I rarely say my takes unprompted but I genuinely can't stand modern fandom and need to scream into the void over it to thug it out.

it genuinely feels like fandom is in its gen alpha age of regression. I've noticed this heavily with other fandoms, for me I've seen it most in resident evil but now I'm seeing it in arcane too of ship wars being taken WAAAAY to seriously and just everything in general being surrounded by weird purity culture. Not to mention someone always trying to find some deep controversial reason into why you don't like a popular character or treating it like it's a direct attack. That weird portion can be left in 2020 with kinnies and IRL character shit.

What really pisses me off is that people especially on twitter, scream for fandom culture to be back, but the slightest mary sue, terrible animatic, out of character x reader, large age gap, weird fanfic, horrible but fun take, insensitive joke about a well loved character, and/or rare pair art gets crucified there. And y'all wonder why fandom is dead. Genuinely who wants to provide any material for an ungrateful bible thumping community and a hostile one at that? Or one that's so obsessed with canon.

Fandom etiquette is absolutely dead on any other website minus this one and even then I'm seeing some popular tweets that erase the fun of it here on Tumblr for some reason. Since I'm focused on arcane right now I'll be using that as an example. So what if people want to think jinx and Jayce would be friends? That doesn't mean they didn't understand the show or are less superior watchers to you. That means they don't have a stick up their ass. Who cares If someone makes a Viktor coughing joke? He does in fact cough a lot and it's placement can be funny. You are not morally ascended cause you didn't laugh at pixels fictional lung cancer. In fact you are morally shity for telling someone to kill themselves for joking about it.

Who cares if someone ships cait and Maddie over vi or vi with maddie. Or cait with ambessa or Viktor with sky or Viktor with silco. Literally the world kept spinning. Genuinely who gives a fuck it's an animated show about league not a real time war documentary 💀 Creepypasta literally turned a bunch of murders into a found family let's not forget how being delusional makes fandom more fun.

Like I said, Unfortunately since Im in an arcane place of focus this post will be using arcane examples but this does apply to every fandom.

I know I'm not really in the Jayvik side of Jayce x Viktor shipping (VikJayce shipper here) and I really don't want to step on anyone's toes but I've been seeing a startling number of Jayvik next gen art pop up on my timeline. And almost every post I see has Viktor as the birthing parent. And I have to say that it makes me a lil uncomfy how like almost EVERY post has Viktor as the birthing parent.

Now, I have nothing against trans pregnancy or mpreg (I've written a lot of ABO and mpreg in life, shush).

No, my problem is that Viktor's the birther!

I'm not saying you can't be pregnant while sick or disabled, that's simply not true. I'm just saying that so many people making Viktor the pregnant party concerns me.

See, I'm a caretaker for my disabled sister. She is chronically ill, has chronic pain, and has terrible depression. Specifically, shi has pain in hir back, hip, and leg. She has been like this for over a decade now. There are days her significant other can't even do more than hold her hand or pet her arm when they're in bed because the pain's so fucking bad.

and I cannot tell you how many times shi has straight up told me shi never wants to be pregnant for so many fucking reasons. She talks about how the extra weight would make the pain unbearable. Tells me that if she were ever pregnant she'd probably be constantly in a wheelchair instead of being able to use her cane to get around. Plus, there's a very real chance shi couldn't take hir meds while pregnant so that would be a torment on hir mental health. I think about these conversations constantly whenever I see art of Viktor with babies. But again, I am not saying never give Jayvik kids. I'm just saying...

Please, for the love of God, knock up Jayce some of the time, people!
