#this is tumblr not tiktok

jojo turned out to be p*ssie. he decided to cater to fk side of fandom so they won't be too sad with the amount of fb scenes i guess. well I hope fb won't work with him and this team again and will only work with directors who won't cater to fandom and instead tell the story they wanted to tell from the start

yooooo, anon, i think that's taking it a bit far. now, i haven't watched the video but i'm pretty sure it was a defense tactic to help reduce the amount of hate that top would get rather than to just keep him off-screen. the fandom has proven that they can't be trusted with complex scenes/emotions and i think they wanted to protect their actors and characters rather than expose them to more hate. i'm frustrated too! but i understand why they felt they had to do it. there's really no winning with this fandom :( you saw how they still treated him after that episode without the scene!!

again, i haven't watched the video (please someone give me the cliffsnotes so i don't have to) but it also might not have been p'jojo's decision? at least not wholly, it was probably a joint decision with gmmtv execs/whoever else is in charge. i mean, p'jojo has literally scolded the official twitter for hating on top. he obviously wants people to see him for who he really is and is frustrated that people are misinterpreting him as a villain. this must be especially difficult for him since top is based on a real life person who was his friend.

don't be so hard on the directors, they don't actually have as much control as the fandom thinks they do. a lot of editing choices may be influenced by them, they can give their opinions, and instructions on how to present their art, but in the end it's the company's product. you also have to remember that a lot of the marketing for the series was not completely in their control and there was no way of knowing that the playful references to top being a "villain" would be taken as fact when the drama has proven it to be false every episode. while a lot of us tomafoxes saw this coming, no one thought it'd be this bad.

i personally do hope that forcebook can work with p'jojo, p'ninew, and p'den again because they clearly have a mutual respect and admiration for each other - but i hope it's under circumstances where they can execute their vision for an audience that actually has the capacity to understand what kind of story they're telling and they can do it without all the fucking bullshit of other CP/solo fandoms. only friends was an experiment to see if BL fandom could handle spicier, complex, and new material and the fandom is what failed us all, not the directors.

Weekly reminder to snooze tumblr live so it doesn't take up valuable shitposting space.

Goncharov was special because not only did we establish canon, we created a whole fanon gay interpretation and proceded to ignore the (not even real) original in favour of it. And thats what tumblr is all about.

@girlballs I've been laughing at this for days.

Reddits mods are pissed that the CEO is getting paid 190m a year while they cull CSA and hate speech for free. Instagrams AI is mistakenly banning users for spam when they comment on friends pictures. Twitter is a hate filled bot farm run by an egomaniac. Facebook is a boomer graveyard filled with AI conspiracy theories radicalizing granola moms and your grandad. Tumblrs CEO is breaking data privacy laws on a targeted harassment campaign. Tiktok is making sexism woke and trendy again. 2024 is the year social media sites implode and take us all out with them.
