I'm deciding that bjds count as a Fandom. A lot of whining about blind box dolls from Amazon flooding the hobby on reddit and IG, and the usual "why are you so mean to ppl????" hand wringing on the one Tumblr confession blog left. Most doll owners seem to either like the blind box dolls or are neutral towards them. Personally, I think they're just another way to sell plastic junk.

Heard that a live action movie version of Tangled is confirmed, and honestly I'm hoping they make her white. People online spew the vile shit just because Disney changed the color of a cartoon's skin for free advertising. Making Ariel black made them go insane I can't imagine what will happen if they make Rapunzel black or Indian please just make her a blue eyed blonde white girl

Even better if it was an animated film. Maybe Im just a hater for live action films but honestly all these retellings wouldve benefited from being animated in the first place, even if it was in 3D. I hate how generic and boring big hollywood has become, everything has to be based off a pre existing concept or series nowadays.

>>2326502it would be neat if they managed to incorporate hair oil into it. What if instead of rapunzle being born with blessed hair from a sundrop flower, the sun drop flower is created into a concentrated oil that must be reapplied onto her hair to maintain the healing powers.
There could be more cultural elements that could be influenced, such as a different plant to replace the rapunzle plants that grew in the witch's gardens in the og fairytale, but the first thing that came to my mind was hair oil

Mother Gothel could use gaslighting and distractions to suppress her memory of the event. Flynn Rider could be connected as a thief who wants to steal the healing oil formula but gets caught by Rapunzel.

If it doesn't, they can just blame it on blacks/indians not selling and use it as an excuse to have even less black and brown representation. Win/win on their side, but it's gotten so bad even black and brown people are begging they cast a blonde white girl so they don't have to catch more slack from Disney adults.

I'm struggling not to a-log so bad, as if her being voiced by a trans woman wasn't bad enough. There is one levelheaded comment that didn't immediately switch their stance after the TWAW responses in the whole comment section, and even then it's the most milquetoast acknowledgment of the game's obvious themes of workplace misogyny. I know that these men are pathologically unable of thinking beyond themselves and how things relate to their own identity, but their insensitivity and complete lack of tact astounds me. Every day I wake up and think that maybe the game was a mistake after all.
Inb4 "she's not a real person" I know that she's just a character, but her situation is such a terrifying reality for many women.

Male fandoms are so sad. Their favorite activities consist on powerscaling, posting "literally me" edits and drawing porn. Do they even process or create anything of value anymore?
I may shit on female fans sometimes but at least they do actually care for the media they consume beyond face value shit, they get truly truly invested. Just look at picrel, the MLP infection trend. This was a great fandom concept several women participated in, creating AUs and cool stuff, while male MLP fans were just jerking it to the ponies and being embarrassing. It's women making these hyper detailed analysis posts on characters, talking about their personal interactions, background and personalities while men be talking about who got the biggest dick or something. I'm actually proud of us, when women join a fandom it automatically gets better

>>2328704tbh I agree. I actually thought something similar when I was in the Homestuck fandom years ago. So much fan content was made primarily by female artists and they'd churn out some of the craziest and most interesting ideas and fanarts. Even simple stuff like pic related was so fun and cute to me. This was also before trooning out characters was a super common thing so it was a great time kek.
No. 2328754

All men do is coom and nothing else when before we had amazing gen fics that felt like earnest continuation of the source material. Is this why troons complain about the lack of f/f when all they could've done is just…make things? Making things isn't hard but I won't discredit the time and effort it makes to be good at art and writing.
This might sound blog but I use to be interesting in a stupid series of books from Japan that turned monsters into anime girls. After like some parts of it while hating the rest, I took what interest me and made something that most fans of those books wouldn't even dare explore like alternate sexualities, how women are treated, and obviously by burgeoning interest in monster boys kek.

I didn’t see the those men as human then, and I still don’t see men as human and dgaf. It died out now that the cast is old and fugly anyway.
Lotrips being the originator(?) of such batshit RPS behavior as “the actors aren’t allowed to reveal their hidden relationship / gay shipping because (label, film studio, etc) is homophobic and evil but they’re secretly sending us signs to tell us they’re totally dating for real!!” is pretty fucking funny though.

>>2330706NAYRT but I don't think that's the case, it's more that these books are by and for women. We generally don't want to see rape and violence because we're subjected to that all the time IRL. Men obsess over rape because it's the only way their incel shrimp dicks can get wet, and consensual sex makes them mad because it implies that other men can get laid by being normal.
IMO the lack of violence and McGuffin problems are a result of walking on eggshells around the PTSD transmasc watermelon emoji crowd, the only ones who read this slop. Their problems are mostly self inflicted and utterly retarded, and they're so self centered that they only read fiction that features their ideal self as the MC. So the 300 pages of absolutely fuck all happening really doesn't bother them, it's like reading an AU of their own lives.
The push for diversity backfires a lot because as

The editors and agents, who are often cows themselves, see the resulting shitshow and decide that the only way to avoid it is by making books even more inclusive and diverse and less

Normal people don't want to read 400 pages of navel gazing over nothing, so they don't. That means that the purity fanatics are the only audience, and they spend all their time doing background checks on the author to find something they can get mad about instead of buying the book.
I hope we go back to having more books written by actually good writers that understand why an original book can't be fanfiction, but until they stop catering to adult toddlers, we're going to have to put up with the same old slop.

