gonna rant again bc im seeing a lot of trans women on my dash having to carry the heavy lifting to argue for their basic respect and a lot of other queer people who want to ??? get mad about that apparently. for the record as usual: im tme, im not speaking for anyone besides myself and my perspectives, but I am trying to reach out to fellow tme people to level with y'all from inside the house.
i thought we all got past the 'calling people gendered terms when theyve asked you to stop' thing in like. 2012. i swear we were allllll on board with not calling women dude anymore, nerfing sir and ma'am, neutralizing collective terms for groups, and all of that was like, during the onceler era. that's how we got off-putting shit like folx into the mix - remember???? why are we here again.
to those who I've seen claiming that they REALLY genuinely don't want to offend anyone, and that theyre trying to understand the dude thing, and they don't want to be seen as transmisogynistic when they aren't: ok. let's talk about it. step one, stop sending that really loaded anon to a trans woman you don't know, and close that in-group hatepost with 100 replies from people name-dropping trans bloggers they don't like. try to open your mind and assume for the duration of this post that I am not cynically trying manipulate thousands of tumblr users into making Bro the next big swear word, but a fellow queer human being who thinks you're all being pretty intentionally obtuse about an upsetting trend in our community
to be clear: this post is about the issue of trans women being called bro, dude, man, etc., particularly in recent tumblr discourse about transmisogyny, and the backlash they face if they get upset about it. this is also maybe moreso about the shitty ass excuses I see tme people make for why they supposedly can't stop doing this.
so let's go through some of the things I've been seeing people say they don't understand, supposedly in earnest, about this issue
"I DIDNT USE DUDE AS A MASCULINE TERM. I CALL EVERYONE BRO. MAN IS A GENDER NEUTRAL TERM"
I'm not actually going to exhaust my list of reasons why dude/bro/man are not strictly neutral, but you should be pretty aware that all words have context. Dude might be seen as neutral in many contexts, sure, but 'woman who is frequently called a man by others' is a situation where the context adds extra meaning to your words, just like calling someone "sweetie" might be neutral in some cases, but if you've got the context of knowing that's your coworker who's half your age, it's a bit less neutral. If you're not capable of reading that context and being tasteful about when you say dude, then you need to at least be ready to respond gracefully when someone asks you to stop. This is the part I'd rather focus on.
"BUT I DIDNT MEAN IT THAT WAY. IM NOT TRANSPHOBIC"
I think you should consider broadening your perspective *beyond* your intention behind the word. people may already understand that you meant the word neutrally and therefore didn't have transmisogynistic intent, but that's not really the entire scope of what people are saying. if that's your only concern, you're just trying to clear your record, not actually listen to what they're saying.
there are lots of words people don't enjoy being called, and in most cases, when they say 'pls don't call me that', people respect that and move on. even if the word isn't a slur, if it hurts someone's feelings, we all as a society have agreed that it's pretty shitty to keep calling them that. if your friend asked you not to call them 'buddy' anymore because their dead grandparent called them that, or something equivalently personal, you'd probably respect that instead of telling them 'but I call everyone buddy!!' right? even if you didn't really understand why it bothered them so much?
there is a prominent tendency for trans women to be denied this privilege, and when they ask not to be called dude or bro, people don't seem to respect this request as much as they would in other situations. when I accidentally use a gendered word and someone tells me they don't like it, I try to respond with something like "my bad, I didn't mean it as misgendering but I can see you were still bothered by it, so I'll try not to keep saying it. sorry!" and most people are willing to accept that. when trans women ask people this favor, a lot of people get VERY defensive, and treat the request as inane or unfair, instead of just apologizing and moving on. this is why people are upset when this happens, and it's why people are calling your actions transmisogynistic
also like you might not be doing this, but a lot of people DO use dude and bro in an intentionally gendered way to make trans women uncomfortable. it's a power play bigots use to talk down to them or otherwise maliciously harass them. do you know what arguments they use to defend that behavior when called out on it? 'oh I call everyone that' 'dude is gender neutral calm down' 'dont overreact its just a word'. by acting like this, youre all just giving credence to those same arguments.
"WELL THEY SHOULDNT GET SO MAD AT ME WHEN I DIDNT MEAN ANY HARM"
they can get as mad as they want!! also, are you sure they're 'mad'? or are they just expressing their feelings about a negative topic to you, and it makes you feel bad, so you have to make them out to be unreasonably emotional? how do you think they should have phrased 'dont call me that' to better spare *your* feelings?
also like, in most cases, these women do not knowww you. if your main response to someone saying you disrespected them is to say "I didnt mean it that way, I meant it in a friendly neutral way", well that's NOT YOUR FRIEND! she has no idea what your opinions are or what you think of her!!! she has no reason to assume you only upset her in a friendly way and not a bad unfriendly way! but she did get upset, and she did the one thing she can do which is *tell you what upset her* and your response is to say "well actually you shouldn't be upset at all"??????
