Damn These Fandom Issues

A Confession/Vent Blog for Goings Ons in Fandoms; currently run by Mod Bee and Mod Bot Rules for mobile

[damnthesefandomissues]

vent: 18+ fandoms are for adults only. If you are a minor and journey into an 18+ space and you are told to get out, that is not ageist of the adults to tell you “NO.” I am an adult. It is not my responsibility to babysit a child in a space meant for someone like me. I will not coddle you when your feelings get hurt; I will not care about your temper tantrums. Don’t get mad at me when I don’t act like your parents and ignore your behaviors and don’t call you out on your bullshit. If you’re old enough to act like that, you’re old enough to take responsibility for your behaviors. LEAVE US ALONE.

[damnthesefandomissues]

Vent post: why is being upset about not getting feedback/no one wants to interact/comment or even like something you made is being considered entitlement? And it doesn’t help that the content I make are mostly from obscure fandoms with very very rare pairings.

people need to realize that widely accepted headcanons are still just headcanons. They do not magically become canon because 95% of the fandom agree with you. 

[virgincore-deactivated20201223]

At that point they become apocrypha

[kneegrow-chan]

The notes are utter cancer.

[damnthesefandomissues]

agreed and I’m the OP of the fricking post.

[mxtxconfessions]

Piece of advice for haters on this blog: how about instead of spending all your time hating on a character or mxtx novels you instead focus on characters you love or stuff you actually love. Because news flash you aren’t gonna convert anyone to your little anti group. People are gonna love whoever they wanna love and you need to learn to move on. It’s a lot more healthier.

[nymphomanik]

why is it just so impossible for u ppl to even consider that some ppl may find hate fun

[damnthesefandomissues]

Because sometimes? It’s gets annoying. If you find hate fun, just know some people will find you obnoxious. 

[nymphomanik]

awwhh boring bitches dislike me how will i ever recover 😦😔

[damnthesefandomissues]

yeah.. okay. I mean. My point still stands. You’re fucking annoying. But I bet you’re used to being called that. 

[damnthesefandomissues]

Hate is “fun” when you hit your friends up to all bitch together about something you all can’t stand. Putting up your hate on tumblr is only fun if your idea of fun is trying to piss off a stranger on the internet who was just trying to have a good time. Some people just live to be edgy

[damnthesefandomissues]

Another damn issue in fandom: people like hisohiso who don’t know when to fucking stop.

[nymphomanik]

Ummmmm wowww you guys are sooo sassy nd mean i totally am so affected by this??????😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[damnthesefandomissues]

Hey mod bot, can you block this dude since you’re admin?

[damnthesefandomissues]

They’re blocked

[damnthesefandomissues]

when you realize that there’s always someone is any fandom that start’s shit on people’s blogs, disregards their rules and acts like a fool and the best way to deal with them is blocking out the noise, probably like what their parents do to them.

Anyway.. “I’m exercising my right to vent.” Ookay? Do it on your own blog, then. You could’ve just.. sent it to us an ask, but you decided to use an existing post of ours to discourse with me {Mod Bee} when in our rules, it’s #1, to not use our posts for discourse. You can link them, of course and say “I’m referring to this post” or whatever, but our posts are not for discourse. 

Let me be clear: We reserve the right to block people when they don’t follow our rules and HAVE BEEN WARNED. If this is something you are mad about, that’s not my problem and that’s not Mod Bot’s problem. I don’t know what Mod Bot will want to say, but I, Mod Bee, will block people who don’t follow the rules. 

I’ll post the rules so people can read them since we don’t have mobile links.

[damnthesefandomissues]

So while I [Mod Bot] am not against people adding commentary to our posts, I also don’t want people to start discourse on them. As in, I’m not here to start debating people over my posts. Many of my posts are simply vent posts about things that annoy me, and I assume that’s the same for Mod Bee and anyone who sends in submissions. They’re there to vent, not because we feel like starting a debate.

I admittedly didn’t go through the notes for this blog all that often up to now, but given people seem to not get memo that we’re not here to discourse with others I’ll pay more attention.

[damnthesefandomissues]

I also added a link to the rules in our description, to make it easier to access them on mobile.

It is really aggravating how the fandom I’m in is slowly splitting into more and more factions because of minor disagreements. It started with two groups, with each group demonizing the other. (And the few people in the middle who were either completely clueless about the situation or had no desire to involve themselves in it. I wish I had stayed in thay middle.)

Now one of the main groups (the one I’m in) has started another argument based on some shota bs or whatever, and I have absolutely no idea which side to take. Accusations are flying, people are making bold statements about who they stand with, and I was following people on both sides.

One of my favorite artists is at the center of the accusations and I don’t know what to do. Everyone is so assured in their ideas and no one is impartial enough to give me nonbiased information.

