Alright Imma say it: the bots posting 🌽 on the tmnt x reader tag is getting out of hand jfc

There is a phenomenon happening on Tumblr right now which may be a product of the Twitter exodus or maybe its just modern fandom mentality vehemently rejecting the old, but you guys have GOT to stop being so damn MEAN about fandom.

There are posts circulating on Tumblr right now hating on so many aspects of fandom. Yeah we all know the incorrect quotes format can be cringe and most of the time its the same quotes used for every fandom ever reducing the characters to stereotypes. Yes we know most fandoms scramble to ship the two basic white guys over all the other characters. Yes we know your blorbo probably Does Not Fucking Say That. Yes we know A/B/O is weird AF (especially now its breached containment and found its way into mainstream hetero erotica). Yes we know SuperWhoLock was ridiculous and attempts to make modern shows into a new SuperWhoLock have got old fast.

But do you have to constantly drag these things all the time? Why is it suddenly cool and popular to ridicule and criticise and hate on peoples fun?

Let people be cringe

Let people play in the fandom sandbox

Let people have their fun

Not everything has to be an intellectual critique and it doesn't make you a better person to constantly shit on fandom ON THE FANDOM WEBSITE

Fandoms can be problematic, toxic, and infuriating at times. But all the negativity isn't making things better. Yeah okay some aspects of fandom can be annoying, but must we have so many call out posts go viral on here specifically for hating on parts of fandom culture? Yet people wonder why fandom creators are quitting and there isnt as much art and interaction on here as there used to be.

If you see another negative post shitting on aspects of fandom cross your dash, maybe think before you reblog it. Maybe ask yourself if that post may be hurtful to a mutual? Perhaps youve got a mutual who writers A/B/O or CharacterxReader fanfiction who doesnt wanna see your reblog of the callout post stating reader×character fanfic is gross, or perhaps your mutual creates fun text posts applying quotes to their fave characters and youve just reblogged a 90k+ note post calling them cringy and overdone.

Just THINK please. Its not necessary. We've got to be KINDER to each other. Please don't let this place become like Twitter. Twitter was a toxic cesspool where no one had anything worthwhile to add to the discussion, no one created, everyone was just screaming angry rants into the void. Dont let tumblr become like that, because it will be the death of this place. And where will you go to find fanart and gifsets of your blorbos then?

fascinating that not a single one of the english ccs other than bad seems to care about any of this? like okay

Guys this is a discourse free emoji blog you don’t need to give me a fucking dissertation explaining your reasonings for watching a fucking TV show. I’m 24. It literally does not matter to me it’s okay.

transphobes who are obsessed with “genital preference” are so wild because no one is making you fuck trans people. the issue with a trans person Making you fuck them would be the issue of rape and not of transness. you are not entitled to know the details of someone’s body in advance and if at that point you change your mind consent can always be revoked, or its again not an issue of transness but of sexual assault.

if you have a preference no one is going to MAKE you date or fuck trans people but if you are super loud about your “preference” its annoying. and when you start to justify that preference by saying well i’m a lesbian or i’m a gay man so….that universalizing and making a rule out of what you say over and over again is a Personal right and preference is when you are being a transphobic piece of shit. and you are not speaking for me or for the majority of dykes and fags and all other queer people who dont abide by outdated dumbfuck bioessentialist ideas

I fucking hate the tetris effect so much. Like oooh lemme play this funnie little card game rogue-like, ooh it's so fun it's gonna be the only game I play for weeks now, oooh what do you mean I'm fucking duplicating multi-card holographic sevens in my dreams

It's hilarious how naruto has chemistry with almost every character in that show except hinata

I’m not sorry I’ll straight up say it.

It feels incredibly racist to me that MCU literally stole a character from Miles’s comics, to give a new best friend to Peter Parker, so you know the 10th+ version of this white boy could feel slightly different from the 9 other white boy Peter Parker’s.

Again, to make their 3rd movie series version of Peter Parker stand out from the two other Peter Parker movie trilogies, instead of just making their own creative decisions and character writing, just plucked the character of Ganke Lee, from the Miles Morales comics, and rewrote him into Ned for Peter Parker.

I'm not saying ITSV and ATSV rewrote Ganke's character for the movie specifically because of this as the movie does already make changes from the comics- but I would't be surprised if they avoided using Ganke much in the movies to avoid being compared to Ned. Which sucks, seeing Ned is just Ganke Lee from the comics repackaged.

Again having to steal a a character from a black character's universe and comics to make your white character more interesting than the dozen versions of your white character before is gross.

But the creator of Ganke Lee from the comics says it best.

“It's weird only because Ganke wasn't part of Peter's story — he was part of Miles's story."

I'm curious rb and put in the tags what your favourite fantasy race is and why

Atla live action 😐

Yoo hahah why does your weird clone stalk your account sm......

Dude, I wish I knew.

WTFFF I thought thirteen would be my new girl crush love of my life heart eyes wife you-came-after-twelve-you-must-be-better-than-they're-all-saying bbygirl and then I had to sit down and watch as she told a man who (if he were not a murderer, of course) literally every regeneration before her would've LOVED and FULLY SUPPORTED that "the systems aren't the problem. how people use and exploit the system, that's the problem. people like you" </33333 !?!?
