Fandom Problem #4597:

Even if fiction does effect reality you have to concede that artists and creators can't be held responsible for every possible reaction a person could possibly have to their creation. Case in point, look at all the kids shows that are about kindness, understanding, and peaceful conflict resolution, that go on to acquire massive fanbases of some of the meanest angriest most aggressive people. If only liking "be nice to each other!!" shows won't make a person nice, I'm not worried about liking fucked up stuff making someone evil.

Fandom Problem #4373:

Kids in fandom need to realize if they want to sit at the adult table they need to act like an adult. If they can’t handle it they need to get out and go back to the kids table and stay out of adult spaces.

Fandom Problem #4376:

people complaining about bad characterisation IN CANON just because canon doesn't comply with their highly specific (and honestly pulled out of their ass) fanon

Fandom Problem #4319:

Fandom primarily obsesses over female characters: "Waaaaahhh the fandom is filled with creeps who objectify the female characters!!111!!!!!!1"

Fandom primarily obsesses over male characters: "Waaaaaahhhh the fandom is male centric and ignores the women1!!111111!!"

Fandom primarily obsesses over white characters: "Waaaahhhh the fandom ignores the POC characters!!1111111!"

Fandom primarily obsesses over POC characters: "Waaaaaaahhhhhh the fandom is fetishizing the POC characters!11!!1!11!11!"

Fandom primarily obsesses over f/m ships: "Waaaaaaaahhhhh people ignore the queer ships because homophobia!!!1111!!1"

Fandom primarily obsesses over mlm and/or wlw ships: "Waaaahhhh straight people fetishizing queer relationships!111!!!111!!1"

There's literally no winning in fandoms.

Fandom Problem #4283:

People these days care more about representation than characterization.

Fandom Problem #4285:

People who try to desexualize female characters with hourglass/curvy figures by changing their body types or putting them in more "modest" clothing:

1) Are body shaming

2) Furthing the sexualiztion of woman's bodies

3) Treating clothes & hourglass/curvy body types as something inherently sexual

If you want to desexualize a character; put them in poses/situations that aren't sexual, have other characters refer to them as just cute/pretty/nice rather then sexy/hot/thick/etc, have them defend themselves or someone else defend them when another character tries to sexualize them and/or what they're wearing, don't have other characters lust after them/make comments on their body or clothes, focus on their personality and just who they are and not their clothes/body, etcetera etcetera, you should get the point.

Stop treating clothing and bodies as if they are inherently sexual by inadvertently saying they are sexual by removing those to desexualize.

This is coming from a woman who has a hourglass figure who is tired of both the constant sexualiztion in media and the quiet body shaming and sexualiztion in fandom btw

And while I can't fully speak on it, I'm sure my fellow ladies who have bigger rears, chests, or thighs but aren't exactly hourglass/curvy face a similar struggle.

Also this doesn't apply to people making adult content in their own private corners about hourglass/curvy bodies or clothing like thigh-highs/chokers/lace/leotards/etc. People are allowed to feel attraction be it romantic or sexual or both, just don't shame other body types that aren't your preference and don't treat body types and clothing that you're attacted to as inherently sexual—they're people connected to those bodies after all, and they're more then just the skin or clothes they wear.

I'm talking specifically to people who are trying to combat sexualiztion and sexism in fandom/media by treating hourglass/curvy bodies and clothing as something inherently sexual.

Oh and I almost forgot, this all applies to people who treat hourglass/curvy bodies as "unrealistic" too! No body type is unrealistic, because just like how some people are born with green eyes and some brown, you're born with a body type. What is unrealistic is expecting someone with one body type being able to magically get a new one through exercise or diets, not the body type itself.

Fandom Problem #4249:

I hate when people try to act like they're "above" the discourse when they say stuff like "I'm not proship or anti I'm an adult with a job lmao" Like I think we should all be concerned at how comfortable people have become with wantonly slinging around accusations of pedophilia, advocating in favor of censorship and violently threatening people who disagree with them, and this sort of behavior is being celebrated and encouraged. Especially when book bannings are increasing and LGBT literature is being considered "grooming material", these people really should consider who it is they're actually helping here.

"Critical thinking" is one thing, but the dedication they have to seeking out ANY aspect they can latch on to purposely misunderstand be angry about in every single thing they read or watch is seriously going to do a number on their mental health as well, and not to arm chair diagnose but it comes off as a form of obsessive compulsive thinking. There are ALREADY kids that are terrified that they're secretly evil because they like the "wrong" character or read the "wrong" type of fanfic.

As an adult with a job (two, in fact) I am VERY concerned about the type of future they're advocating for, where only the most sanitized art is allowed to exist because no one trusts each other to ACTUALLY think critically, i.e. be able to make their own decisions regarding the types of art they're able to view "ethically" (because newsflash, conforming to the loudest / majority / most aggressive opinions due to being scared shitless of the backlash that would come about if you dared to express a conflicting opinion, IS NOT ACTUALLY WHAT "CRITICAL THINKING" IS!)

Fandom Problem #4252:

Finds some cool gijinka art of non-human characters

"Wow cool! I really love this person's interpretation of these characters, they did a great job of translating these designs into human traits and really captured the--"

Post continues with a long angry diatribe about how other artists do their gijinkas WRONG and theirs is the ONLY correct interpretation because (reasons that devolve into their own personal headcanons and "coding" arguments)

Fandom Problem #4262:

ND people shouldn't be a special case. It's not "Oh you shouldn't harass people for playing a game because what if they're ND and can't restrain themselves from their interests", it's "You shouldn't harass people for playing a game". The player base could be 100% NT and it would still apply.

Again, instead of "Stop shitting on people, bc they could be ND !", just say "Stop shitting on people"

"I won't be back"

Me:promise?

"i won't be coming back here" is the funniest possible thing you can say to a customer service worker. you're at your place of work and someone comes in, acts like a jerk, ruins your day, and then, paradoxically, finishes up by reassuring you that this interaction is now over and you'll never have to see or hear from them again

Fandom Problem 4327:

I'm at this point getting annoyed and sick of fanon redesigns of characters with this whole "THERE I FIXED IT, HIRE ME X!!!" attitude fanartists have when it comes to them to the point they are making me like the original designs more or out of spiteness.

Sure, there are ones who do redesigns for fun, but the well has been poisoned thanks to the more obnoxious, pretentious fanartists.

It's called double standards, Gladys
