#fandom bullshit

[lukewarmtomatosoup]

honestly all i want is for allo people in fandom to sincerely think about if they’re participating in erasure when they create sexual material of canonically sex repulsed/averse ace characters. “it’s not ace erasure because ace people can still have sex!” “it’s not ace erasure because asexuality is a spectrum!” ok if you want to play The Spectrum Card maybe you should consider that writing a canonically sex-averse ace character as a sex-favourable ace person instead means that you’re superficially acknowledging their asexuality while ALSO erasing the character’s more nuanced identity as a sex-averse person. have you ever thought about that before

[whispsofwind]

Ok no

One last thing about the GO finale because if I see another post about "that's how Terry would've written it" and "it's beautiful and makes thematic sense" and "you just don't get it" I WILL lose it, and I am getting pissed already because you don't get to drag one of my favourite authors through the mud to justify a rapist making a mess of a beloved story.

This is from the book. You know the only thing Sir Terry Pratchett actually had a hand in writing

Pag 206:

Adam wasn’t listening, at least to any voices outside his own head. “It’s all too much of a mess,” he said. “We should start again. Just save the ones we want and start again. That’s the best way. It’d be doing the Earth a favor, when you come to think about it. It makes me angry, seeing the way those old loonies are messing it up . . .”

Pag 212

“Er,” said Wensleydale, “don’t you think our mothers and fathers—” “Don’t you worry about them,” said Adam loftily. “I can make some new ones. There won’t be any of this being in bed by half past nine, either. You don’t ever have to go to bed ever, if you don’t want to. Or tidy your room or anything. You just leave it all to me and it will be great.” He gave them a manic smile. “I’ve got some new friends comin’,” he confided. “You’ll like ’em.” “But—” Wensleydale began. “You jus’ think of all the amazin’ stuff afterwards,” said Adam enthusiastically. “You can fill up America with all new cowboys an’ Indians an’ policemen an’ gangsters an’ cartoons an’ spacemen and stuff. Won’t that be fantastic?”

Pag 286

“I can make them better, too. Better trees to climb, better ponds, better . . .” His voice trailed off. “You can’t,” said Wensleydale flatly. “They’re not like America and those places. They’re really real. Anyway, they belong to all of us. They’re ours.” “And you couldn’t make ’em better,” said Brian. “Anyway, even if you did we’d all know,” said Pepper.

Remaking the Earth so it would "be better" and making new people to populate it is, you know. The Bad Ending of the book. As written above.

Anything but saving and protecting and improving the flawed world we have right here right now is a slap in the face of the original work.

So don't come at me with bullshit

TIL we don't count as a fandom hub.

**looks around at thriving tumblr ffxiv community full of wonderful talented individuals**

Uh. Ok. I guess if being a fandom hub means constant toxic behavior and drama then I'm happy to not be considered one.

[heelgripper]

I'm way too old to get into fandom drama anymore, but you know what, I can't let this one go.

People are shitting on Dana Terrace for having one confirmed cis character in her brand-new indie cartoon.

That's all. That's it. All she did was confirm a character was cis when someone asked. She did it politely and neutrally.

And now that's ... transphobic??? Somehow???

It's a one-episode show with maybe two or three main characters.

You know what, you guys need to respect Dana Terrace. She has been fighting in the pit against Disney for YEARS. She got a gay kiss on The Owl House, AND a non-binary character! At DISNEY! AT DISNEY!!!

Do you guys know how big a deal the fucking Lumity kiss was, back in the day???

I'm tired of fandom nit-picking creators to death. It's usually worst for creators who dare to try making any kind of queer representation. Where is this vitriol for our enemies?

Dana Terrace, they could never make me hate you. My non-binary ass will be on your side as long as I live, Dana Terrace.

[this-is-amato-heteronormativity]

Begging people in fandom spaces to stop treating nonqueer as the default.

An unconfirmed character is not automatically allorose, monorose, straight, monogamous, with 0 prioritized nonrose (platonic/queerplatonic, alterous, sensual, etc) attraction.

An unconfirmed character is not automatically unaltered perisex, cisgender, binary, gender conforming, and pronoun conforming.

Unless the creator or character explicitly states that they are all of those things, then you literally cannot tell people "[insert character here] isn't queer!"

(And also people are allowed to headcanon things that defy canon for the sake of fun and representation, but that's a different discussion to be had.)

STOP! POSTING! HATE! IN! THE! FUCKING! TAGS! FOR! THE! CELEB/SHIP/CHARACTER/ETC! YOU'RE! HATING! ON!

This is such BASIC Tumblr/online/fandom etiquette, but I fear the Baby Zoomers and Gen As aren't aware. Or don't care. It's basic common sense.

What we’re not going to do is track down my private, personal Instagram account in order to yell at me for what YOU did.

Drag me on this website. Leave the PRIVATE page I post my family, my SON on alone.

[readingkat]

Seriously?

How compromising are the met gala aftershow pics that we now have to deal with THIS.

The more they try the less its working.

Hudson cannot pretend for shit.

So, before anyone is freaking out again:

IT IS STILL NOT REAL.

They literally called the paps. Because otherwise with the exception of the glazers, people can see through the bullshit

Its awkward as hell.

Hudcon is still real ♥️
