It's bad enough when fandomtards apply their "trans/queer hc's" to 2d fictional characters, but when they do it to real-life people, that's a point of peak brain rot—the type that will most likely lead to trooning out

>>2358027>Who cares that they fantasize about other women being dark skinned and masculine>All the cultures on earth push for women to be feminine, anorexic and submissive, so I really don't see the issueWhy don't people who make this argument ever complain that this type of art still keeps those exact same traits on all the white women and pale asian women? They recreate the same boring tropes, designs, and submissive waifu archetypes all over again and you just play blind to it. "Masculine" dark skinned women isn't the issue, pay attention more. Some of that art is mandingo-tier porn tropes by people with fetishes. Don't get surprised when black lesbians are creeped out by that crap.
Not sure why people insist it's mainly an asian artist thing when half the artists in the examples aren't even asian and are from the west, known to have race fetishes/obsession. They influence each other.
There's literally "snowbunny mind control" memes going around for characters like miles and ekko, or fanart drawing characters over a porno image of a white girl on the couch surrounded by black men, but I've seen them appear in shit like SU, TOH, and ALNST fandoms and shared by east asian fans.

But fandoms are now filled with retards who like to fall in line with what others tell them to do and are more likely to moralfag or keep others in line like twitterfags try to do. Some people aren’t immune to media influences because they themselves treat media like their own personal propaganda so they’re more likely to troon out, argue ethics, and push agendas instead of enjoying what they like.

nonas, i need to vent, no, i need to scream into the void. i'm recently into the KCD fandom, which is garbage if you ask me… like everything these days, it's halfway between Reddit brahs and Tumblr "Henry was always bi!" crowd. with the news of a male gay sex scene news going around (which is most likely a Hans-related one, given that both fandom parties kind of agree there was always sexual tension between the main character, Henry, and him, so it's most likely this scene, which seems to be very hidden according to the devs, is just an easter egg), the Tumblr side of the fandom has turned into an infinite cesspool of dropped alphabet soup labels. no, Henry isn't gay out of the factory, you discount unicorn, don't you know being horny isn't being in love and fully attracted and devoted to someone. Henry is just a blank slate character and it's up to the player to make him as gay as they want. If you want "your Henry" to screw mountain goats and make him a farm terror, be my guest. but he isn't homosexual by default. so stop claiming he is, just to justify your fanfic slop canon.
mine will most likely screw Hans, just because that twat deserves a good dicking anyway lol.

mind you i don't mind fic featuring ships in themseleves, like characters that happen to be in a relationship doing xyz, but i'm just tired of how most output revolves around romance. it's also annoying wheeh a story (fanfic or original ) purports tt be about many tings but the romance plot then takes over.
mind you i'ml not saying i disapprove of otthers enjoying shipping or w/e, it jsut baffles me how much of fandom revolves purely around that.
i feel it's the source of a lot of fandom issues as well (that and declining literacy). like tthe grwoing amounts of fanworks that compleetely disreegard canon aree usually bc peopleonly care about makig caracters moree shippable at tee expese of ttheir original story and caracterisation (eg. the marauders subfandom).
i guess ppl find shipping and romance more rewarding but i don't get why there is so little genfic when the possibilities are endless
No. 2360317
>>2360286Agreed. Although I read my share of slashfic, I've come to realize that I started to lean towards fics that actually have a story going on rather than just "ship doing xyz thing". One in particular had OCs so convincing I almost believed them to be actual characters in canon.
Its sad when the answer to the lack of genfic is most likely because generic slashfics get easy views; plus its a more "templatey" format where you can pretty much insert any ship you want in generic scenarios (e.g. coffeeshop AU, Modern/Slice of life AU) so there isnt much creativity to expend aside from writing the dialogue and interactions.