No. 2331199
>>2330852That's literally the reason for a bunch of these witch hunts. None of the speds can agree on this. Some of them get off on self inserting as a sad liddle babby, some of them want to escape from the realities of life including any type of violence, some of them like the catharsis of revenge, some of them are terminal doormats who hate justice in any form. Now it's popular to parrot the opinion that goblins are Jews and orcs are black, so fantasy violence is in hot water.
There's literally no winning with them. It's like the homophobia retardation, where books with any mention of homophobia are seen as homophobic and attacking the gays, regardless of context, but books without homophobia erase the neverending pain of the homos, so we can't have either; but having only straight couples is a no-no too. I swear these idiots use The Onion to find the next big discourse because there's no way anyone can be dense enough to actually believe the bullshit they spew.
>>2331006Totally. There's a big emphasis on drawn out discussions in general. I especially hate the therapy speak, which also leaks into the consent thing you mentioned. I'm not a big fan of characters boning in books, but it's especially awful when they dedicate paragraphs to a PSA that makes it sound like the characters are being held at gunpoint and forced to fuck to prove a point.

I hate the recent mindset of "no hating anything ever" in fandoms. I would understand clowning someone who joins a fan community for a media only to shit on it constantly, but now a days the smallest criticism is labeled "hate" and not even sperging on your own social media account is considered acceptable. I find it downright narcissistic to expect all your twitter mutuals to always keep their mouth shut in fear of offending you, grow up

Hoyo releases the tamest male characters so as not to upset their incel fanbase, but males still find reasons to complain.

>>2332542Tbf anti rhetoric on tumblr was incredibly fucking annoying. People would try to dogpile people for liking and shipping “

You’d think people would’ve grown up by now and realized they can just keep scrolling and or block/mute. It’s a childish thing to complain about at this point.

>>2332556True, you'd get insulted by everyone no matter what you did, it ruined fandoms for me and in insight I wish I deleted my account as soon as I got fed up with this trend instead of staying just in case artists I liked would post more, which they didn't at all. I used to mindlessly scroll down my dashboard all day long instead of doing anything interesting or productive just to have my dashboard spammed with kinny bullshit and "Naoto is a transboy" discourse, I wish I could get that time back.
Speaking of kinning, it's not really a thing anymore, you say they're the proto DID havers with alters who are from Steven Universe or Voltron but I remember a lot of otherkins transitioning instead. It's like they either started treating their favorite characters as alters, treating them as "gender goals", calmed down and became normal, or just stopped using the internet in general.
No. 2332644
>>2332548Joke's on them. My favorite ships usually have at least one character that is in a much more popular but also non-canon BL ship. So if I want to hate on anything or anyone (which I don't because I have better things to do), it's those other ships.
I'm actually much more bothered by the rampant mischaracterisation of my faves than who they are shipped with. Now that's something I could rant about for ages.

Anyone else run into fandoms with weirdly high concentrations of degenerates? TF2 seems to and Osomastsu with todokaras comes to mind. It seems to me that the older the fandom is the more likely that the people who are sticking around are fixated on something weird as well as the source material. However todokaras was at the height of osomatsu-san's popularity, so maybe its something to with the media in question.

So recently the official account of Genshin Impact decided to put a brownoid into one of their most popular characters' birthday art. Without saying, a full blown civil war erupted, with many fujoshis not shying away from dropping N bombs while approving shippers call them racists while drawing pooner porn of them. Meanwhile, the japanese community has went full schizo and started sending death threats to the character, because the fanart with the brownoid was actually outsourced to South Korea. This escalated so much there's even a account posting clips of the brown character dying every day. It's become a mess, and while it has cooled down in three days since the post dropped the topic is still heated, given that leaks revealed more preferential treatment for the brownoid in the form of a bonus pose(racebait)

No. 2337143
>>2336965Japanese fandom is extremely gender segregated, normally in way such that stuff for women is in its own ghetto, with women’s content separated further into non-BL and BL.
Fujos will always use separate tags so BL fan works aren’t something you can come across accidentally. I remember seeing a drawing by a male otaku in response to fujos jokingly tagging artwork oneshota (it was sometimes used for pairings where the uke had that kind of ara ara oneesan vibe, I don’t get it either) featuring an oneshota couple dressed as ISIS executioners about to behead a tied up blindfolded fujoshi so there really is pushback when fujos don’t perfectly self quarantine.
So to be honest I think the seeming ‘well behaved’ nature of Japanese male otaku is probably because Japanese fujos are so self conscious about making sure that they’re as invisible to male otaku as possible. Though I’m unfamiliar with CN/KR fandom, maybe all these zoning rules are kept to just as heavily and men are still acting out.

