#anime shipping wars

[literallyaflame]

okay. listen. if you ever find yourself falling into a new ideological circle, pay attention. if you notice that you’re among people who define themselves as part of an “in-group” with a pre-prepared human “enemy” to constantly rail against—if everyone fantasizes about the mental state of these loathsome monsters, if they participate in witch hunts or (perhaps worse) poke bears and court harassment on purpose to comfort each other over—get the fuck out. you haven’t been enlightened to some grand conspiracy, there are no evil “enemies” or “degenerates” trying to rip apart the fabric of society, and you do not have the moral duty to “enlighten” anyone to whatever you think the “truth” is. it’s neither safe nor normal to spend hours of your day fighting with strangers on the internet

a lot of people wear this shit like a badge of honor, but it’s also not normal to hide your “in-group” status as a form of martyrdom, relishing when the “enemy” slips up around you. it’s comforting in the moment, but in the long run, you’re alienating yourself from the world outside of your bubble. the more you alienate yourself, the more vulnerable and lonely you become, and the harder it is to reject the comfort of belonging to the “in-group”

i’m writing this from the perspective of someone who grew up in a cesspool of awful, cult-like rural churches—which is its own situation—but i see similar shit happening in online communities all the time, both within and 800 miles outside of my own ideological principles. yes, every toxicass radfem i block seems to be trapped in a version of this vicious cycle, but i also see it happening in random queer circles and niche fandom communities. no one is immune, not even me. i’ve watched people fall into this shit and never make it out. be careful

#some ideologies come pre-baked with this nonsense #because they naturally revolve around an in-group and an out-group #but i swear to god people will start acting like this over fucking #anime shipping wars #which probably seems harmless to most people #but those communities skew very young #and i have no doubt that it can be psychologically damaging #no matter how inconsequential it seems to my jaded 26 year old brain #me when i make a post

The Nuzi Hate Is Ridiculous And Just Saddening/Defending Nuzi.

Alright, so...let me just start off saying that this'll be the last time I'm going to discuss anything drama related, especially what goes on in the Murder Drones Community. Honestly, at least over here on Tumblr, the fandom isn't that bad and awful and is not that much of a trainwreck as it is over on the toxic bird site, but this is something that just NEEDS to be discussed in general. This situation and just the insane amount of drama and fighting that's been happening with the MD fandom lately has honestly been tiring and has taken a toll on me. it honestly has, if I'm gonna be honest, it's been draining and I just don't wanna talk and deal with this anymore. I just wanna move on from this situation and continue obsessing over and watching my favorite robot show and not deal with any of this unnecessary and childish drama anymore!

Anyways, for those who don't know, there's been a lot of arguing and fighting in the Murder Drones fandom as of lately, at least on over on Twitter, but it's been happening over on things like Tik Tok, even YouTube and it isn't uncommon exactly, but it is something that's gotten worse in as the show continues to grow in popularity. The main discussion and arguments when it comes to shipping in the Murder Drones fandom are between Envy (N X V) and Nuzi (N X Uzi) there's other ships in the fandom people like, but Envy and Nuzi are two of the most popular ones and the ones who are often the topics when it comes to shipping wars. I've already discussed and talked about the craziness and drama that's been happening with the fandom with some fans harassing and going after the VA's, people getting on them for their opinions, trying to switch things around to fulfill their egos, ect. But, the main thing I'm going to be talking about with today's topic is Nuzi and the amount of unnecessary hate it's gotten and how I think it's unfair, because it's seriously gotten worse and worse. And if you don't know what the ship Nuzi is and aren't very familiar with the ship or MD itself as a whole, basically, Nuzi is the pairing between Serial Designation N and Uzi Doorman from Murder Drones, who are two of our main characters in the show. Now, people have been shipping these two since the pilot and have enjoyed their interactions and at first in the beginning of the show it seems the show was hinting at the two being just good friends but as time went on, the show started to develop and explore the two and things started to change and the show has started hinting at both N and Uzi starting an eventual romance down the line and hinting at some romantic tension going between them. Now with Uzi, it seems she's definitely starting to fall in love with N and gaining feelings for him, but she seems to downside her crush on him and it's pretty one-sided since meanwhile with N and his side of things, he seems clueless and isn't aware of Uzi's feelings and it seems that he only sees Uzi as a friend and nothing more beyond that and the show hasn't hinted on how N feels about Uzi right now..of course, it's too early to tell for where the relationship between these two will go and it's too early to have N and Uzi fall in love and start an relationship but there is potential and room for them to start a relationship eventually, there's room to dive more into their dynamic and relationship and potential to have a good romance between the two.

