draw female characters a lot, I wish I could post dicks here and there to shoo them away kek).
I'm glad it helped the majority of women to find a space though. I hope TIFs aren't runing it too much.
No. 1924650
>>1924596AYRT Personally I was talking about the alienation I felt IRL. That said, I loved magical girls anime but at the same time I figured out that most online fans were perverted males and that you'd run across porn of the magical girls sooner or later, so sadly I avoided it until I grew a little older. Moids strike again tbh.
>>1924602>>1924611Yeah, that all makes sense to me. Even if yaoi is about men, it's still a genre for women and by women, so if back then lesbian teenage girls would rather read yaoi than moidy yuri it was understandable. Also in terms of anime it was even worse afaik: there were a few exceptions but most yuri anime was for moids. Gravitation, Yami No Matsuei, etc, all those popular early 2000s yaoi must have been a superior option for homosexual anime romance than some 80s OVA with mecha and "lesbian" school girls…
>>1924617It's true and also you reminded me just how ever changing the fandom rules of trans people are. Like you said, liking yaoi was bad and for lame women so omg only bara is for us heckin real men. Nowdays on the other hand liking any kind of fandom romance (but especially gay ones) is a sign you're just a smol egg. Propaganda at its finest honestly. I wonder how things will change once again in 3 years…
>>1924631In general fandom puts so much scrutiny over what women do… and I don't even mean shit like liking shota: If you step into male or general spaces you'll see het shippers get called insane and fanfiction gets mocked to hell and back.
Idk how fujos got at the bottom of the fandom bullying pyramid scheme though. In Japan the term fujoshi was coined by male otaku who hated them and hated yaoi, so obviously it's some kind of misogyny. Plus some fujos are very sensitive and tend to overreact which makes them perfect for bullies.

>>1924283I wonder how she'd respond to something like the moid fandom and preoccupation with characters like Astolfo. A dude with a girl's face, hair, and clothes. Sometimes he gets drawn as having broad chest and lean muscle mass with a huge schlong. Sometimes he gets drawn with a small dick and soft gestures with wide hips making him almost entirely female-coded besides the penis. All the while moids try to draw the line on how gay all of this is.
My take is we are observing the spectrum of autogynephilia and how it is experienced subconsciously (how many are truly aware of what they are doing when they choose how this character is drawn-no clue).

>>1924669Interesting analysis, anon. I'd also like to add that human sexuality is a spectrum, and I don't mean it in the retarded gendie way. If you go onto a website like rule34 and look up the porn that gets made for any particular series. For just one cartoon you'll find people drawing yaoi-style gay, bara-style gay, lolis, adult aged females with massive mommy milkers, aliens, tentacles, robots, and then some good old fashioned heterosexual sex with appropriately sized body parts. I think it's fascinating to observe the entire range of human sexuality on display by what porn people draw.

>>1928330Bad things are fine as long as no one points them out. If one of their friends turned on them they would probably use it to say something like "I've always known they're a freak because they shipped xy!!". But you can also say it's you coping with your own abuse or that you're "highly critical" of it.
Like, there was this artist that got dogpiled for drawing Hazbin characters pale, especially because Alastor is supposed to be black(?) but on the same day another artist posted a genderbent Alastor that was white and didn't get a single negative comment about it despite also receiving around 16k likes.

No. 1928411
>>1928330Sometimes this is because they've decided one or both members of a pairing are 'unacceptable targets' in their heads. So, sticking with your example, bakudeku is bad and unacceptable not necessarily because of their dynamic and issues, but because Deku is a perfect delicate cinnamon roll who can't be harmed and is who the person complaining about the ship being
toxic and
problematic probably fixates on or relates to the most (especially if they kin them kek). It's been talked about here before, but a lot of these fandom hypocritical crusaders often attach themselves too heavily to a given character and view 'harm' to the character as being harm to themselves. The key to having fun with all forms of fiction is keeping enough distance that you don't feel personally affected when something bad happens to a character, but invested enough that you still empathise with and feel the stakes/emotions the story is offering.
Some people also have (what can feel) weird priorities when it comes to morals in fiction– that's how you get the whole 'bakugo can't be shipped with deku because he was his bully' thing while they ship deku with one of the actual villains or something, because getting bullied is more relatable than getting brutalised by a nefarious literal supervillain.

