#this fandom is full of freak people

svsss is the best mxtx fandom experience bc 1) wayyyy smaller than the other two which means way less discourse, and 2) everyone in this fandom is fucking demented which means the fancontent is completely unhinged

unfortunately the percy jackson show means percy jackson discourse which means i once more have to see dogshit takes about rachel elizabeth dare, who did literally nothing except have a relationship with a boy she liked for a couple months, but the freaks are at it again because there's no worse crime in the world than being a girl getting in the way of a ship for a nanosecond

Say what you want about seven kings must die but the ending got me so bad that I shut down my laptop , put my nearly destroyed sneakers on and walked around my local park for hours rawdogging without any earphones , just the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet , until my mum had to call me to come back home 😭

look I am fully aware that I'm the weird guy here for being into whatever Jarod has going on but honestly I sometimes wonder. Did the developers do it on purpose. Did they know that they're making him kinda. Y'know. Like I'm sorry for being a lil freak but some of his lines are just like. It feels like they knew what they were doing

my brother in christ, you need to stop hating what people are posting about mark hoffman and start posting all the deep character analysis your heart desires or something because being pissy at the fandom won't achieve shit, i'm being sincere

[pulchrasilva]

Sigh I need to rant about certain people and how there is a background noise of discomfort with every interaction after particular incidents that made me go "bitch you live like this???" but all my typical vent spaces are ones where they might see it and the only ones that they wouldn't see it in are like discord channels that are not for this topic of vent or friends who would be uncomfortable with the topic etc like,,, what do I even do? Stew in it?

genuinely upset about how much people miss the fucking point when discussing the actual reasons furries are targeted as "bad weird sex freaks". don't you ever question why it's a "fringe" culture despite how VAST the fandom is? it's because it is largely, in fact almost ENTIRELY queer, neurodivergent, and comprised of people of color. calling us all zoophiles when it's an all ages fandom where, while there is a large and prominent adult aspect (may i remind you how HUGELY QUEER furries are and how important and intrinsic sex and kink are to the LGBT+ community), the main focus is not on sex by any means, and the focus IS on loving and caring about animals and self expression through a variety of art, literature and music, is literally only doing the right wingers & alt-rights jobs for them. i have never seen a group of people with a larger desire to keep abusers (especially animal abusers. yknow. zoophiles.) OUT of their spaces in my entire life. it should have been obvious from the damn start that the reason people love to rag on furries is not just because we. care about animals and like to be represented by animals in art and costume. is that really what made the most sense to you?

If you are not watching the show, you would think that these insane people are talking about Ted Bundy or something when actually they are talking about....this kid

Zutara stans....you can't be THIS MAD about a fanon ship not being canon in 2024. You can't

This is insanity

[thecoolertails]

you would think that the creepypasta fandom would be like, the worst fandom to be a part of (and maybe some parts of it are, im sure my experiences aren't universal) but for me it's actually been one of the best fandom experiences i've had. no for me the worst fandom i've ever been a part of was probably steven universe

[soft-spooks]

i would love to make a promo but also my main fo is so cringe even from a selfship point of view and also i am Just Some Boring Guy yknow

I legit miss times when fandoms were just, less popular and seen as 'freaks hobby'. Ik it sounds hypocritical, but nowadays more and more popular fandoms are getting way and way more sanitized and catering to 'family friendly' content. I'm not saying every piece if headcanon or fan work has to have something 'dark' in it, far from that. But I lost count how many times I've seen characters in fics talking like they have degree in therapy or general fluffy-sation of canonically problematic content and complexity of human beings. That's why I avoid big popular fandoms nowadays because they're gradually becoming oppressive, no better than your average conservative puritan household. If you don't fit fandom's popular narrow definitions of how characters should behave, how ships should be like and what should and should not be shipped - you get called out

People here in fandom spaces always being like, "Why can't all the freaks and weirdos just go away!!??" as if history's most influential literature wasn't written by the "freaks" and "weirdos" of the world. You think a "normal" "pure" "unproblematique™" author could have written Catcher in the Rye? Or The Tell-Tale Heart? Or Macbeth? Get outta here with that shit.