Now, as I've stated..Nuzi has gotten an extreme amount of hate lately, some misinformation and rumors have been spread around in the fandom to the point it's caused people to start attacking others who are fans/love the ship and started going after and harassing fans who make fanart of the two, anits and especially diehard shippers of both Envy and Thuzi, (but it's mostly Envy shippers) keep on throwing around and saying the excuses on how Nuzi is a "P*oship" and how N is an adult and Uzi is a minor and how they're siblings, or say how, "Uzi has a crush on Thad!" "N has a crush on V and even admitted it!!" And they'll just use EVERY excuse in the book..they'll turn shit around and do whatever they can to make people feel bad and shitty for simply even adoring and liking Nuzi and finding it cute, hell it's even gotten to the point where some fans started going after others for liking other ships in the fandom like Vizzy/Pink Lemonade, and just any ships involving WD X DD. I'm not kidding, I've seen fans and others argue that Nuzi wouldn't work out because both N and Uzi are different robot species and how on N has killed and slaughtered Uzi's people. Apparently because both N and Uzi can't make a good pairing because they're apparently, "boring and uninteresting" and one is a WD and the other is a DD, but because both V and N are DD's and because they knew each other in the past that automatically means something..? Seriously?? I'm not joking when I say some of these fans are downright ridiculous and childish, they'll do whatever they can to stop people from liking ships like Nuzi and shame people for even enjoying it and make childish hate posts on said ship constantly, and it's overall just so hurtful and ridiculous, Dude. And it's people like them that make this fandom look awful and downright toxic, it's people like them that make others think that everyone in the fandom is like this when that's far from the truth!

I'm honestly really sick and tired of how this fandom mistreats and bullies other people just for simply liking different ships, people have stated that they feel hurt and feel like they can't like certain ships without them being attacked and shitted on, they feel like they can't like something they enjoy without others dragging them down and being hated on. It's ridiculous how some of these fans see Nuzi as the most awful and horrendous ever made and it needs to be forgotten forever. It's ridiculous and laughable how some of these people point out and rant on how much they hate Nuzi, only to make it the only thing they talk about and mention 24/7, some of these people literally just whine and complain about how they're not a fan of said ship. I mean, it's totally fine and okay to not like certain ships and you don't have to love and enjoy the same things as others do, but you don't need to make hate posts all the time and bash others for finding comfort and liking the ship they like, you don't need to make rants 24/7 on how you despite said ship..it just makes you look so damn childish and just unbearable, like okay..you're not a fan of certain ships, okay? JUST MOVE ON!! WE GET IT, just stop harassing and making us feel like shit and horrible people, stop making us feel terrible for loving Nuzi, just move on and just don't interact with us if it bothers some of you so damn much. I mean, it's gotten so bad that some have left the MD fandom because of the toxicity and childish behavior from some of these fans. Just please stop and be nice to one another, it's not right how some of you will harass and do whatever you can to make people feel shitty for enjoying what they love and trying to paint them out as these awful individuals. Like seriously, I just cannot stand shipping wars and I really despise them, shipping wars are such a waste of time and are just an excuse to harass and cause unnecessary drama and it just results with people getting hurt. And I've said this many times before and I'm gonna say it again, shipping shouldn't be the ONLY thing to focus on when watching and getting into any piece of media. There's much more to love and look forward to, there's more to appreciate and shows have more to offer than just ships, SHIPPING AIN'T EVERYTHING.

