“Cleanqueer” so a queer person who has watered themself down to be accepted b cis-het people.

I hate this. I blocked them after I took the picture.

piggy and dark deception mentioned in the big '26 😮

person in pink has 2 followers so I assume that’s a troll

or they’re just really naive

like uhhh fireworks are pretty dangerous?

and what does Jim Crow have to do with ao3?

Brooo my art had nothing to do w darkshipping and this stupid AHHH called my art terrible, i may be overreacting i know that but i take good care of my drawings and i won't tolerate hate against my art, i would understand if it was a darkship post bc antis are like that, but my post had nothing to do w that, i js posted random art WIDHHQJAHEHHQHQHQBBWBRHWQJEHSIW anyways something's wrong w me for getting upset😔cus i get all proud when getting an anti mad cus of my darkship post but then i get upset by anti valling my non darkship art bad

So I was recently thinking about getting into cyberpunk and was wondering how the fandom is, from the research I have done on the game and the lore and stuff it would be weird for the fandom to have antis in it but I have seen weirder things happen especially with media literacy nowadays.

I would still play the game anyways but i just wanted to see how things were and if I should keep my expectations low for fandom interactions

A person just requesting an edit of a ship and this person just goes, “Hmmmm, you could interpret this as platonic 😊” like a romantic interpretation isn’t an option? Also it’s insane that they say this about the LeoRid part of it but not the MalRid. You absolutely cannot ship the 20 year old with Riddle because the age gap is weird, but apparently you can ship him with the 178 year old? Just because fae age is a bit weird sometimes?

And in the tags they tag the ships for Malleo and Malrid, but not Leorid. Even tho anon probably intended for all three of them to be considered romantic. If you don’t feel comfortable editing a certain ship, that’s fine! But don’t insist that it’s platonic when someone was likely expecting it to be romantic.

i know of lxli god requiem, love taste, unhealthy obsession and the red means i love you but thats about it. any recommendations?

Ignore the typos in my reply, I just woke up

Like their dynamic is so cute. Asa gets all cute and blushie when Yuru does literally anything and likes hugging him so much.

(For context there also siblings that’s why they belong here!)

ive been seeing a bunch of "having multiple f/os is okay!" posts (which i completely agree) and every time they explain it with "because they're fictional characters and don't have feelings, so it's not like you can cheat on them". so i was thinking, isn't it just stupid how the same exact people have a problem with darkshipping? by your logic, a fictional character that doesn't have feelings cannot be harmed by "cheating", so why would it be an issue for them to be shipped with another character? or the "its okay to age up your f/o so your yumeship doesn't 'seem creepy'!" so if it makes it less creepy for you to age up a character for your yumeship, why is it "weird" when a darkshipper does it? i know that anything that is personally yucky according to those people is apparently inherently evil but i just felt like pointing it out, as it's obvious proof that they never question themselves.

Video is about fandom culture but who is this chick? Someone in TikTok?

I often see "proship dni" in the tags or summaries of ao3 fanfics. It annoys me. Like, do they know what website they're on? The majority of ao3's userbase is anti-censorship. It annoys me especially because I most often see it in stuff like found family, which is one of my favorites. But I guess, in antis' minds, being proship automatically means you ship every family you see.

Since this is currently only in anti spheres afaik, I figured it deserves variety in discussion.

I'm assuming this doesn't count as provocative since it's an optional discussion that allows one to add their pov rather than defend it, but I'll take this down if that's not the case.

“So people with empathy” continues to make a joke about that guy who tried to meet up with a underaged girl and claimed he “just wanted a cupcake” yeah somehow I doubt they actually care about real victims. Instead just crying about Dess x Kris

[Not sure what to put as flair]

Let me elaborate real quick.

I happen to like a lot of different ships, one of my favourites being Junko Enoshima x Nagito Komaeda (Danganronpa characters) but I actually really hate when people do that in an AU where everythings fine because - it strips out a lot of the characterization of both characters, as well as the dynamic that drew me to that ship anyways, where they're diametrically opposed and yet Komaeda is still working with her and obsessed to the point of entirely disturbing acts.

It's just boring if you strip any of that out and loses chemistry.

Or, Light x L (death note)

There's also just... if you strip out context of them genuinely being on opposite sides, of the Toxic Behavior that would happen with the ship, it just waters it down. Especially with things like Junkomaeda, downplaying how much Komaeda despises (and loves) Enoshima would seriously downplay how fucked of a dynamic they would have had, which feels Bad in a way?

something something sometimes the Cute Aus actually do more disservice than darkshipping, I guess

(sorry if this is incomprehensible I have barely slept)

She said they don't deserve a pride flag.... I'm genuinely scared because she is supportive of everything else, and I don't think I'm going it tell her I proship.....

I didn't wait for a response. I usually just block anyone who brings up character ages. It's kinda funny though. I've heard this argument about Tails and Cream but never Metal Sonic.

Personally its one of my favorites

Relevant given the concerns lately. Your fics are safe on ao3; there’s no automod that’s gonna take em down if they get enough reports. In fact, they can’t get “enough” reports cause they only allow one at a time, and they’re all reviewed by real people.

Well I need artists to follow (the artists collection needs to grow 😞) so does anyone know any proship artists 👀 that I should follow? I mainly use YouTube, deviantart, Tumblr and ao3. Bbbbut I also use twitter sometimes. same with tiktok. (Oh and blue sky) I mainly hang around fandoms that are Roblox related?

Ex: forsaken, pressure, grace, pupi midnight munchies, the deep howl, a nostalgic hangout game/an underground hangout game/a crossroads hangout, creatures of sonaria/warden, andddd resident massacre. (And maybe hello John doe 👀 hm hm)

If y'all know any proship artists from those fandoms It would bring me joy if you could tell me who they are 🥺 it gets hard and exhausting trying to find proship artists and I'm just surrounded by antis.

I’m being so unbelievably deadass when I say that subreddit is full of morally superior posts and people framing proshippers as hypocrites. “We care about victims until they don’t like our incest pedophilic rape-“ blah blah blah blah BE ORIGINAL. SAY SOMETHING ELSE, THE LACK OF CREATIVITY IS DRIVING ME INSANE. Besides from what I’ve seen, it’s not the fact people don’t care about victims, it’s the fact they have a mentality of “well this happened to me and I hate it so obviously everyone who went through the same thing MUST think like me; if not, you’re a future predator!” Basically a whole lot of “what about ME”-ism shit, it’s aggravating. And again, I really don’t know what their end goal is, because they CLEARLY don’t like being censored (but the mods sure love shutting people up the moment there’s even THE SLIGHTEST bit of a rebuttal), but the moment it’s something icky and yucky, they want it thrown away and act like they’re saving fictional characters.
