"Yeah, go crying to your momma! She will tell you how good I was last night!" Flame War refused to leave my mind so I did a quickie of her

Fun fact- I partially based her off Legacy Prowl figure and her IDW2 look

Advice for Fandom Newbies

I posted a big rant about bad Kingdom Hearts shipping culture. I wanted to section off its epilogue, which is stuff I wish people told me when I first got into fandom.

Gay ships are okay. They are someone else’s interpretation of the characters. They are allowed to have that opinion. You are not homophobic/a monster for not liking the ship, or having a different opinion.

If you don’t like something, don’t look at it. That’s not an attack. That’s for your safety. Click the back button. Close the tab. Block the person.

Your hatred of a ship or type of content will not make it disappear. Your comment will never make content you don’t like get deleted. Attacking the author of a fic with a pairing you hate will do nothing but hurt someone’s feelings.

Blocking is not cowardly. The block function exists to protect you. If a conversation is going south, or morphs into a personal attack, block them.

If you have a ship you really like, it doesn’t have to be “canon” or “right”. If the ship-cult is trying to insist that it is, be wary (they could be exaggerating in light-hearted fun). If they attack people with other opinions, cut ties or block.

A ship is not more important than other people’s feelings. Don’t attack people who ship something you don’t like. Don’t retaliate when people tell you to ship something you hate. Block them. On sight.

If you don’t like a character, think of their fans. There is a way to say you don’t like a character other than writing fics of that character being brutally murdered.

On Tumblr, keep character or ship rebuttals out of their tag. Censor ship names or character names. This isn’t an “unalive” situation where using the full word is important.

Never, ever, ever bring the conversation out of the fandom and into personal attacks. For example, if someone says “I don’t like this ship”, your response shouldn’t be “kill yourself” or “you’re a bad person”. Your response should be ignoring them (if they are non-aggressive) or blocking them (if they are).

Street Performer Fight in Mexico Turns Into a Literal Flame War

There is competition among street performers over who gets to perform in certain areas and street corners. Apparently this turned into a violent competition between a mariachi band and a flame thrower. The video shows the band ganging up on the flame thrower, followed by the flame thrower given the band a “direct” flame performance. The restaurant this is taking place in front of is…

The music shit got serious

Imbecilidades por imbecilidades, prefiro acompanhar o flame war dos consoles do que essa treta de Raluca. Ambos são uma grande perda de tempo. Os jogos ruindo, saindo cagado, online com várias microtransações, plataformas prometendo e não entregando nada. Mas, pelo menos, eu racho de rir com os argumentos desse povo. "Meu pedaço de plástico é melhor do que o seu" é o novo "meu pinto é maior do que o seu". E isso é bem engraçado.

Já a questão do bendito ou bendita do(a) Raluca é só uma pessoa que está farmando view. Fez um monte de merda e não admite. E continua farmando view e dinheiro. E as pessoas CAEM.

De inutilidades, eu fico com as engraçadas, pelo menos.
