Samefag. I love the outcry for the "natural body type" of a cartoon bat. Methodology in learning anatomy? Just say you're mad your childhood goon fantasy isn't sexy anymore, Noone is going to hurt you. Funniest part is that she still has big honkers in the idw comics and some recent games so it's not like the censorship accusations hold much water.

I don't really care too much about her boobs either way. I personally love Rouge because she tried to murder Chris Thorndyke and then used Shadows PTSD against him in order to get a shiny rock.
She then proceeded to shamelessly flirt with human women.

I miss what fandoms used to be. Pre-kweer, pre-moralfag, just before any of that stuff. I don't associate with people like that but it doesn't matter if I do or not, these brigades ruin the quality of fan content. It infects fan art, fanfiction, and in some fandoms it spreads it's way into the media itself (harassing the creators). At the moment I consume mostly eastern media but now and again something I'm into suddenly gets popular with that particular crowd. I can't ignore them and it angers me too much, I do not want to share a space with them. It feels like nothing is safe and I'm honestly considering just making something of my own so it's just for me, and nobody can get the chance to ruin it for me.

I think the cartoon is why people think Rouge is more of a seductress than she actually is. Maybe I just don't play enough Sonic material, but does she ever actually flirt with or try to seduce people all that often in the games?
I recall her just sneaking around and being smart enough to hack into places on her own. Not flashing her tits around to get people to do shit for her.

No. 2590966

>>2590935
Sperg incoming but imo in the games she's in she's like the slightly tacky but actually rich aunt who unironically likes pink leopard print. She's sexy, she knows how to use it, but she's not interested. She likes money and luxury and that's it. Even her banter with Knuckles is more like her teasing him because she might find him cute but he's stupid. She's not like people portray her and she's super smart. She works for the government while also working with Robotnik if I remember correctly. The external media lost that subtlety but combined with her playable levels and personality in the games it makes me pretty sad.

Unfortunately a character who's sexy in any capacity is always overblown by fans and cooms.

No. 2590981

>>2590922
I agree. Media used to be about the media not people projecting all their mental illness and moral failings onto it. Its hard to just talk about a fucking series, as it is, or even fanart that isn't something that's the creator wearing the fandom's skin to talk about themselves or project onto.

Paired with the remakes being made of older series with significant plot differences and fanfic tier changes there's a lot of this new type fan infesting comfortable fandoms who don't know how to act. Even obscure fandoms get infested because some YouTube retard made a 5hr deepdive about ooh weird game they haven't played that people watch and then bother fans of because it's cool to say you know it.

I mean in this case specifically, I'd argue that it's worse because Tweek is apparently a TiF having a period here. But yeah if we're just speaking strictly in terms of how "sexualized" the characters are, it's pretty absurd to pearl clutch when the "yaoi art" in the source material involves Tweek and Craig sticking their hands in each others' pants. Not to mention all the other instances in the show of kid characters getting raped, jerking off, doing drugs, etc. At least the fanartists typically age the kids up, while Matt and Trey themselves have no such compunction kek.

Notice how men only seem to care about women’s issues, body positivity, anti discrimination, and feminism when they imagine the victims are super sexy women, being oppressed for their super sexy bodies. You will never hear them talk about how women are discriminated against/maligned for their “natural state” if they’re ugly.

I don’t think they think there are sexy big boobied queens out there crying every day because the world is so mean to them.
Ironically, it is, but the cruelty and dehumanization is not coming from “jealous uggos”. It’s coming from these very same men, who objectify them.
I swear they all have this nice guy savior fantasy where ugly hags are tormenting hot young women, he comes to defend her honor, and is rewarded with her love and sex, of course.

If Rouge started out more plain and was bimbofied over time, no men would be crying about “misogyny”. They are so cynical and pathetic. There’s nothing I hate more than people who are transactionally moral. Just say what you are and go. Stop pretending to care about female representation.

Being so annoyed with fandom it made me start disliking the source has happened to me more times than I can remember. I avoid social media (always have), stay away from Reddit subs for the fandom for the most part, and NEVER join Discord servers if it’s for something I really like, unless it’s a very tiny fandom and the fans happen to be cool. (Uncommon.)

I just collect fanart I like and write fics. Once in a blue moon I draw some fanart myself, but I don’t post it anywhere big, just share it among a few people. It can feel a little lonelier but it’s much better for continuing to appreciate the source.

Retarded take on the comic part. Assuming you have to do a deep search next time you like someone's art is police state mentality.

