Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

[its-the-blob]

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.

[moon-meerkat]

never related to authors being like "childhood is such a blessed innocent time", catch me with that jane eyre shit like "such dread as children only can feel" and "I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room"

CHILDHOOD IS MARKED BY FEAR WITHOUT THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN IT

[babtest]

went to an elementaryschool musical production and they started the show with the director saying: "Now there's some very small viewers here today, so just so you know. There will be a scary character later in the show. This is her," and a girl in a kinda scary ghost outfit did a creepy walk across the stage, the stood up straight and did a cheery wave, "but remember, it's just Nina. She's pretending to be scary."

Aaaand i would very much like for horror movies to have that as a little bonus feature you can chose. Let me start a movie with Guillermo del Toro showing me a scary ghost that might jump at me, but don't worry, thats just Doug!

It's rage inducing, because we've HAD short run series with huge fandoms before, because they took the time to let the shows marinate in the fandom space, giving us time to question and theorize and fucking do art, and fics and get in slap fights over where the plot was going.

Arcane would be fucking CANDY to this Hellsite on par with Doctor Who, If they had spaced out the episodes and let it run for three months.

The 9th doctor had 13 fucking episodes. THIRTEEN.

Bingeing is supposed to be for people who want to wait. the show itself can't GROW an audience if the audience is watching it all at once.

[re-jet-irony]

The episode ends, on a cliffhanger, or even if not, it leaves you wanting more. But there won't be more until next week. So you rush to your computer to get your fill online, discussing ideas, squeeing over the good, talking fanfic an and what ifs and searching art...talking to people, making friends maybe, even more excited for next week's episode and what it may bring...

With binging, there's a bit of a high at the end, some squeeing and art, but there's no theories because it's over, or discussion will only last so long between seasons because the show didn't really marinate in the brain the right way, and the gap will make you lose enthusiasm as you are encouraged to binge something else in the meantime.

It's created this...flighty feeling in fandom, and why some people don't even seem to care about characters beyond shipping or surface level representation: they're only in fandom for so long, because the new method is to watch it all and move on.

i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”