and another thing:
it's not just the issue of using the word 'dude', it's because you're coming off extremely dismissive of women who have asked you to stop doing something that harms them, and because your argument is basically that they just shouldn't be so bothered by it. or that they're stupid, irrational, or otherwise crazy for telling you that it bothered them at all, just because you Technically used a gender neutral word according to Your Rules. be honest, does that seem fair? If people were calling you something that bothered you enough to ask them to stop, and they responded like this, how would it make you feel?
focusing solely on your intent and what the words mean when you use them is the same thing as saying "just get over it". no woman should need to Prove to you that 'dude' is gendered for you to care about what she's saying. the fact that you're asking people to do that sucks and makes you look bad, which is why people are arguing with you and calling you a misogynist.
especially those of you who are only doing this with trans women who are actively arguing with. you're wielding misgendering as a cudgel and we can all see it, grow up please.

I don't know that much about superboy so forgive me if this is a silly question but what's the deal with Magdalene Visaggio?
not a silly question, dw!! if you haven't read many kon comics it probably doesn't look particularly noteworthy but OOF. OOF.
the tl;dr of it: despite being paid to write him once, she also hasn't read kon comics and it really, really, really shows. i'm talking geoff johns levels of flagrant disregard for the existing character - maybe even worse than geoff? which i say only because i know geoff did read sb94 even if he didn't act like it. but that's off topic; this isn't a geoff hatepost. this is a magdalene hate post.
under a cut for length, lets goooo!
so we start out with her canonizing supermartian. already off on the wrong foot - that's a ship out of yja the tv show which is a completely separate continuity from main comics and a completely different kon than main continuity kon. despite supposedly knowing that, she still shoves them into a relationship in main continuity, despite them never having actually interacted on page in main continuity.
she then goes on to characterize kon as angry and entitled and uncaring, and also in high school again. not only does she directly contradict all of his preboot existing characterization (which is important because kon-el never got reset during flashpoint - he was in another universe and thus dodged that bullet. current kon-el is canonically the same kon-el as pre-flashpoint/postcrisis kon-el.), but also she directly contradicts both young justice (2019) and superboy: man of tomorrow, which are in current continuity, leading one to really wonder if she has read a single comic kon appeared in at all. it's also worth noting that the asshole with anger issues characterization is, once again, much truer to the young justice animated tv show than any comic kon.
also worth noting is that the infamous red hair dye streak? well, uh...
Tumblr media
yeah..............
on her twitter, she once said something about kon-el not being a good name because it's "still a name someone else gave him", called him "the jason todd of the superfamily", and insisted that the meaning of a trans narrative is "burning down your life and reevaluating your place within it":
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
kon-el is a name gifted to him to signify his acceptance into his family (superboy (1994) #59) and he was so overjoyed to receive it that he cried. overall, the superfam are very supportive and loving, and introducing strife just to make him run off and live with jinny hex instead of them just because she thinks one can't transition and retain previous relationships is... not it, lol.
her pitch also contained some outrageously egregious christianity bullshit, like villains named "saint", "shepherd", and "savior", as well as direct comparisons between clark and jesus christ. this is... sorry i really just have to say this is Fucking Cringe. i guess the more polite way to put it would be "incredible gauche" (considering the jewish origins of the superfam) but i just can't call it anything else. This Fucking Sucks Dude. i won't even get into the weirdness about genetic bullshit she leans into by introducing kon's "brother" who's also part luthor, part superman, but "luthor-dominant" (lol?) (do you know how genes work even a little bit).
she has quoted the one panel from reign of the supermen where kon says "don't ever call me superboy" a few times, claiming it's the first thing he ever said and no one listened. to me this essentially reads as her going "i've read one of his appearances and i would like to throw out the like 200 issues of character development he had since then in favor of making him my own self-insert to explore MY transition and religious trauma".
basically she doesn't seem to know how to write a story that's not about herself. as a trans person with a positive relationship with my given name (because as a first-gen kid of two diasporic immigrants, it provides an important tie to my family's cultures, to me) and with trans friends who involved their parents in picking new names and so on and so forth, i honestly find it very reductive and white to insist there's only one trans narrative and only one good way for trans characters to be named. i also find her putting her own christian religious trauma into a superfam story off-putting and . well. fucking cringe. i understand and respect that that is her story, but it sure ain't universal and i won't be able to respect her as a writer until it becomes clear she gets that.

I think about Ernest Frankenstein a lot because he's the one surviving member of the family and the sole heir to the Frankenstein estate. He also is the only one who can pass Frankenstein genes down so that movies like *Young Frankenstein* can exist.
He's also adorable in my opinion, because he was sick as a child, and now he's better and trying to find his way in the world. And he hates school and I just think that's sweet. But also his family is trying to decide for him what his career path should be, so that's a little sad.
My point being, Ernest is a little behind on his education. It doesn't seem like he has any of his own prospects, and as far we know his family is his only support system. He seems pretty vulnerable. And then his little brother dies while *he* was playing a game with him: seems like that might mess a person up. And then his family friend dies, ok. We don't know if he grieves, but let's go on.