Not only that but if those people had a clean place from where they can get normal fan art/fiction you wouldn't see as much cognitive dissonance as its presented in strawman comic.

I hate it when characters get tit chop scars and randomly exclaim "____ rights are human rights" but the clean pool is soo small that I have to make compromises if I wanna look at more than the same 10 pictures. So why is it any different to the le bad characters in the comic? (Excluding the obvious problematic themes like pedophilia and incest)

This is the culture we live in. Artists always took inspiration from folklore, literature, art, music, theater, philosophy, religion, literally anything you can get your hands on.

This is an unpopular opinion on top of my experience being opposite to yours, but so many older fandom people drank the kool aid and they can be the most stubborn self-righteous assholes. A teenager hopefully grows out of it or is nothing more than an annoyance, but old fandom dogs clearly can't fucking learn new tricks and it's even worse when they hold strong community positions.

Is it me or do kids/zoomers nowadays have zero fandom vocabulary? I saw some guy on insta joking that he couldn't name a shounen with a female mc and there a bunch of people in the comments very confidently correcting him that "erm shounen means the lead is a boy if the lead is a girl it's a shoujo". The most basic ass anime terminology, and they don't even know that.
Seems like nowadays the only words fandom kids know are either the ones that are turned into memes (probably the only reason they still know the words yaoi and yuri) or whatever academic-LARP buzzwords are currently pushed by youtube video essayists (like "media literacy").

this is happening in a fairly small fandom (cult of the lamb) but i feel like i see this happen to other authors too. their writing blows up on ao3 and suddenly people treat them like a content creator (either worshpping them and constantly demanding more of them or absolutely hating them)

i've started to see some people argue that ao3 allow hiding kudos, hits, etc. to reduce this but i feel like that would just make it even harder for less popular fics to get attention (because then you'd seem like an attention-seeker just for turning kudos on)

thoughts? imho there's some merit to both arguments but it would definitely help if tumblr artists stopped being sensitive little babies

People who bitch about fanworks being popular are never the sort to actually do the work of promoting or finding and enjoying other fanworks themselves– instead of going and looking through ao3 for what they want to see, they whinge and ask to be spoonfed recs, and recs will always be the fics with the most broad and accepted appeal, since then the person recommending them doesn't risk anything by doing so. Either make your own stuff or publicly praise other's work that you enjoy and help it gain attention, it's not that hard.

I don't think hiding features on ao3 is the solution, since that would only effect a portion of uses that pay attention to those numbers and not things like tags, characters, summaries, etc. Instead, people should simply tell those who complain about others' success in fandom or works being recommended frequently to get over it and look for fic themselves instead of being lazy.

If they're a writer and that concerned with a lack of attention towards their own works, then they need to either realise that no one owes them more attention, especially not because someone else is getting more, and to maybe reflect on why they might not be attracting readers to their stories– not so that they can change to write something designed to appeal to what other fans are clearly enjoying in popular fics, but sometimes it helps to recognise that what you like to create is niche and will get a niche response and that's okay. Also, in my experience, these types of complaints rarely come from people who actually do write as well as they think they do (same for artists tbh), and often write fics that are the wrong kind of self-indulgent for other fans to enjoy.

I hate husbandofags and fujoshits that solely have oshis and otps from shounenslop and moidbait gachas like hoyoverse properties, it’s extreme tourist behavior (shounenslop is always the shit getting whored out to the western gp esp recently, fucking garbage like demon slayer and jjk get massive global fandoms while even long term dedicated anime fans will struggle to name a shoujo series that came out in the last five or even ten years) and stifles the traction and recognition of female BL manga, Otome and shoujo romance/bishounen shoujo creators in favor of male pedophiles who either coincidentally center male characters in his story because hes too much of a chauvinist that can’t resonate with or relate to women to even create waifuslop or waifufags that were mandated by corpo to add some bishies for the Chinese Stacys to whale over, I feel like one of the only tangibly feminist proponents of the church of husbandoism is that we are relating to stories made by women, supporting female creators and supporting female artisans in our community, with shounensloppers, you’re funneling millions into the pockets of japenises because you like their male self inserts, and are setting a trend for more male stories by male authors and less female stories or female gaze stories by female artists. Though I am guilty of having garbo taste in husbandos from moidmedia, some of my ult hubbies are Inuyasha (I moralize this bc Rumiko Takahashi made him and Inuyasha is one of her least scrotey series) and Hawks (I started husbandoing him after finding a terfblr blog themed around him years ago LMAO) so even if I don’t agree, I understand the inclination, also I tend to like shounen art styles a bit more than some generic BL and manhwa ones, the vibrant and avant-garde characters and sometimes cutely deformed styles really appeals to me.