>>2360175To add on to what other anons said, I also think that a lot of media people engage with isn't very gen– I don't mean the media the fandom is based around, but more like how a lot of fic authors clearly pull from current romance novel trends (or treat canon in a similar way that fantasy is treated by romantasy). I'm not saying that's bad or anything, or that it's happening across all fandoms, but you can tell what and how widely an author reads by how they write and their topics and tropes of choice. So I blame romance-free/not-romance-focused stories being out of vogue in current reading trends, as well as their being less current popular examples of media using basic plots that work well for genfic for people to draw from (eg monster of the week as a format is less common these days, which is a structure that encourages a contained story about solving a problem and works well as a way for fic authors to try their hand at writing an 'episode' of what they're into).
It's not so bad in old (but healthy) fandoms though– there's still plenty of pure shipfics, but also a good mix of genfic and fics that contain a ship but in a more incidental way. Newer fandoms, in my experience, tend to not be as varied (though that can also be character dependent, sometimes they're fine and other times the character I'm interested in will mostly feature in weird coom AUs kek).
There have also been anons in previous threads that were confused about what you could possibly write about
other than shipfics/romances when it comes to fanfic to make them engaging, so there's that, too

I am so tired of women getting moralfagged while men get to enjoy the vilest things in peace. Its insane to me that women are always getting punished for enjoying unrealistic fantasies. Meanwhile, 99% of movies are unrealistic power trips for men, where they get to self insert as the walled hero who gets a sexy 20yo sex bomb manic pixie dream girl at the end. And women? no, we cant enjoy that. We cant enjoy yaoi with men that are unrealistic female fantasies and dont have to poop and starve themselves to have sex. Meanwhile, barafaggots get to enjoy their buttsex gay porn with self lubricating assholes, fucking lactation(because yes, this is common in bara) and unrealistic balloon tits/pecs that look like women's breasts. Do barafags ever get questioned if they arent real gay men for liking lactation, assholes that dont need douching and pecs that look like female tits? ofcourse not, because they are men. Men get to enjoy cynical evil characters like Rick and Patrick bateman, but women cant like evil women. All female characters must be pure of soul and intent. Men get to enjoy gigaroided beasts like kratos, but women? no, sorry. You cant have your roidstacies, women dont get unrealistically muscular therefore you cant just find the idea of a roidstacy in fantasy fun or interesting. This is why most media targetted at women tends to be so bland, while men can go apeshit and create magnus opus of autism like Strike Witches, baki or SAO. Like damn bitch is there anything we are actually allowed to enjoy.

Do not even get me started on some of the other JOPs here.
The vast majority of FMCs are feminine as fuck, and very few ever get into any "ass-kicking" action. Being feminine, soft, kind, and well-written - yes, I'm sure there are plenty of examples of that. There is just an absolute dearth of anything beyond these handful of traits. You can say this is a problem in media in general. It just feels so much worse with otome games since the pool of stuff to play is much smaller, compared to stuff like romance novels or shoujo/josei manga.

No. 2361650
>>2361601While it is true that romance can be an element within any genre or type of story, I don't believe that it therefore always ought to be included– if a romance adds nothing to a narrative yet takes its focus, all it's doing is derailing the rest of the story and therefore probably shouldn't be present or should have been toned down. Not everyone likes romance in fiction, and while yes, romance is an ordinary facet of life, that doesn't mean it must be present in any given story, nor are other human relationships not worth the focus often given to romance instead. To me, for example, it is far less interesting that a writer would always choose to focus on a romance between Hades and Persephone, rather than the love and grief Demeter had for her stolen daughter and her efforts to find her, yet retellings and AUs based around this myth will ignore or even demonise the latter figure to cater to the romance angle of the story instead.
Romance is not inherently bad, but it does shape stories in a way that becomes myopic, potentially overshadowing more interesting concepts and following its own pattern of tropes and plot beats– it isn't that romance must exist within a vacuum, but that it tends to
create one for itself. It is fair for people to be disinterested in it as much as it is for people to love it, and it doesn't need to be in everything to somehow create a truer reflection of the human experience, as if that comes in only one flavour.
No. 2361670
>>2361658Well, for one we're talking fanfic here, so money wasn't really the end goal kek, but even then, plenty of fiction still performs well enough despite having little to no romance involved. Sure, you might not sell as well as whatever YA/NA booktok darling is currently topping the charts, but writing to sell often ignores writing as a craft in favour of fiction that is quick and easy to produce– it's its own niche within the market, and not the goal of every writer or even all that present in all genres. Very few authors truly live off of their sales, most instead work another job or are in a position like being a stay-at-home mum that enables them to write and publish works on the side while still being financially secure.
Regardless, the joy of writing imo, be it original fiction or fanfic, is that you have very few limitations beyond your own imagination. Sure, publishing is rough, but it's still doable and your success often has more to do with your ability (or, if you're lucky, a trad publisher's) to market your work than it necessarily is to do with your story checking all the trending boxes.

problematic personality in a show that has a rapist pervert as a main character. Same thing goes for Peggy, but at least its more understandable in KOH since the characters are at least more realistic.

