You guys remember when you could just do the whole "Title minus Hero of part = nickname" thing to differentiate all the Links in the regular Zelda fandom without lu stans instantly thinking this is about them somehow (despite the comic itself never even using those nicknames) and going absolutely haywire? Those were the good times lmao
(Seriously though it's been a thing since the 2000's in the general fandom and is still common everywhere else that isn't tumblr/ao3, where it's only stopped because of all the harassment. Jojo from LinkedUniverse didn't invent the concept of crossovers. No, not even Link's Meets. Like. Cmon)
#legend of zelda#linked universe#<- on account of a noticable trend of this happening a lot lately#but rn instigated by scrolling past a fic where the author got#*bullied into turning their story into lu*#because it ^reads as lu^ (aka used the Zelda fandom nicknames)#by GETTING STALKED AND THEIR ADRESS DOXED#like. wtf#and it's not like this is a new or one-off thing.#Just look at all the other Links Meets comics that either have to plaster not lu everywhere#or quit#or will never even begin to exist#because people know they'd have to deal with this if they ever tried getting their stories out#bro I recently saw Regular Ass Zelda Fanart with a gigantic disclaimer not to tag as lu#because apparently Hero of Time angst is lu now#lu anon hate harassment / death threats / doxing is like the lu fandom's oldest ^drama^#except it never ceased#really though ^it reads as lu^ because there's two Links in a room.#lol. lmao even#and before anyone starts again:#i just suck at conveying emotions through text without using emoticons#the vibe here is /hj#or half-serious#not meant to be read in any angry or rantful tone that may be interpreted out of it#imagine an XD at the end of every sentence#except for the one about doxing#ok? >v<#TLDR#that one ^when you mean the girls and gays can you include me too^ meme