Mostly shounen, and the occasional book. It's almost inevitable for me just going by probabilities. I'm extremely picky and only get a new husbando every several years, only liking one at a time.

Characters I enjoy for BL I never enjoy for husbando purposes. I tried getting into otome and I just can't deal with the popular character archetypes, tropes and writing conventions popular in it. A lot of the love interest characters are just way too mean, Japanese users also seem to have a preference for characters who are contrary to their original presentation so even if you go for the sweetie-pie route he always busts out some unwelcome dom shit. I do like manga written by women when it isn't focused on romance because in romance series I always prefer the losing option, my tastes are just not aligned with what Japanese women like.

In the West romance novels are huge and they are mostly written by women, so it isn't as if there aren't likeminded women whose preferences would align with yours it's just that prose lacks the visual element that is core to fandom culture and husbandoing.

Dedicated BL or otome media for me all the way. I'm peak canonfag, 99% of the time if the canon ships in a story doesn't interest me, I will simply not bother to ship anything from that franchise and enjoy it outside of a shipping context. My life is busy and stressful as it is, can't be bothered to put extra effort into manifesting imaginary relationships. It's not like I hate derivative works by principle, I write fanfics myself. But for me it's always an extension or exploration of the existing worldbuildling and character relationships, instead of just "what if X and Y kissed" when X and Y have literally never met and only share the common feature of being 2d hot guys, kek. I can't bring myself to give a shit about fanons that run counter to canon and most of shounen shipping falls in that category. Plenty of my friends are into that type of shipping though, listening to them sperg out over it can be funny. Idk about nonnies in this thread but pretty often they lose interest rather quickly, sell off merch of their past otp and latch on to the next fomo anime, so I don't take it too seriously(fujosperg outside of containment)

Imo the insistence of enforcing a certain level of purity on what media is acceptable to consume for husbandos and shipping is counterproductive because then what are we left with that lives up to those standards? Utena, a show that farmers would unanimously agree is a feminist classic, was made by a man who arguably has a lesbian fetish. One could also argue that a lot female gaze media made by and for a female audience (Western romance lit, otome games, some shoujo manga) is also ripe with misogynistic tropes.

Genre shifts don’t happen overnight; the girl-ification of the shounen genre was a gradual shift that occurred over decades. Femgaze content is a relatively new genre so it needs time to develop its footing. TL;DR the existing female-targeted content for women is not going to be ideologically perfect so we must continue to be the change we want to see and iterate on the stuff we do like to encourage change.

It does annoy me that a lot of other female weebs tend to avoid shoujo/otome/BL and gravitate towards eating crumbs that fall off of shounenshit but I guess that's a result of anime/manga/games becoming mainstream.(fujosperg outside of containment)

Imagine women primarily consumed BL/otome/shoujo and how powerful those genres/demographics would be, especially with how passionate women get within fandoms. The industry would have no choice but to cater to women everywhere. But nah most stuff targeted specifically to women remains niche (with a few anomalies) because female otaku would rather popularize shounenshit garbage and spend their wages on genshin/hsr merch.

tbh as much as i like to indulge in otome/bl sometimes, it's really hard for me to get attached to the characters from those games enough to husbando them. i've tried a lot of them and even when there's a guy who's my type, i just don't feel for him as strongly as i would for a guy from non-romance-related media. i guess them being made mostly to be an object of desire is my roadblock, i like my 2d men with a life outside of MC-chan.
my favourite husbando source for that reason is rpgs with romance elements, i feel like they strike the perfect balance where you can see your favourite character from both sides: the way he acts in situations completely unrelated to your (MC's) relationship with him and also through a love story.
the main con of this is that you'll have to get used to seeing a lot of yumeart with other people's characters. not a problem for some but once i started getting a bit too autistic about my hasu i stopped looking up fanart of him for that reason. oh and that for most nonas men in western rpgs are too ugly, which i'm not gonna dispute - i guess the closest to a bishie equivalent of this would be the P3P femc route
i know my main hasu is written by a woman though so i'm good in that regard i guess.

understandable. a lot of stuff gets labeled as shounen or seinen even if it doesn't even meet most of its tropes just to be marketed for a general audience or just because they have a style that's slightly different. it's actually way more varied than BL or shoujo as a result.
>>2596514
except that won't change that there isn't that much variety in its styles or stories, with some exception. I don't like slice of life, romance, or any fluffy school stories. there's some fantasy ones I like regardless, like Yona of the Dawn, that I'm happy to support but the characters look like 15 year olds so I'm not really attracted to them and I really dislike Hak which makes the romance even worse to witness.

