#fandoms are what they are

[ilovereadingandstuff]

Was scrolling through Pinterest to find a god Lu Guang picture to draw him and cross my view this image here:

And i ask myself: WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

BRO! In this point in my life I GENUINELY don't give a fuck about fandoms and people having an opinion on which fandoms i'm part of.

Yes, bnha fandom is kinda weird from time to time (a bit too often maybe), but i just avoid the bullshit and continue enjoying the show, because that's why i'm here: THE SHOW ITSELF!! If it's needed, i restrain myself from social forums about certain fandoms or go to another ones for a bit to let slide the shit that can go crazy in there AND THAT'S IT!!

I understand why bnha fandom is considered problematic and whatever, but WHY IS HAS TO BE SO MUCH, BRO?!?! every godamn person i tell irl that i like bnha, is like 'that show wtih the toxic fandom?' and WHY IT HAS TO BE LIKE THAT!?!?!?

EVERY FANDOM HAS THEIR WERID SIDE!!

I'm pretty sure there's more fandoms with ship wars, with weird stuff, with rational fans and weird ones!!!

BUT WHY BULLY US SO MUCH BRO?!?!?!

just like when i was part of the Miraculous fandom!!! yes, it's a dark side from when i was too young to be aware of the disaster that it is of a series as a whole, but i also don't critize the people who still enjoy it!!!

THE FANDOM IS THE FANDOM!! A group of people for any part of the world who enjoys a series in specific and share their love for it in different ways, with some of the fans being as repulsive as to bully the authors, sending threats to other fans, etc, because THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE!! FROM THE REAL WORLD, AND THIS WORLD IS FUCKED UP IN MANY WAYS!! anyone is perfect, much less in reality!! so yeah.

bnha is integrated by many fans who analyse and critize (both in positive and negative ways) the manga/anime, people who makes theorists, people who draw, paint, make cosplay, etc AND people who ship characters, who send threats to one another, who throw bullshit to Hori just for existing...

And that's the same to any other fandom, MAYBE in different proportions, maybe that's why the bnha is critize so much, because the weird fans stand up MORE than the others, but still...we're all the same.

ao3 is crazy because you'll read the most gut-wrenching 200k word slowburn that leaves you sobbing into your sweater at four in the morning and the author will be applejacksmonstercock

"Imagine still posting fanart a whole year after the game came out" brother what are you talking about

[wdapteo]

hey everyone be careful

I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.

so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.

stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!

Story of my life

[maidenvault]

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

I need to share how the IT guy at work greeted my department on CrowdStrike Blue Screen Friday. Never have I seen a man so shocked by the sight of perfectly functional computers

(They were off during the update)

I wanna know where people have lately gotten the audacity to leave comments on fanfics talking about how much the fanfic sucked and negatively critiquing an author's fic like it's a published book review.

It pisses me off cause I've seen authors abandoned or delete their fics because of this.

You're getting fanfics for FREE! No one asked for your opinion.

I hope y'all know as authors we get email notifications when you comment so we see EVERY comment that's been left.

We also can see the negative reviews you leave when you bookmark our fics

[hansoeii]

look at you, you're gorgeous!

[wardensantoineandevka]

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?

[majoringinsarcasm]

DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON OLD FICS DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON FICS IN A FANDOM THE AUTHOR MAY NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN. IF THE STORY IS STILL UP LET THEM KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IT MIGHT JUST BE THE REMINDER THAT MAKES THEIR DAY.

SINCERELY SOMEONE WHO JUST GOT A REPLY THAT MADE ME WANNA MAKE THIS POST
