the state of literary analysis in fandom is tragic
We are living in the age of Schrodinger's Author, where the Author is simultaneously dead ("I am free to interpret his texts however I want as the reader") and alive ("It is the Author's fault I was able to interpret an offensive narrative subtext from his work.").
fuck an "intended audience" how about we normalize engaging with new and unfamiliar art pieces on their own terms
ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the difference between pushing a product and creating a work of art
I can't be bothered to find the thread rn. But there were a bunch of people talking about it, and I agree, so I'm sharing the idea here:
We need a death of the audience; lots of media gets worse because authors are too worried about a hypothetical audience. As someone engaging with media, you need to understand that you simply might not understand all of it, and that's ok. But also I think more authors need to realize that it's ok if not everyone in the audience will fully understand everything they're doing.
Media meant to please everyone is often special to no one.
I just canât with younger people in fandom spaces. Saw someone bitching about being blocked by an artist whose stuff they liked, only to find out that artist also draws darker content and proceed to slam the artist over that.
Wow. Wonder if that kind of behavior is why they had you blocked, brother?
grown woman behavior
"character deserved better" (but they were never going to get it that's the stuff great tragedies are made of) vs "character deserved better" (but the writers really blew it)
"but the text never explicitly stated it!!!" hey, so that's actually what they tried to teach you in those english classes you barely passed đ
before you make that post about how annoyed you are at all these dumb idiots calling their interpretation of these two characters something like oh idk siblings or family or whatever maybe ask yourself this:
is someone flattening this dynamic using a familial term or trying to invent a reason why no one can ship them OR are you just pitching a fit about someone elseâs interpretation of this dynamic (that theyâre expressing in their own space and on their own time, maybe sometimes saying they donât like the ship or it makes them personally uncomfortable) (again on their own time and in their own space) because it makes you feel weird about your ship and you have zero distress tolerance because youâre so used to all of fandom catering directly to you and your romantic ships that any deviation from that - which isnât even addressing people who DO ship them just expresses the op not feeling the same - feels like something is being taken away and youâre under attack.
"He wouldn't say that" has a beautiful cousin, and her name is "That's Not What This Story is About".
âĄď¸ Content warnings on fiction are a courtesy.Â
âĄď¸ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.
âĄď¸ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.
âĄď¸ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.
âĄď¸ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.
âĄď¸ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.
âĄď¸ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'
âĄď¸ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.
âĄď¸ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.
âĄď¸ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.
âĄď¸ You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.

I have never read a more excellent article
This is a great take and I would like to adopt âFeelings Yakuzaâ in English actually, I feel like it conveys the whole thing way more obviously than âantiâ (not to mention the muddled meaning of âproshipperâ).
To avoid harassment, EA and SEA artists have started pre-emptively blocking users with "proship DNI" or any variation thereof in their profiles as a result of this article and said feelings yakuza are getting pissed that their DNIs are being hard enforced by the other side. How very dare.
Iâm screaming with laughter at the actual Japanese term, o-kimochi yakuza. The âoâ is an honorific indicator to indicate how prissy and self-important these people are being.
I don't know if Maromi intended this to be the incredible takedown that it is, but I couldn't not share it:
Feelings Yakuza is such a great term I need to use it.
I am literally begging people to learn how to participate in fandom through a lens other than shipping
I hate you shipping discourse I hate you unnecessarily aggressive DNI banners I hate you dehumanization of those you disagree with I hate you harassment over ships or favorite characters I hate you purposeful lack of nuance I hate you false equivalencies I hate you policing how people engage in fandom I hate you actively trying to make fandom spaces hostile I hate you refusal to filter your feed I hate you making it everyone elseâs problem
the fact that people immediately ship actual living real breathing men together just because they have a close friendship is the exact reason that so many guys feel like they canât be like that with their guy friends because they donât want to be perceived as gay when theyâre not. y'all complain so much about toxic masculinity and yet perpetuate that culture every chance you get
This deadass fucked with One Directionâs dynamic, so the usual âitâs just fictionâ line doesnât apply here.
The amount of male celebrity friendships that have pretty much fallen apart because they keep getting shipped is horrifying.
Look at Markiplier and Jacksepticeye.
They were fine with the shipping at the beginning when it was just mild âone these two have such a cute dynamic!â
But it didnât stay there. Sidedly there was porn, very raunchy porn of them being drawn and having both of them tagged in it or sent to their inboxes. They asked for it to stop publicly and it tettered out a little only to start up again and this time with threats to their girlfriends over them âgetting in the wayâ of the ship.
And people wonder why there was over a year break between the two doing collars and why we hardly ever see collars between them anymore
That puts a rather different complexion on the âtheyâre totally dating uWuâ jokes about Ethan and Mark in the Unus Annus comments.
Itâs messed with Supernatural too. Jensen Ackles (Deanâs actor) becomes visibly and vocally angry and annoyed every time obnoxious shippers bring up a certain ship, because speaking about how uncomfortable it made him led to a smear campaign that labeled his as homophobic during the early 2010âs.
some other examples of male internet celebrities being shipped together a lot:
Arin and Dan from Game Grumps
Shane and Ryan from Buzzfeed Unsolved
Didnât it fuck with the Stranger Things kids too?
So Iâve heard.
Yeah, it doesnât just affect celebrities tho. My brotherâs friends on his old soccer team were percieved as gay. My brither himself
Iâve heard of that too.
but doesnât it boil it down to weirdos projecting their fantasy on to people? itâs their problem, not the friends =(
stop shipping real life people you fucking freaks
And if you do, keep it to yourself.
no, just straight up dont do it
THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE. They are real people with FEELINGS that can see these fics and be affected by them.
Go ship anime boys or fictional characters who canât feel and donât exist. Fiction is a playground to do whatever you want, but NEVER bring that same crap into the real world.
Now Iâm stuck wondering about the overlap of the kind of people who think itâs perfectly fine to ship actors together, but that itâs a sin to ship cartoon characters together.
A perfect circle
Considering one of the things that the anti-brony community did to âfight the broniesâ was ship wrestlers for some random reason and then, when confronted about it, respond with (and I paraphrase) âwow, you think itâs weirder to want two real people to fuck than to jack off to cartoons? freak.â yeah, I think I have to agree with Taka on the amount of overlap there.

Fandom Problem #14,106:
A male character being sophisticated and elegant doesn't mean he's feminine or trans.
A male being shy and soft spoken doesn't mean he's feminine or trans.
A male character being attenuative and parental doesn't mean he's feminine or trans.
A male character who cooks, cleans, and tidies the home doesn't mean he's feminine or trans.
A male character having long hair and wearing flowing robes/clothes doesn't mean he's feminine or trans.
A male character being calm and tranquil doesn't mean he's feminine or trans.
I could go on and on. Reverse can easily be said about female characters.
People like to talk about breaking gender norms, but the moment they encounter a character that doesn't abide said gender norms, those same people immediately claim that they're obviously trans.
i have something to sayÂ
it's always funny to me when ppl act like it's somehow incestuous for characters who consider each other found family/chosen family/whatever u wanna call the trope to date each other, and it's funny for many reasons, but most specifically it's funny because irl when you meet a person and get really attached and decide that you want to be family with them, there's a very popular legally recognized way of doing that & it's called marriage
