FANDOM enabling groomers on their site while also having their clanker delete all my harmless replies of me saying an animal crossing villager looks gay
holy fuck we need to start bullying fandom wiki editors.
gnawing on the walls and thinking about sexism in fandom. female characters are ignored and villainised. oftentimes for the sake of an m/m ship. you guys can't stand women. fandom as a whole ignores and hates on any and all female characters and sexualises them beyond belief. i fucking HATE fandom's relationship with female characters because you ignore the most brilliantly written women for the sake of a one dimensional, nothingburger of a man. fandom claims it doesn't like a lot of female because the author made them boring and flat, then turn around and dote and write and draw the most boring man ever. fandom's internalised sexism is going to make me bite someone's head off oh my GODDDDDDD
Reposting this with the addition of the warning that I will fucking kill you if your response to this post is to accuse me of not reading the books, or not knowing how to read, or any other ableist classist bullshit.
I fucking hate you useless stan fuckwads who cannot even handle a fucking poor person pointing out basic fucking classism in a book series you like.
Don't you pathetic fucking sacks of shit dare to call yourselves anticapitalists if you literally cannot handle even reading a post pointing these basic fucking facts out.
Do not fucking reblog this post to accuse me of not reading these fucking books. I will fucking kill you.
Original fucking post you classist sacks of shit lost the privilege of reblogging:

How come all the people we ever meet in The Murderbot Diaries who are not literal slaves are all already upperclass academics?
Where the fuck are the dock workers? The laborers? The miners? The farmers? The burger flippers?
Where are the actual poor people???????????????????
Why are they all upper class?????????
And I just know that a bunch of rich fuckers or their bootlickers are gonna go "they're all equally poor in the eyes of the billionaires <3 and I'm telling you now to shut the fuck up.
Where are my fellow poor people in this supposedly anti-capitalist series? Why is everyone we meet a doctor or highly specialized researcher of some kind????
Where the fuck are the poor people?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
-
The only actually poor people we ever fucking see in this whole series are the people from book 2 who were demonized the whole entire time as being The Most Obnoxious and Horrible People Ever To Exist, and then victim blamed for getting fucking *sold into slavery*.

Free fucking blocklist for the classist fuckers who decided that hijacking my original post to ~do propaganda~ for these racist, ableist, classist, exorsexist books. I fucking hate you people:
rising--dawn jazzybot4 fakeharmless amemait pandorem
And if you reblog this post with stan fucking bullshit or reblog anyone else's attempts to do that, your name will be added to this list and people who actually fucking care about poor people will know you're a useless sack of shit who can't even handle basic fucking observable facts of a book series you like being acknowledged.
You do not get to fucking put your worse than useless stan bullshit on my fucking post and call yourself anticapitalist. Especially if you are also fucking currently joining Martha Wells in shilling for Apple by praising their racist whitewashing TV show.
Every single time you worse useless fucks add your stan shit to my posts my hatred for these books and the bigotry they are spreading increases ten fucking fold.
Do not fucking dare to put your classist ableist shit on my fucking post. Block me and move the fuck on with your life if you literally think pointing out basic fucking facts of the books is a crime.
Fandom using AI for non-English wikis
Fandom today announced that they aim to AI-translate wikis into foreign languages, beginning with German.
As someone who has put countless hours into expanding the German South Park Wiki by doing own research and using the dubs as main source, I simply find this DISGUSTING and VERY FUCKING SOULLESS.
Quote from the blog post:
Ultimately, we want to improve the accessibility of wikis for international users—creators and fans alike! To start, we are helping communities translate their wikis to German. This is done with AI-assisted translation [...]
No matter how big of a thing that would turn out to be, I feel highly disrespected. First they shut down all international support, and now they pretend to care by slamming AI into our faces???
People don't want AI, how often do people have to remind companies of that? But I am honestly not this surprised, considering Fandom's enshittification and how they treat their communities. Seriously, fick dich Fandom.
Ironically enough, their platform refused to publish my original comment due to "profanity", so here it is:
I have spent so much time on bringing wiki pages to German myself by doing very own research and evaluation, and now you basically tell me and many others in the international wiki community to fuck off? Because you think AI can do it better? Your "AI" isn't even capable of properly detecting vandalism - hell no, it even randomly reverts back to edits that were solely made to spread hate and toxicity. You really should not wonder why more and more wiki communities across Fandom decide to leave, and with this you will definitely lose even more. People don't want AI-generated slop, they want human-written texts if they visit a goddamn wiki.
What's up next, Fandoom? Whole AI-generated pages or even entire wikis???
the lord of the flies fandom is just a mad circlejerk of jack appologia, laaaaame laaame lame, go find a worse book to fetishize and cutify, go read something else losers god damn
not to sound shady (insincere, and no one cares anyway) but like, there are certain things that i wish didn’t have fandoms? fandom just... ruins things. there is only one genuinely good fandom i was in and that’s because the fandom site was in some really capable hands but....
like i’ve been there done that a lot in my life to a point where i literally don’t give a shit. but it’s nice to have comforts in life, it’s important, it’s how we cope ladee da da.
that being said, i need to desperately learn not to explore the fandoms of comfort things i like because....
that kirby fandom??
damn.
everything about is just like....
Here is a completely random example to show how absolutely fucking weird the Fandom wiki is.
Made Up Shit Is Okay...
Adachi's Fandom Wiki entry includes a bit about the reference to him on the cop drama on TV, but it also says that the detective in the drama is named "Sakyo Hinoshita".
I have no idea where this name comes from. If you google "Sakyo Hinoshita", you get 3 results, 1 of which is Adachi's Fandom Wiki page:
One of which is Morgana's page, where the name also comes up, but this time with sources:
However, if you look at the sources, one is a Japanese artbook that mentions Morgana likes the cop drama, but neither of them mention a "Sakyo Hinoshita".
(Arrow part just says "Likes cop dramas".)
Trying to Google "Sakyo Hinoshita" (I tried 照下土竜佐京 [Hinoshita Sakyou] and a few others) + ペルソナ (Persona) also yields nothing.
As far as I'm concerned, this is completely made up, but it is on the current version of Adachi's Fandom Wiki entry.
...But Factual Shit is NOT Okay
If you look at Adachi's infobox profile on his Fandom Wiki entry, it says the following for his name:
透 or とおる being romanized as "Touru" is based on what, exactly?
In the English game, it's written Tohru. On some Japanese products, they remove the double vowel and just write Toru.
What romanization style is "Touru" even supposed to be? In hepburn, it would be Tōru. In both nihonshiki and kunreishiki, it would be Tôru. For word processing (e.g. when entering on a keyboard), it would be Tooru. I don't know shit about "spoken language-style" (JSL), but I believe it would be Tooru there too.
Now, this might seem like a simple mistake that one should be able to fix, right? Okay, well, no; the history page tells a different story.
People have tried to fix this and it gets reverted.
...and the user who is reverting it IS A FUCKING ADMIN LMAO.
And really, this is just one small example of "Made Up Shit Ok, Factual Shit Bad". I just do not know what you're supposed to think here lol.
