Witcher Women/Femslash Server

So with the new season and all of the AMAZING WOMEN CONTENT and AMAZING FEMSLASH FOOD, I wanted to let ppl know about our awesome server!!

We started as a femslash server but also we are just here to scream about the women. Share art of the women. Make all the women queer and sometimes trans and write them kissing. Send shitty femslash memes. Yall know how it goes

Invite here! https://discord.gg/BGPnWM6rZB

(It shouldn’t expire, dm this tumblr (our server blog, where we also yell about and promote all the Women) if it somehow does)

(Also, since ppl have asked in the past, no, you don’t have to be a woman to join! I’m transmasc and a mod so I would hope not lol)

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.

You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because “aro/ace people can still date/have sex”? Okay, then. LET’S DO IT.  I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same way—not romantically.

I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.

I wanna see the two demiromantics who don’t even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.

I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.

I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happy…but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired. 

Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?

I am going to make rant art about something I noticed and I need you all to engage with it in good faith or so fucking help me.

[blackfandom]

I can’t be… the only one that notices this right.

[blackfandom]

Image repost because I was just now informed that the image had no background.

[blackfandom]

Did not realize that the background saved transparent. My bad for those who couldn’t see it.

Hello, and welcome to my quick guide about how breasts-do in relation to arm + shoulder movement feat. scantily clad Jaheira. Who asked for this, you may ask? My conscience, mostly.

This is something I occasionally see misunderstood in artistic depictions of women - dreadfully leading to some core misconceptions about where breasts are supposed to sit at all times - and resulting in some truly head-scratching situations where the same woman's chest may seem droopier😱 depending on🤔 the way she's positioned🫨??? Well, fear no more! The mystery has been solved! You're welcome.

[creatingblackcharacters]

In general another pet peeve of mine about whitewashing is how we're expected to believe that it was not visible to the artist.

Like, if it's maybe a tad bit lighter? Okay. I usually let that slide. God knows my mobile and my monitor look completely different, solutions ineffective so far. Maybe you're still learning skin tone vs background. Okay. I don't get upset at that.

But you had to go all the way to the other side of the color wheel for some of these whitewashings and you're gonna look me in my Black ass eyeballs and tell me you "couldn't tell". 😐 Especially when all the other colors are the exact same 😐 It's almost insulting lmao like do you really think I'm stupid enough to go for that, or are we all just socialized into knowing I'll be forced to 🤣

[creatingblackcharacters]

Visible difference, but, I can let slide with exceptions. ✅

😑 so I must truly look like Booboo the fool, to you. ❌

The Elation and Anxiety of Reading Fic in Your Native Tongue

For fans in Kenya, Nigeria, and Burundi, “uncringing” non-English fanfiction is an endeavor in decolonialism.

Our latest piece is live! The brilliant Soila Kenya writes about the dominance of English in fandom and especially fanfiction spaces, and why for her and the fellow fans she interviewed from Kenya, Nigeria, and Burundi, this is partly about the global dominance of English-language pop culture, but especially about the legacies of colonialism:

The deep psychological imprints of this language disparity remain. And therefore, when I encountered fanfiction, it didn’t even occur to me that there were fanfics written in any language but English, let alone Swahili or any of the 42 indigenous languages in Kenya.

Click through to read the whole piece or listen to a full audio version! And if you enjoy it, please consider becoming a (free) member or especially a paying subscriber—we want to commission more pieces from Soila and other smart writers and we need your help to pay them!

(As a reminder, we have a discount rate for anyone who wants it, no questions asked—if you're a student, educator, un/underemployed, have a lower income, or literally any other reason, just email [email protected] and we're happy to provide!)

[destinationtoast]

So English becomes the default language of escapism; it’s where fiction feels fluid and open to play..... If fanfiction is about play, remixing, and community, then the discomfort we feel reading it in our own languages might say less about the language itself and more about what we’ve been taught those languages are for.

Really enjoyed this piece and the reflections about what type of content currently feels silly (to some fans) to read in some languages and why -- and what's shifting.

put three f/f ships you like in the tags. doesnt matter how obscure or embarrassing the media, go for it. and no, your m/m ship doesnt count as women

Racism in fandom spaces is actually insanely bad and if you ever try to downplay or avoid conversations about it because "fandom is supposed to be fun" then I'm not sorry to say this: You're adding on to the problem.

[blackfandom]

If POC speaking up about a fandom's racism issue offends you more than the racism itself, you need to think about that. You need to think about how POC fighting racism offends you more than the racism.

[igoontokaidanalenko]

shit i dropped my Triss x Yennefer art.

[snowberry-pie]

this has been discussed before but reducing female characters to the girlboss braincell holder in the name of combating misogyny in fandom is ironically also a form of misogyny

[snowberry-pie]

people love love loooove to go on and on and on about whiteguy #135336843’s internal torment and the nuances of his writing and then when it comes time to talk about women it’s all um actually she can do no wrong and holds the braincell and babysits the boys like a mother hashtag feminism. i hope you fucking blow up

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

[ghostapop]

i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary
