hey do you guys remember when like. brother/brother and sister/sister and brother/sister ships werent just normal, they were really common? parent/child ships werent as widespread as sibling ships but you still saw both of them a lot. like you used to see incest ships all the fucking time.

like you couldnt go five minutes on this hellsite without scrolling past wincest or thorki or any number of the dozens of popular hp incest ships. do people not remember the onecest takeover? the onecest dynasty? what about elsanna? what about all the fontcest that came out of the undertale fandom? mha fans loved shipping the entire todoroki family together. what about game of thrones just in general? the hitachiin twincest? literally everyone from osomatsu-san? usuk and all the other incest ships from hetalia? fucking HOMESTUCK?

it used to be that you couldnt throw a rock in ANY fandom without hitting a whole bunch of super popular incest ships. it was everywhere. it was NORMAL. because people didnt care about what anyone else liked in fiction, because everyone knew the difference between fantasy and reality. and its not like incest hasnt been one of the most popular porn categories all over the world for years.

now though, with the huge resurgence of evangelical puritanism in western fandom and the massive influx of alt-right christofascist antishippers, nothing is allowed to just be fiction any more. braindead little conservative assholes and bigots will scream and shit themselves over people shipping the elric brothers because fandom isnt allowed to be fun any more. antis will see someone talking about sebaciel and start spewing their disgusting rhetoric at everyone and being TERFS and wannabe cops until nobody wants to participate in fandom any more.

fandoms are dying and its antis fault

"What you consume in fiction defines who you are."

If that were true you would’ve actually internalized the lessons from the Children’s media you watch and learn to actually be decent people.

Terf/Conservative-lite bingo

Bingo or signs that someone might be terf/conservative leanings (even if they claimed to hate terf or conservative) if they match a LOT or ALL points below

Hates pansexual people

hates xenogender

kink critical, spending too much goddamn time ranting about people's sexual preference and what consenting adults do, overall being sex negative

hates asexual/aromantic people

Puritan about fanfic/fan art and shipping also they are anti-ao3, spending a lot of time policing fandom

Trying to instigate a fight between bisexual people against pansexual people

Doesn't want the term 'queer' to be reclaimed or used in any way

Dismissing the plight/suffering that trans men endured

Instigating a fight between trans women and trans men

Obsessed with media purity

Exclusionist and trying to divide LGBTQIA+ community

Overusing the term 'biological woman' too much to uplift themselves and to demean trans women, just another way to say "i'm the real woman and you will never be a woman" to trans women

Ranting about how women enjoying yaoi/mlm are homophobic and evil or fetishizing gay men (this mentality is common amongst sexist queer men, terf-men and terf woman) not caring with the fact that media consumption is not always reflect people real morality, also a lot of yaoi enjoyer/fujo are queer themselves

I often see blogs that match all of those specifics points above (from their dni/bio) and yeah they are not pleasant people, its like every goddamn time, its like a pattern

Can fancops learn the difference between private spaces you can control and public spaces you can't?

That discord you made with 3 other people and never give out the invite for? Private space. Not only can you ban talk of ships you dislike, I think you should!

A public discord with 50 people where the invite is posted online? Probably a public space. Unless you're a mod, you're going to have to live with the fact that the rule aren't going to align with your preferences 100%

Your tumblr blog? Private space! You can block anybody you don't like for interacting with it, and be virtually undiscoverable by not posting in the main tags.

The tags? Nah. Wild west out there. Be lucky you weren't here before the titty ban. Back in those days, you could see smut for a fetish you've never heard of, and the only thing you could do about it is block, filter, and eyebleach.

You're doing the internet equivalent of walking into a crowded restaurant and asking the music to be changed to something that meets your tastes.

A lot of folks don't realise that they're fanpolice, or at least have the potential to be fanpolice (or engage in feelings yakuza style behaviours), and a good way to check if you're fanpol - at least when it comes to fanfiction - is a common sentiment that even I've fallen into the trap of expressing, and it goes like this:

'I just need the author to know they're writing something that's wrong.'

