ranting about something that I’ve seen in the forsaken community (specifically doublefeodra and its shipping community) of lately
As a multishipper who indulged into forsaken because of this duo, it genuinely frustrates me that the community has been so bad lately that it’s caused this ship to have a TRIGGER WARNING.
Not what it’s about on its own,
Not what the animation or art is about from the creator,
But the entire ship in general.
How bad can a fandom be to the point where what used to be a harmless & popular ship is now a triggering topic for many users because of the harassment, fetishization, & disrespect in the doublefedora subfandom? This is unfortunately common in many communities but cmon yall… :/
Whether you may think I’m being too woke or not, the fact that it’s gotten THIS BAD to where I’ve see many recent videos and artworks adding a “trigger warning! Doublefedora!” more than the actual ship itself is upsetting.
And this is coming from someone who got into the ship around Sept-Oct. I like the general dynamic and possibilities that these two have. As long as it’s not overly fetishized or insanely mischaracterized (which unfortunately yaoi has always been fetishized for many fandoms now but I won’t rant about that) then i enjoy most fan works of it! But it just sucks so bad that this is how it ends up to be. A toxic place.
There’s been content creators (will not be named) who’ve received death threats, dox threats, hate comments, etc all because of a ship that really isn’t even that bad. How is doublefeodra more hated than the proships made in this fucked up community????
In conclusion, I feel that this fandom has taken things especially with doublefedora WAY out of proportion. Let’s calm the hell down and get back to reality. Let’s be appropriate. Let’s respectful and enjoy a potentially funny pair rather than harming others.
It’s two adult characters interacting with each other. Stop making it weird or threatening others who like the ship. We’re all mature enough to be decent people, right?
(And before anyone goes “yeah well this is the internet this stuff is expected—“ or “it’s just two characters from a Roblox game,” that doesn’t mean that it should be excused or okay. People genuinely have been triggered from this ship because of the toxic fanbase surrounding it. Though I do believe it has something to do with the issue regarding soul, hykoto, etc as a whole, the ship itself is such a bad topic now that it makes more people upset about it than generally enjoying it like they used to.)
Sorry for the sudden serious post but I had some WORDS to say.
