My Fanfiction

#index #master post

Okay, I've now seen this outside of the Transformers fandom, so I want to tell anyone who will listen that "Amalgamous" does not mean "Shapeless".

You are thinking of the word AMORPHOUS.

"Morph" means form or shape. Metamorphosis is "transformation", such as caterpillars becoming butterflies.

The prefix "A-" means "opposite" or "lacking", so "amorphous" means "the quality of lacking form/shape."

An "amalgam" is a mixture or combination of various parts. Amalgamation is the process of mixing or combining various parts into a whole. "Amalgamous" would be "the quality of being composed of various parts".

So, Nexus Prime would have been a better Transformer to name "Amalgamus Prime", because that's his entire deal... well, actually I guess his specific deal was breaking apart and scattering, which is the total opposite.

Schrödinger’s FNDM, or “No True RWBY-fan” Fallacy

When people think Cinder will get a redemption arc they don’t want, it’s because “Rooster Teeth and the FNDM are radical feminists”.

When people hate Ironwood becoming a villain, it’s because “Rooster Teeth and the FNDM are anti-white able-ists”.

When people see Adam revealed as a villain and die without redemption, it’s because “Rooster Teeth and the FNDM are anti-black racists and slavery-apologists.”

Rooster Teeth and the whole FNMD simultaneously belong to every contradictory hategroup you can imagine, if you took every small part of the FNDM seriously.

All evidence to the contrary is ignored, because none of the complainers really care about seeking objectivity, they just want to use any excuse to beat Rooster Teeth and the FNDM over the head until someone submits and makes canon match their fanon.

And the most popular verbal weapon these days is calling someone an “-ist” or a “-phobe”.

Fandom Problem #15,921:

I love shipping and AUs and blorboposting and silly meme fan art too so I don't mean to sound like the fun police but sometimes I'm a little perturbed by how resistant fandomgoers can be about analyzing and engaging with media on its own terms instead of re-shaping it into something they like better.

Saying all art is political because you can find a way to argue your political opinions through it is the same as saying all art is fetish because someone out there has a kink for whatever the art is depicting. You see the problem.

Best term to describe this is "eisegesis", right?

Eisegesis is the process of interpreting text in such a way as to introduce one's own presuppositions, agendas or biases. It is commonly referred to as reading into the text.[1] It is often done to justify or confirm a position already held. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisegesis

eisegesis - (Theology) the interpretation of a text, esp a biblical text, using one's own ideas. Compare exegesis - personal interpretation of a text (especially of the Bible) using your own ideas https://www.thefreedictionary.com/eisegesis

At least, based on the definitions, seems to line up.

I understand it’s difficult to be a parent but it’s time we start telling parents bluntly it’s not the internet responsibility to keep your child safe it’s your responsibility to keep your child safe on the internet

There will never be an effective system for preventing children from seeing something they shouldn't that doesn't rely at least partially on parental effort.