It could be that you read something triggery or squicky, or that the author is writing something so dark, you're genuinely unsure they understand that something is morally objectionable irl.

On AO3 this is very easy to check: Did they use appropriate warnings? And tags? Does the content of this fic reasonably fall under these tags and warnings?

If the answer is yes, then the author knows.

They might not share the same understanding as you, but they certainly know enough to warn folks in advance. It might even be tags that you've always been comfortable with but for some reason, in this one fic, get squicked by, and immediately assume 'oh god it's the author' and not 'oh god, it's the writing, I've been squicked.'

If you're still unable to distinguish whether the author knows the difference between right and wrong after seeing an author appropriately tag a work with something like 'dead dove: do not eat' - you may not be able to tell the difference, or alternatively, are having a kneejerk reaction to something very squicky personally.

(In the case of fics that have been inappropriately Warned for - i.e. 'No Warnings Apply' in the case of Rape or Major Character Death, you can certainly give AO3 support a heads up about these fics. There's a reason those warnings are mandatory in the absence of 'Creator Chose Not To Use')

Some folks are just going to be 'antis' about everything, but some of us can stumble into fanpol behaviours when we're shocked by content we didn't expect to find shocking, and we immediately look for somewhere to blame our unexpected shock and discomfort. If the first place you go is into the author's comments or inbox with that blame (or an attempt to shame, ridicule, or mock) that's fancop behaviour.

I think it's worth noting that there's a grey area where many folks have engaged with fanpolice / fanpol / fancop / anti style behaviour while still generally being very supportive of philosophies like 'don't like / don't read' etc. and not realising that these philosophies still apply to you even if you have an extremely strong emotional reaction to something you didn't expect to.

Many of us are going to also experience this, or have in the past. If we like surfing certain tags, if we've read enough DD:DNR fics 'safely' it might not occur to us that other authors might have different ways of writing under those tags.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Certainly because I've done it myself, years ago now, and I've seen other folks who would consider themselves very supportive of all fanfiction do it, and you can sort of tell by the language they use. As soon as you see a: 'I wish I just knew that the author understood this was wrong irl :/ ' - and the fic is tagged for - there's something going on that's leading to fancop style thinking. Often it's to try and correct a sense of emotional injustice or betrayal, sometimes it's grounded in moral panic.

Folks who cling to fancop style behaviours believe that feeling their own strong emotion (particularly those of revulsion or disgust or fear) is an accurate compass re: identifying moral injustice, and then proceed to apply 'corrections' to those around them who have caused that revulsion, disgust, or fear. But imho, it's easy for everyone to feel a strong enough emotion that they might slip into fancop thinking or behaviours without realising, for say one particular fic, or one particular ship, without ever realising, because they're 'permissive the rest of the time.'

Anyway, just some barely coherent thoughts on the matter that I'm barely even resolving here. I miss using Tumblr to think about this stuff out loud, so here we are, lol.

I still find it so weird when other artists/writers are fancops. Like, you’re not worried that the censorship hammer you wield is going to come back and hit you? You don’t understand that fiction is usually just fiction? Okay then. 🤨

Being in english fandoms in 2023 is not fun anymore. A huge part of fandom nowadays is just people fighting over ships and sending each other death threats, people calling anything problematic, people too afraid to be called problematic, people complaining, people complaining about complaining, overall some dumb "wars" over nothing important. Where is the fun part? Does any of this brings anyone joy? I know i sound like one of the old farts saying it was better before and i know there were toxic fandoms before, but where are the times when being in english fandom was actually fun and nice experience?

the undertones of the garden of eden, the non-consensual activation of vash's angel gun in the manga and the literally fertilization scene in stampede ep 11 goes over y'all head hard just cus you can’t stand the fact that your blorbo is an incestuous freak

"KVers fundamental misunderstanding of trigun pisses me off so much"

y'all can't even fundamentally explain those scenes AREN'T incestuous and that there ISN'T anything weird about vash and knives sibling relationship

of course the freak obsessed with pedo media is a postmodernist and seethes at any criticism of beauty culture

