What an amazing time to be alive

Honestly I would rather have a knife held to me than someone tell me they ship OroKabu or KakaSaku (or any uchiha other than sasuke) or TsuShizu or literally any other Adult who has additional Power or Authority over a literal Child

#“yeah but theyre not kids anymore!”#they were when they met #they were also their henchmen/student which is a powe imballance #also how do you go “hm this 30-50+ y/o would look GREAT with this pre teen/teen”#grabted shizune isnt a teen but tsunade is like 25 years older AND RAISED HER #anti proship #kabuto #orochimaru #tsunade #shizune #sakura #naruto

The amount of people I have seen who go "I hate orochimaru dni if you like orochimaru he kills kids" reminds me of this post

Also half of them ship Kakashi and Sakura which can only be described as grooming so like idk what morals they stand for

#orochimaru #naruto #boruto #unpopular opinion #“you cant like fictional villains because you like how theyre written”#“but i will actively ship a middle school teacher and his student”#like theyre pro ship but fuck you if you like how villains are written

stating to think there’s an inverse correlation between how good media is and how easily fandomizable it is 😁

good media should make you stare at wall for 2 hours instead of immediately starting shippings wars and coffeeshop au and slowburn fics

no no you’re not wrong but also

there’s a reason for this.

My personal theory is that if Media is REALLY good, there isn't really... space, if you will for fans to add or change perspectives on it. Too dense, too complete. Like how coral won't grow on plastic because it's too smooth

Whereas some half-baked hot garbage has got ALL KINDS of plot holes, incomplete characterization, warped timelines, missing worldbuilding and other Spaces for fans to colonize, like coral growing on a sunken battleship.

And then if a series just sucks too much, it's not fun to interact with at all, and people won't fandomize it because it's toxic. Like how coral won't grow on sunken piles of burnt-out tires.

I call this the Fandom Barrier-Reef Theory.

I disagree a little bit because shows/movies can be REALLY good and fun to watch, but there's a lot left unknown for the fun of it. I think spirited away is a wonderful example of this. One of the best grossing films literally everywhere with reviews thru the roof, it was cross culturally accepted as one of The Best films and so much fun to watch, but there is a lot still unknown about the nature of the universe because the suspension of belief, and that's where Fandoms can come in and build theories and create ocs around the unknown aspects

The people who hate this are probably the ones traumatizing their children

Fun fact, sesame street was created to fill the gap in education for children whose families could not afford to send them to preschool. Sesame street taught basic math and phonics as well as interpersonal skills so that children below the poverty line weren’t starting elementary school behind their more privileged classmates.

Here sesame street is trying to fill a gap where supportive adults should be. Where there should be a teacher or a family member or a counselor to help, for whatever reason, there isn’t, so Sesame Street is stepping in.

This breed of person has always hated Sesame Street. They hated it for showing black and white children playing together. They hated it for giving children of color the head start that rich white families were paying for. They hated it for Bert and Ernie for showing two MEN who LIVED TOGETHER, for the married black nurse who lived on sesame street when it was first released, and for them explaining death. I feel like there was a pregnancy at some point in its early days and they would have REALLY hated that.

These days they don’t (usually) say “I’m not letting my kid watch anything with black kids in it” but they sure throw a tantrum in the youtube comments when Sesame Street DARES to show an autistic girl playing with non-autistic children and being treated like shes anyone else. They lose their shit when Sesame Street has to explain incarceration to 5 year olds. And the muppet in south africa with HIV? Hoo boy.

They hate everything Sesame Street stands for and tries to provide. They always have. We just have to ignore them and keep supporting the show. Or tell them to shut the fuck up and keep supporting the show. Either way Sesame Street will outlive them.

Pregnancy was not only shown, by the way, there is also a well-known scene with a woman nursing her baby and Big Bird is asking about it. (And he doesn’t take offense to it, either. He just thinks it’s a weird way to feed a baby, because birds don’t feed their babies that way.)