His older sister, a critical member of his support system, goes and gets married. She's going to be out of the house at least. But then she gets hardcore murdered, and then Alphonse, their father, dies soon after that.
All Ernest has now is Victor, his adult brother. That is his only known family, his only support, his only safety net. And then Victor leaves his 16-year-old brother, behind developmentally, at home when he goes on his revenge spree. HE LEFT ERNEST ALONE, BY HIMSELF. Victor didn't for a moment consider his little brother, didn't even mention him when he went off to DIE in a foolish little revenge girls' trip that he wasn't going to win.
And I very well know that Victor was mentally ill. I understand that he was grieving and had actually been institutionalized. This isn't a Victor hatepost.
I'm just saying, the man abadoned his creation thoughtlessly, and we all know how that went. So now he abandons his little brother, the forgotten middle child, the only one who didn't die, to do god knows what with god knows what consequences.
And Victor talks about how he loves his family. He doesn't want to be separated from them. He doesn't want them dead. He grieves them. But Ernest is still alive. Ernest is still alive and I bet he grieves too. And he's your family and I sure he loves you and you both could support each other. Don't abandon him. He deserves better.

The amount of hate YQY receives from the general SV fandom is hugely disproportionate to the things he did in canon and one doesn't need to look further than this blog itself. Because ever since this blog appeared, the Yue Qingyuan character tag has been overrun by hate posts.
And this hate is not a new phenomenon either, ever since the early days of SV fandom, he has been a very despised character. Worst of all: Most of the claims he gets hate for don't align with canon either! YQY's worst crime is to enable LBH's abuse but somehow a good chunk of the gen SV fandom will claim he's an oathbreaker, a cheater, an incel and a controling creep.
Which breaks my heart because in the novel he's loyal to a fault, he respects SQQ's boundaries, and the only times he initiates physical contact is when he checks the others health, which never go beyond checking his spiritual veins. Hell, he even lets go SQQ to leave with LBH, after the latter almost destroyed the world they knew! Just so SQQ can become happy.
Yet he receives such an inappropiate amount of hate, that extends so far, the SV fandom as a whole feels very hostile to YQY.
This isn't something I'm making up either, having talked to many other YQY enjoyers, everyone had the same sentiment of being alienated by the fandom and just tired of the constant hate he receives. And if it'd just stop at hate, then it might be manageable, but there seems to be a constant need to humiliate and make fun of him. The times I've seen either SQQ parade with his new boyfriend and how much superior he is to YQY is too many to count. And more often than not he is relegated to a past/current abuser or whatever antagonist the story needs at the moment, despite characters like QJL and HHPM existing. There also have been several times where I engaged with a SV fan to talk about the novel, just to receive unprompted YQY hate out of nowhere.
Of course I don't mean to say he hasn't dont anything wrong; his biggest crime (we know of) is enabling LBH's abuse (and in extension many other disciples) and you're free to dislike any character.
But to act like other characters acted better than him, especially in treatment towards SJ, is ridiculous. (eg. LBH tortured him, LQG went with a group of ppl to harass him at the brothels, QJL)
And for all the proud claims the SV fandom likes to spout of being """#drama free""", it's blatantly untrue and I wish they'd acknowledge this.
_
So, to the blog runner(s): I suggest tagging character hate with "anti [character acronym]", as most people search using the characters written out name's tag to look for fanworks. To specify who you can also add the novels name (written out or not), since some acronyms might repeat. [eg. "anti SV YQY" or "anti Scum Villain YQY"] This might be the best compromise you can do while allowing anti [smth] confessions.
On that note I also suggest tagging "anti [shi.pname]" for anti ship confessions, because I've seen quite a number of those post just having the hated ship tagged directly. The "." is to avoid the posts appearing on the ships native tags on tumblr.
And To the people who'll claim to "simply block the blog / filter the tag": I'm aware such systems exist, but it's not reasonable to need to block a tag or several blogs to just not be overrun by hateposts immediately. Also it's deeply unpleasant to see the wall of hate the first time already, before you had any chances to block or filter. Especially when in this case the hate is overwhelming the tag to a ridiculous degree.
Even then, the chances of meeting any random (unwarned/untagged) YQY hate is staggering high, to the point most of us just distance ourselves from the fandom or straight up leave. So I ask you to behave yourself and make the fandom a slightly better space for us to stay.

Ask game questions! 5, 7, 8, and 23 for spamton bc I'm legally obligated to ask about him. You don't have to do all of them tho if you don't want!
5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?
I'm Gonna Win - Rob Cantor
First song I thought of, though I'm sure there are other more suitable songs I could come up with. But honestly, due to my illness I don't get to listen to music often. I'm sensitive to sound.
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
There's been some really nice fanart, and I love the fake ad ones people make, and the pinups. I love buying merch from people.
Its also nice when people treat their plushes nicely, or actually see him as more than just the "funny salesman." Don't get me wrong, Spamton's is an awesome a salesman and all, but that's not all he is.
Oh, my fave part though, is how everyone celebrates his fan birthday. Thats super sweet. I love seeing people make fanart for that.