This often comes up with characters who are said to have Romani Heritage, as we talked about in the Twitter hate thread, they seem to believe that there are only four races in the world: white, black, Asians and 'brown' people and anyone outside that distinction (such as picrel) can't possibly exist.

>What is known includes insinuations that he was physically abused by his parents while growing up and has a hatred for people with "high moral concepts" who feel they are better than people like Black, who would do anything to survive. This hatred included superheroes who would only turn over captured villains to the police instead of killing them, which was the only way Manchester and the Elite felt villains could be dealt with.

When you are introduced to him all you know is that he's a ruthless prosecutor who's ridicously racist towards the japanese. Of course, since the very first moments you see him, the game implies there's more to his prejudice and, through the story, not only you learn about his benevolent nature but you actually see him become less and less of a racist also because the protagonist and his assistant are willing to help and listen to him, culminating with his apology and his will to become better.
However, despite the game making a big deal about how people change and how they can change for the better, a bunch of more extreme fans in the west think he's unforgivable and irredeemable and make it so being racist is all there is to him.
Funniest thing about this whole deal? In Japan, the country of the people he hates so much at first, he's been voted third most popular character in the game.

I feel like it started out with normals being really, really insecure about liking cartoons/anime etc. So began adding meaning or overemphasizing some plot point to make it seem deeper than it actually is. But insecure people like this who need to justify their hobbies also tend to be the biggest assholes. So over the years they've taken over the mic and declared themselves as "leaders" of fandoms and pop culture. And the algorithm rewards these screeching controversial banshees so they feel extra validated on their asshole behaviors.
Not that anime/cartoons and vidya can't have meaningful plots, but you will still be considered a nerd or a dork for liking these things (with or without the 2deep4u themes). A well adjusted person won't give a shit and enjoy life; but the normalfag will shudder at the thought of some wanna-be chad making fun of them resulting in their erratic behavior.

I posted this in /m/ a while back, but I want to drop it in this thread because I think it fits here, too. I'm so, so tired of seeing canonically gay or lesbian characters being """headcanoned""" as straight troons. Or even straight couples portrayed as "T4T" for that matter, like the artists feel ashamed of liking a straight ship and therefore feel the need to troon the characters to signal that they're woke.
I'm tired of getting jumpscared with untagged PIV in same-sex pairing tags when I'm looking at ao3. And you're not allowed to push back against anyone's troon headcanons no matter how nonsensical (or even offensive sometimes) they are. You'll be watching a live action show where a character is played by a natal male actor and is shown shirtless, then you look at fanart and it's an avalanche of titchop scars. I've seen IPs where they literally show characters being born and growing up with no sign of transitioning still be headcanoned as trans. I've seen characters who are literally described as white in canon be drawn black. Headcanons used to involve people using actual logic to fill in gaps of information not provided by the canon narrative; things like the sort of music the character listens to, their height, etc. Now it's just another platform for virtue-signalling, an arms race to see who can have the most diverse, fashion-statement headcanons. It's a ritual that also involves denigrating anyone who draws the characters logically based on canon as "boring." There's no love for the source material anymore, to their point where you have to wonder why the fuck these people even consider themselves fans in the first place. To them, the characters are either vehicles for their ideology, and/or a blank slate they can project all their own shitty traits onto.
Internet politics and the over-commodification of IPs has ruined fandom culture, full stop. I miss when fandoms were cringey and irreverent.

people who hc live action characters should be publicly shamed. if i was an actress and my character had only fanworks displaying her as a tranny of sorts i'd shoot myself. you see the body of a normal, healthy human and your first instict is to pretend that human is the opposite sex. it's so bad when they do so based on stereotypes (a short man, a buff woman, etc.), that will only drive more people to troon out!