It's not so much that she's promiscuous that ticks me off, but in how she's promiscuous is what angers me. If you're going to make a character who sleeps around at the very least make her selfish to her own desires and pleasure rather than all about how good she is
to moids cause at least then it would make sense and won't make me eye roll and puke when she says the "I'm a slut cuz I love sex" line when everything about sex she's said prior is how good she is at servicing dick. Even in supposed feminist empowerment shows or stories, whenever there's a promiscuous woman she rarely ever speaks about her own pleasure. She's a slut, but not for herself, for men. So, what's empowering about that? Unironically, I want to see a slut character who's a slut in the way moids are sluts as that will be the only way I could even begin to enjoy such a character trait but that will never happen because moids would lose their fucking shit if she said something like.

>What your solution to this?When it comes to shows like fucking Bluey or MLP, the actual target audience (like toddlers and elementary school kids) shouldn't be online at all outside of kids game sites.

Not up to me to monitor a random kid who shouldn't be online in the first place.
All social media sites are 18+ and there should be a cultural shift to how unmonitored internet use in children is viewed. Same way there was a cultural shift in smoking. No phones in school. Kids should have social childhoods without the internet. Fuck social media in general. Fandom discussion should return to forums ideally but that won't happen. Everywhere on the internet should be 18+ even SFW spaces. Nobody should pander to minors or have minor mutuals; they should all be blocked on site. Just like with old forums, the expectation is that you agree to be 18+ and then act like in an adult with kids being banned/blocked on site.

Even after booting him in 2017, they treat WW like trash and just throws her at any male writer they have, instead of people (women especially) who want to work on them. And each of these men feel the need to 'reinvent' her, when there are perfectly good foundations for her mythos and setting created by Rucka or Perez, the footprint is there. They've also been forced to include her in a DC comics every 90 issues or so, or they lost the rights and it reverts back to the estate of her creator, so they have to treat her as relevant.

The idea of alt girls being more "novel" and unconventional compared to "regular girls" probably plays a factor too.

If you know anything about nerds, weebs, edgelords and outcasts/former outcasts it's that they absolutely DESPISE normalfag women. It's blatant misogyny, they believe normie women have zero personality, that they are boring, basic, or that they are all dumb bimbos with no flavour and stupid girly interests. Meanwhile alt women seem so interesting and soooo different and cool and mysterious and artistic (even though a lot of them are rebellious posers and have straight up unpleasing pesonalities, just in a different fashion kek). But the thing is, alt women are more likely to have pick me tendencies and go along with their antics and do dumb shit with them.

Picrel is the gyaru I was talking about that the moids seethed. She was a dumb girl who got taken advantage of, she even tearfully tells self-insert-kun that she wished he was her first time.
But go into Manga Updates or MyAnimeList and you'll see forum goers treating her like NTRed protag-kun deliberately.
Another character I think of is Sakura from Fate/Stay Night, canonically she was raped by worms as child because magic magic whatever and then frequently molested by her adopted onii-chan.
Even though she's a
victim and the story frames her as such, you'll still see some memes now and then of her being "impure" for Shirou or whatever.

On top of that earlier in the thread you guys were pretending that moids didn't like panty even though every guy on /a/ is like "It was the anime I got my first boner to" and praises the fuck out of both of them for being jack off material.

>>2365487Goth and alt girls are the Stacies of the nerd world because they are fellow outcasts and are therefore more attainable.

It's why moids thirst after Velma more than Daphne.
Another reason is that alt women and girls are perceived to have looser sexual boundaries. A lot of alt fashion is based on BDSM gear or just is BDSM gear. These men have dominatrix fetishes but dressing it up as "muh goff girls" helps them sound less like a coomer.