23. Favorite picture of this character?
Hm.. there's lot of great fanart of him, and you can see what I post already.
But I guess his shop sprite. It's fun to talk to him.
I do wonder what he would be like in person though.
8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
Haha... heh.... well, this will get long... (Sorry.)
Mostly just the fact that the fandom is made up of a LOT of hateful people, who hatepost about Spamton because he's "popular," or because their fans of Swatch/Queen/Addisons and are in denial about what those guys did to him so they try to pin it on Spamton by saying "he deserved it" or saying it never happened.
Which is REALLY ironic in a way. But wait, we got more!
(_WARNING: RANT INCOMING!_ You dont have to read this.)
Many people can't get past the "funny salesman" trope. They think the salesman pitch Spamton puts on is literally all he is, that he really is this guy who is silly, obsessed with money, and batshit crazy. Does no one know how entertainment works!? Has no one ever followed a YouTuber or Twitch streamer, or gone to the circus or seen a live show? That how people act in front of a camera, isnt how they act all the time!? Spamton doesn't actually care about money, he said it himself; he does all he does because he's an entertainer trying to survive! The Spamton Sweepstakes, the Fangamer ads, the Twitter replies... while they contain truths and genuine things about him, for much of it, he's playing everyone like fiddles! He's saying whatever the hell he can to make you buy his shit, because funny thing, its his job! And the things is, it WORKS. Everyone totally buys in to it! But while I'm sure he does find joy in what he does, it can also be kind of painful that everyone actually thinks that's all he is in a way... they infantilize him, they treat him like he's crazy/stupid, they stereotype him, they make fun of him, they talk about wanting to hurt him... and they think its okay, because "he's in on the joke." Yeah? You really think anyone would find joy in seeing you make art of them getting abused/hurt/killed? REALLY? Ever thought that maybe... its not actually okay....
I guess I feel bothered by it. Sure Spamton chooses to play up all the stereotypes about him so that people will buy his stuff, and its cool that he can still joke about things like that. But... I wish people saw more of the real him sometimes, and realized he deserves kindness and respect like anyone else.
But I think Spamton is a good example of how people go too far, how they'll greedily take everything from someone, even their dignity, if it means feeding their own happiness. How they can't separate entertainment from reality (... yeah yeah, some irony there as I'm talking about a fictional character...)
In a way, the Spamton fandom, often represents to me, much of the things I hate about the entertainment industry, hell even fandom. I'm glad people love him and buy his stuff, but I also wish they liked him for kinder reasons. I hope that if he continues to be in entertainment, he gets to make something he loves, that allows him to be who he wants to be. Because like many of us, he sometimes gets trapped in a role, determined by other people. And while some of it is true, like he is funny and has a dark sense of humor, and I'm sure he does enjoy many of the things he does... but some of it, I think is sort of forced on him. It's like if you don't act the way everyone wants, they'll get angry or abandon you. And that, thats awful.
(And Im not saying don't enjoy his salesman persona, just that, I wish people saw the rest of him too. Because he's a kind, caring and brave guy, and I really wish him the best ya know?)
.... of course, I admit this might be some of my own self-projection too, but lets not unpack THAT.
...
......
You made it this far, wow... uh... *gives you a gold star saying "I just wasted several minutes of my life to an insane fan rant." except all the words don't fit on the star, so it just says "I just wasted."*
... *runs away while you ponder the star*

i just want you to know that your theories are what made me want to get into stranger things, and seeing you and your friends fall into this strange rabbithole has me feeling like watching a bougatti get in a car crash in slow motion. kinda feel sorry for you D: lol it's giving religious fanaticism lowkey...
anyways i come to say this: there's a reason you get bombarded on twitter and tumblr so often. it's because you're always being mean! like mean, in a mean girl, cliquey, looks down on other people kind of way. mean in an unprompted kind of way. maybe i'm hypocritical for saying this, esp on anon, but i feel like that's something you need to hear, even if i know you're just gonna laugh at it. it seems like that's all you and your friends do on here.
HELLO! Well, to start, I’m glad that my theories got you into ST! Second of all, I’m sorry that you feel that way, but I’m having a blast- going down this rabbithole of analysis has been a ton of fun for me trying to connect the pieces! There’s no need to feel sorry for me, I’m having a great time. Just because my content isn’t something you enjoy anymore/isn’t something that’s catered to anyone except me and what I’m interested in (because it’s my blog and I talked about whatever I want to), doesn’t mean that my content is bad/some sort of car wreck lmao. And regarding your weird religious fanaticism comment- so what? Who cares! I’m going to be as deep into something as I want to be! You’re really quite judgemental, arent you? Why should I be ashamed of enjoying something and being passionate about it? Maybe I should have Henry/ST crucifixes made or something…
And Anon, look, I get the criticism, I do, but I think there’s a lot of pieces that you’re missing.
