People act like there's a secret competition happening between buddie and bucktommy. We have no power over the storyline. Trying to prove how your ship is better is useless and just annoy and hurt everyone. There's a whole side of the fandom who are just minding their business and enjoying their ship while another side is constantly trying to make them feel bad or ridicule them for shipping x or y or z ship. We all love the same show. We want different things, yes, but that's part of being in a fandom. What's the point if you can't post about your theories, wishes, fantasies while respecting the cast and crew of the show by not harrassing them ? Who cares if a person wants Eddie to cheat on Marisol or for another to wish for bucktommy to be endgame ? It's not like their words will make the thing canon. Eddie won't cheat on Marisol because this is Madney wedding and not about him or Buck and we don't know if Bucktommy will last forever. So we theorise, we have fun, share our thoughts. Normal stuff. It's f u n. At least it's supposed to be.

I'm just saying, if Joker could get the Normandy 3ft from a shooting Reaper and the beam in order to pick up my injured squad mates, I don't see why he couldn't have just dropped me off there in the first place.

Please remember everyone that normally the new regen will appear for like 30 seconds at the end of their series. The Christmas special will be Ncuti’s first proper outing! There is time for him.

They literally had Steve Harrington say “I have developed a lot as a character and think that because of that if we were together now things would be different” and i still have to see people on the internet saying they reverted his character this season

How long do you think will take until someone calls you a fake latino bc you made that post about your family being originally from Europe.

They already told me to "go back to Europe". I am the fifth generation here, and that's only counting my inmigrant ancestors. I couldn't care less about Europe.

(worth noting, the person who told me that was an inmigrant to the UK)

#not that it matters because as far as I'm concerned inmigrants here are latinos too as soon as they come here #but come on now

Okay, but what's amusing (and I mean it, it's actually funny) to me is that anti-BakuDeku shippers act like Bakugou dying will only effect BkDk. If you ship Kacchako, Todobaku, Kiribaku, whatever Bakugou ship there is remember that the other half of your ship is Bakugou. Bakudeku isn't the only Bakugou ship. Stop it.

If BakuDeku is "dead" because Bakugou is, that also includes your ship, too. Don't act like your ship is superior.

Seriously, all these ship wars and discourse is just 🙄. I think the difficult thing about being a multishipper is finding people who act like decent people.

I’m not linking directly to the article about how “Puritanism took over online fandom — and then came for the rest of the internet”, because it’s very very stupid, though it’s easy to find, but my goodness, does it repeatedly touch on some genuine problems while getting the causes absolutely backassward and not realizing that the world in fact exists outside of fandom.

“Though this may sound like a niche fandom issue, this modern puritanism has spread far into the wider culture, intersecting with both a broader media illiteracy and a moral panic that crosses the political spectrum.”

Yeah, it’s almost like we’re living in a period of fascist backlash that’s been building for decades and is more or less mainstream in the overwhelmingly US-dominated spaces being discussed. Glad you noticed once it soaked into the Voltron shipping world.

“The Tumblr culture of the early 2010s rapidly shifted an entire generation of social media users toward the left. That shift started not on Tumblr, but on LiveJournal, thanks to a widespread, year-long conversation about racism in geek culture in 2009 that became known as RaceFail.”

Huh, yeah, I’m sure these cultural shifts came entirely from LJ and early tumblr, I really remember that well. I think there might have been some other stuff with like the stock market around then, maybe a couple of people got really mad about an election, something about wars and some financial street being occupied, but really, that was all LJ.

There’s an absolutely constant incredulity at the idea of fandom ship wars being a thing that people get worked up about, which like. That phenomenon is old enough to have grandkids, Lmao. (I am not a fandom person, but I am a person with a long interest in fandom and culture.) There’s a constant claim that people using leftist language as a means of attacking, bad-jacketing and kicking others out for personal reasons is a zoomer invention, which at least proves that the author hasn’t much knowledge of leftist history.

“It’s not a coincidence that anti-fandom discourse, which has single-handedly reframed decades of sex positivity in fandom, has also coincided with a broader crackdown on sex positivity across the internet.”