No. 2368079
>>2368072Sure, though I think I summarized in my post. The cultural context matters though, in Japan women are expected to be virginal, very modest in appearance and quiet in behavior which is true even to this day, so to rebel against that gyarus were loud, obnoxious, used alcohol, smoked, swore like sailors and had no regard for social conduct, had over the top makeup styles (huge false eyelashes, bleached hair, circle lenses, tanned skin, long fake nails etc) and were openly sexually active (and a lot of them did sex work and hostess jobs because they often came from broken homes/poverty). IIRC a lot of it, particularly notoriously ganguro, was originally inspired by styles from the 90's Hawaii which is an US state but also a popular travel destination for the Japanese so there's where a lot of it comes from. But gyaru was mostly gentrified in the early 2010's and watered down into just "girl has fake nails and a cute skirt" kind of wussy bullshit and in anime it's usually just "girl has a tan and big tits rubbing them into the protagonist's face" slut stereotype.

I'm not sure where else to put this but it feels best suited for the fandom discourse thread. So when I was 16, I used to lie about my age and befriend 25+ year old fanfiction writers to talk about nsfw scenarios of my favourite ships. We would discuss genuinely hardcore stuff, and not once did it occur to me that it might be unfair to deceive an adult into talking about porn with a child unknowingly. Jump to today, where I just found out that a fellow fan I've been having nsfw chats with is 16, while I am now 20 years old. They knew this, and only just decided to tell me despite posting porn on their side account and having 18+ in bio. I feel so gross, like the typical Discord pedophile who gets callouts on Twitter for having 'weird' chats with teenagers online. Of course I'm going to cut off this person now but it kind of leaves a bigger question in the air:
While I don't think of myself as a 'victim', don't you all think it's a bit too normalised for minors to do this on the internet? I feel really, really gross thinking about the discussions I had with that kid while not knowing their real age. Hell, I even did it myself at 16 because there weren't any adults explicitly scolding you for it, since they also did the same thing and so on and so forth. Have any of you nonas ever found yourself in a similar scenerio? What did you do about it? What are your thoughts?

No. 2368398
>>2368354The same happened to me, when I was 22 I was discussing NSFW fanfiction with a 16-year old. Both of us being women. I didn't think any of it back then, and nobody around me thought it was weird. Only when this topic started coming up in the mainstream a few years ago I freaked out and felt gross about the entire thing, and every day I'm paranoid about being called out for being a "groomer" because I gushed over the same fictional ship with a minor.
But that said, I did the same when I was 16. I hid my age to discuss NSFW stuff with adults and even now I still don't find anything unsettling about it, those adults were all women and didn't get weird outside of a fictional context ever. But all the moids who sent me disgusting, sexual comments and tried to prod me for actual IRL nudes still fucking haunt me. I hate that the distinction between these two has been erased and both are considered "predators". Is adult women discussing NSFW fiction with minors weird? Yeah, you shouldn't do that. But online the lines do get blurred because you simply see their text output and don't really comprehend that who you're speaking to is actually a child if they're blending in to the discussion about media. It's not comparable to sliding into underage DMs to put their backs against the wall without nobody there to see.

What pains me is that the Ru gvt started to block the websites with Russian fanfics (that is, those with LGBT themes), forcing them to delete the works that offend the regime. A lot of good fanfics were lost. Some were saved in AO3 but not all of them.
And they also tried banning/hiding the pirated manga websites. Piracy isn’t good but it’s not like obtaining a license to publish, say, LGBT content from Japan or Korea is possible in current political climate.

