#this fandom is weird

Finding out you’re blocked on AO3 by someone you’ve never spoken to is a wild experience.

I just stumbled upon the @whereisgemhatepagehatepage and the @whereisgemhatepage and I’m so confused…. This fandom is concerning yet also funny

LMAOOO why are these fans like this ?? i mention one thing and they mention another, sort of related to the topic. i stick to the topic and then they reply CHANGING IT

like no, no. my initial tweet is about [topic] but YOU wanna try to counter and i explain my point by saying what you brought up doesn’t really change things and then you wanna talk about “L thread with a lot of yapping tbh” — which fair (ngl i did the thread the way i did to try and break it down and make my point easier to understand lmao😭) — but then proceed to go on about how cool whatever happened is and how other characters wouldn’t have known either

BRO WHAT ??!! what does any of that have to do with what i said ?? HUH ???? i mean, i sure that last part correlates that other characters may not have known BUT THE WHOLE ATTACK AND IQ STUFF ?? i’m not talking about that dude…

maybe i misunderstood but whatever . not even worth it

trying to have even a simple discussion of things is difficult. they don’t stay on topic. at least it reminds me why i don’t engage or share my opinions cuz sheesh

i know...i saw that and i was like why are we dunking on a girl who had to leave the show bc she had a literal medical emergency 😭😭😭

it's just so weird especially bc the seats she lost were in the front row and her other tickets aren't for that like again I don't think like taylor nation or whoever is obliged to give her new tickets but being rude about her being sad does nothing...especially bc I'm assuming she's not a US swiftie so there's less chances to see taylor in general.

“season 1 ian was his happiest era!” and then they will show you a photo of him smiling at his 40 year old boyfriend

The duality of RWBY fanon is that Jaune (who canonically does not fuck) fucks everything that moves, while Taiyang (who has canonically fucked) has never and will never fuck.

why did you say; “and i shouldn’t say that”? like honestly that makes it seem like as if you know you’re doing something wrong. but maybe you just meant it because of this fandom.

anyways i really don’t see how calling someone cute is all that bad. or bad at all. most of the time it’s said in an innocent way. people should go after real sexualizers though. i remember concerts finn has done and the main part of the audience was 20+ year old woman calling him hot THATS weird. and like not just recent ones but from when he was 13/14 too… people really just don’t see the wrong in it either. my mom keeps calling him attractive every-time she sees him which also makes me very uncomfortable. and i think this is why so many fans are so defensive because the cast gets sexualized so much. especially finn and millie.

Honestly, if I said "and I shouldn't say that" it's JUST because I knew people here would go crazy over me saying the word cute for a person they apparently still consider a "child". I knew people would misread my post and jump to conclusion. They always do. And hadn't been this fandom so toxic, I wouldn't have been defensive like this tbh. Because saying that Finn is "cute" NEVER meant an attraction in my book. He's just that, yeah. He's cute. In an endearing kind of way.

Now, I'm gonna walk on eggshells again because I know that my point of view doesn't correspond to the political correctness of this time.

I understand that 20 yo women calling 13 yo as "hot" can come off as weird because the word is inappropriate. I personally don't understand why or how you can call a kid "hot" when you're past 15 so yeah but to each their own, I guess. I mean, when I was 13 I had this HUGE crush on a 40 yo married guy and if stuff had happened, I would have been totally on board. (Nothing never happened). I've dated guys and girls sometimes 10 years older than me or 2 years younger... When I was about 19 I had crazy wet dreams on Cate Blanchett and Richard Grant... So, I don't care about this sort of thing. Age to me is a very vague concept that I don't understand and I think we're making too much of a fuss about it in this time period. But that's just MY opinion. And again in case I haven't been clear: I am NOT attracted to guys (or girls) younger than me, so 20 yos are way out of the scope. The only guy in the cast I find remotely attractive is Joe because he's my age.

As for your mom, I can understand you're freaked out. I used to be crept out too when my mom or her friends made comments on some of my male friends in High School. But then I realized that I was just making a transfer because I was scared of being sexualized myself and now that I'm older, I can see how harmless she meant it. I'm never gonna use the word attractive myself but I really think we demonize age too much, esp when the person is legally an adult. There is a huge difference between a woman having one emotion for one twenty year old in particular and a creep like Polanski who openly expresses his attraction for 13 yo girls. Even DiCaprio who only dates women before 25. I completely tolerate an isolated situation, so seeing a couple with an age difference will never shock me (and yes even if one of the person is what the US consider "underage" around 16 - 17 - only speaking of healthy relationships here), but when it becomes a trend, that's when it gets suspicious.

The problem today is that we put everything is the same basket and treat isolated situations as global deviances. A reminder that this obsession with "protecting" children is very modern. Kings and Queens used to marry at 13. The view we have today is unique on the scale of human history.

Anyway, I hope I will not be misread again.

EDIT because it's important: there is just ONE thing that I will NEVER tolerate. It's when we ship ACTORS. That's my one absolute limit. Esp when they're kids. That's disgusting. As for Millie, the stylists have sexualized her for years. She's 18 but on red carpets she looks older than me and THAT is not normal.