(Im dwelling on this because of Ethel Cain being cancelled) I feel like a creator getting cancelled for saying the N word is so dumb when they have a backlog of sexual perversions & misogyny that went ignored. Maybe I'm bitter. But I see it time and time again in fandoms, especially with people who make content such as pedophilic fanart of incest ships or super-gooner depictions of women. Why is it so cool and valid and artistic to be a pedophile or a misogynist to the core, but saying "nigger" for edgy points is where the line is drawn? Fandom & the way people engage with media is so poisoned

I think proship/anti discourse is dumb but I think it's really funny when proshippers who coom to rape start acting like they're holier than thou over the most banal jokes ever. I can't find the exact screenshots since the girl who started it all was suspended. But basically she posted picrel, got backlash, someone joked "The CP is all yours broski" and she and her followers got mad and said that they were basically encouraging and accusing a minor of having CP.

I'm a fujo and I probably have autism regarding this, but I basically tend to enjoy m/m ships and their fancontent (regardless of canon status) in most media I consume, however I will draw a line regarding my ''investment'' and interaction with fandom depending on whether the anime/game/whatever was made with a fujo audience in mind or not.
Basically, I'll enjoy gacha fotm ship content from a distance, but I won't engage with the fandom more than that, and I definitely wouldn't spend money on the game (or merch), make content for it myself, etc. I do wish fujos had higher standards in general and didn't settle for slop, but it's not like I can change their minds and get them to draw content for my ships instead.
I don't enjoy original BL that much, but it's mostly because I have specific preferences and it's easier to find ships that 100% suit my tastes in fujo-pandering-but-not-outright-BL shows. Sadly it's been a bit dry these days when it comes to anime of this kind, but at least we got Blue Lock(just ignore the s2 animation), and hopefully Hikaru ga shinda natsu ends up being good (I haven't read the manga).(fujosperg outside of containment)

>Has your fandom been infiltrated by zoomers because of a video essay uploaded about it?
Nope, thankfully! I have noticed a lone few zoomies but they do a fine enough job of integrating and don't insert all their bullshit within the fandom.
>Has the discourse, headcanons and general consensus around the lore of your fandom been heavily influenced by popular video essays?
No but a fandom I had been in had this problem. It's difficult to have any meaningful discussions when this happens because everyone parrots the exact same opinion for the exact same reasonings. They don't actually think for themselves and therefore can't actually participate much.
>Do you feel like video essays could provide any positive impacts to your fandom?
Hm, difficult to say. There's a lot of historical and folklore elements that are important to the media, if the video essay focuses purely on that aspect, I could see it being an insightful video as long as proper care is taken into researching it. That being said, video essays are watched by mindless consoomers. They care less about franchises and more about "planting their flag", for lack of a better term, they want to dominate fandoms with their morally rightous selves and leave once the newest FOTM, video essay bait franchise comes out. I wouldn't want them in my fandom because they're only good for numbers, you know those seagulls in Finding Nemo that irritatingly scream "Mine" over and over?

I feel like this is disingenuous. There are plenty of racist moids that are allowed to get away with their behavior. There were still fans of Ethel's excusing his racism. Nobody gave a shit about his supposed pedophilia or misogyny because he's a tranny who claimed to be a victim of pedophilia and sexual assault. His fans will excuse everything he does because they believe that he's a woman and a victim of misogynistic crimes. I've seen handmaidens say that his horrible actions are the result of "internalized misogyny". It's harder to defend his racism because he's white, but they'll still try to do it anyways

Nta. I think ayrt is generalizing, not saying that racism is always taken seriously in lefty fandom spaces online. There are plenty of racists being allowed to run amok, but a person is just way more likely to be canceled due to racism or troonphobia than due to misogyny. That's just objectively true, because he's been blatantly misogynistic with no pushback from anyone but GCs. I imagine there are retards defending his racism, likely other TiMs who have skeletons in their own closets and are defending Macon as a proxy for themselves. But if we look specifically at the types of people who stanned Macon only to cancel him now, it's evident they don't take misogyny as seriously as racism.

I'd say worse, because dragging a woman around by her hair is a lot more likely to happen in domestic violence situations. And generally when hair-pulling happens as a kink thing, it's during sex when both people are actually naked. The fact that they're fully dressed almost makes it seem more like domestic violence, frankly (not that things like hair-pulling cease to be violent and demeaning during sex, but you get what I mean). I've seen some retarded cope about how it's meant to be a "parody" or "satire" of misogynistic ads from the 60s, but I don't buy that. Satire is supposed to be funny or subversive, it's just a replication of whatever the source material is. If it were "satire," the man would be on his knees getting his hair pulled, or something similarity subversive. You can't just copy something wholesale and call it satire, and Sabrina has a long history of mindlessly copying whatever shit she sees on Pinterest because she's a shallow retard with no sense of creativity or individuality. That's why her lyrics read like an ESL porn addict with a head injury wrote them.

Retarded, nuclear level pickme takes. We are never escaping the patriarchy when handmaidens like you infantilize the poor wittle men of color as if they're any different from their white counterparts. Not only that, but women usually have a stronger basis for being racist as well (not talking about Cain either I barely know who he is and just found out he's a troon). I'm racist towards black men and feel more uncomfortable and repulsed around them than I would men of other races. Why? Because the only experiences I've had with them are them catcalling me, begging me for money, attempting to grope me on public transport, being sex pests, being retards, and generally being bums.

Nta the whole point of the argument was that pedophiles and misogynists don't get cancelled until they say something racist. I made my original post because it bothers me how in fandom spaces pedophile fanart/fanfics or blatantly misogynistic fan creations are viewed as okay until the N word turns up and THEN they're suddenly viewed as a pedo creep. A bunch of you are just screeching that nonnas are racist when it has nothing to do with what I said in my post, the fact of the matter is that pedophilia and misogyny are not bad in fandom spaces unless they're a racist and we have seen this time and time again even with cows right here on lolcow

Nobody is “screeching” about anything. It’s true that misogyny isn’t taken as seriously as it should be but unless you’re in retarded libfem or moid-dominated spaces idea that people don’t care about pedophilic artwork or fanfiction is untrue. Macon was given a pass for everything because he’s a troon who claimed to be raped or something. Literally every criticism he received was brushed away because his fans believed in supposed victim status. There’s nuance to this conversation that’s being lost somehow. Every public condemnation of Macon’s misogyny was brushed off by his fans because he claimed to be a female victim.

The crazy thing about the Ethel Cain stuff is that he was uplifted by troon-loving white libfem women who enjoy his specific brand of misogyny, not black and Latina women. He obviously has some non-white fans, but we all know what the majority of his fanbase looks like, who put him on and who he's copying. So many white radfems on places besides LC who knew about him could've put him on blast long ago for his vile lyrics and generally horrible attitude. They just had to be willing to deal with the sperging from their fellow white women and a bunch of MtFs. It's almost like after Ethel responded to one radfem on Tumblr, every single one went scurrying and would only discuss him in passing or hushed tones. That's a problem. Your real problem isn't that he was scolded for the racism, it's that
>noooo they'll call me a terf and harass me if i speak out
And black women routinely get called horrible things, harassed and abused for speaking up about racism and misogyny by people who engage in both. So fucking what? Being aloof and detached about it clearly did nothing but let that troon thrive. He really could've been sent into the ether just like Onision and that one creepy, fake-positivity van tranny if he'd been gathered in time.
I know some black radfems had already been talking about how he's just another misogynistic tranny before the racism came out, but honestly? We didn't blame you for not helping us end Kevin Samuel's career (another misogynistic scrote) because you probably don't even know who he is, and that's an in-community discussion. Ethel Cain is your in-community discussion, and no one should be expected to be okay with his racism just because so many in your community accepted the sexism. Ultimately, it's also still white libfems who are going to save his career, and you'll probably let it happen again and only complain when his racism is brought up. It's annoying. Either be glad someone finally whacked the piece of shit scrote, or deal with him yourself and handle the inevitable misogynistic tranny/libfem tears.

Ignoring the maybe tif reply, they do have a point. Otome is made for heterosexual women in mind as the male love interests and romance take priority over the plot, with some exceptions such as Jack Jeanne. Most famous visual novel were originally eroge and were enjoyed for their plot while the romance and sex scenes were afterthoughts tacked on because it was the only way to market a visual novel at the time, such as Fate Stay Night. So even though a lot of eroge were marketed towards male otaku, they gained a wider audience as opposed to otome which remains primarily if not only straight women.

>>2598362
That's a really good point. The history of eroge VNs compared to otome games are completely different. I remember learning otome games were like CYOA text games girls could play on their phones and expanded from there, where as eroge VNs needed the visual element from the start. Like how that biographical manga 16Bit Sensation illustrated it.

Oh I don't disagree with that point. The origin of the discourse was someone bemoaning the lack of "big visual novel releases". Of course this caused people to bring up otome games, BL games, ADV-hybrid, indie games (both english and japanese) since those communities are still chugging along more than commercial eroge. VNs as a medium has always been niche and the age of big "kamige" bishoujo-ge/galge is pretty much over with most writers working on gacha/LNs since they are more profitable/cheaper to produce respectively. Even for otome games, the peak was around psp-vita era. Still, otome and BL fans tend to be more connected and have a stronger community (eroge "community" is a cesspit in comparison). I've met more female vn fans that are more "omnivorous" than men, and in my experience most male VN fans (both EOP and JOP) don't actually keep up with the scene and just jerk off Subahibi and Muramasa for the 100th time.

Nah, that shit was all over tumblr and LJ for years before it hit formats like video essays, it was extremely popular for people in fandom who, at the time, were just hitting college and having their horizons broadened to try and intellectualise their favourite things in order to give them more weight and legitimacy (also as a way to bludgeon other fans and even creators into bowing to their vision of the text, usually for the sake of a ship). Part of the whole sjw phase of fandom in the 2010s.

I remember going on the AO3 subreddit to look for writing tips and to ask about a bug I was getting and the entire sub is just grown adults whining about "anti" kids and posting whatever mean comment they got on their fic. Yeah yeah dumb kids harassing people for writing a BL fanfic is bad or whatever but you're also the adult who got so triggered from said kid's comment and felt the need to screenshot it, get their user, and post it on reddit. Clearly the kid isn't the only one being an immature retard, the hypocrisy is so funny. There's something simple called deleting and blocking or turning your comments off. If you're offended by something a 14yo says on the internet then get off the internet too.

On the topic of VN and a little off topic. I've been thinking about this a lot since a topic similar to this kind of comes up whenever a western indie VN like Date Everything gets popular, or some company makes a April Fools VN and other people complaining that no one makes non-ironic indie VN in the west.

Because I could go on Kickstarter right now a pluck two or three non-ironic indies that are being funded every month or so, or I could find plenty of them scattered about all over itch.io. But they're also mostly Otome/Amore, do people still use Amore, VNs so they don't get counted or overlooked by the VN audience.

Like Touchstarved had an insanely successful kickstarter campaign, probably the most money made for a VN on the site, but most of the discussion for the game I saw came from Otome circles, even though it wouldn't classify as an Otome game. And not a single post about the game in the general visual novel sub which skews more male.

It makes me think the complaint about non-ironic indies is more about how there isn't more indie VN geared towards hetero men.

I've thought about this before too: men overlook stuff made for women - they're not interested so it doesn't count to them. But there's no equivalent to Otome Jam, the VN patreons that could outmatch a dev like GB Patch are probably porn game ones, there's simply less energy for indie dating-sims/romance vns for men in comparison to what women are putting out for Otome and BL. But I'm not really sure why.

Yeah, Korean stuff tends to be very hit or miss for me. A lot of it has that overproduced glossy style too, and I personally see less artstyle variation (though that could be just because I stick to specific genres and there's a bias to what gets translated). The last good Korean BL I read was the Sadistic Beauty spinoff, and that was mostly because it was balls to the wall (kek) crazy + the drama behind the scenes between the translator(s) and the fans.

Cowardly writing choice for this show to routinely use fusion as an allegory for gay sex, then pull out and say "oh no, it's meant to represent ALL relationships" when Steven fuses with his dad. Nah man, the shows already dead so they need to own up to Steven having alien gay sex with his dad.

I don't think that makes sense.