If you want to talk about mean girl behaviour, let’s talk about the byler burn books and confessionals that were tearing into people like James, Stav, Bre and I just for doing analysis before we even started getting into any sort of discourse. Let’s talk about the people who lost their minds and accused me of glorifying eating disorders and told me how disgusting I was because I posted my own genuine, not snarky at all analyses regarding Mike’s eating disorder. Let’s talk about people sending me my legal name/deadname and province in my anon box over Mike Wheeler eating disorder discourse if we want to get into mean girl behaviour. Let’s talk about people like Dani accusing me of being a biphobic rapist apologist tonight and coming into my replies condescendingly/vaguing me before I even started having any sort of actual “beef” with her. Let’s talk about me and James trying to bury that hatchet with certain people on byler tumblr only for them to shittalk us again after we let our guard down & were being nice with them & thought we’d genuinely talked through and resolved any conflicts.
I do think you’re hypocritical for saying this on anon, but at least you acknowledge it LMAO! And what’s the problem with laughing at it? Like I said, 99% of the time, it’s other people coming at my friends and I and making very hurtful real-life accusations (calling use pedophiles/pedophile apologists/rapist apologists) and talking every five seconds about how stupid we are. It’s like, if you had people telling you every day unprompted how stupid you are even when you’re just posting your analysis with zero snark or sass involved, wouldn’t you start to get a bit annoyed with it?
And I also think that when I’m not obviously hateposting, a lot of my passion gets mistaken for anger or condescension. I am VERY EXCITED about this stuff, me using caps or asking rhetorical questions isn’t me being mad or sassy, it’s literally me being very Excited. I can come across as blunt/scary sometimes, but part of that’s also just The Autism and me structuring things like an essay/debate when it comes to analysis because that’s just how my brain works.
And genuine question for you- can you give me an example of a time where you thought I was unnecessarily mean? Because I can almost definitely guarantee that there’s more context to the situation that you’re aware of. Hell, even the things on twitter, like with Sapphicjopper, just started with me pointing out that Sapphicjopper missed a detail about Henry’s age and ended up with Sapphicjopper claiming that I was accusing them of a hatecrime simply because I said it was a bit weird to constantly try and ignore Henry’s canon age and claim he’s older in canon (not just like aging him up for an au or whatever) for the sake of shipping him with Joyce/other girls & making weird/flippant comments about any queercoding he has.
I’ve said before that I don’t have any judgement towards people who don’t understand theories- when I call somebody stupid (as I’ve said before), it’s not actually about how smart they are or if they agree with me or if they understand xyz theory, it’s instead about people who come at me unwilling to even be openminded at all. I’m stupid as fuck sometimes, I get things wrong all the time, but I do make a genuine effort to keep an open mind and admit when I’m wrong.
Thanks for the ask! Also, your ask comes across as very mean girl and backhanded and condescending at times, so maybe you should keep that in mind. Your attempts to be genuine are overshadowed by your condescension, judgemental and backhandedness, unfortunately.

stop hating on the Coffee Theory ffs
ok listen.
I've considered Aziracrow to be amoral & selfish AT BEST, and hedonistic, uncaring and totally disregarding of human free will, nature, or anything but them selves at worst, WELL before s2. My views of both of these characters are, and always have been, FAR harsher than anything these anti-Coffee Theory posts are arguing for.
I'm also really, really, REALLY tired of seeing ppl getting heated and making "anti"/"critical" posts ovr a random, fluffy, tropey-asf fan theory.
I'm ride-or-die for the Coffee Theory. I love it. Here's why:
The two months after a DEVASTATING finale are explosions of creativity and expression in fandoms, even if some of it is Extremely Silly(tm). If the Coffee Theory is still as prevalent and simplistic in a few months, maybe there's a problem- but like, it's only been a week.
It might end up leading to a deeper/better theory, I've seen some posts trending that way. It might be consigned to the realm of au fic or fade away altogether once the shock of ep 6 isn't as strong and ppl have had time to rly think abt it. Or, it could vanish as a specific theory/hc, but leave trends/tropes behind for GO/Fandom as a whole to play with.
The level of Weird Obscure Bible Shit that ppl are researching to justify it is genuinely delightful, I've never seen a whole fandom really hit the lorebooks for fix-it content like this and would love if it became more common.
also it's been ONE WEEK.
have some faith that once the dust has settled and ppl start really thinking abt the events, they'll understand what Neil is trying to say.
to semi quote an anti-Coffee Theory post, the fandom will change their mind once ep6 wears off.
no it's not the point of the episode, or the character, or the show.
Let. People. Enjoy. Things.
ALSO.
whenever I see lines being drawn in fandom with terms like "anti-" or "(insert thing here) hate" or "(thing)-critical", and that Thing isn't something that's harmful in any way, red flags go up. this is a time of MASSIVE strife for writers and creators, and Neil has made it clear how much fandom needs to show up and show up LOUD both in support of a 3rd season and in general support for the ppl who make these stories. "anti-" and related mindsets carve up, distract and divide fandoms, I've seen it happen before with fandoms I was in.
this is the worst possible time to start pointing fingers at each other. Good Omens is a solid, supportive, amazing fandom, and the amount of anger and wank I've seen at this theory is ridiculous. I've NEVER gone on ANY good omens tag and just seen a screen of top-to-bottom angry/hateposting.
