Gotta love/s the old "both sides"-ing in the ostensibly well-meaning post re the hate in character tags and general anti behavior.

Because sending death,doxxing,and rape threats, harrassing actual sexual abuse survivors, baselessly accusing people of being pedophiles, racists, ableists etc, and just general, gleeful, deliberate assholery and fandom etiquette violations are all in any way comparable to the crimes of...asking people to tag correctly,remember and practice fandom etiquette (including to please not post character hate in tags,don't like don't interact etc), and politely correcting antis when they are,you know,straight up lying,or trying to pretend their esoteric fantasy headcanons are at all supported by the actual source material. Yup, entirely the same thing/s 🙄😒🤦‍♀️.

Antis actively seek out tags, communities,accounts, events, and so forth, dedicated to character they hate. They go out of their way to engage in this. But, let me get this straight,any pushback at all is somehow equal to that? I'm terribly sorry not everyone is sufficiently mindful of their sweet little feelings in response to their oh so very "sensible" posts. Conveniently ignoring, of course, that even a "hey can you please not tell people you want to kill them for liking character x" or just asking them to tag correctly,or not post hate in character tags gets the reaction of a massive self-righteous tantrum. Also conveniently ignoring that they just keep rage baiting,spamming,and being awful whether ignored,asked nicely or told to fuck off. Or that they just keep going until they do get a reaction, then use said reaction - however minor or deservedly scathing it might have been - to play the victim. Because that too is part of their little game.

"Both sides"-ing this issue, even disguised as humor, only furthers their narrative, and is not actually helpful.

It infuriates me that we are asked to pretend like the malicious behavior is somehow broadly mutual when it most assuredly,demonstrably isn't, just to placate the same people who not only are the actual problem but will not change their behavior no matter how nicely you beg them to.

I'm sorry but pointing out that antis (especially Marius antis), and a large, very loud toxic faction of the show only fandom have been actively, deliberately harrassing the book fandom,and Marius fans in particular who are largely trying to mind their own business isn't equivalent to said harassment. Just because that is an uncomfortable truth doesn't mean it isn't true or that everyone is honor bound to pretend both sides are equal in this to cushion the sting. Because they aren't.

Are there toxic jerks on all sides involved? Sure. Are Marius fans the majority? Hell no. All we want is for antis to stop harrassing us. Similarly most of the books only fandom also merely wants to be left alone, and for show fans to be respectful of the source material, and the books fandom, to tag correctly,and just not go around to use every opportunity to be rude, and entitled.

To say that the books fandom has been equally as belligerent and invasive as the show only fandom has been to the book fandom is insultingly inaccurate to say the least.

And I know people in the show fandom will deny this,get defensive,and there will be the usual tantrums but if the show fandom could collectively reflect on and admit, for one moment, that it has developed a reputation for antis and toxicity for several very pressing reasons,and treat it as an opportunity to internally improve the fandom instead of lashing out at the book fandom then maybe we could get somewhere.

The book fandom,and even its various niche groups have their own internal issues that also need addressing btw, this isn't a "this fandom is better!" post.

But frankly, until there is some greater,honest pushback to the antis in the show fandom I really don't want to hear this pretend "we can all get along but both sides need to cooperate". Fundamentally that would be true if it weren't groups of very specific antis harrassing people who are already just trying to mind their own business in their own spaces.

❤️❤️ Marius de Romanus ❤️❤️ Daddy adored, wonderful millennial vampire, guiding figure and tender, kind and proud, lover, I adore you so much 💖

Ii didn't realize you finally came around to the AMC show! I was pleasantly surprised that you liked it. I agree that Armand is not as good as everyone says, he's selfish and he lies, and he deserves what he gets.

I like that the show underlines that Marius pimped him out. I hope it shows the truth of what happened and how Armand suffered under him

Are you able to read?Apparently we have evidence that these elements of the AMC show's fandom can't even read 😂

I am not a little girl you can scare with your trolls or stupidity, I know why I love Marius and Marius/Armand and I don't need anyone's approval. Nor to go around and think I have the right to judge or indoctrinate other people. I've loved Marius since I was 14 and I've never loved another character like him and it's certainly not going to be an anon or anything else that will change my mind, so you can kiss my big ass!