I also agree. It's not that common but it's incredibly disappointing when the showrunners build up two main characters relationship, be it in a platonic or romantic way, show that they would die for each other, and then by the very end either character gets into a relationship with a hastily introduced or nameless background character.

just sick and tired of the constant infantilization & hand holding that's now commonplace in fandom and creation. i've been getting into VNs more lately and came across one called "the kid at the back" that seemed promising despite being in progress until i found out the creator keeps insisting people to enjoy & view the VN exactly the way she does. i understand wanting your intentions and overall vision to be understood & honored by your audience, but getting so worked up over some people thirsting over your yandere character that driving them away from your VN essentially becoming a goal of yours is insane. like, that should never be part of your creating process whatsoever. it's genuinely so retarded to me. yanderes & dark tropes overall aren't okay in reality, but they're interesting to explore and play with in fiction anyway. and i say that as someone that experienced an equivalent of a 'yandere' before among other stuff. that and people will thirst over any and everything on here. i don't understand how dark fiction creators like her don't accept these simple truths and instead opt for giving themselves the headache of trying to control how people engage with their creations. and for this creator it's especially hypocritical and hilarious when she says the VN isn't a romance one in picrel but in her twitter bio it literally says, "The Kid at the Back is a Romantic Yandere Thriller Indie Visual Novel". i keep coming across shit like this in fandom from all angles no matter where i go or look and it always feels like i'm being lectured to by old, religious people that can't handle seeing skin without fainting. it's so bizarre.. even more so knowing said creator is around my age (20+). i know the reasons behind why fandom is the way it is today yada yada but it sincerely sucks that it's so difficult to find things/spaces/people that are inherently mature and don't undermine your intellect in any way for weird reasons. it's unserious. and tbh i might still buy and play it since i'm in love with the art style and mystery but it doesn't have that weight to it that it did to me before finding this out. like the whole VN is silly to me in a way rather than this genuine, cool thing it was apparently supposed to be. sigh

Having Peridot try to fuse with Garnet to represent "asexuality" was always a fumble in my opinion. If you ignore that episode, then fusions representing all kinds of relationships makes sense. Steven and Amethyst always had a brother/sister kind of bond and that's especially the case when they fuse in the show. Jasper literally only fused with Lapis because she needed the utility of being bigger and stronger (and that's all Jasper really cares about when she's begging Lapis to refuse with her later in the show, there's 0 physical attraction shown or implied; she just wants to be a big fuck that can fly again kek). Even Amethyst and Pearl fusing earlier on in the show is framed in a mainly platonic way where they're just getting over their differences to achieve a common goal. Honestly, outside of Ruby/Sapphire and Steven/Connie, it was pretty uncommon for fusions to have romantic connotations imo. Peridot not fusing because she's "asexual" was always so retarded to me and that part of that episode was always so uncomfortable to watch. My only cope is that Sugar wasn't credited for any of the writing and maybe wasn't there to tell them that this was a retarded thing to imply given the entire rest of the show.

Think back, lots of female mythological characters boil down to 'This sexy woman has sex with men and then kill them!!!', and who is the one doing that in real like? Men. More recent, just looks at all those 'White women fuck dogs' "jokes". Who is the demography who most often rape animals since the medieval ages? Again, men.

I hate the current state of fandom drama. all of it is happening in gay little discords, but they'll post about it on tumblr anyway, trying to get some literal who cancelled. like either do this all publicly so I can get caught up or quit clogging up the tags. it's a slow fandom aswell, so I get jazzed when there's a new post, only for it to be some bullshit nobody cares about

The west has different standards of what garners women and what garners men. I thought it was weird japanese men find moe women and lolis attractive but after understanding wider japanese landscape, it makes sense now. Still retarded and, tbh, creepy but it kinda reminds of when the goth angel popped off despite her origins being a bishoujo character.

I get it with her because it's just a cool drawing (Ambattii is a retard with her "MUH RECLAIMING" shit) but I don't get women into generic moeblob galge like this, it's not even like it has a genuinely interesting plot like Subahibi it's just fucking cat girl maids for 9 hours.

My schizo hypothesis is that moeblob characters are made to appeal to women in the way women wear makeup.
That means that moeblob characters are, well, cute, and women usually like cute things, by making the fetish scenes seem comedic or the sorts, then they make some women lower their defenses
>it's just a joke
>it's because that would've definitely happened
>he feels sorry and embarrassed!
Add a nice color palette that's not assaulting your senses, cute as fuck music to sing and dance to about falling in love and finding true love or even happiness, and tropes that makes it easier for anyone reading/watching/playing it to self-insert
>happy go lucky girl
>sad girl
>angry girl
>clumsy girl
>tomboyish girl
In which it focuses entirely on how the cute girl is cute "she's literally me! I also love to decorate my room or I also lash out at people when I feel awkward!" And then you have a bunch of girls idealizing the moid character who is bland like a beige mom house, because the moeblob character likes him, therefore, if you're really the genki sad uwuwu anime girl you projected yourself into, then you should like him as well.
So women cosplay the cute characters and try to get their protagonist loser with no particular interests and no friends bf, because they are the anime girl.
I would say it's like a bear trap, because the designs have ruffles, cute colors, cute details, big ass eyes, cute names and cute patterns, you barely notice that you can't feel your leg once it got you, you don't notice the underwear, the random moaning, the squeaky voices, the unnatural poses, the bizarre proportions, the retarded themes, the nasty fetishes and so on.
I fell for that shit back in the 2000's, this was bound to happen again, I would even dare say that moeblob is some sort of propaganda made to tell women that you too should also be more kawiwi and less normal.

