I always find the "men are just always written better" and "most media don't have enough female characters" arguments to be so funny, because you can check their profiles and 99% of the time the stuff they're into is like, shonen manga or persona or something like that.

like, no one is forcing you to exclusively engage with media made for 14-year-old boys. If you look beyond that you might find it's not as hard to find media with interesting female characters as you think.

every year the ao3 stats come out and every year people insist that the lack of women isn’t misogyny but because ‘most fic writers are female and therefore enjoy writing about men more’ and every year they don’t seem to understand that they themselves have just described a version of misogyny

This 5th anniversary I have to admit that I do have a laugh whenever I see that people are still complaining about Three Houses discourse.

Sorry but in 2024 still seeing Three Houses discourse on your timeline is a choice. Like, come on, five years in this fandom and you still haven’t worked out you can use the block button to stop seeing people who annoy you? Embarrassing.

This poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.

It's crazy how people will still try to downplay fandom's very obvious issues with misogyny and racism when there's like, a monthly discourse over on twitter because someone says, "isn't it weird how fandom keeps elevating white male characters over everyone else" and fandom types always respond with talking points that could have come from a 2016 anti-sjw youtuber.

Low key one of the craziest things to come out of the FF7 Remake project is seeing people applying ‘modern’ fandom language to a ship war that I was first exposed to when I was 8.

Like, I saw someone describe Cloud and Aerith as ‘sibling-coded’ and I could not believe what I was seeing.

You gonna do anything or make any statement about the rampant transmisogyny on this hellsite, especially in cases like predstrogen recently? Or yall gonna stay silent and keep letting/making us get pushed off of it.

I have a number of asks about this, so this is to address all of them, I won't do each individually.

We generally do not comment on individual cases, but because there seems to be mass misinformation around this, I will make an exception and comment on predstrogen.

First, Tumblr has a number of LGBT+ including trans people on staff, and they see things from the inside fully, and they're not protesting this case.

Why do we wrongly have a transphobe reputation? We did have an external contract moderator last year that was making transphobic moderation (and also selling moderation, criminally). As soon as we were aware that person was fired, and we later terminated the entire relationship with that contracting firm and have brought almost everything in-house (at great cost). I have previously commented on this publicly, several times.

I am not aware of any Automattician (people who work at Automattic and Tumblr) who has made any transphobic moderation actions. If it's reported it is investigated immediately, if anything were found that person would be terminated for cause immediately.

In predstrogen's case in addition to some mistagged sexually explicit posts, which on its own wouldn't be that bad, we have documented cases of harassment. Most importantly, and why they are banned from Tumblr for life, is they made threats of violence against Tumblr staff.

That is never okay. Threats of violence is not protected speech. We will work with police and FBI where appropriate. I just got a death threat yesterday from someone mad about predstrogen, and that account was immediately terminated.

So regardless of whether you still think Tumblr staff is somehow a bunch of transphobes, know that threats of violence or death are still not acceptable and will result in immediate and serious action. Know that when you rile people up, they can do dumb things with possibly permanent consequences.
