#are basically subreddits

[mynnthia]

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

I'm just gonna say this right now: The communities feature sounds a lot like subreddits, and we'll have problems with powermods moderating multiple communities as well as other power-hungry problems. Mark my words: This will not end well.

Fascinating. I was added as an "approved user" to a cat subreddit I don't subscribe to and have never heard of.

What was everybody's nightly random brain spiral this fine evening (it's 5am)?

Mine was spending 3+hrs deep diving into researching the US military nuclear naval officer program due to a recruitment email I got in my school email (I'm an engineering major rn) despite the fact that I knew realistically I have too many medical conditions to qualify.

At the end of my brain spiral, I found an official document listing every disqualifying medical condition and I disqualify on a MINIMUM of 4 separate accounts from that list. I was literally WEEPING in laughter. The absolute delulu and audacity I had thinking my chronically-ill ass could even CONSIDER this.

Anyways that's how my evening went.

one of the most frustrating things is when you watch something thats very character focused and then you go online and see that almost all fan discussions boil down to "why dont the characters just communicate ugh i hate every single one of them theyre so annoying can they just focus on moving the plot along" like damn it sounds like some of you should just go watch something else huh

BEGGING people to learn how to mark spoilers effectively. this is mostly about sites like Reddit where you can have a title and then hide the body of the post, or discord where you can hide select parts of your message — tumblr’s tags work differently, but I guess this could apply for putting spoilers under a post break. regardless, people everywhere should know this stuff

If you make a post with a title like “What did you think of this moment?” and then tag it as containing spoilers, that tells me nothing. I’m on book 1 of a series right now with 5 books so far, can I read this post without spoiling something? I have no clue! I could click on the post to see what it’s about, but then, oops, maybe I’ve spoiled a major moment from a later book. Or maybe it’s something from book 1 and I’m fine 🤷🏼‍♀️ I can’t know unless I click!

UNLESS. You title your post “What did you think of this moment at the end of book 3?” or whatever. Now I know not to click on it! You need to include SOME kind of non-spoiler information about what exactly you’re discussing, so people can know whether or not it’s a spoiler for them. Now go forth and mark your spoilers effectively

I feel like in the past the mix of this site being used for both activism and fandom helped contribute to a lot of unhinged politicized fandom discourse where yeah ofc there's a political tie to media but ppl used it as... a form of activism where it was given disproportionate importance compared to other activism discussions? Whereas now we're swinging to the opposite site of How Dare You Care About Meaningless TV Shows When Politics.

Like... we can have a mix of realizing there's more important stuff to focus on than shipping discourse in the world at large without also minimizing the insane doxxing and death threats behavior going on in fandom that people in fandom have to take into consideration to be able to do their hobby, esp given how those attitudes stem from irl political climates at times in ways that are telling to study. Hobbies are kinda how we prevent activism burnout also. Crazey how that works.

I believe that if you have been active on the Glee subreddit in the last 5-10 years, particularly in the pandemic era, you deserve financial compensation, a Medal of Honor, literally anything for being in the trenches on that thread. Every time I log on to check and see what’s up, they are literally posting the most rancid takes and excusing homophobia or racism or both. It was truly were nuance and analysis would go to die, especially for characters like Santana and Quinn who didn’t fit into the nice near boxes of the show.

If your a fellow deserter/former member, you have my upmost respect