One of the best m/m fic authors in my fandom has transitioned, wouldn't care at all, if it weren't for the fact she's gone back and rewritten all of her explicit fics to be m/tif instead. Oh and she hasn't tagged any of these changes or made any authors notes mentioning them. The only differences are that any mention of his dick is replaced with a strap and when he's bottoming it's some weird euphamistic language like "folds" or "valley". The vast vast majority of fic readers are women (and a lot of them are fujocoomers) so I really don't know what she was hoping to achieve by stealth editing an existing work instead of republishing it or even adding it to the tags.

>>1931251 could have been a text post but its an image to give illusion of effort. "I cannot understand why racist, fascist and homophobic people read stories with queer anti-racist themes, with lessons of equality and love". But that's too regular, isn't it? So this person thought what a good idea it would be to change this into a picture, because who doesn't love visuals? This person is neither a talented artist nor a talented writer, so in what way will he/she make him/herself sound more interesting and gain more online recognition? By making it relatable, is the answer. Bro literally drew a stickman but made it more humanoid and added a face on it, because who gives a shit about legs, really? We don't need them to convey a person's expression, a face is enough. And there has to be an inside joke line of course. By a inside joke line, I mean the "oh boy, I sure love these pieces of media" which I assume is a line they stole from Tom and Jerry. At least, one guy stole that from Tom and Jerry and the others parrot it as that's what has happened with language since the dawn of time. And there's also the animes he/she is talking about, but they're badly drawn. However, people who are in her circles or the people who have good enough pattern recognition know what she's (fuck it, I decided it's a girl now) referring to. And she's also talking about a heated issue (racism! homophobia! fascism! how tragic!) people will react emotionally to it. Oh. And because people like being included in things, by "getting" what she means, their natural desire to connect with others will be unconsciously
triggered and thus they will like or share or subscribe blah blah. It's a smart tactic. People like "getting" it.

Idk if this is a better fit for the celebrity thread, but I feel like I'm the only person under 35 who's fucking appalled by the way fans (or I guess former fans) treated Noah Schnapp, a gay jew, for being a Zionist. I saw so many violent threats against him out in the open on Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. People circulating a fake article about him dying in a freak accident. It's insane, because before October last year, the fans were fiercely protective of him and proselytized Will/Mike shipping constantly. I know he's a scrote, but I feel genuinely bad for him. If thousands of people were willing me to die when I was 20, I probably would've had an emotional breakdown. Like why do fans even care what his stance on the middle east is? He's not a fucking politician, he plays a gay nerd in a sci-fi horror show.
I'm generally more sympathetic to the Palestinian civilians, but it's annoying that people think "Zionist" automatically equals "Netanyahu supporter." Zionism is just the belief that Jews need sovereign representation to protect them from atrocities. That's literally all it is. The fact that he actually capitulated to a harassment campaign full of violent threats and apologized for his opinion pisses me off. He shouldn't apologize for supporting the mere existence of a country he has a personal religious connection to. He can disapprove of the government's conduct without wanting the place where he had his bar mitzvah wiped off the map. I despise Netanyahu, I think he's evil and I'm furious at the wanton killing of civilians. But I don't think Zionism is evil, and I certainly don't think Jews should be threatened with death just for wanting a fucking homeland. Christ.
It's just another example of politics ruining fandom. I'm tired of this, it's sociopathic and entitled. People need to remember how to casually enjoy shit without shoehorning their politics into it or forming parasocial relationships with the people who work on it.

So many actually serious current issues relating to women that they could talk about but instead they choose to hyperfixate on dumb shit like this.
Imagine trying to control women and tell them to not read female erotica and generalize all erotica but then call yourself a feminist when you share the same views as a puritan christian or a radical muslim.
I guess i should not be surprised since these are the same group of people who get exposed for collabing or being friends with anti-abortion organizations/people.
Actual women rights are not a priority for many radfems who are now converting into becoming right-wing tradthots which is why all they do is talk about the LGBT or what women should read.

So many time i have read these degens call their shit ''femgaze uwu'' no, it's not, you retard. It's as femgaze as shit like Poor Things is feminist. They are insufferable and i fucking hate them.