Click away, mute the tag, whatever, this is the NOT the time to section off the fandoms over something this fucking trivial!
the companies would LOVE if we were divided. they WANT us to point our anger and frustration at ANYONE BUT THEM. DONT GIVE THEM THAT. Get your tempers under control and use the mute button. Don't give them what they want.
We're an amazing fandom. this is a theory about coffee that kinda sorta ignores canon characterization.
also stop sending angry messages to Neil. wtf yall.
for fuck's sake just chill

I think the reason why a lot of shane fans are being rude to u is just bc ur hateposting of him is showing up in his tags, p close to the top so its drawing a lot of attention. it just sucks to go on ur favourite characters tag to see posts abt how much people hate him
Lmao goes to show how toxic shane stans are "if you say anything negative about my favourite character I'll harass you" like grow the fuck up
I've started posting more about shane cause of the harassment, I had made one post at that point. I'm not gonna stop making jokes in the tag cause shane attracts people as toxic as himself
Someone told me to end my life over it in anon but sure I'm the bad guy here. It is so easy to block someone. When I see Elliott hate I block them, I don't harass them omg learn how to interact with people
Edit
Shane fans will literally defend a shitty man and his shitty fans then victim blame people who get harassed for making jokes about him, like I havent said anything that he can't change - I pointed out that he's an asshole (he is) but also said that its okay to like characters with flaws and to block me if you dislike my posts

And now I'm curious whether you're planning to check out RTD's second run on Doctor Who, or if you're wary and waiting to see how it goes, or if you're uninterested entirely. I admit I'm curious, but for me it probably depends a lot on how much it leans into Moffat and Chibnall's style of playing around with the show's established canon, vs how much it does its own thing and moves on from that. Plus RTD def has his own flaws too lol, though I've pretty much only heard good things about his post-DW dramas so I've got hope.
i'm gonna try this new thing where i actually answer the question being asked up front and then i put all my optional "and also" thoughts under a cut: i'm famously bad at watching things on my watchlist but what matters is i want to watch it. this has more to do with my love and trust of RTD's writing than it does with me wanting to go back to the whoniverse.
and also...
very very important disclaimer that it's been years since i watched doctor who but i've been meaning to recently for nine-hawkeye parallel reasons (cowardly hero, bad god) so some of this might be off: i'm so appreciative of my doctor who years because i really fell completely in love with that world and my love for the doctor is surpassed only by my love for a select few of the companions. i also learned from DW that you can definitely love parts of a thing without loving the whole and that's fine - in fact, i think that is what we are meant to do with DW specifically. there are themes to the character of the doctor and recurring motifs but they're all nodded to and i don't really think it's possible for such a long running show/character with so many writers involved to even have a singular arc for its protagonist.
i view it as being similar to comic books. what is the overall "arc" of batman? it's just the same guy in a billion situations, and your different 'actors' are your different writers who write him. i think you can say new things about the world with the doctor or say something about the doctor in a new way but i'm skeptical if you can say new things about the doctor with the doctor and i don't think he should be used that way and RTD seemed to understand that.
i also just generally prefer 'monster of the week' style to 'story arcs' and i found RTD did that more often. i'd go even further and say it's a better way to do doctor who because when i zoom out i find that dw's seasons are episodic, because of how much there is. the episodes are the seasons and the seasons belonging to an actor are the arcs because they're all playing the doctor their own way and what we refer to as 'eras' are moreso eras of main writer/showrunner to me than they are eras of actors playing the doctor. and i think RTD understood this too.
i'm not saying let's throw out story arcs all together, RTD pulled off the arc of all time with 'i am the bad wolf' so it can be done well i just found moffat in contrast to be very 'this is an ARC', let me show you what an ARC is you sheeple'. anyway not to make this a steven moffat hatepost - but it is always correct to make a steven moffat hatepost is it not? this immortal post sums up my feelings about his writing pretty well and an obligatory: well if steven moffat writes so badly with such confidence then why can't i????
so no need for me to return to that world just because i've loved previous iterations. i'd go back because i really i like RTD a lot and it's also nice to be genuinely excited for who. i was excited for there to be a woman doctor because i remember a time when i genuinely believed there could never be a woman doctor but i was out of it for so many years by the time 13 came around and i was so disillusioned by the moffat years. so i sort of waved at the fandom when that happened, good for them!! about time!! i also like 12 a lot and i think peter capaldi is brilliant but when i watched it it wasn't the same for me as before. so actor appeal and world appeal don't really do it for me. it does come down to the writing.
all that said, i am a guy who loves when a story ends. i think nostalgia is overrated and bad and right now it's grip on cinema and audiences is very very bad. so i was kind of meh about david tennant returning. i like ten but he's not my favourite and he had a very good run and got his due, i don't personally need more of him. i would've liked more of nine because i felt he did not get his due, even though they still wrapped on nine very well. but it's clear to me that eccleston has moved on so i also would not want him back either.