I’m really freaking out and I don’t know how to deal with all this. We’re all brought together by a love for the same thing so why can’t we all just get along and accept that different people like different things???

[damnthesefandomissues]

The Rules

This page is for venting only. Do not add discourse to the posts. You can link them, of course, but that’s all.

This is not for callouts. This is for venting.

Ship hate/bashing is not allowed. If you want to be vague about a ship, then that is okay. Ship bashing leads to discourse and if you don’t understand why this is not allowed, refer to Rule #1.

You can send asks or submit posts. Not proficient at anything but saying “post” so don’t expect those colorful posts, unfortunately.

Just be respectful and do not be the basic bigot. Racism, transphobia, LGBTQphobia, bullying, name-calling, etc will not be tolerated and your submission/ask will be deleted with extreme prejudice

people need to realize that widely accepted headcanons are still just headcanons. They do not magically become canon because 95% of the fandom agree with you. 

[leonhaxor]

They do not magically become part of the “official” canon. A key distinction here.

[damnthesefandomissues]

I mean.. I said what I said and I don’t think I added that word there. Headcanons are not canon because 95% of the fandom agree with you. Oh yeah. There you go. BOOM. Mind blown. 

[leonhaxor]

No, you did not add the word “official” there. I applaud your ability to recognize what words you used. You’ve demonstrated that you can read. Your mental capabilities have thoroughly fellated my mind, and sufficiently sucked out any synaptic secretions. But enough about how intelligent you’re proving yourself to be - I think we’re working from different understandings of what ‘canon’ means. So before we move forwards, I’d like to try and understand what exactly you define as ‘canon.’

From my understanding of that post, your definition of ‘canon’ is separate from the fandom’s contributions to it. Whatever is in the text, what the “official” authors put into it, is all that ‘canon’ is. Interpretations that are not explicitly ‘confirmed’ by text - headcanons - do not fit into your definition of ‘canon.’ No matter how much they might be accepted by the people engaging with the work, they are not ‘canon.’

How close am I?

[damnthesefandomissues]

Let me make this clear since you’re choosing to be ignorant: #1 I said what I said in the initial post. Go back and read it again and again and again until you’ve gotten it down pat, ok? And #2, this isn’t a discourse blog and I’m not discussing this any further with you. This is for venting. 

So… Either get with the program or get out.

[leonhaxor]

Let me make this clear since you’re choosing to be ignorant: #1 I said what I said in the initial post. Go back and read it again and again and again until you’ve gotten it down pat, ok? 

I’ve read it multiple times. I have a good idea of what you’re trying to say. However, it is a position I disagree with. I am not saying you are entitled to agree with my own position. But I will point out that you started the cycle of ignorance by attempting to dunk on me. You simply repeated what you said and capping it off with “Oh yeah. There you go. BOOM. Mind blown.”

As if you proved some great point.

Which… no, you didn’t.

And #2, this isn’t a discourse blog and I’m not discussing this any further with you. This is for venting. 

So… Either get with the program or get out.

So if you’re not going to discuss it with me, I’m more than happy to do some venting of my own about the intricacies of what canon actually is.

The maxim that “there is nothing outside the text” is patently false. Let’s just put that on the table where we both - sorry, where I - can clearly see it. 

Now, rather than type out what has already been typed out, I’m going to be quoting liberally from a conversation I had with a friend [who has elected not be tagged] on the topic of “canon.” [He is the one speaking in the grey bubbles.]

“Canon” is concerned with future installments, and continuity between them. 

So to the point that “people still have their own internal canons,” I recognize your right to your canon, one that simply exists as what you are given. I recognize your right to vent your opinions on canon to the Internet. And I hope that your experience with canon is at the very least enjoyable for you.

I strongly disagree with the implication that you have the authority to police how people engage with your content, though I will concede that it is on brand with your views on what constitutes canon.

[damnthesefandomissues]

Are you done? You could’ve done this on your own post. Clearly, you didn’t read the rules. So, I, Mod Bee, am blocking you and your dumbass opinions I don’t give a flying fuck about.. Have a blessed day kumquat.. 

[damnthesefandomissues]

a fandom issue that needs to be addressed: calling someone a bigot for disagreeing with your headcanons.

[damnthesefandomissues]

Clearly, some people cannot read. “Confessions/vent blog” does not equate “discourse.” Y’all need to fucking cut the shit. If we wanted to make a discourse blog, we would make one.

[mxtxconfessions]

Piece of advice for haters on this blog: how about instead of spending all your time hating on a character or mxtx novels you instead focus on characters you love or stuff you actually love. Because news flash you aren’t gonna convert anyone to your little anti group. People are gonna love whoever they wanna love and you need to learn to move on. It’s a lot more healthier.

yeah.. okay. I mean. My point still stands. You’re fucking annoying. But I bet you’re used to being called that.