It had small monthly threads on 4chan, and crazy enough the shipping was almost nonexistent for a good while.

With people just bitching out about characters, how they were autistic, lesbian, pickme, gay, too ugly, hetshipping, literally me, actually trans.

Having a bear on your flag is way more interesting and memorable than whatever this is and to keep it related to fandom, it's infecting fictional media, treating the 'rules of flag design' as fucking gospel, and declaring that if a fictional flag doesn't follow those guidelines, it's unrealistic, despite real-life empires and states having vastly intricate flags and banners.

I remember hearing a discussion about a new Carrie movie in nthe works with a TIM Carrie. I always thought that if you were going to insert trans shit, the best option would be to make Carrie a TIF since that would go with the themes of womanhood, plus TIFs are practically an afterthought when it comes to trans shit anyway hmm I wonder why. I would really want something like picrel, but it seems like it's not gonna happen.

>>1935531>>1935550Don't forget the entirety of the Qing dynasty. To keep this to the thread topic, there is occasional discourse about the lack of representation of the Qing period in Danmei and C-drama communities, these discussions often devolve into arguments about colonizers, the oppressed and even discussions about Euro-centric beauty standards. but the main reason there's less representation is that the Qing period was aesthetically was one of the worst times in Chinese history, so there's state enforced widespread use of the godawful manchu Queue hairstyle for men. but it goes beyond that, both men's and women's clothing during the Qing period were more rigid, less colorful, and lacked innovative designs. but then in later periods they tried to bring back more pomp from earlier Chinese dynasties while still keeping the original framework of Manchu clothing, so as not to dishonor the previous emperors, but this led to a weird aesthetic clash, as these clothing's were originally designed for goat herders in Manchuria.

>>1936366To add to this, wokies in historical c-media spaces are a small but growing issue. there are usually three common topics discussed, queer discourse, appropriation and 'lack of representation'. the latter reveals their ignorance and ironically western-centric perspective on race and ethnicity. In ancient china before contact with European nationalism there were no concepts of race as we think of it today. Instead people were categorized as civilized or non-civilized, with the chinese being seen as the most civilized and everyone else being considered backward savages, but this categorization was not based on race, If anyone adopted Chinese customs, such as dressing in Chinese clothing and following confucianism, they would be considered chinese. like half of China's founding dynasty emperors came from non-Han backgrounds.

It would've taken a five-second google search for him to find out that the "C" also stands for "centennial" because Colorado was made a state 100 years after the U.S. was founded. Also, Coloradoans actually use and wear the flag a lot, probably as much as Texans use theirs. But he put Ohio higher, even though their flag is ugly as hell, less commonly used, and has the exact same issue with having a letter on it. Colorado has a fantastic flag, Grey is a fuckwit who knows nothing about art.
He also just has the most retarded, ass-backwards take on why it's better to say "Indian" than it is to say "Native American." A non-idiot would have just said that it's an example of the euphemism treadmill and that the term is already in the names of government institutions, leaving it at that. But the rationale he used is that "Native American" is too vague, as if "Indian" isn't equally confusing in a country where more and more people are from the actual country of India. Dogshit logic, especially when iirc he uses the superior phrase "First Nations" in the goddamn video.

With the Netflix Avatar live action show a certain segment of fans have started coming out of the woodworks to talk about TlOK and how the only reason why it was getting hate was because of sexism and homophobia. The show was genuinely not that well written and retconned some established things. I’ve never seen a fandom make as many excuses as TLOK’s has for Bryke. They knew they were getting 3 more seasons and yet did fuck all establish Asami and Korea as even friends, their friendship was really badly written. Mako and Bolin are more or less irrelevant as the show went on.
It’s always telling how the best rated episode was Wang’s lol.

instead of just having fun and laughing people who posted dumb shit, you suddenly needed a goid moral reason ti be mad at them. they started to make it an exercise in wokeness. fandom and drama communities became less about "looks at this retarded fanfic" and more "omg this person said something ~
problematic so i can make fun of them and still be a good person!!"
which morphed into "omg this person said someyhing bad so we should all yell at them and if you dint take part in the dogpiling ur a bad person too!!"

