Me @ fandom puritans:

[anauwhere]

When ugly ass godawful movies (that you want to watch bc you're obsessed with that one actor that has a 0.3 seconds screen time in them) are nowhere to be found. Like you're so bad you should be free somewhere but you're so bad it's damnatio memoriae instead, "movie".

[anauwhere]

Don't write icky cringe problematic things In the tags or I block you ended up in a site with no reblogs and boring ass tags where no one talk anymore

[anauwhere]

Sometimes on this site you read anti puritans takes that basically allows abuse and condone terrible fucking shit just because you wanna call a person a nun so bad.

Like telling people that is normal that your parents watch porn in front of you or have loud sex without locking doors.

Ignoring boundaries is the first red flag of abuse and besides feeling "uncomfortable" is a word you can use if someone reads a fucked up book and can put it down. Not if you're 7 and can't leave the house where your mom is fucking daddy on the couch smh.

I miss when In fandom you could openly be thirsty and even raunchy.

I miss when you could just see sex and romance and wanting two characters to kiss without being called misogynistic or a nympho or fetishist of gays.

It's been almost 20 years since gen z purity culture ruined it all and I thought we'd snap back at a certain point but no.

Bc they came at 6 yo and they're only 26 now still young to leave even tho we were old at 26 and we had to die.

Unfortunately many of us older fans really virtually died and it's a loss.

People on fandom spaces that put their mid 30s and up age in their bios you're so brave.

[anauwhere]

Thinking about how ateez always follow through with their concepts both visually and musically which is surprisingly rare in kpop

[olderthannetfic]

kudos / hits truly don't mean shit in terms of quality and characterisation and it breaks my heart that there are authors who think it matters in any reliable way. the best fic in my fandom is <200 kudos and it ruined every other fic for me. all while the popular fics from the loud and often recced authors consistently let me down. i wish authors stopped being so hung up on numbers and readers too for that matter.

Today i read this conversation all coming from one (1) person:

- fiction is not reality (tv shows)

- stop reading fanfic it hurts people

- people are so puritanical these days. A pop star can be sexy and sing about seggs

- stop writing gay rpf fanfic ot fetishises the gays and it's gross

- gen z is a bunch of nuns

- im 35 and fanfic didn't exist in my days it's the hypersexual new kids that invented it. I was there

Minors being puritans and pro burka and anti sex for others meanwhile they walk around like this at 14 for no reason whatsoever at Wednesday at 5 pm

Hot take maybe but I find “dead dove do not eat” stupid and unintuitive as a piece of fandom parlance, and I hate that people insist on sitting there and explaining how all these noobs are always using it wrong instead of just, like, adopting a better name for the concept.

Barely anyone that’s new to fandom is going to recognize it’s an Arrested Development reference, the show ended 7 years ago. Of course people are going to think the cutesy saying everyone insists on using is some navel-gazing poetic sounding way to tell you this content is dark/fucked up/evil/etc. no matter what, especially if they’re ESL from a country where that show just isn’t relevant. Why we don’t just use clear and unambiguous terminology instead of these twee little fandom catchphrases that are inevitably going to suffer context collapse when the thing they’re referencing becomes more obscure is beyond me. I don’t know why anyone was ever shocked that fandom neophytes just started referring to stuff as “dead dove content” or what have you when it sounds like Tumblr poetry. Giving it that name was enough to effectively coin it as a trope when all it ought to be is a content label.

“Contents are exactly as tagged” or something to that effect is perfectly adequate and doesn’t run the risk of causing needless confusion. If you constantly need to be explaining that a functional term is completely different from what it sounds like, then IMO it’s poorly named.

(My other hot take is that I feel this way about “proship” as a term, as well. Too easily misconstrued, but people insist on endlessly explaining instead of just leaving the confusing name behind. 😒 At least the people who just go with “anti-censorship” more broadly are doing it right.)

'Proship' arose and only makes sense in a context where people are opposing antis.

[anauwhere]

I have ai art blocked but ofc people don't tag and the thing is ai was bullied for creating bad hands and now it does close ups of hands to be like yo look at me. Idc bitch you're still slop

[anauwhere]

Rewatching old shows as an adult like: oh my god who wrote this ,a child?

[anauwhere]

Randomly remembered when kpop crazy ass puritan stans made blackpink change a video bc it "sexualised" nurses lmao. They instead changed it into putting a girl in a mental facility clothes for psych hold because fuck ableism at least i won't think about nurses and get some horny kink.

I swear the new puritans are such weirdos and I bet that even religion fundamentalists would be like nah piss off just like it happened with the og ones.

[anauwhere]

So there's a study(albeit made on few people and missing some parts that I won't consider a scientific proof) that says that covid aged teens brains as in it developed them. No one is using it tho bc how can they say the stupid underdeveloped until 25 myth as an excuse then

[anauwhere]

My friend told me to block you bc yoi said something negative i never checked (god forbid i have a slightly bad opinion about some fannish cult) so I did and so did all my frenz and u cant rb any gif also we told the fandom u have cooties byeee

You're literally 30 yo

[anauwhere]

Really sorry for people that come to fandoms in 2026 yall would've loved 2013. Sadly whatever desert you see now it's all u can get
