Rainworld Fandom

You have to be really, really careful going forward. No matter what's true about Pansear, no matter what they did, what happened, you need to be careful, going down this road. Because a prolific fandom artist and voice who has by and large been a pretty positive person on the outset just got harassed heavily four months apart, had their domains appropriated to spread the accusations about them, and their friends, former or current, are going through incredible pains to archive their stuff. This is a controversial take, and so help me if you use it to reflect on my wife, because this is my take: What happened or what was true is and was way less important than how the Rainworld fandom polices itself going forward. Because it has just been demonstrated that this is a thing you can do and by and large get away with, and the accused did not even defend themselves the second time around. They just ghosted, and frankly I don't blame them. I have been harassed and am a former victim of harassment campaigns (and a former victim of many things, so, y'know.) I would have been tempted to jump ship too. I probably wouldn't have, because I'm extremely stubborn, but also I have never been as popular as Pansear is or was. I have never been in their position. But I do understand what's going on here. And I've seen it before. You have to be extremely careful and sort through what's true, what's false, fact check, and so on. If it does come out that every single accusation, no matter how far fetched, was true? That does not change what has happened here. You have to be careful. I have seen this before. I say this with nothing but love in my heart.

you know, I thought that more people would relate to SunBeam's entire thing with her mom, more than whatever the fuck is going on with NightHeart's entire thing with his mom

Is it too late to mention that it’s always irked me when writers add to a finished story on twitter, and then it gets treated as canon?

This is, of course, different from the tweets where writers answer questions about unclear scenes that were already put in a story, or gaps in the narrative from scenes/chapters being cut. Those types of additions don’t bother me at all. But adding in completely mundane facts or events seemingly out of nowhere—on twitter no less—seems… like it shouldn’t be allowed?

I might be misreading how the fandom responds to this stuff though. I’ve always thought people took it with a grain of salt but it’s hard to figure out the line in the transformers fandom, when even undisputed canon is taken lightly and shuffled around in a blender.

I don’t write this with heat but I do have big feelings about it all the same. Jro’s tweets about random character facts that didn’t happen in the comics shouldn’t exist on the same level as, y’know, actual canon. I will die on this hill

something about the way that (in cql) whenever jin guangyao expects to be on the receiving end of interpersonal violence, he never resists, at most closes his eyes and waits, just... oof. Oof

TBH all of lemon monster's songs no matter what mod are REALLY GOOD I just wish they were exclusively his vocals without any boyfriend + with all the awkward gaps in the instrumental filled in by more of his singing it genuinely sounds REALLY good and I want MORE MUSIC LIKE THAT

there’s a tendency to make “call to action” posts on here that lack any sort of nuance or actual problem and are fairly nondescript but somehow attract an unbelievable amount of notes and attention (like......more than content creators will receive on gifs/gfx/edits), and i think maybe we should pay attention to where we decide to expend our energy/how we choose to engage with posts like these that are otherwise an effort at gaining clout under the guise of “uniting” the fandom
