Fandom Problem #4129:

The discourse around the fucking Boyfriends Webtoon. Look, it's not my thing, BUT. People flip their goddamn lids when their queer rep isn't 1000% unproblematic fluff, it's "why do queer stories ALWAYS have to just be about suffering??? maybe we want the lighthearted stuff too!!!" Alright, whatever. So now, you've GOT your fluffy pure uwu wholesome nauseatingly cutesy shit and you're STILL MAD???? 'cause THIS time it's just "vapid fetishy shlock". What the fuck do you want. Of COURSE it's not going to be for everyone but for a lot of people it's going to be exactly what they've been looking for and you'd better not try to ruin that for them. And it's also pretty fucked to claim that a comic about gay men written by a gay man fetishizes gay men. Your "but the fujoshis-!!" argument doesn't even hold up here. You tell people to make the sort of thing they wish they could see, and you know what? He did! He did and decided to share it with people and now people won't stop giving him hell for wanting to make a cute comic. It's this unending cycle of "We want queer stories told BY queer people!" "NO NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!!" where queer creators get torn down by their own community. Seriously fuck off.

🦇 DC Batfandom Ask Game 🦇

Reblog this ask game so you and your mutuals can get to know each other better! Anyone can send me a number or question via the ask form on my blog and I'll post my answer.

What's your favourite comic of all time? (Alternately, what is your favourite story that's based on a comic or superhero?)

What was the first Batman cartoon you remember watching?

What was the first DC or Marvel cartoon other than Batman that you remember watching?

Which Batman live action movie was the most influential to you as a child or teenager?

If you could go back and change the outcome of the telephone poll that killed Jason Todd, would you?

If you got to be a superhero, what would you enjoy most about it?

What would you least enjoy about being a superhero in general?

Canon or fanon?

Comics, animation, or live action?

What do you have in common with your favourite character, and where are you completely different?

Do you use ao3, and if so, how many pages long is your ao3 history?

Do you create bookmarks on ao3? If you do, what are 5 "Additional Tags" that show up when you open filters in your ao3 bookmarks?

What's a trope that you consider a guilty pleasure? (In any medium.)

Do you buy comics weekly, pick up trades/read digital, or tend to stick to adaptations most of the time? No judgment.

If you had to passionately monologue for five minutes about your opinion of an event in comics, starting immediately, what would you talk about?

Something fun about terms like b-lister, street-level, etc. is that no two people have the same definition for the any of them. You’ll see people arguing over whether a character or team are street-level, using completely different definitions.

Star vs the forces of evil reference

*If y/n was a goddess and lived on mount Olympus*

*Y/n on trial*

*Exhibit B*

Judge: is it true that you abandoned you’re husband Zeus *Y/n looks away in disgust of Zeus* and you’re kingdom to Elope with an endless!

Y/n: *looks at Morpheus and smiles*

Y/n: yes, I did ran off with an endless but could you really blame me? How could I resist such a handsome face 🥰

*Morpheus blushing*

*court writing*

I love potatoes but I would never stick them up my ass, But can some of y’all say the same…

BRING BACK SLUTTY SHORT SHORTS FOR MALE COMIC CHARACTERS I AM BEGGINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fandom Problem #4246:

I've never read Lore Olympus, but the controversies always confuses me.

"THERE'S AN AGE GAP RELATIONSHIP"

Have you read anything from Greek Mythology before?

"THE PERSEPHONE AND HADES STORY GLORIFIES ASSAULT!"

Now I know you haven't read actual Greek Mythology. Because no it doesn't, do your research.

"THEY DID MY FAVORITE GODS WRONG"

If it bothers you that much, then go read something else. I'm sure you can find other works where that character is portrayed more accurately.

"IT FOCUSES TOO MUCH ON ROMANCE"

Again. Go read something else.

"THERE'S TOO MUCH PROGRESSIVE POLITICS IN IT"

Who the fuck cares. Left leaning writers are allowed to use their works as an expression of their views just as much as right leaning writers. It's called "freedom of expression" not "only the things that I personally like/agree with expression"

"I'M ONLY GIVING CRITICISM"

Your version of "criticism" is to call the creator either a hack or a creep just for writing a piece of fiction you don't like. Grow the hell up.

HellYeahHeroes/Grim Goblin, this needs to stop.

@hellyeahheroes

Before you say it, I'm not "tone-policing" or "censoring", I'm simply calling out your hateful toxicity. Once and for all. The way you demonized creators were-and still are-beyond disgusting. Instead of using your platform to celebrate comics as a fantastic medium and form storytelling, you have used it to personally attack writers you hold pretty grudges against. Let's get a few things out of the way:

Jonathan Hickman is NOT a fascist sympathizer or closeted Neo-Nazi.

Jason Aaron is NOT a misogynist, Reddit-dudebro militant atheist or an eugenics supporter.

Ed Brisson is NOT a homophobe, bigot or fascist sympathizer.

Dan Slott is NOT a racist, misogynist, pervert or fascist sympathizer.

Donny Cates is NOT a homophobe, misogynist or Nazi apologist.

James Tynion IV, Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson are NOT fascist sympathisers nor does Williamson support eugenics.

But most importantly: They are NOT hacks.

It was never about "wanting well-written stories", "having your favourite characters treated with respect" or "criticising crappy writing", no. Comics completely aside, it was all an excuse to lead hate campaigns. Because you hate them as people. Full stop.

Way before you read any of their work, once you saw their faces and names, you've held a deep parasocial hatred against them for existing. Why? Did they personally hurt you? Did they run over your dog? Did they force you to watch them eat your goldfish? Did they shove you into lockers? Did you see them burn an orphanage of puppies and kittens and then get away with it by claiming it was in "self-defence?" Did they take a massive, stinking dump in the middle of your living room and demand that you pay for it? Why? What did any of these creators do to you? Was sending all those death threats necessary? You're no "critic" or "champion of progress", you're a bully. No better than the supervillains your heroes fight against.

Cass, Kamala, Jen, Carol, The Champions, Runaways, New Mutants, New Warriors, Academy-X New X-Men would be ashamed of you.

Anyone who uses Undertale as the base measurement for "bad fandom" I swear has never experienced what an actually bad fandom is like. I have made an icerberg picture to sort of explain what I mean.

Undertale was kind of a victim of a really bad game of internet telephone. Where it was "Some people are being weird -> The community is weird -> The community is a cesspool of toxicity" which was just really strange given the fact that Undertale was mainly just an assortment of AUs with a few very entitled people in it. People's personal issues just got made public and since they were involved with the fandom that suddenly meant the whole fandom was like that. FNAF similarly had it's rotten people in it and like- one AU is all it got popular for in terms of its bad rep. Then we move down a level to more "ship war" type of places. RWBY and MHA are NOTORIOUS for their ship wars. You can breathe in the direction of someone who ships something like Bakugo x Deku and all of the sudden your twitter account is gone because of mass reporting. Some of you may not remeber Google+ but oh man. The RWBY fandom there? It was something. If you didn't ship Bumblebee get ready for a world of hate. I personally never shipped it and oh boy if I voiced that it was war in my notifications. I thought the relationship felt out of place.

Moving to Overwatch and Soulsborne, it's a lot of pretentiousness. Not necesarrily horrible but a lot of pretentiousness. Overwatch is also full of a lot of sexism and racism in its communities on top of the pretentiiousness. No one can agree on anything when it comes to balancing heroes. If you're a woman in high elo you're boosted, if you're in low elo then you're just a wannabe e-girl. Soulsborne suffers from people conflating "accesibility features" with "Easy mode" which tends to drive people away from the games. Moving down another level, you have Anime Power Scalers and Warhammer. Power scalers are kind of the bane of the existence of any community. They suck the fun out of a lot of things and tend to spread their way into other communities. Everyone knows of the "who would win Goku or Superman" and the fights that break out over it get oddly extreme sometimes? Warhammer (and this is coming from my friend who is in the fandom who helped me make this) tends to be very stuck up about figurines. And a lot of it is complaining about not having figurines. Also from what I've seen from one of my other Warhammer mutuals is the lack of self awareness about the subject matter and bigotry is often ignored in the community. Lastly we have the "your home address, work place, and family photos are now on the internet" type of fandoms (idol includes corporate vtubers, and kpop and jpop fans). If you disagree with ANYONE or criticize anything, get ready to lock all of your social media. Not only do they suffer from general bigotry but also the fact that any sort of differing opinion will get you harassed. DC's is anything about Synder. Marvel is anything about literally any woman character. I have seen the nuclear fallout of the aftermath of kpop fans or vtuber fans doxxing people for breathing near their fave. We're talking locked accounts and everything.

Does she dig up corpses? Turn people into salamanders? Fight crime with a pot on her head? Do you think she's the weirdest woman in comic books? Nominate her for the Weird Comic Woman Tournament!

In order to qualify, a character must:

Be a comic book character! Characters who originated in adaptations and were ported over to the source are allowed, such as Renee Montoya or Harley Quinn.

Be canonically a woman or girl, canonically genderfluid and multigender characters included! I'm all for headcanons, but this is not the poll for that. They've gotta canonically be a gal at least some of the time.

By 'weird' I mean conquering a pack of wolves and eating out of a dumpster, not sexual assault, incest, or anything of the like. In fact, keep all submissions non-sexual.

Submissions close April 14th! Submit as many weird ladies as you'd like!