If adopted sibling ships are irredeemably
problematic, anthro furry porn should be too. I know everyone else is talking about it but seriously how the fuck is furry porn not considered
problematic if you're not a zoophile why does your porn NEED to have animal features in it?? The standards of what is and isn't considered "proship" are fucking mindboggling.
All moids should have a grenade forcibly surgically implanted into their balls that detonates if they ever get a boner even once in their entire life. Ultimately, the most "wholesome" of moids is still infinitely more likely to be a rapist than some nerdy woman who likes
problematic ships.
The lack of moral nuance, along with the fact that most everyone in this debate is some flavor of gendie and has to ignore the overrepresentation of "amabs" in sexual violence statistics in order to maintain their TWAW worldview, means nobody on either side has anything valuable to contribute.

>>2338836> if you like some aspects of anthromorphism but dislike the insistence of dogfucker and animal bits, does that make one furry? Does watching some anime or drawing in an anime inspired art style make one a lolicon? As long as someone acts pretty normie or casual then they aren't, imo.This is something I think about too. I've always viewed it as
>individual into anthropomorphism =/= furry>individual into anime =/= weeabooI personally think an issue with general communities based on a common media and or concept is that there are cases, unfortunately common ones, wherein a person will go to far and attribute one's own interest as a concrete aspect of their personality and or identity and a lot of the time, these issues that we see associated with each community (zoophilic and pedophilic tendencies respectively) tend to occur because of this. You have perverted people that turn something neutral into something perverted. It's a matter of perspective. Sixteen year old Mary Jones isn't a pedophile otaku because she happens to read shoujo manga and dreams of being a Japanese idol and Sixteen year old Kimberly Anderson isn't a zoophile furry because she makes anthro demon wolf OCs and draws fight scenes with them. It's easy to say that these communities are inherently degenerate, and to some extent I agree that they have origins that are, but there's a nuance to the people in those communities and I do think it can be a sliding scale. At the end of the day, these interests only become issues when they start to distort your sexuality to the side of abnormality and give you illegal or ethically wrong proclivities.
No. 2338937
>>2338929Also, if you think about it, degenerate otaku and furry shit was
hijacked from wholesome content which appealed to women and kids. Lolishit was taken from cute shoujo aesthetics which was drawn by women for women, and furryshit was taken from Disney and other talking animal cartoons/stories with a target audience of children. It's not fair to get on absolutely everyone's case for getting enmeshed in these fandoms, it's the degenerates who are intruding on
everybody else. No. 2339218
>>2338929>It's easy to say that these communities are inherently degenerateIt didn't help that both Disney and anime instilled the seeds which sprouted the first furry and weeb communities. As much as both deny it, if tesuka wasn't inspired by the disney and if disney hadn't drawn from the wealth of anthromorphism in fables and myths, neither weebs nor furries would exist. Sure, that might be the dream to some but you have to understand that these things had gone on to influence the wider scopes of pop culture. Some minor players had a hand in it like warner brothers but most of the furries I've known got their start from robin hood or more recently the zootopia movie. There's also MHA and SAO for many a weeb's gateway to anime.
No matter how one sees it, both the furry and anime communities are so intertwined that to deny any connection is simply retarded. Kemono is literally the weeb version of a furry for Christ sake. CMIMW as I'm not nearly as entrenched in either community.

Being a feminist is about supporting women who choose to take on the role of active purveyor under the patriarchy, and reject content where our gender is the one being objectified, consumed and sexualised.

It gets to a point where it gets completely detached from reality, that doesn't stop it from possibly being a negative relationship but it's fiction so who cares? It's just a shitty relationship between two older adults that exists every day also in real life.

What is it about Mouthwashing that's making zoomers suck this game's dick so much? The message of the game is literally just "rape bad" and "take responsibility or else bad things can happen". As if no adult with a sound mind already understands these extremely basic messages. How is this thought-provoking at all? Even Ratatouille has a slightly more interesting message with, "not everyone can be an artist, but a good artist can come from anywhere". It can't be the message of the game that's so "deep" and "complex", because it's really not. So what is the appeal then? Is it the PS1 graphics? I'm sick of indieslop developers using this design over and over just to jerk their nostalgia dicks off. I'm gonna keep it real there. Gameplays taught me that this is an obnoxious walking simulator. Like my god, walking around is the vast majority of what you do in the damn game. The rest is mainly learning realizing that Jimmy is a shit tier moid, that Anya is such a vanilla-ass character that's just meant to suffer for Jimmy's characterization and the extremely basic message of the story, and how the pathetic the rest of the cast is. Speaking of cast, Why do retards keep riding this burnt nigga Curly's dick? Curly is basically every fuckwit who looks at a straight up rapist and proceeds to play devil's advocate by giving them no social consequences. If you hate Jimmy, which you should, you need to hate Curly too, but every fan of this game sucks Curly's dick as if he's such an awesome character. Nigga, fuck him. I'm convinced that the actual reason why zoomers, the type of zoomers that got raised on Tumblr, love this game and won't shut up about it is because even though they sob about "muh media literacy", they think this game is cool and interesting just because it has dark elements in it, like the rape that twitterfag artists love to fetishize. Zoomers seem to have a reoccuring problem with thinking a story is easily groundbreaking and worth making a 45 minute to 1-hour long video in tribute to how it's the "darkest game you have mysteriously never played and failed to understand", just because it has shit like suicide, rape, and murder in it. That, and the "fujobait" between that nuked Ken doll and the ambiguously latino ("usual suspect") rapist of the story. Because where there's any media where you can draw two moid characters having faggot sex, you can expect a sizable amount of fujos jumping into the fandom and making the media bigger than it should be just to justify drawing and writing yet another fanfiction where two main male characters have some nasty ass angst sex.
I am high on edibles, I am drunk on wine. Fuck this overrated game, and fuck all the dipshits who think you're "media illiterate" for not treating it like it's the deepest video game to be released in recent times like it's Silent Hill 2.0 or something.