"People not wanting to see hate in a character tag is just like real life colonialism" is certainly not a take I expected to see today

thinking about how interesting sasuke’s lack of involvement and disinterest in naruto and hinata’s wedding both in canon as well as in non canon official art/merch was. 

like yes him being away on his travels/not wanting to be around mass of people bc of his past might be a good excuse but narratively its still strange that someone whose bond with naruto was the central point of the story, was the only one close to naruto who WASNT there for supposedly such an important moment of naruto’s life when they could easily have worked their way around to have naruto get married when sasuke came back or have sasuke meeting naruto in private briefly to “congratulate him”, if they really wanted to show how platonic friendly their bond was 

majority of the promotional art/merch for the NH wedding involved almost EVERYOENE close to naruto, except sasuke 

and when they DO involve sasuke, he looks like THIS in the photo

why would they have sasuke sulking in the back like this during such a happy occasion for his totally platonic friend? its not as if sasuke has any problem with having his pictures taken or smiling in pictures since he has many photographs with other people where he isnt being like this

so why have sasuke looking like he’s sulking/not happy at all coincidentally in a picture related to his closest friend getting married hm?

not to mention the stark contrast between the way the rest of naruto’s comrades congratulated him o his wedding and the way sasuke “congratulated” naruto.  there were multiple episodes about people around naruto worrying about what to gift him for his wedding. even people who WERENT that close to naruto like the raikage were out there planning huge wedding gifts for NH

every one of naruto’s comrades, even fucking orochimaru found a way to congratulate naruto on his wedding 

meanwhile naruto’s closest friend sasuke? sent a fucking note with a single “congratulations” written on it which made it look like it was a last minute decision on his part to not look too rude. he didnt even give the note to naruto, but to sakura to deliver it to him as if he didnt want to confront naruto in any way possible

why? why go all this way to make sasuke look so detached and uninterested in such an important moment of naruto’s life? at the end of the day they still are close friends. it almost looks like they want us to think that sasuke isnt all that happy with the fact that naruto is getting married to someone else…..

I wonder why

While after re-reading snk manga and analyzing it more my opinions have changed somewhat, I do still stand by with the point I made about Mikasa and Sasuke. Though that point is pretty common when it comes to writing love.

The way Mikasa and Sasuke are ready to throw themselves to protect the person they love out of instinct. Kishimoto did not need to draw Sasuke suddenly throw his arm in front of Naruto like that even after he already used Susanoo to protect him, but he did. And Sasuke did that ONLY when it came to Naruto. And that's not all.

He wrote TWO moments of realizations for Sakura. Moments where Sakura realized Sasuke isn't concerned for her safety. Somehow, SS were able to cope even with these moments. Sasuke must be lying, despite there is no indication of that (once again, they don't understand how writing or story telling works, they rely on their headcanons). While Naruto is sure of Sasuke's feelings for him by now, even teasing Sasuke about the fact Sasuke cares about him, Sakura is there looking like a sad wet rag everytime she realizes Sasuke doesn't have much concern for her, yet she keeps going for him anyway. This culminates to her angrily clenching her teeth and shouting her confession. That to SS is somehow love.

This trope too. As we know, it applies to Naruto as well. 'When you have someone to protect, you can truly become strong'.

Of course, it's not just Mikasa. Love makes you conquer fear.

'I don't know how to explain it' funny how all the romantic tropes just fall on narusasu instead of Sasuke and Sakura's relationship? It's almost like Kishi was trying to tell something to us with his writing.

And the tropes just keep coming.

I need to remind people I'm not saying EM and narusasu are the same. I am aware Isayama did not write Eren's side of the relationship well. I am comparing Mikasa and her actions individually. All of the meaningful tropes and tropes about love are how Sasuke responds to Naruto, not Sakura.