>>2368354About a decade ago, personally, I was very open about being 13-14 years old kek. Me and my 2 other same-aged online friends would openly joke about being the only kids/teenagers in the fandom (it was for a nickelodeon property, all ages).
I still had adult friends, ranging from 19 to 27. They would send NSFW dialogue (stuff about sex and some character's dick) to my inbox as a joke and one initiated hardcore nsfw RP with me over skype. I played along because I thought it was a joke lmao.
Another friend, 11 years older than me, I accidentally came across her fandom porn account while looking for fanart, which I ignored and she was very apologetic about. She became more openly "pro-shipper" "fiction=/reality" and her art degraded heavily looking like bad furry art, which I ignored until she, at 30, shared posts about how pedophiles don't deserve prison, but rehabilitation. Looking her up, she only makes porn now, makes rape/incest comics, and is into pedophilia and paraphilias. Some other adult friends, I also broke off because of them sympathizing with real-life pedos.
The same-aged friends I had don't go online as much anymore, but they grew up to be normies with social lives which is much preferable, thank god. I used to roleplay with them but we never talked about nsfw, just funny scenarios with our characters.That experience may be part of why I avoid discussing nsfw in general, though unfortunately that's not a solution for avoiding minors in nsfw spaces. When you're a teen, having friends the same age as you is the best experience and I wish more minors online would realize that. Personally I wasn't particularly interested in nsfw till my 20s kek so I can't understand teens who want to discuss it, but there should be a way for them to easily seek each other out instead of joining adult spaces.

>many fashion tribes that became associated with gyaru weren't gyaru at all, but they all got stuck under the same umbrella. Can I ask which ones?
No. 2368616
>>2368554kind of yes and no? gyaru is kind of a misused term in my opinion. mostly others would call you gyaru instead of you calling yourself gyaru and the term meant something different in mainstream speech before it was applied to ganguro. and it started just being used as a blanket term for any trendy girls in the 90s and on. i feel like in 2005+ any girls that were fashionable were "gyaru".
if you think about ganguro, it was started by trendy high school girls following some of the shibuya trends influenced by the west, USA and italy specifically. it eventually became more crazy styles like yamanba and manba, but these were more about freaking people out than trying to go against norms intentionally. everyone doing it at the beginning was in high school so they were rebelling at school and it was just fun and attention grabbing and didn't have much consequences. it started out small as ganguro, but then got more and more crazy when girls tried to get away with more and more. i think yamanba and manba were very much more true gyaru than anything else considered gyaru because they were pushing the limit to piss people off for fun. this type of gyaru was kind of like the hot girl cousin to yankii and it became an underground beauty norm slowly. in the 90s the internet changed how much influence the western could have directly on styles and music and etc so gyaru really became mainstream then with celebrity styles being called gyaru and the definition shifting to any fashion conscious consumers. it wasn't really fighting the norm anymore once it started being a consumer buzzword.
>>2368558basically anything that isn't yamanba, manba or ganguro (also what's called sometimes kogyaru) i think a main one is hime gyaru which describes atleast 3 different fashion tribes like nagoyajyo, diamante girls, and mainstream fashions like himekaji all lumped together. none of those tribes would really associate themselves with yamanba or manba or ganguro and are related to what is known as the "hime boom" which isn't gyaru related at all. same with a lot of "styles" which really aren't gyaru related but the word gyaru was used to market it as trendy and western. another thing is that himekaji was started in the idol community and exists now with the name girly kei and amekaji was just a shibuya style starting in the 70s. gyaru doesn't really have substyles and ganguro, manba and yamanba are just different ways girls chose to style themselves based on fads at the time.

Plenty of BL aren't realistic or are simplified because starving all day long or shitting on a dick isn't hot or glamorous, but gay nerds are either okay with this for the same reasons or are just lightly making fun of BL manga without being offended by them, but tifs and handmaidens are too autistic to notice when it's in good jest.

But if you’re browsing on ao3 (or god forbid some shit like wattpad), you should already know this.
It’s like going into a nonfiction bookshop dedicated to travel guides and books about WW2 and being like ‘what the fuck, WHERE is my friends to lovers only one bed porn book?????’ Bitch, the old men they opened this bookshop for don’t want to read that shit, just like the horny touch-starved teenagers/middle aged women on ao3 don’t want to read about Midoriya and Bakugo being besties holding hands and making friendship bracelets.