I don’t know how to tell you that fandom is actually not that important, and horrid infighting on a dying social media site that has never been profitable, is not actually shaping the world’s sexual politics. It is influenced by them. It’s not “coinciding”, it’s a “direct result of”.

“FOSTA seems to have weakened the natural resistance of fandom and internet culture at large to the US’s broader puritanical, anti-sex culture. The purity movement formally began in the ’90s within evangelical culture as a way of normalizing an abstinence-only approach to sex, especially among teens. In the modern era, the language of this movement has converged with that of trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs), who enact a regressive approach to sex and gender expression.”

You are literally acknowledging that this is a larger cultural thing and not a group of socially reactionary teenagers on tumblr dot com. There is also something about the use of a term referring to religious abuse that starts in early childhood being applied to even very terrible fandom politics? And yes, the terves have been the architects of the sex-negative movement since the 80s, of course their fingerprints are all over it, especially since they’ve been working openly with the Christian Right.

“One positive development is that Tumblr recently brought back, in a limited capacity, the ability to create NSFW content on the site. While this won’t restore the zany porn-for-all days of yesteryear, it might encourage the return of sex-positive communities to drown out the noisy, harassing fringe of haters.”

Yeah, that’s very optimistic of you.

“Then again, if anyone can creatively respond to a culture of increasingly absurd attacks on ingenuity and imagination, it’s an army of passionate deviants who’ve historically been vanguards of the weird, the queer, and the subversive. They’re sexual rebels and literary freedom fighters”

I thought they were silenced by accusations of Homestuck fandom, or have become sinister zoomers single-handedly shaping the culture war for the right?

There’s some good observations about the panopticon of social media, and ways that deeply unserious people weaponize political aesthetics, but it’s absolutely reversing cause and symptoms. Fandom is getting reactionary because everywhere is, if you think fandom is the source of all culture, grass-touching should be considered.

i very much doubt that the religious extremist thing is true lol and the sooner we stop acting like ao3 is the last bastion for lgbt artistic expression the more bearable the internet will become. websites fall. posts get deleted. but stories can be told over and over again. it’ll be a huge blow, make no mistake. i’m an author too! but sites can be rebuilt. fics can be reuploaded. blaming stuff like this on ‘antis’ and fundamentalist groups is childish and just incites discourse and division, which may just be the end goal. let the people have their ‘ao3 going down is good actually’ wank and don’t pay it any mind, at the end of the day they have 0 power to stop you from writing and posting whatever you want elsewhere if the site does go down

#i dont wanna engage so im not saying this in a reblog #but. yeah #ao3 #like do you not think i'll be beside myself if my fics get wiped off the face of the earth? of course #but come on now

So,

she has her parents back...

But I'm an angsty bitch. who's been planning for this, predicting this, headcannoning the fuck out of the moment they reunite.

And they literally just fall right into her hands?? She's grieved for OVER 2 YEARS for the rest of her family to fall into her hands?

NO TF NOT.

I wasn't as hard on season 4 because It's clearly setup. but all bets are off for season 5, guys.

I want to see obstacle get in their way of getting them out. I want to see the stakes grow really high, both physically and emotionally. I want to see at least one of them die.

I am a horrible person for writing this.

the old days of the spn fandom were so accursed and hysterical. you would have someone coming at you being like "how can you ship sam and gabriel after what gabriel did to him in mystery spot" and you'd check their blog out and find out that they shipped sam with lucifer. and you'd just have to sit with that and live with it.

bbc ghosts is a prime example of a non deep comedy that really didn't warrant the fandom analysis because after all the years of screaming and infighting about the captain ghost being gay (was never much more than a few well intended gay jokes that were genuinely funny and that's okay) it all amounted to an incredibly tragic backstory where he died in his lovers arms and never actually acknowledges his sexuality out loud and after all that build-up and fandom obsession it's not really commented on or given the exploration such a traumatic thing deserves... because it's a comedy show... like what an anticlimax but that's what happens when people overanalyze and hype up things that aren't that deep! you end up with comedy shows trying to tackle heart wrenching queer trauma in a few one liners and it comes a little hollow

#i love the show its just not that deep #very happy for the people who loved yhe pay off and are currently writing 100k fics about that one character we saw for 2 minutes total #but come on now