There’s an artist in the Arcane fandom currently getting dogpiled for drawing Vi x Jinx.

Sure, she’s in the wrong, but scrote artists shit lolicon and incest out by the bucketload on your average Tuesday and walk away scott-free while female fans only target fellow women because they think it’s ‘easier’ to take them down.

>>2343374>extremely stressed by the culture shock of the way american fans interact with creatorsI've seen this happen with another indie game that gained the majority of it's fans after being translated into english. The dev got caught up in the middle of typical western fandom ship wars and seems to be unsure on how to make sense of or respond to it, see picrel.
I think her behavior, like banning all edits and constantly giving responses to trivial fan complaints she's apparently received and would clearly be better off completely ignoring, could seem kind of cowish without context but I feel pretty bad for her because she clearly got thrown in at the deep end since the fans skew towards the younger side.

I just want female fans to stop fighting with eachother. Its so fucking tiring to go on twitter and see himes and fujos fighting all the time. Anime is probably the only genre we will ever have that has princely women and cute men, it's so insane to me that people will fight about the morality of it just because female socialization dictates that women can only have the purest of tastes ever or else they are not elegible for feminism and have their rights to live revoked or some other dumb crap.

>>2349094Female characters get praised and loved for the same surface level reasons that male characters do. As someone who has both female and male favorites, I can say the quality isn't that different. All these fake "deep analysis" on their blorbos are mostly retarded projections and coping. More often than not they are worthless and if more people did those with female characters, the quality wouldn't increase. It would be just a new collection of delusions.

>> “””LE HONESTYYYYYY!!!!

There is not. No one owes you some kind of ‘confession’ for doing so. What you really want (which is glaringly obvious to anyone with half a braincell) is for husbandofags who do nothing but mind their own business to come grovelling at your feet because you can’t stand the idea that no one gives a shit about you and your personal favourite characters. Learn to cope and seethe in private, and keep your offtopic revenge fantasies about your personal irrelevance away from the thread in future.

>>2350019I'm a 35-year old crusty millenial who lived through all of this and cringed in real time at foam adventures. Trannies were really common even back then though, they just weren't as bold about it as they are now and mostly concentrated to Furry circles (where the current day trend originated tbh, them and bronies) or the really niche Final Fantasy house tier nutcase cults. A lot of TIFs straight up lied about being born male but having some kind of a niche condition that made them girly, Zerodomon being the most legendary one to do this. Also in place of those cringy Tiktok video filmings everyone was dry humping and filming cosplay makeout videos on their shitty 5 megapixel point-and-shoot.
But that said, I really miss the magic of personal fan websites. I spent hours just drifting from website to website via link rings, each site having their own distinct style. Social media ruined a lot of things, specifically our creativity and the sense of community. Now everyone is doing the same thing just to reach a huge following instead of making genuine connections with the people around them. People also had more decorum regarding what they post since everything took so much more effort and time, now most people just drop a barely comprehensible shitpost tiktok because they can't be bothered to think through it twice.
The old furfags were fucking horrifying and degenerate to a disturbing degree, still are. Don't let those old cherrypicked videos fool you. There's a reason why Yiff in hell was a thing in the 00's.

>>2349094What perplexes me about muh male centrism cryfits like this is that they're never mad specifically at the people condensing female characters into either caretakers or whores nor the media landscape not allowing enough diversity within female character. I'm overwhelmingly a more husbando enjoyer but I also have a lot of different female OCs because so many of visible female characters are just shit by design so I had to make my own.
>"maybe I want to get overly attached to an amoral and pathetically sad fictional WOMAN"Like the issue is that there ARE no flawed, relatable female characters like this because
they aren't allowed to be, people taking risks are buried into obscurity and the ones who do get a chance are forced by editors and producers to change fundamental things about their characters. Stop being mad at husbandofags and fujos because it's easier to scream at the women around you minding their own business rather than deconstruct an entire industry demanding female characters to conform to male-set standards. You can cope all you want about how ackshually the male characters are badly written too and the fandom is just making up headcanons improving their writing for them but not for the female characters but that's based on literally trust me bro feels and your own subjective view of the situation. On a related note, one of my huge story writing peeves is that male characters are given complex back stories about their trauma and personal issues but whenever women are written with a sad story behind their flawed character it's just rape. Rape rape rape. Every time it's a sexual trauma. Even female writers are guilty of this.

