I really miss being into Sanders Sides. I miss the characters so much. I can’t even watch old episodes without feeling bad about it because I don’t enjoy them how I used to, and it’s like the show’s lost it’s magic for me. I can’t even see the sides as separate from Thomas anymore and I literally used to be one of the people who talked on here about how easy it was to suspend my disbelief and forget that they were all him. Not to mention that in new videos they are all so out of character that it’s as if they’re Walmart versions of their former selves. It’s sad.

i was honestly surprised by thomas' placements of the sides in the inside out video

not exactly unpleasantly surprised but there was an opportunity missed and that was:

making patton joy.

i get that thomas probably felt like he had to make roman joy because roman doesn't really fit well anywhere else but patton and joy have so many parallels. toxic positivity, overly controlling mindset, things that roman just doesn't really have? i feel like joy doesn't fit roman at all, and if he was to have an inside out character, it would probably be either disgust or anger, though i would not trade logan and janus' placements for anything LMAO

idk it's just unfortunate because i think patton as joy makes way way way more sense than roman as joy and i would rather have roman be somewhere he doesn't quite fit (which- he does not fit joy at all anyway?) than to miss the opportunity for that parallel between patton and joy.

i'm sorry about my actions last night. it's just hard to see how far thomas has gone downhill since it has such an impact on my life. I'm not just another disappointed fan. I don't talk about this on my blog often but i actually named my child after the sanders sides- my little patton logan ross. those names are forever tied to thomas and what he did for me in 2017-19. he's the only reason i was mentally healthy enough to have that baby. but now that he's ruined his own series it makes me so depressed. the characters are so ooc, i wouldn't have named my KID after this terrible writing. Thomas has let me down and i don't think i can ever forgive him.

recent sanders asides episode proves no one gives a shit about roman and im fucking mad about it

[fruityambition]

I’m gonna be so honest and true right now but I just really don’t like sanders sides the media anymore

I truly only like some of the fan content and the story/version of the characters I have in my head. Maybe I just grew out of it but also I do think it’s a drop in quality/shift (esp after Joan left)

Idk makes me very sad. I want so badly to like the new sanders sides stuff because the old stuff still means so much to me but. Here we are

Thomas: i think fans of us would be understanding if we decided to focus on projects we're passionate about that aren't related to sanders sides.

!RANT/QUESTION!

I've been lurking around the ts crit tag for a second and though I agree with some of the opinions I've seen some biggest blogs there regard themselves as "past fanders" which is all in their right to do but I don't see why being critical of Thomas's work (mostly sanders sides cuz wow big surprise there) has the exclude the possibility of being a fan of Thomas's work. That's not to generalise the people critical of his work because I too am critical of some of the let downs these past 2ish years when it comes to SaSi specifically (unadmittedly I think the recent video rather cleared it up more or less) but more to pose a question of why this is something that might occur?

forgetting about the content drought thing for a second. i want to talk about creator attitude. the amount of times ive seen “thomas doesnt owe you anything” is CRAZY to me. and the fact that this is perpetuated so much is such a weird toxic fandom culture? the reason im thinking about this specifically is because when you compare to other massive creators like markiplier, he’s constantly mentioning the fact that he owes his audience everything, how he’s so grateful to his fans for giving him the ability and position that he does to create things.

this is so totally opposite everything ive seen in the tss fandom over the years, it’s like his fans owe him for creating things instead of the other way around, despite his fans being the ones who are fully funding his creator lifestyle and everything he does. not to mention the fact that he actively goes after people in his twitter replies?? he went after ME once just for trying to giving posing advice for a photoshoot and then he proceeded to take my advice without crediting after forcing me to delete my replies and private my twitter. literally baffling

The new video was fun! And seeing Thomas having fun presenting it was great. I just have a little bit of trouble appreciating it, knowing that only one of the last 12 videos on the official Sanders Sides playlist is an actual episode (five are asides, and the rest are bonus content)

sending people death threats because they’re critical of your fave is unhinged behaviour

[prodigal-explorer]

specific things i’ve seen tss fans do that make me hate this fandom:

(disclaimer: a lot of this fandom is great but oh my lord i just have to show some of y’all how your behavior affects others because it’s atrocious)

please read this guys because chances are you or someone you know has done at least one of these things because they’re so rampant in this fandom it’s crazy-

1. sending death threats and calling somebody a “boot licker” and a “d-rider” for defending thomas’ silence about the war. like he shouldn’t be saying anything about the war unless he knows enough to have authority on it??? he’s a privileged white man who lives in a place where the war is not taking place. what productive thing would he be able to say about the war?? leave the man alone, he’s not a politician or a military general. if he did say something, it would probably be misinformation. stop acting like you’re some saint because you’re using bullying tactics to make yourself feel more woke.

2. writing aggressive posts about stuff thomas does that is not an issue. what i mean is that he does deserve to be called out if he fucks up (like the whole thing with underpaying his employees), but i saw a post where someone was using super aggressive language because thomas said he was “being delusional” in a short and someone was on their high horse about how thomas was “being insensitive to people who have mental disorders that involve delusions.” like…please go outside. anyone can have a delusion. and if thomas does make a REAL mistake that actually matters, there are better ways to go about it than spewing hate and name calling. he tries very hard and actively patches up mistakes as well as he can, which is more than what can be said about most cis white male celebrities.

3. blatant racism. i’ve been told by white people that my views on poc headcanons are wrong. like i’m a poc??? i would know more than you??? and i try to be nice about it?? so don’t attack me for saying that there’s nothing wrong with race headcanons as long as they’re done in a respectful way? or that just because roman speaks spanish one time doesn’t automatically make him latino and that’s actually a pretty racist assumption? just trust poc fanders. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE WE EXPERIENCE RACISM ON A DAILY BASIS. white people will never know what it’s like. so stop acting like it. that’s a huge issue in this fandom.

4. a LOT of aphobia. there’s this concept going around that’s like “oh the sides could be ace because they’re not human so they don’t get romance!” like…babes let’s step back and look that over…cuz ace people aren’t ace because they don’t “understand” sex. that’s infantilizing and dehumanizing. it’s possible to be ace just because you don’t want sex in a conventional way. the sides are not a vessel for your aphobia.

5. SO MUCH RUDENESS WHEN IT COMES TO CHARACTER CRITICISM. the amount of death threats i’ve gotten just because i hate patton??? like PLEASE. i’m allowed to hate a character!! i have trauma and patton reminds me of horrible people in my life who did horrible things to me! he’s like a carbon copy of them in my mind! and even if i didn’t have trauma, it would still be valid because patton is a flawed character! there is nothing bad or wrong about dissecting a character’s unkind actions??? that’s just basic analysis. like i ADORE roman and you don’t see me wishing death upon people who don’t like him??? i just block and move on or i hear them out!! because discussion about the flaws of a character you like isn’t a personal attack!!! people NEED to get that in their heads cuz it’s so frustrating when people take it so personally and actively seek it out just to get mad at it.

Roman’s character development when he got reverted back into that two-dimensional self absorbed prince character:

#I am looking at you Have I Grown? #u can die #roman bby what happened #tss critisism #ts crit #roman sanders #sanders sides #I cant be the only one who noticed #he just felt so unlike himself #he went from lovable sweet himbo to I am obnoxiously self absorbed
