If you want to talk about the way people erase characters’ main traits in service in shipping (I call it paper doll syndrome) for your video essay I would be DELIGHTED to help you come up with ideas/write a script or whatever I love making videos and this topic is so interesting to me

that would be so awesome! paper doll syndrome is such an apt name for it and it really is a fascinating (and frustrating) fandom phenomen

fair warning though, im specifically focusing on the owl house fandlom/shipping stuff mainly because ive been in the fandom for a long time and have watched the fandom change over the years. but this kind of thing definitely isn't exclusive to owl house it's a very common fandom phenomen so most of my points can apply to fandom in general. ive never made a video essay or anything but ive been thinking about this for months so i figured i would give it a try. currently im just collecting evidence rn but i would love to chat if ur offering!

#I have the basics of how I want the video to be structured #but i just don't have much currently done for it rn #im in the process of collecting data from ao3 to help support my points #i have another topic i also want to cover along with this one in the video #mainly how fandom completely disregards characters who don't have any romance going on #and if they are given attention often they're just being shipped with someone random #which leads into the whole stereotyping characters thing #currently my biggest issue is getting like. examples of fandom behavior #im trying to make a survey rn i wanna post to a few places so I can get a variety of opinions/accounts #lmao it's a lot to do but I have a bunch of free time so I figured why not try it?#lilac post #ask #whoops that was long #if anyone has been in the toh fandom wants to share their experience with it please go right ahead I would love to chat!!!