>>2350146Imo i just find it weird they expect OSA women to sexualize female characacters, as if trying to force all women to be bihet for their sick pleasure. My husbando and picrel(one of my fav female characters) have roughly the same personality, yet i can write long manifestos about him but not about her. Why? because i have a romantic/sexual attraction to one, while the other is a girl and therefore i dont feel sexually attracted to her. Would you talk about your crush the same way you talk about a friend? ofcourse not. Its what i dont get about these tumblr fauxfeminists. These people arent just happy that women enjoy female characters, no matter how moidish the source material might be, they also want women to sexualize said characters and see them as waifus rather than characters they like. All of the examples OP provides on the tumblr post have very obvious horny intonation to them, so ofcourse those straight women arent going to talk about the pussy game of the female characters they like.

But, I agree with you that AU Powder was a manic pixie stripped of all personality and talent that came with her experience, and it rubbed me the wrong way that this watered down nobody was who all the internet males were simping over and calling perfect even though she was just a support NPC and cheerleader to everyone else, and didn’t have her own things.

No. 2350261
>>2350188pretty sure the point of better world AU Powder (and everything else about it tbh) is to show Ekko, who at that point was pretty bitter about the world he lived in and who had written Jinx off as an unsalvageable monster, enough hope/motivation to keep trying in general and to reach out to Jinx (tbh I did find it nice that they thankfully
didn't launch into a romance between the two of them upon Ekko's return, since it wouldn't have made much sense for either of them at all). AU Powder also does imo feel like a good continuation of the character we saw back in S1 episode one, which was an, imo, very meh 'cute kid' character with a few insecurities, who is easy for others and the audience to 'love' and feels like a morality pet to other characters, whereas Jinx is difficult, demands far more, and is an actual deuteragonist. AU Powder even gets repeatedly questioned about her not having her own things and direction in life, so I think the writers were making a bit of a point about her being sweet but ultimately shallow in comparison to Jinx, and it's unfortunate that it comes across as manic pixie/perfect waifu shit.
Ah well, the whole AU sequence is pretty saccharine and overly-condensed, but eh I enjoyed how it contrasted with Jayce rolling around in his literal pit of despair kek

The same way he didn't care about her after the aftermath of their fight or when she exploded the council, he had no interest in speaking with Jinx after Silco died and it was shown multiple times she only had Sevika and later Isha. He cares about AU Powder and thinks that Jinx could become her, which imo is awful because the only thing Jinx ever wanted was for people to love her as the person she is now, not Powder.

>>2350184I'm not following the convo nona, but thanks for putting it into words. I'm on the opposite road (lesbian) and while I have written one or two pieces about male characters before, I can never get as attached to them as female ones.
>Would you talk about your crush the same way you talk about a friend?This is such a simple but obvious observation, now everything makes sense. I guess attraction does play a huge part, even if you're not into the character itself, just because they're of the sex you're attracted to it makes you unconsciously more interested in them. That's also why there's so little analysis of female ones, as the majority of people into women are men and they're chimps who only think of sex.

At the same time they can barely tolerate female characters beyond a basic background gf or wife who only exists to prove their favorite character's manliness.

No. 2350286
>>2350265yeah fair, though I do think Ekko cared about Jinx, just in a way that hurt and went against what was going on in the moment– their fight on the bridge was something I really liked, as it contrasted the silly games of their childhood and false bravado with a sequence of ugly violence and their completely soured friendship. I don't think it's an accident that the two times Jinx nearly offs herself with a grenade is during the bridge fight where the two seem to have a moment of realisation as to what and to whom they're doing, and when Ekko stops her from killing herself after time/dimension travelling, tying those moments together. He also flashes back to her laying on the bridge during the AU. He also doesn't try to push Jinx into being AU!Powder either, she's still very much herself, just pointed in a better direction. Sorry for the sperging, and it's cool if you disagree or don't like it either way of course
>>2350270oh definitely, and that cute kid factor plays into her whole conflict with Powder vs Jinx, both internally and externally with other characters, since so many people in her life only saw and wanted that cute, sweet kid (though tbf they probably more want her happy, healthy and not so wildly and negatively different, but fail to articulate that because everyone is such a mess kek) and that's gotta sting.

Anybody else find the whole masculine/feminine discourse on Twitter a little tiring? I am brown, and I won’t deny—dark-skinned female characters tend to get masculinized a lot in fandom interpretations. Even in many of the GL stuff I have read, the brown/black woman often takes on the role of the 'man' in the pairing. But the women on Twitter who call this out tend to be a little too obsessed with outward femininity, for lack of a better term. Like, many of them unironically think that if you draw a brown woman in pants, then you are masculinizing her. I find this a little too much. They are almost like the elderly women from my shithole who think that any woman who doesn’t wear makeup or jewelry = man, women who don’t have long hair = man, women who wear trousers = man, and so on.

