maybe this is not my place to say because I am monolingual, and I'm sure it's part of a larger, more nuanced discussion about visibility and accessibility on the internet, but I think it'd be cool if people posted in their native languages more instead of in english. I see people do it way more on other platforms than on tumblr which is almost exclusively in english

El problema es, como bien has dicho, la accesibilidad y la visibilidad.

Tumblr en concreto es muy anglocentrista y un gran número de los usuarios no habla más que inglés. Si quieres que tus cosas lleguen a gente con gustos u opiniones similares, escribirlo en inglés asegura que la gente por lo menos lo pueda leer. Suma a esto el hecho de que bastantes series y tal son originalmente de habla inglesa (y a veces ni se traducen a tu lengua madre), lo que crea un fandom principalmente angloparlante.

Más allá de eso, también hay que tener en cuenta las diferencias culturales que surgen entre fandoms de distintos idiomas. Por ejemplo, durante mucho tiempo el fandom de Vocaloid angloparlante y el hispanohablante han chocado con respecto a temas como la piratería. En ocasiones es complicado manejar estas expectativas, y si sabes varios idiomas, peor incluso.

A mí me gustaría subir cositas en español y encontrar a gente que comparta mis gustos, pero en Tumblr en concreto es casi imposible. Tumblr ya es de por sí mucho más «nicho» en espacios hispanohablantes que otras RRSS como TikTok o Instagram, y si tus intereses no son muy populares, despídete.

La lingüística de los espacios de fans también está hipercentrada en el inglés. No es una pareja, es un ship; no es un universo alternativo, es un AU; no es destripar, es hacer spoiler, etc. Incluso las siglas: en español es LGTB, pero lo que sueles ver es LGBT. Parece una tontería, pero esta disonancia cognitiva hace que resulte muchísimo más complicado hablar en tu propio idioma en un fandom. Por no hablar de las innumerables referencias a posts o a memes... en inglés todo, por supuesto. Como te atrevas a hacer cualquier referencia cultural no inglesa, no te entiende nadie. Pierde la gracia.

Casi todo esto se puede achacar al imperialismo cultural estadounidense. El inglés es útil para comunicarse con gente de todo el mundo, pero su omnipresencia sirve de barrera para todos los demás idiomas. Quizás habría que reflexionar un poco sobre por qué coño el resto del mundo tiene que tragarse años de clases de inglés para hablar del juego que le gusta en una red social mientras muchos angloparlantes no se dignan ni a meter un texto en un traductor automático y prefieren pasar de largo.

"Hey did you know Lex Luthor baby trapped Superman? Did you know they have a biological child? Did you know-" SHUT UPPP!!! WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT MY BOY KON??? Did YOU know that the original- the ORIGINAL story was that when Superman ☠️ DIED ☠️ a research lab called CADMUS stole his BODY to clone their OWN Superman but because he's invulnerable they couldn't get a 🧬 DNA SAMPLE 🧬 so they used genes from the lab's research director PAUL WESTFIELD as a base, then modified his sample genome so the clone would LOOK LIKE Superman and gave it the appearance of having his powers by giving him TACTILE TELEKINESIS based on Superman's invulnerability field (because it was outside the body they could scan and replicate it), which would allow him to telekinetically affect ANYTHING he was 🫳TOUCHING 🫳 This gave him the ability to FLY, super strength and invulnerability on top of other applications of his powers (such as telekinetically dismantling a bomb he was touching). He was meant to be developed into adulthood but was freed by the CLONE SONS of the CADMUS scientists BEFORE he fully developed, meaning he popped out at roughly 15 YEARS OLD and got called SUPERBOY. Lex didn't even KNOW HE EXISTED until he debuted on TV and he was MAD he didn't have in on the cloning shit. That's CANON if you actually 📖 READ 📖 the Death of Superman, but GEOFF JOHNS must have been reading with his EYES CLOSED because he wrote in a theory that Kon was actually "the clone of Lex Luthor and Superman" that was published and 🚫 DISMISSED 🚫 in the Superboy letters column because it was RIDICULOUS but then he got employed at DC and ten- TEN YEARS later in literally his FIRST issue writing Kon he made his NO MEDIA LITERACY. FAN THEORY. canon and used THAT for shitty eugenics "but that means Kon has 👹 EVIL GENES 👹 from Lex Luthor what if that means he'll turn evil???" CHEAP ANGST STORYLINES and took away his COOL PUNK FIT and made him look like an ARMY BRAT LOSER.

Shawn Hatosy confirms that the "Sir you need to shut your fucking mouth" line was quite literally him not in character joking around but they wanted to keep it in because they thought it was funny and then cut most of the build up of the two guys arguing back and forth in the stretchers that made him say that.