"pedo media" isnt a thing lmao. you think "pedo" is like a tv genre? lol. lmao even.

also idk what the fuck youre talking about. if its because i said "hey maybe people can do whatever the fuck they want with their own bodies, including deciding for themselves if they wanna shave their body hair or not" that one time, then thats a real weird thing for you to get all pissy and defensive over, yannow? like hey surprise i believe in bodily autonomy and that people can do whatever they want with their own bodies

since you love being an authoritarian wannabe cop and you love trying to control people - including trying to control their freedom of expression and control art (you know, literal ACTUAL NAZI SHIT lol) then its not surprising that youre also obsessed with controlling other peoples bodies. its not surprising that youre foaming at the mouth and shitting in your pants because youre so desperate to police other peoples bodies and control what they can and cant do. thats not very feminist or anti-beauty culture of you. thats really TERFy and fascist of you, actually

anyway have the day that you deserve 🩷

What is with Chobits fancop?

How is it something people cannot survive?

Fancop is short for fandom cop, synonym for anti shippers. Basically somewhere circa 2014 purity culture started taking its toll and some people online started harassing, bullying and doxxing others online for shipping what they don't like, all under false pretense of moralism. Funny thing is that even they don't agree what is problematic and what not so they attack one another as well. Literally just bullies with way too much free time who realized screaming "don't ship my NOTP cuz I hate it" wont do the trick but "don't ship my NOTP cuz it's immoral and you're a bad person for that" might do the trick

As opposed to that unfortunate trend term pro shipper was coined, which is a synonym for ship and let ship. And nowadays there are some discourses whether it's moral or not to be a pro shipper since apparently even minding your own business and not throwing a fit over someone's furry fanart is considered problematic 🤦‍♀️

Now, the thing with Chobits (and Clamp's works in general) is that it's full of "problematic" or "weird" things. Antis are people that throw a tantrum over 16yo and 19yo dating, imagine of they saw Hideki waking up with morning wood next to Chii or his classmate running away with a teacher. God forbid they ever read Tokyo Babylon or X, Seishirou would evaporate them one chap in

But that's also something deeply sad about that situation cuz at its core Chobits is actually a very psychological/philosophical and emotionally touching manga. It's way deeper than it seems and yet manages to keep the light tone throught the series. Chii's experience is an allegory for asexuality and wanting to loved for what you can and cannot do (be sexual with your partner), which is issue alot of ace folks face irl. So yes, there's way more to chobits than just cute girl in cute outfits and main guy doting on her (plus their relationship was so wholesome?) but unfortunately fancops lack critical thinking skill so that flys over their heads 🤷‍♀️

Probably because I wasn't raised Christian, but I could not care less what kind of art or writing other people create, enjoy, cope with, jack-off to, whatever.

It's all literally just lines and words on a page. Images in your brain. Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

Anyone that says otherwise is a cop. Reject and Eject, Lovelies.

LawLu Nation If You Are Still publishing on FFN read this:

Okay I am not a person who calls out or likes pointing fingers. But I received this an hour back on a fic published on Fanfiction dot net recently which is clearly marked “M”.

As far as I remember MA tag was long removed from ffn years back when the great purged happened. And I have been active on ffn for more than a decade now.

In all fairness, I was going to ignore this, but these words irked me a lot: "Please note FanFiction does not accept explicit content, Fiction Rating: MA, and the rating is only presented for reference.”

What is this behaviour? Why are you commenting on a fic that’s not even that explicit?

Barging into a fandom you don’t belong to, and typing something so confidently as if you hold authority is extremely entitled and nosy behaviour. We fic writers are hounded day and right for things we enjoy to write because a quarter of you have no basic understanding of “don’t like it, don’t interact with it.” It seems you all fancops make it personal mission to bother people who literally have nothing to do with you or don’t care about your existence.

STOP THIS BEHAVIOUR.

Everything said here is nothing but written on fumes. So if you are a fic writer like me, who is still writing mature fics on ffn and marking the stories properly. Please do yourself a favour and block these two accounts and save yourself from headaches called fancop.