>>2352072You're right about masculine women in media- but Hyuna is just a character in a smaller series made by a lesbian couple who've been working on this for years. The fandom is very female dominated, I've never seen a male fan. It's not "malegaze" but is just lesbians making a character they find sexy.
If they had intention to make Hyuna a "masculine" character like the way Rika is, it would be apparent. But they show you from her
introduction she's a rebellion leader who dresses in a tank top and pants for the action, and casual/more feminine outfits in her off time. Everyone in the rebellion, including the pink frilly girly girl Mizi (picrel), dresses in outfits more fitting their situation. Think about characters like Katniss who dress tactically for hunting and fighting, but wear dresses from time to time. That's Hyuna's situation.
It's a different situation from Rika and King, who are characters in big male-dominated franchises. And from their early appearances you see they look like handsome princely woman and that's how they typically dress. Rika was designed by a woman, but even King's original appearance even has her sexualized/humiliated by her moid creators. She was doomed from the start. And Rika was cursed with being a character in a pokemon game(and the games have feminized a gnc woman before, see Anabel).
Masculine women aren't allowed to exist in mainstream media (and a lot of times lesbian media)
except Steven Universe but they do exist and are beloved for being masc, away from moid crap. Just look up butches in webtoons, books, comics, movies, typically made by gay women. And if you prefer the princely types, I can pull up media from east/southeast asia too. The people actually interested in making masculine women characters usually aren't gonna be found in popular mainstream media, because execs don't want that.

>>2352331>I quite literally can't name masculine female characters who isn't eventually ruined by pining for a moid or given a girly makeover or alternatively killed off/sidelined entirely. Integra from Hellsing maybe or Vi from Arcane, if we want to stretch the definition Korra from tLoKGideon from Locked Tomb series. There's a dedicated fandom with tons of art. If you like reading, there's many books with butches so try searching around for what butch lesbians recommend.
Some more stuff with masc/butch/gnc women as main characters, mix of stuff I've watched/read or planning to check out:
>Live action: Rafiki, Pariah, The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love, Love Lies Bleeding, A League of Their Own, Feel Good, Bound, Set it off, Handsome Stewardess, Gentleman Jack>Manga: Honey & Honey, Indigo Blue, Himitsu no Hanazono (by Fuji Mihona), You As You Are (oneshot), Hands Off My Girl (oneshot), Boyish Butch x Butch anthology (this one seems to be a mix of butch couples, tomboys, and short-haired women in dresses though).Some varying qualities on the manga lol. I remember enjoying Honey & Honey, did not enjoy Indigo Blue but would recommend Ebine Yamaji in general, Himitsu is boring but cute basic shojo, and the oneshots had messy writing but sweet endings imo.
>Western comics: Dykes to watch out for, Cosmoknights (haven't read these yet)>Cartoon: Infinity train season 2 (for Lake)A beloved one for me is Haruka in Sailor Moon S, season 3 of the 90s series where she's most prominent and plot important, and more distinctly masc than her manga/smc versions.
This isn't meant to disprove what you're talking about, masc women content is woefully scarce. Just wanted to share more examples, especially those sincerely made by women and not hacks like Bryke (though I don't really count Korra). But kudos to artists at Fortiche improving Vi. Anyway, there's still creators trying to include masculine women beyond mainstream media. Even just a few days ago I saw a Korean artist release her lesbian romcom manhwa on Lezhin about a butch woman

I wish people would just leave women who very obviously have a history of abuse writing dark fiction alone. I feel like people who say shit like these women deserved the abuse they went through or they deserve to have it happen to them again or even that they deserve to literally die, based on something they're making by themselves from the comfort of their own home, are probably someone who is gonna go off to traumatize someone else in their personal lives later and then play victim because that's all it is with extra steps. It's also a form of silencing victims, in my opinion. Why should women be told they're only ever allowed to talk about what happened to them in certain and personal terms? Why can't they express their feelings through a medium that feels safe and removed from them personally? I hate it. I hate proshipping vs antishipping discourse, I hate retards on twitter and tiktok and everywhere else. 13, 14, 15 year old kids get a pass because teens being stupid is a rite of passage, but the people who are like, 24 years old and still haven't outgrown this mentality are some of the most insufferable people imaginable and deserve to be rounded up and gunned down like dogs because all they do is drag down society and retraumatize already vulnerable people, while also shaming them for being upset like "awww look, the old hag is mad i said she's a porn addict!". And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of 30 year old fandom women who are uncomfortably addicted to porn, but if they're staying in their own lane then it's nobody's business but hers and the people closest to her and you have no idea what she may have been through to get to that point.

>>2354577I like tcoaal, and a big reason is that it's because it's refreshing to see a (formerly) self published story made by a westerner that has
problematic themes and is unapologetic about it while also not being all "hahaha! take THAT, puriteens!". It feels like western indie works nowadays that lean one way or the other are all about making sure they're shouting out their particular crowd, but tcoaal just is what it is. The most "take that!" thing is that one 'cry about it' drawing and it's just an extra thing the developer drew. It's really encouraging to see women making the stories they want and not backing down to the expectation to be submissive and pure. Didn't even make a huge thing about it, just went "yeah, fuck you" and went back to business.