One more thing I'm gonna add and talk about before we finish up is that..I don't even understand and get the hate Nuzi has received, I mean I'm fine and totally alright with people seeing them as friends and respect their opinions. But, what's with some of these people just disliking and harassing people for seeing the two more than just friends and wanting them to be something more? I've seen people argue and say that it's either too cliche and just call both Uzi and N, Starco 2.0. And it's just ridiculous how some of these fans and antis act whenever there's moments with Uzi and N together or when the show is hinting at a possibility of the two being an item someday. Is this seriously how these toxic fans are gonna act whenever Nuzi have any moments together?? Whether it's romantic or not? It just seems the idea of Uzi and N being something more just burns these fans up inside and just frustrates them to the core. Nuzi ISN'T what you guys think it is and it's more than that, nothing is being rushed and forced and nothing is being written poorly between them either, and they AREN'T another Starco. Also, Nuzi isn't just here for fanservice, these moments we've gotten with Uzi and N were already planned out and worked on, MD has been in the works and in production since about 2020, wayyy before the show even came out and before the fandom was even a thing. Uzi and N were already planned and hinted at being something more and having something special between them, they were always meant to have something deeper and important and the show seems to be going the route in wanting to develop further into Uzi and N's dynamic and their relationship as a whole. The scenes we've gotten for Uzi and N have always been planned out and if Nuzi happens and becomes a thing in the series, it's because Liam wants it to be and planned it that way, NOT BECAUSE OF FANSERVICE!! It's fine if you're not a fan of the pairing and just don't find any interest in it, you can love and like what you want. But please stop acting like it's a big deal and something to get angry about, because it's not..it's not worth it. It's not worth throwing tantrums and acting over the top about, just move on and ignore.

Anyways, this is all I've wanted to talk about when it comes to this Nuzi hate and the drama that surrounds the ship when it comes to the fandom, I've just wanted to give my thoughts. Also, everyone in the Murder Drones Community, just PLEASE be nice and kind to one another and respect each other's opinions. ♥️ You guys are better than this and getting into arguments and shipping wars aren't worth it and are just plain silly, doing any of this just results in people being hurt and affected, getting into shipping wars aren't worth it and they're are better things to do. Please, be nice to each other and if you aren't a fan of certain ships in the show then that's fine and alright. Just move on and scroll away and respect other's feelings and opinions, you don't have to like a ship that's popular or what many seem to like! Just don't be a dick and treat others like crap and make hate posts just because you're not a fan of said ship, just please move on and keep moving forward! Plain and simple, just ignore and move on with your day, mistreating and hurting others just isn't worth it.

Ichiruki and Pro Shipping

It is 100% okay if someone doesn’t like the Ichiruki ship, but one thing that bugs me is how the anti Ichiruki shippers claim their relationship is a pro ship. I’m genuinely confused as to why someone would say that when there are multiple popular ships that resemble theirs. For example Inuaysha and Kagome, Inuyasha is well over 50 and Kagome is 14. Kamisama Kiss: Tomoe is well over 100 (like Rukia) and Nanami is 17 (like Ichigo). There are plenty more ships like that where it includes a human and non human in a relationship, canon or not. My concern is how is something like that okay when it’s your favorite/canon ship but when it’s Ichiruki it’s a problem. Ichiruki fans may argue that Ichigo isn’t human (which technically would be true) but anti Ichiruki fans would say that it’s still a proship because Ichigo is partly human. So Ichigo isn’t human when you want to over sexualize him, but all of a sudden his race & age matters when Ichiruki is involved. I don’t understand that. The same thing could be said for the people that also over sexualize Toshiro (which personally makes me uncomfortable). So It’s okay because Toshiro is “over 100” but is he not CLEARLY a child? If he was human wouldn’t he be considered a child? It’s the same thing with Rukia to me, yes she is over 100 but is she not clearly a peer to Ichigo or am I tripping? Idk maybe the age is a thing that only applies when you need to use it as an explanation to defend yourself but hey I guess it’s not my place to assume 🤷🏽‍♀️

The BLEACH ending isn't bad because of the ships. It's bad because it's fucking bad. It's anticlimactic garbage haphazardly slapped on to conclude the series as fast as possible. It is genuinely more frustrating to me than it should be that genuine criticisms of this series are overshadowed by people bitching about the ship. We know IchiRuki's relationship was more interesting, get OVER it.