in general i've noticed less and less consideration for the source material. people write fix-it fics where every conflict and character arc disappears bc conflict bad, they butcher chahracterisation, or they didn't even borther to read canon bc unu it's boring! there's also a massive uptick un AUs over canon-based fic

By which I mean, to that of the era when people in fandoms actually read literature unrelated to booktok and fandom for the pure enjoyment of it (and lack of TikTok and/or soft core pornographic fanfic dopamine addiction). It’s actually depressing. The average person might not have been a skilled author back then, but at least people knew how to write somewhat cohesively and with some basic thematic and narrative comprehensiveness.

People keep combing over ATLA and make analysis after analysis, yeah part of it is autism, but TLOK will never have something like that.
I’m convinced the whole thing was an accidental success. The lead writer who went off to make the dragon prince also couldn’t have his show live up to the success of ATLA. The post ATLA comics are a mess and the TLOK comics are also a mess. Everything we’ve gotten post ATLA has been a mess.

>>1931304What I've noticed was the rise of the porn without plot fics. Not saying shortfics and one-shot can't be good, but long fics with slow burns required a tiny bit more of skill and knowledge of the source material to write. PwP fics can be reduced to ship tropes and be repeated over and over without much thought. Pick the flavor of the week anime/game/series and tell me their fics aren't all the fucking same. When I see a ship that fits a specific trope, I immediately know how the fics will be.
Fandoms aren't about the media anymore, they are only about the characters. Fics are only about fucking the characters. It's bound to become generic, boring and repetitive. You can tell when a writer cares for the source material and when they just know a thing or two about it. I'm tired of the same repetitive tropes and ship dynamics.
>>1939927And their obsession with daddy dom shit. They take the most vanilla character on earth and suddenly he is tying someone with a chain to a wall like some yandere simulator. Ofc we always had shitty fics like this, but they didn't dominate the whole thing. I tried looking at smutty fanfics for a character and couldn't find a single one of him in character after 10 fucking pages. It's honestly not too different from the porn I've seen males create. When the characters as just skins they applied to a porn setting. Their personalities and stories don't matter, It's just them fucking and repeating porn stars phrases with ahegao faces and giant boobs.

>>1939810I feel your pain, but it's definitely worse in some fandoms than others. I find that fandoms that attract a more niche audience and therefore writers tend to have better quality-written fics on average, and that niche doesn't even have to be a very small one– an example would be ones that overlap with the interests of people into classics and period pieces, in my experience they tend to have more fics that read like an actual novel (within those styles/genres) than more generic or FOTM fandoms, as those can become quagmire of badly written nonsense.
An older average age for authors can also help, but younger writers can still make something good enough through sheer passion and effort alone, so I don't like blaming the quality slippage on youth alone– besides, there's a large chunk of women in their 30s who only read YA schlock (or other similarly written fast fiction), and if that's all you read, that's going to be how you write.
If the fanfic is almost exclusively smut then that's also usually a bad sign (slight aside, but does anyone else feel like a fandom devolving into only smut is the death knell for its fanfic content?), whereas lower ratings for ship fics or higher numbers of gen fic seem to correlate with a more balanced level of quality.
I dunno, sorry for the ramble, I think there's a lot of different factors at play, but the biggest ones are definitely what the source material is/who it attracts, and the fact that a lot of people's experience with writing is either mostly fanfic or pulp that reads like mediocre (at best) fanfic. It's an interesting topic for sure though, frustrating as it is.
No. 1940591
>>1939810No one knows how to write anymore. It's extremely frustrating. When there used to be two characters from the same series together, even if they were doing something kind of ooc, they didn't speak like it. They still interacted as they would as those characters. I've read a lot of AUs in my days from 2002-2018ish and you can see the degradation of fanfiction. No one is creative as they used to me. They are hyper focusing on diversity and inclusion, so every fic is turning into trannygenda and politics, even when it has nothing to do with a fandom. It's all so exhausting. I have never in my entire life read about tranny stuff in fics (since I only read fujo/BL stuff) until recently. I avoided it because of tags, now people dont even tag their shit anymore.
I feel like the best writers are hiding out or just abandoned their fics all together.