>>2355003I know the whole ‘fujoshism is feminist’ joke is overplayed but I genuinely believe there is a modicum of truth in it. The state of being a woman is to see yourself and your gender constantly consumed through media by men and women alike. The simplest (albeit imperfect and not entirety
un-
problematic) way to flip that dynamic is by placing men in the position of those female characters as passive objects of desire, and removing the female from the screen to the person watching it. That’s why moids and handmaidens chimp out so hard at yaoi: because it actually
does directly subvert patriarchal dynamics, and therefore feels like an inherent threat to them. But that’s just my two cents.

>>2355108Samefagging to add, the difficulty as a fujoshi myself is knowing how and where to add female characters back in to your media to fully round off the subversion. Male creators approach male characters like vessels through which they can project their active consumption of a story and the female characters in it, so the best way I can think of (AKA what I do for my female OCs) is to treat them like idealised self-inserts with internal complexities, so not quite Mary Sues. The James Bond, Indiana Jones, Han Solo kind of guy, but gender-swapped. Once I started writing my stories this way, (sexy male characters with badass and clever female inserts), I felt a lot more close to figuring out the ‘female gaze’ than ever before.

if we want to debate about how men liking something nullifies the existence of femgaze even if she's cutting up, eating men and enslaving them, we may as well coin the term Schrodinger's gaze. If a woman makes something unabashedly unhinged for her own desires, its feminist female gaze, but if a man sees it and enjoys it, its instantly male gaze and all of her intentions have no value, even if its about aborting male fetuses and setting men on fire, because everything in proximity to males is meant to be consumed by them and is for them, even when it isn't. i dont even like this stupid visual novel, I just think other women moralfagging about a total nothingburger developer writing her little yandere fantasy and drawing fictional adults fucking is pure pickme conservatoid faggotry disguised as radical feminism.

You posted a Gravity Falls image, but the thing with GF is that it wasn't made with a singular sex in mind. Women like it when men have a bit of danger to them, as well as a difficult past that caused some type of emotional instability. Since funa was mentioned in the thread, let's look at Idate. Wadanohara is clearly lolibait, the ending where Sal rapes her is extremely controversial and a lot of moids played it, yet somehow the still existing fanbase lusts after characters like Idate who are fully clothed, they just perform a lot of violence and often allude to sexual misconduct, similar to Andrew. This is not a new phenomena either, evidence of characters like this appealing to women spans back decades.

Male characters from shit chock-full of misogyny and fanservice will still have a ton of fangirls, and editors will tell shounen mangaka to make the characters handsome enough to bait women but make the overall story for men. And even male mangaka who only care about male fans will unintentionally make characters who get tons of fangirls (Sanji, Zoro, Vegeta, L, Sasuke).
Andrew’s case seems special because it’s smaller scale, an indie game where you don’t typically see this thing because most are made by very autistic moids with no sense of artistry. But it’s similar shit, just different medium.

>>2356099>Shounen Jump stated years ago that it's going for that 50/50 female audience. It wants to be the anime magazine, for everybody.I know but they're trying harder to keep their teenage boys audience because they know that girls and women will read anything as long as they find it interesting. The same thing can apply to adult men who will read whatever Shonen Jump series they like partially because of nostalgia as well. I think Shonen Jump editors are careful about little boys and teenage boys in particular because of a statement by the guy who made JJK, he said his editors were often telling him to make a lot of dialogues and scenes easier to follow for kids. I don't remember shojo manga being as simplified and neutered as JJK for the same age range, but I mostly remember old shojo manga on top of my hand so maybe the ones published right now are less edgy.
tldr; girls are less likely to go "ew I'm not reading that shit, it's for boys" when reading your usual shonen slop while boys will go "ew it's for girls I'm not reading that shit" if they read shonen slop that's too obviously trying to also target a female audience at the same time.

Honestly I don't understand why people are in denial that Nemlei wrote Andrew to be appealing, as if she's not a whole woman who clearly has a thing for broody boys, looking at her past works. No Good Noelle is her game directly before TCOAAL and doesn't have any of that male gaze shit, but it DOES have a male lead that's incredibly manipulative and self serving and a danger to the protagonist's entire society. I stand by the fact Nemlei was trying to cast a wide net.