donna, well, if there must be a returning companion from the ten years than yeah i'm happy it's donna because their dynamic is truly chef's kiss and catherine tate is brilliant and i'm not married to her tragic ending, i do think she deserved better than that. but i would still prefer someone new because i always lean towards 'new stories'.
if 'a returning character named rose' turns out to be anything other than a character who shares the same name as rose and the parallels are all projected on by the fans, then i will riot lol. rose's ending was perfect and i don't want it to change and just like you, i'm not interested in her being immortal or even coming back to help the doctor save the world again. if it were not for RTD i would not even consider watching more of "rose". it's true that some past companions have returned (my sarah jane <3) but i think if it's not kept to a minimum then that's bad for the doctor who ecosystem. new stories! new opportunities for other actors and writers!
other reasons i like RTD: he clearly still has a passion for doctor who, he's usually doesn't miss with his companions, he knows how to do tragedy and romance while having respect for his audience, he's smart writer and he's an overall strong writer.
tbh i should check out his other stuff because i like him so much and since i'm saying i'm coming back for his writing and not for the world as much. but also i'm really excited for ncuti gatwa's 15th doctor and i hope RTD stays on to write him, so maybe this is how i find my way back to doctor who.

out of the loop on phantom broadway and just saw the paul a. schaefer news and my immediate thought was of you. on one hand i am very sorry but also so looking forward to all your hateposting over the coming months 😭
i'm sure cameron mackintosh, alw, and all the other decision makers at phantom broadway are filthy mega rich so they will live forever. which is good, because i want them to be at my funeral when i die so they can lower my coffin into the ground AND LET ME DOWN ONE LAST TIME
like tbh the quality of US Raouls has always been feast or famine. there's been multiple amazing ones but i would say the majority, especially within the past 10 years, have been bad or boring. and the ones who are good never stick around long and the bad ones stay forever. but paul a schaefer is actually aggressively and actively trying to be a terrible raoul because i guess he wants the show to close or something. i cannot stress enough how awful he was. the uwe kroger of raouls.
they literally just had an open casting call for raoul, couldn't they have given one of those guys a shot? or jason forbach or matt leisy!!!! even that former LND vacation swing guy who doesn't appreciate the role, i would rather have him. i know john riddle is coming back eventually.
at least everyone who hasn't seen paul will share in my pain!!!!!!!!! I'm sure a video will come out and we can question seth skylar heyn's life choices

for your drama ask game *drags in my big box labeled ROWAN HATEPOSTING*
ok so last year (in like spring thru summer) I was mutuals with this guy and I thought we got along pretty well! he didn't seem to think very highly of himself, and made a lot of self deprecating jokes, which I would (as lightly as I could) discourage. sometimes he would make posts about wanting to block "That Mutual", or "deleting posts because That Mutual replied to them, etc etc, but being scared of getting a 50 page google doc callout if he did. when I saw these posts I would be like "omg just block them it'll be better for you both in the long run". but still this type of post continued.
eventually he blocked me, so I don't think I need to tell you that I was "That Mutual". but the thing is that he kept making vagues about me- well, not exactly vagues, since he literally tagged them all #rowan hateposting. the posts themselves were pretty vague, just complaining about seeing me on his dash and calling me his "feared and behated mutual in law" or "behated chia pet mutual in law" (the chia pet thing was a joke from when we were mutuals bc I had shaved my head and was now growing it out like a chia pet. so like, kind of annoying misuse of a fun joke with my friends). this got to me, so i blocked him back. a while passes, and I realize he unblocked me, so I do the same, and we just kind of exist like that for a while.
and then, on around September 2nd. he follows me. and I go to his blog because hey whats going on here and I'm immediately greeted with this post
Tumblr media
so, after stewing for a bit on whether to confront him and try to talk it out, I finally decide that I am NOT dealing with this guy & softblock him. he makes a handful of posts like "this is so funny aslfajdkafsl" etc etc. and then he asks if he should post "the rowan drafts". I respond to this in the only way I can.
Tumblr media
he blocks me almost immediately. and then. the hateposting begins. I counted 27 posts about how I was annoying, hated depressed people, hated him, was just SO annoying, and so on. and other people also joined in! one of them was another ex mutual of mine, but two of them I didn't even KNOW. and also he had screenshots of my blog? from like over months. and one of them was a post that was only up for like 5 minutes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ some of my favorite rowan hateposts
some more time passes, and one of his friends (one of the people I didn't know who participated in rowan hateposting, this one called me human garbage for tagging q slur) calls me a terf. for tagging q slur. and calls anyone who says "hey that's not right" a "rowan apologist"
a couple more months pass until we get to a handful of days ago, which is when I found one final (HOPEFULLY FINAL) rowan hatepost from early november
Tumblr media
like yeah I'm obviously a neurotypical yoga mom for saying self hatred jokes r not funny. also peep that misgendering. anyway that's my drama hope you liked it
I REMMEBER SOME OF THIS OOHHHHH MY GOD......................EEEEEKK!!!! like no joke does this person not have a life like GIRRLLLLL its so one sided its not even funny. ok its a little funny but only in such a pathetic way like you really have nothing better to do.. FOR THAT LONG TOO.....

