this modern fandom shit is not normal. policing every single little thing people do in their spare time on their own hobbies is *bizarre*. people want to exercise so much control over their fandom space when its supposed to be a place to be cringe and free
its more fun to be obsessed with a fictional character if you think of yourself as a 15th century painter/poet possessed by a great muse and making works of tribute
very glad ppl are beginning to point out how fucking weird it is for fandom to love and adore japanese media and then to belittle japanese women for making doujins/BL cus those scawy words are the 'BAD' kind of m/m content somehow
this is the kind of stuff I get every day for just drawing. it’s increased ten-fold today because of a drawing of a fictional character’s butt. if you think drawing something you can see in any anime is worth my death... I don’t really know who has the real problem here
so funny seeing ppl trying rly hard not to imply a ship in a post, it'll be like *FAMILY MOMENT*... I LOVE THIS *BROTHERLY BOND*... LOOK AT THEM BEING GOOD WHOLESOME *RELATIVES*
every time i see a new slideshow on 'how to ship x respectfully!' or 'why x fictional thing is bad now!' i have to wonder if y'all are even having fun w/ fantasy anymore
‘UM this character’s canon age is—-“
good. cool. i don’t care. i do not care. write it on a cake. i don’t care, i do not care. scream it outside my house. I don’t care. i will never care. i do not ca
'i like this villain differently than u and i am better bcus i consume this media 'responsibly' and i don't condone their actions and--'
its cool bro i lie to myself sometimes too
i see some sad comments so let me say this: please do not let media illiterate 15 y/o's growing up glued to tiktok post-pandemic without any distinction between fiction and reality control your sexuality and creative expression. please keep making things! i will make things too
idc anymore im 30 now im leaning into massive fujobrained behavior w/o shame. yes i AM that evil hag who ships ur faves together that you're so scared of. boo
the biggest plot hole in baldur's gate 3 is meeting raphael next to a steam bath with rose petals in his private room in the brothel at his explicit request and then you cant even flirt with him
horror doesn’t always need a lesson or nuance or a finger wagging character telling the audience ‘murder bad’
berserk the manga is not causing ppl to run around hurting others. this is not how this works and if you need media to tell you how to treat others you’re abnormal
We are in an unfortunate era of anitwitter where writing and exploring darker themes and subplots automatically makes a series well-written, even if it’s all purely fetishistic and borderline offensive due to the fact that these themes are handled with zero care or nuance.
it is so funny watching new black butler fans running around screaming at ppl for shipping sebaciel
it's like joining a book club and then loudly declaring you hate people who read at all the meetings
very counterproductive for ppl to think EVERYTHING is 'pedophilia' lately, from adult e-girls simply looking cute to someone innocently saying 'zoomers turned out pretty funny'
it creates a smokescreen for the actual freaks to hide under and waters down the term so that--
I think the most upsetting thing about the rise of like ‘anti-fujo’ and ‘get back to the kitchen, hag’ speech in fandom spaces is like... women overwhelmingly create cosplays, fanfics, and fanart and keep fandoms living and breathing