>>2356192nta and it depends on which editor we're talking about. The one for the very first chapter of what became JJK0 was so braindead he forced a lot of terrible idea on the author for the sake of making the manga as bland as possible for marketing reasons. He fucked off as soon as the first chapter was published. Since JJK is a very direct sequel of JJK0 the author worked with other editors who weren't forcing bullshit on him but gave him suggestions that he mostly followed. I don't remember the details but a lot of people said the manga fell off after the Shibuya incident arc because his next editor let him do whatever he wanted but I don't recall anything specific said by Gege or any editor about this.
To sum this up, for JJK0 to be allowed in some Shueisha magazine, Gege was forced to make the story happen in a magic school instead of a secret organization, was forced to make Yuta related to some historical figure and related to Gojo, and his very first editor was trying to replace Rika with Oda Nobunaga which would have changed the story entirely. The story was supposed to be way longer and about how Yuta and Maki were trying to find a curse strong enough to exorcise Rika. Instead the story lasted for one volume and all its ideas were implemented in JJK but then at the very end
we end up seeing Yuta and Maki's grandkids even though Yuta and Maki barely interacted together in JJK and Rika already being exorcised before JJK happens makes some scenes really stupid when you think about it. Generic things like Nobara or the mandatory tournament arc were another editor's idea and Gege didn't shit talk that second editor. However I assume that second editor wanted her to exist just to copypaste Naruto's main characters and not because the story would be better that way. Gege removed the school setting as soon as he could however. One reason why he apologized to his editors was because of one fight referencing a shit ton of manga, ads and TV shows so editors had to get legal permission for this, he could have been talking about things like that as well.

>>2356254Very few of those characters are indistinguishable from men. And no, femme pairings have always been a thing. I can literally link you to yuri oneshots posted in lesbian magazines if you want proof. Just admit you don't know jackshit about the genre, coping fujo.

>>2356259Go find it yourself. Don't you always say how you want more of stuff like this but always end up reading yaoi anyway? How come I don't even like this stuff but know way more about it than you, who is supposedly a "butch" connoisseur? Kekkk fujo "lesbians" are truly pathetic.

>>2356281The reason we entered a shoujo anime drought was because producers realized that women will consume any genre with romance, but moids will steer clear of anything that feels too girly. Because of this, the fruits basket remake overperformed and they realized women actually DO want to spend money. I feel like producers just don't want to see women as people for whatever reason, or maybe they just see that we ship gay men too much and it makes their fragile masculinities uncomfortable kekkkk
>>2356280I feel like that's what nonna was getting at, it's retarded how many people will cast aside a woman as a pickme just because moids happened to like something she made.

>>2356235slightly ot but i've noticed that in asian works in general the male seems to be way darker skinned than the woman, even if they're both japanese/korean/etc. they associate extremely pale skin with femininity it seems, even looking back women were be encouraged to put white face paint on (in japan at least, don't know about the rest)

The drama over Arcane seems really reminiscent of Voltron to me. Makes me glad I never watched either show. People take shipping too seriously these days, I miss when crackshipping was more popular. Everyone worries too much over what's the most "canon" instead of just relaxing and having fun with their fanart or fanfic. It feels almost like fandoms have turned shipping into a retarded competition where the people who ship the endgame canon pairing "win." It's so strange to me. Like, it's fanfic, you can do literally whatever you want. You can stick together two characters who never even met and put them in an AU where humans colonized Mars. Just have fun with it, you know? Life's too short to turn every hobby into online discourse.

>>2356432Arcane fans are slightly above Voltron fans because they actually
did have canon ships and weren't just being delusional kek, but they're still so autistic about it for no reason. Who ducking cares which ship has the most likes on AO3 or whatever,

>>2356281>Don't you tards have like 3+ threads to argue and discuss gay anime porn?There can never be enough, apparently. There seems to be a small group of anons obsessed with this infight, and it's like they won't stop until every thread on the site gets derailed with sperging over gay Chinese cartoons. I can't fathom why someone would fixate so much on fighting about something so dumb and meaningless.
Interestingly, there were a lot fewer of these derails when the VPN ban was in effect, which suggests to me that a lot of it is probably just intentional bait.

>>2356235>PicrelI just saw this but it makes me want to alog all the artists until they delete. That strapon shit traced from het porn really is degenerate. Anyone can disagree with me on this and call me a troon or whatever but it won't stop me from being utterly disgusted by the heterosexualisation of lesbian couples because female "artists" want to masturbate to ~big black weiners penetrating a white girl hole~ but they wanna look progressive about it.
Literally no better than trannies who sexually harass lesbians to draw futashit. Why do lesbians have to suffer because terminally online retards can't admit they have retarded fetishes? Fuck this straight earth.

>>2356422>>2356427If you live in an asian country, it used to be very common for young boys to be 2-3 shades darker than girls and even adult men because they are much more likely to go outside while women are at home and adults are at work, this was really present in cities in previous generations, nowadays both men and women usually have the same skin tone because it's more common for everyone to spend more time indoors.

>>2356792When it comes to proship/anti stuff I guess the steelman argument is the "normalization" aspect, so whether or not the incest content actually has
abusive dynamics/grooming involved doesn't matter. Incest shipping is bad because it normalizes the taboo, which will lead to people acting it out in real life, have incest be legalized, or people will be more easily groomed by relatives because they don't recognize it's wrong because of shipping or some shit like that. Of course, this is retarded when it applies to small scale fandom stuff and when you realize most people aren't sub 20 IQ retards but they think being fine with it on a small scale will lead to it being pushed with in mainstream content as well which kids will see and they'll grow up socialized to think incest is okay.