Moe aesthetics were stolen from female artists by scrotes, so it would make sense for men to sell it back to us for a different purpose since it's already, by design, appealing to women.

I don't think that's what they were originally thinking of when they made the games, Jap moids just like moeshit and are fine with covering their walls in pink moeblob scrolls, figures and plushies while in the west that's only becoming more acceptable from men within the past few years with fumos and crap.
There are women in Japan who are also into moe galge characters (see: otasa no hime) but I'm not sure when that also started to bleed over to the west (see: cutecore girls)

The idea is that it all started when scrotes decided to wank to 70s/80s shoujo shows. Magical Princess Minky Momo, for example, had a huge pedo moid audience even though it was originally targeted at little girls, which prompted anime and manga creators to insert similar design elements into stuff made for moids.

This. Modern day moe is a result of pedo scrotes copying the aesthetics of shoujo (a genre for girls) because the cute girl characters gave them a hard-on. They're like the proto-Bronies who are vocal about wanting to insert their penis in Fluttershy's horse pussy.

Most of modern otaku culture can be traced back to Eva and Rei was basically the default moe character for a while, famously when they were originally trying to sell merchandise of Eva the actual units didn't sell nearly as well as the figures of Rei in bandages.
Obviously there was stuff before it but Eva as a series really streamlined how modern otaku shit would go down with waifushit and fujoshit as the main pillars.

Nta but this reminds me of 16Bit Sensation kek. An autobio manga about a woman who drew shoujo art and was then hired to draw eroge for men which included loli, and other women who read it said the same happened to them. This was during the 90s too so it's been happening for decades.

Otakus in Japan swarmed for Rei merch and, while anime merchandising has always been strange, the reaction to her character was unprecedented sales-wise so more and more studios inserted similar characters into their upcoming shows for a piece of the pie, spawning even more imitators. I'd argue that waifu tards existed before that point but they were definitely catered to more after Gainax started to print money with soap dishes and statues.

80s magical girls used to pander really hardly to scrotes. They did several crossover ovas, which sound cool in concept, but the ovas are filled with sexual undertones, in one of them the girls get attacked by fucking tentacle monsters. I really like Minky momo, creamy mami, emi and Persia but fuck the ovas were weird.

Female lolicons are less dangerous than a male lolicon and some definitely just like loli characters for the moe/cute factor. But hardcore female lolicons I've found online often associate with male lolicons and participate in spreading gross misogynistic and male pedo shit… They become indistinguishable from males online when they post and encourage dumb pedo memes and use words like "cunny"

Well, they'd have to restructure, redraw, or create new CGs, add additional voice lines if any of the characters mention the MC's gender, retranslate unvoiced dialogue for the MC (as some languages have male/female speech variations/pronoun usage), restructure storylines or character motivations/arcs that rely on the MC's gender…

>Redhead is believed to be male player

>Maidservant feels weird and is like "I think she's lying. Let's go home."

I haven't read that series but judging from above anon's description I probably won't now. Bad Thinking Diary was recommended to me by my friend who is a fujo because she knows I want more good GL. I've noticed it's quite popular even with straight girls. I think this is because all the girls are drawn very pretty, are fashionable and fit nicely into different tropes. Like Kang is the cool one (who reminds me of Murasame from Sasameki Koto and maybe even Alex from OITB KEK,) Minji is the cute, unaware one that is probably easy to self-insert into and Hyera is the bad bitch, pretty fuck boy. I loved the dynamic between Hyera and Minjae because it was really hot to me and wanted to see more tropes like that in GL. Like a pathetic inexperienced girl lusting after her player senpai and getting toyed with but the senpai ends up actually returning her feelings. But all that said I dropped it because I got bored. Also I wish there was more variety in how they looked and they had bush. The sex scenes were pretty good but not enough for me to keep reading. If I was a teenager I would've been really into it though. I just need a more interesting plot, less sanitized story and more deep characters for me to get invested these days.