The world's greatest liar - 🃏🍃

Artist's Comments Been dying to draw Gen since last year <3 I really love Dr. Stone, is such a good serie, the plot is interesting, its cast is great and full of many love-able characters plus such a great art-style with a nice anime adaptation ~ I can't wait for the next season to get adapted!

About my fave characters, goodness I really really really liked Senku since the start of the serie (plus latin spanish adaptation, his VA has such a deep-sexy voice and fits him soooo well). It's the first time (or the first time in a while) since I actually like a protagonist (back then in 2020 when I first watched it). But then, Gen appeared, and he gave Senku a telescope and sang the manganesium song and I went nuts. I couldn't decide which one I liked best, they're both such great characters! I ended up being a bit more fond of Gen, he's such a homie, he deserves the best... well they all do. So, here you go, have my Mentalist's tribute ~ I hope I get to draw more dcst in the future :D

#gen #asagiri gen #dcst #dr stone #mentalist #あさぎりゲン #time for some random facts too #back then in 2020 im sure i already shipped him with senku #but went hardcore just recently (last year) #since I began watching the stone wars arc and reached the anime (treasure island) before the got the second part of the 3rd season out #tho i do want to draw senku by himself too #I do want to draw them together #someday #now that i practiced a bit #i can go back to my unfinished drawing #tho #i have to change platform #my ps acc died ($$$) so can't use it anymore #this one is made on clip studio #is not so bad #miss my old brushes but this does the job done

TLDR; It’s okay to ship but don’t be disrespectful towards canon ships.

Something that bugs me is I keep on seeing # AntiBleach ending.

That would be understandable if the ending was shit and Kubo just killed off everyone (I’m just making up stuff but you know what I mean).

But people are mad because Rukia married Renji, and vice versa with Ichigo and Orihime. I keep on seeing stuff like “Oh Rukia is so sad that Ichigo married Orihime”, when Rukia got married first.

I feel like most (not saying all) IchiRuki shippers use the first arc as a reason. “Like oh he likes her”, when it’s he had to make it up to her for him sharing her powers. It’s almost like a debt.

But I feel like the Hueco Mundo arc is not brought up enough. Like yeah Orihime is his friend and if your friend got kidnapped by some weirdos you would want to save them too, but obviously it’s a lot more than that. I don’t have the brain power (at the moment) to elaborate but my mind just goes to Hollow Ichigo.

I think in the end it’s about respectful of other peoples ships (as long as it’s not com/proship, because remember that most of them are high schoolers, starting from 15-and 18 in TYBW).

For me example, I don’t care for ByaHisa. I think it’s okay, because it’s canon and it does matter to the canon. Am I the biggest fan? No. But I don’t hate it. (As a kid I did but I was also really dumb and didn’t understand the nuances of it, so on behalf of 10 y/o me I’m sorry)

But when I think about why, it’s all stuff that’s happened in the past and not in the ending:

- He and Hisana will NEVER meet again, because he is going to Hell.

- They’re not supposed to have a happy ending

- Her being alive would be too complex and I get grossed out thinking about it:

• Since she is his wife, and she is also Rukia’s sister, if she was alive then would that be incest? (I know they’re not blood related but it’s like a step sibling situation) Because Byakuya is her husband (Hisana) but also Rukia’s brother and she sees him as her older brother and not as her brother-in-law. (Trust me there is a difference)

I’m going to stop here because if I continue I will fight my way into making a case for HalKuya (also HarrKuya, it used to be ByaBel but omg that was such a bad ship name).

So what did we (hopefully) learn?:

It’s okay to ship but don’t be disrespectful towards canon ships.

(unless it was really meant to show a harmful relationship, then you can say it, but in the context of BLEACH there really is none).