>>2369163I don't know if you'd call this self inserting but some women have trouble connecting sexually to a scenario where female sexual organs aren't being stimulated because it's hard to "feel" anatomy you don't have. Two men fucking in the ass does nothing to you if you don't have a dick nor want to be fucked in the ass, maybe you can find their reactions hot but there's no way to relate deeper than that. In other words they'd probably enjoy more normal het stuff but think "cishet" = bad, desensitized to the weirdness of TIFism, and happen to like a yaoi ship for other nonsexual reasons first (looks, chemistry, etc.) so they try to build a sexual scenario they find arousing. It's like why moids draw yuri hentai sometimes but most of it, and the most popular, have female characters taking dick whether from a moid or "futa".

>>2369989Nta but this is the best explanation I've seen. I'm lesbian and find CB disgusting and have not known any other lesbians into CB so the 'secretly homo!1!!' allegations never made sense to me, I've only seen (unfortunately) rape
victim TIFs who draw CB as their "one step removed" maledom rape and abuse fetishes. They basically eroticise their abuse and make the CB character the focal point because it's basically self harm.
It's nuanced in some ways because not all artists who draw CB are tifs and not all tifs are abuse
victims, but the ones who make the most disgusting CB art I've seen have been tifs who are being abused or have been abused because that's literally all they draw. They turn the hatred inward. Being a tif is self harm in itself anyway because it's societal-approved mutilation. It all connects. Also it's not like you can bully them to stop drawing it because that would just feed into the self-hate like cutting off a hydra's head.
Tifs really do come across as seeing themselves as disgusting for being female and then draw this porn-fetish self insert being abused by a moid. I assume the chinese CB artists are like this too but without the societal-approved titchops.

>>2371413Every time I wonder how these retards manage to waddle out of weenie hut jrs to The Rape Game and are upset it's The Rape Game. you did this to yourself. This is so retarded it's a rape sim all the characters are rapists you are not only retarded but also not the target audience. What are you doing here and how did you get here?
>>2371476>man I sure wish this rape sim I know is a rape sim had less rape so I could enjoy it!>I AM BEGGING>t. not the target audienceThe absolute state. I feel like a monkey with a typewriter repeating that word over and over again but apparently some people can't seem to get it

>>2371671 He made a copout version what the fuck? No no no, with a game like DoL there's no way. Why would he want to attract the worst of the worst audience i.e. all the autistic zoomers who want to play an edgy,
problematic game but with all the problemacy and edginess removed? I swear they're their own genre of fans by this point.

No. 2371994
>>2371948You're forgetting a tiny detail. It's the fact that the basis of the game is that you get raped left and right and that everyone calls you a slut every 5 seconds.
Like I honestly enjoy the retarded Game because of the money autism and retarded outfits but the point of the game is to get raped as many times as possible so you can do -Shockingly- degenerate shit.

Nonnas who've been in multiple fandoms: which fandoms do you think have the most "I saw Goody Proctor with the devil" energy? As in constantly investigating whether other fans are committing wrongthink, performative moralizing etc. For me ASOIAF/Game of Thrones was one of the worst for this, perhaps surprisingly.
No. 2372176
>>2372159Can't say any of the fandoms I've actively been a part of have had that kind of atmosphere, but many of the ones I've lurked (usually because of this shit) or seen in passing due to sheer popularity seem to have this going on. Strangest to me are the ones who do that for rpgs/games with choices or morality systems, skitzing out whenever they see people making the 'wrong' or 'nasty' choices in their playthroughs, and extrapolating wild things about them as a person from that.
I'm both surprised that the ASOIAF/GOT fandom would be your pick, but also kinda not kek– is it a long-term problem or do you think it's more recent/to do with a shift in audience thanks to the tv adaptations bringing in a different crowd? Or is it just people trying to make up for liking a story with less-palatable/grimdark elements?

Why the fuck does Bluey have a fandom? i am so confused, even as an ex pegasister. At least MLP was the western equivalent of some shitty shonenshit and had some lore and power level autism. Bluey is just a kid's show about toddlers, voiced by toddlers, for toddlers. Wtf.

Has anyone had to block a good fic writer because they were annoying? I felt kinda bad because she had pretty good taste but this bitch was pro tranny and typed out the longest rant very reminiscent of that sjw style back on the T site.

>>2373186I mean martha washington is a better-written female character than even by libfems authors, the fact that she's badass, not sexualized, and finds love with an attractive competent man, rather than some neurotic nerd is actually revolutionary to me.
