Before you follow, know I am ship and let ship, anti-censorship and multiship. I also occaisionally engage in fandom discourse.

@yenipunzl It's the growing mentality in fandom of " If /I/ don't like it/it's not interesting to me it either sucks or is a problem" which ignores the fact that everyone has different tastes and preferences. Today, shitting on other peoples yums has become an olympic sport.

btw please write that established relationship fic with no plot other than domestic fluff. i promise i will care. ppl saying those fics have “no sauce” irritate me so much because the beauty of established relationships is the amount of COMFORT they bring.

@taya_time @_sorrengailll But if they lean on AI they'll never learn to do it themselves and remain borderline illiterate.

@_sorrengailll You realize that up to 20% of the American population is functionally illiterate and struggles with daily reading tasks, right? And then there's the other 60 million Americans who read and write like 11-year-olds. Some of these people really do need help with being articulate.

"There's no way you can write a ten page paper without chatGPT" WE COULD LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY WITHOUT CHATGPT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

@MAD_LOLXC @iJ0SUK3SBF @Angel_Dust_7 Engaging in consuming dark fiction only has whatever effect on your real life that you let it. It won't change how disgusting you find acts irl and it can't turn you into a predator unless you were already predisposed.

@MAD_LOLXC @iJ0SUK3SBF @Angel_Dust_7 Which were ship and let ship( later called proship) so you'll find most people 30 and over follow that stance in fandom whether they use the label or not. Some use the label because they were attacked for not doing so. Unless you're too young or have some specific psychosis

I FOUND WORSE HOLY SHIT

@denfox_ @TheFinalMasterM A tourist is someone who engages with a fandom but doesn't learn the culture and tries to impost their own views on an entire subculture of fandom

@TheFinalMasterM The term "tourist" is so stupid, you don't see anybody who watches one or two cartoons a cartoon tourist, don't you? People say that to feel superior than people who haven't watched as many.

Things tourist are just going to have to get over. - Lolis - Shotas - Sexual fanservice - High school setting - Ships - R34

@littleshanebug Every fic is a different AU unless it's clearly states it's related to a previous fic and it's all HC anyway. Just because someones hcs don't match up doesn't mean it should be attacked.

@littleshanebug My problem is when people designate a character as a bottom just because of how they look and get in your face claiming there's no way they could be a top because they're small or pretty, or call you a traitor because you write one fic where their bot and one where they're top.

also having strict t/b dynamics is not misogynistic i can’t believe that’s a talking point. if you see a strict bottom as degrading so you have to make them switches to feel “woke” that is absolutely a you problem. it’s just a fucking sex position. just write what turns you on

@ayenautism @bestialynn This! Nine times out of ten I wrote something because it's a concept I want to read and as long as its not a direct copy paste of my fic the other person is going to write it differently anyway. Give me that shit.

writers: oh no i can’t write this fic, somebody already wrote the same idea ☹️ readers when there are multiple fics with similar concepts:

@edwardistwelve @KimbleeFucker Rise of conservative culture worldwide. The worst part is statistically speaking you're barely going to get actual pedophiles or offenders while targeting cartoons/anime. Because the cartoons don't fullfill their paraphilia. So by targeting cartoons they're wadting resources.

@KimbleeFucker it's so fucked how many governments consider fictional content to be CSEM, it's sickening

CSEM stands for Child Sexual Exploitation Material, which refers to videos or imagery of sexual abuse and exploitation of real children. If no one is abused or exploited, it is not CSEM. Cartoons cannot be abused or exploited. The presence of a real victim is obligatory.

@webbheadjunior @gelato_enjoyer According to my therapist, the inability to seperate fictional subjects and situations from real ones is a sign of several different psychiatric issues and of you have issues with that seeking a therapist is a very good idea.

@webbheadjunior @gelato_enjoyer And still be disgusted with sexual assault in real life, the same as any fictional dark themes. We learned in school the entire reason things like loli/sho has been proven not to assist with real pedophilic disorders is because it's not the actual object of their paraphilia.

I don't understand how people join fandoms that have existed for 20+ years and then be shocked that not all fans are in middle school

@webbheadjunior @gelato_enjoyer You do realize 60% of fic writers on ao3 are over 30 and most of those have careers/families/jobs/kids right? It's fiction and drawings of characters that don't exist.

@gelato_enjoyer That wasn't the point of the tweet. You shouldn't be shipping adults with minors especially when you're pushing 30. Get in the workforce or sumthing

@LaffeyKilledx @mothgels @MagicalGirlOTD This. I will ship Amu/Ikuto to my dying day because they're pixels and it's a story so it doesn't really matter whereas IRL if a 17 year old tried to date a 13 year old I would curbstomp the motherfucker.

@mothgels @MagicalGirlOTD Why would you let a cartoon affect your mental state like that, the cartoon characters can get together it's not that serious.

Never got why people watch magical girl series (or animation in general) with young girls and go, "They have a crush on this older character!! 😡😡" when the point is it's not reciprocated. This is a normal thing kids go through and it loses me on people being shocked by it.

@tatttletale_tw @CLOUDWYYY @orangelollipop4 "Protecting the kids" from everything BUT actual predators as usual.

@CLOUDWYYY @SongsofThunder @orangelollipop4 so the people who rally behind "protecting the kids" are homophobic yet again?

If you're pro censoring the fiction you personally find reprehensible, and believe that someone isn't going to come along and censor the things YOU like because THEY find them reprehensible, then you're in for a big surprise when your stuff is gone and you were complicit in it.

@CLOUDWYYY @orangelollipop4 Media.

@CLOUDWYYY @orangelollipop4 I said what about when gay media is the illegal shit. Are you still going to support censorship and tell people to stick to what's legal? Because the same laws that would censor things like Game of Thrones for having incest or age gap will also be used to censor lgbtq+