So, is there even a term for this? because I see it happening way too often in modern western comics.
Basically, what happens is that writers who are hired for specific properties(like some random comic book character or some tie-in stuff) end up using the story to showcase their super cool OCs and barely focus on the actual characters they are supposed to write. The most notorious and successful example of this is with Ken Penders. He was a frequent writer on the Sonic comics, but instead of staying true to the Sonic story, he would use those comics as a platform to tell his own rejected sci-fi stories(one of them was a story where Native Americans got hold of sci-fi technology and became Nazis). He was smart enough to have these stories be spin-off tales, essentially making them an "expanded backstory" for Knuckles.

>>1940677It's because it was the 90's and Sega didn't bother to keep a close eye on whatever was happening in the american comics, the last thing they expected was literal nazi echidnas and allusions to the JFK assassination (yes, this happened, even though I don't think it was Ken Penders who did this). Sega got so mad they reseted the comic and put down a list of rules that the comics had to follow as to prevent further autism.

>>1940926>>1940915So, all of this goes back to Ken Penders. There were other writers involved with the Sonic comics, but he was the most prolific and well-known because he wrote the most issues and he had a habit of including more "mature themes" in the Sonic comics, such as an assassination plot and framing the struggle against Eggman as a Vietnam-like situation. But with the Knuckle comics, he had the freedom to create the sci-fi Native American story he always wanted to write. So one of the main antagonists of this series was the "Echidna Dark Legion" a group of technophile Nazi Echidnas who wanted to use technology to conquer the world and In 2009 Sega of America published a game for the DS, which also featured a group of Echidnas who wanted to use technology to conquer the world. Ken thought Sega of America was plagiarizing his work(you can compare the two designs if you think it was accurate), and the legal proceedings lasted for half a decade until it was settled that he got to keep all the characters he ever created, If anyone ever used them, they had to pay. Then the Sonic comics had an event where they ended the entire universe and the property was sold to another comic studio.

Isn't it common practice to format a fic in ways that make sense like maybe a novel if you're going for that vibe? I haven't read much in 10 years, but the last book I read was a mix of two and three.
and as a writer myself, it'a a mixture of all the above. Use the tools given. And if one style works stick with it. There's no one way to format a fic since it's a free medium for crying out loud. Publishers aren't gonna bash down their door and force them change it.

This character is Scourge, who Penders initially just created as an evil alternate version of Sonic that esd easily defeated in one issue. a few years later another writer, patrick spaziante, turned him into an overconfident edgelord who gets his shit kicked in, but somehow it worked. Scourge has a fanbase of devoted male autists and fujos who long for his return to the Sonic comics, but Penders still retains ownership of him.

Definitely one of the coolest, if not the coolest, female character in the comics right now—and the IDW run ended up with a good amount of great female characters. I legitimately love her storyline and personality so far. She is a far cry from the Archie comics' treatment of female characters only being there to pair with existing male characters for drama. It's legitimately nice to see her and a few other IDW characters being canonized/mentioned in Frontiers, and playable in Sonic Forces Speed Battle.

Misandry won't dissuade troons besides the "hating men is a

The fandom troons are the yuri purist transbians who tweet about misandry and yuri not having enough content because of misogyny etc. You're never going to drive away trannies from fandoms no matter what you do because handmaidens and troons outnumber us anyway, the only thing that's kryptonite to them is very female stuff like yaoi/otomeshit.

I believe that for any form of media to truly excel(whether it be art, literature, comics, or even memes) it requires a either pure talent, a solid understanding of the fundamentals or an element of sheer insanity. This is why I think fandoms often struggle to produce original content that spreads outside, as they often resort to creating copies of copies, on the other hand this is why niche right-wing memes tend to gain traction and have a greater impact because they compensate for any lack of originality with genuine madness. For instance, this particular meme recently became popular on fandom Twitter, at first as a joke but then people started posted it unironically.
