I know this has been said before, and y'all aren't gonna listen to me when I say it, but you can't be bigoted to bad people. Like you don't get to call Marjorie Taylor Green an NRA whore, or misgender Caitlyn Jenner, or be antisemitic to Ben Shapiro. It doesn't work like that. Not being called slurs is not something people earn by being a good person, it's something you do because YOU are a good person. And if I'm being honest, it shouldn't be that hard for you to do. You shouldn't want to say these things to ANYBODY, even if they are the devil incarnate.
I think at some point in time we need to sit down and start explaining to artist who want to make a career out of art that there are FAR more options than just "living off of commissions" and "posting my art online and praying I get paid for it".
Edwin the harem protagonist is collecting bitches left and right like pokemon. They saw a repressed Edwardian twink and said "I wanna be under that" and honestly good for them.
Twink magnet for lonely cats, crows, and nonbinary hoes
All of my cursed bobas so far. I have one more series planned for sure. Maybe more depending on how I feel when the final three are completed. Who knows, maybe I'll make some blessed bobas to compliment these abominations.
They are still dead, but we unburied them. Their ghosts are now haunting the narrative forever. Yeah they are still being gay and dramatic but they have eternity to figure it out. Literally can not get rid of these gays now. They don't even have bodies to bury. Can't send em to superhell they'll climb right back out.
Not sure how many people are here for "eating popcorn and watching discourse for fandoms they're not in" but if you love the taste of chaos, then spying on what's going on with Black Butler fandom (at least in the anglophone sphere) is for you. With the new season of the anime release it has been wild.
(Slaps roof of fandom) this baby can fit so much drama:
Old fans who've been gone for years returning to find all the fandom spaces infested with antis
Antis posting unhinged "how to consume the erotic shotabait bl adjacent shonen Manga in a God honoring way" style posts, only to be shocked when they get made fun of
Antis angry about how the anime is "misrepresenting the show" by adding sebaciel fanservice in the ED
Old and new fans posting sebaciel in the main tag on tumblr or Twitter blissfully unaware that they're in shark infested waters
Folks outside the fandom discovering the dumpster fire that is dadbastian antis
The main subreddit for Black Butler banning sebaciel and mods declaring themselves as fighters to "end underage ships"
And of course people posting discourse takes that fandom already fought over many times many years ago (does that ever end?)
Anyway, look forward to seeing all of this again and more when the next arc is animated in 2036.

One of my favorites to rubberneck from afar!
(Man, the sheer cognitive dissonance of antis liking that...)
What's some advice you wish you received much earlier
"When people come to you to establish a boundary or a need or to express hurt feelings, that's a compliment, not an attack. That is them wanting to develop the relationship and trusting you to listen and care to do better. And no matter how sad you are about accidentally hurting them, it's a GOOD thing that they cared to have a hard conversation with you"