I am in the 10th grade, (I'm 16 and have been all school year but my parents put me here) and I sit alone during lunch. I actually sit alone in most things. Anyways, I like to listen to music and people watch while I eat the shitty food the school gives us.
I sit in a lonely singular armchair on the balcony above the cafeteria and main school. The layout of the area is laid out like this:
Tumblr media
Directly opposite from me are the goth kids, and basically all the 'cool' lonely and depressed people. To my right is an alcove with a large window and that's where all the gamer-type-bandkids hang out. A few furries were there too, but this isn't a furry hatepost.
Part of the reason I chose this spot is for the lack of Bullies and the interesting chemistry between the neighboring communities. Makes for good entertainment sometimes.
One of those times is the story I have for today.
I don't know particularly what sparked it.
Peace was felt in all the lands between the band kids and the goths, but that didn't last long.
It didn't last long because of the gym rats.
The gym rats, as I will refer to them as, we're the people based around one guy I knew from gym class. We'll call him Wall for now.
Wall was a real douchebag. Shitty pickup truck with a flag of Trump leading an army of eagles in a tank attached to the back of it. That type of guy.
He had a friend who had a girlfriend, and she is the most "that" girl ever. My older brother (who I'm pretty sure is a self identified incel) called her a Stacy when I told him the story.
Shortly after the gym rats moved into the apace in the corner between the bandkids and the goths, something terrible happened.
I'll need to give a bit more context.
The door in the pic above leads to a dark tunnel behind the auditorium. The door is always unlocked and the security cameras by it are busted, so that became the place where the two groups would go to make out, and do whatever else God knows.
The deal is that no one got too much friskier than handholding and a light peck without going to the back first. I guess it just made everyone else more comfortable. I certainly appreciated my people watching not becoming pornographic.
However, all the gym rats had girlfriends. All except for Wall.
Wall happened to go around flirting with everyone's gfs.
One day, Walls friends was taking too long getting there, but his girlfriend was there.
Randomly, she just hopped on and started STRADDLING Wall. No warning.
I was looking around, wondering when someone in their group was gonna say something to her about it being cheating and all, but none of them did.
Eventually one of the band kids, (I think it was the guy who wore cat ears that matched his hair color), yelled out "get a room!", but they didn't take the hint. It was at the moment that grinding began to take place that someone (I don't know who) called for them to go to the auditorium door if they're gonna do that and he just scoffed and she stood up.
Right as she was standing up, who walks in? That's right, it's her boyfriend. All he sees is his girlfriend sitting in Wall's, the leader of his friend group, lap, and people all around catcalling.
He walked up, joined his friends, and said nothing. Not. One. Word.
One guy from the emos that was closer and saw both said something like "that dudes banging your girl!" (It wasn't actually that but it was close).
The dude looked at Wall and then his girlfriend. Then he just laughed.
"I know".
HE KNEW
This dude was letting Wall, a racist, unattractive douchebag, bang his girlfriend, for no reason other than maybe being included. To this day I have no clue why he was letting him do her, or why he put up with it.
A week or so later, she dumped him and started going out with Wall. The poor guy was also alienated from the group.
Moral of the story is that if you use your gfs attractiveness to get popular with cool kids then it'll end poorly and embarrassingly.
I have more stories if you want to hear, that was just the first one I thought of.

I've been thinking a lot about jgy hate posts and jokes.
Mostly I've been thinking about how some fans are tired of seeing jokes about him falling down the stairs and others saying that they love jgy and find the jokes funny.
and i think this is a good opportunity to look at the "p/rn problem" aka you can only know p/rn by seeing it but you cannot define it. That is to say, you can look at a hatepost and know that there is malicious intent behind it, but there's no way to define it without including content that is not hateposting.
Another really good example of this is this song:
I've cut this together so that you can hear the original making fun of Ferdinand and finding his actions distasteful and the cover that is full of compassion and understanding. They are the exact same song with the exact same lyrics, but the tones are completely different. This is the same for posts about jgy.
I'm not speaking for everyone on this matter, like those that do not agree with making light of trauma. But i won't be addressing that because 1. that's not what this post is about and 2. jgy isn't real and his feelings aren't being hurt by hateposts.
the people who are being hurt, are those that have to read them day in and day out when they're coming to fandom for a break. When their place of escape is full of vitriol. That, imho, is the real problem.
so when i see people say "i find the stairs funny and i also love jgy" that is missing the point. the point isn't that there are people who love jgy and make lighthearted jokes about him. It's the people who throw mashups of him getting slapped over and over, or him falling down the stairs over and over and tag those things with jovial anger. it's about being bombarded with the character hate posts whenever going into the tag. its about coming home from a stressful day just to see people shit on the thing you like in a neverending feed.
