#Koko cares

[lilac-read]

PSA TIME

So some people may remember a few months back the whole Koko cares thing? If you don't, that's fine, there's a really good post explaining why it's NOT a good service.

Now, there's a new app making the rounds, called Landing. It's like Pinterest meets bullet journaling, and it's free. Which is great, it's still in development which means it's a bit finicky, but I can see it quickly becoming the next trendy social media app to have.

The reason I'm making this post is because when exploring the app, and specifically the account settings, there's a link marked Mental Health Services. It takes you to Koko Cares. I haven't done research into the actual owners behind Landing, but being associated with Koko straight off the bat feels like a red flag to me, and since this is the fandom artist website, I figured I'd try to let people know.

There's a post making the circles about fanfiction that really reaaaaally rubs me the wrong way. It's essentially arguing that fanfiction is a small subculture of the internet and shipping is a small niche subset of that, and it's on you if you walk into fandom spaces and complain about shipping which lol.

Like the first point, sure, but to call shipping a niche in fandom spaces is ridiculous. Gen is the niche in fandom. It is difficult to downright impossible to exist in fandom places without engaging (even unwillingly) with shipping, and it's questionable at best to claim the only reason that people might have problems with this is homophobia.

Like, don't frame this as if it's so easy to engage in fandom and avoid shipping, and then imply there's no reason people would want to engage in fandom besides shipping. Just tell me you don't care about aro people and go.

Reminder that this is coming up to air in Tokyo Revengers:

Reminder that this is how this shounen takes the leap and puts a LGBT storyline between two prominent, main-cast characters on screen. A messy storyline about overcoming confusion, letting go of old attachments and facing new feelings that remains relevant through to the end of the story, worked out as any other plot point. Not implied, but expressed in in-story written word and unambiguous visuals.

Again: in a shounen anime. 

In a mainstream, dudes-punching-dudes anime series that airs on TV.

Regardless of whether one enjoys Koko and Inui as characters in particular, or the ship in itself, the fact that this happens / is able to happen (god, I hope it's not censored out) is important.

I can't stress enough how rare these things are.

I'm nervous, not gonna lie, these things hardly ever make it on-screen for reasons, but at the same time I trust Liden Films and how much care and respect they've put into Tokyo Revengers so far. Can't wait to see how it goes.

Okay Jesus fandom, I’m finally watching The Chosen. Admittedly I was skeptical going in but there’s this moment in the second episode where Jesus is at Shabbat dinner and he smiles and winks playfully, and I just…YES Jesus isn’t JUST suffering and duty and sacrifice. He’s playful, he’s prayerful, he’s divine yes but he’s also HUMAN. He’s my savior but he’s also my FRIEND.

Love them arguing about winning and Koko claiming half of a reward he doesn't even know about only for Mitsuya to break the news to them

And I wanna walk with you

On a cloudy day

In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high

So won’t you try to come

Come away with me, and we’ll kiss

On a mountain top

Come away with me, and I’ll

Never stop loving you

Lunala: I CAN'T DO IT!

Solgaleo, laughing: I CAN'T EITHER!

Lunala: I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT ANYMORE.

Tapu Koko: WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN EITHER GIVE UP NOW, OR YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT. BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, AND WE KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT US.

Lunala:

Lunala: I appreciate it,

Lunala: BUT LOOK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH-

Tapu Fini: Lunala-

Lunala: YOU GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!

Tapu Bulu: Lunala we gotta-

Lunala: YOU GOTTA DRAW A FUCKING LINE IN THE SAND. YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT.

Lunala: YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY 'What am I willing to put up with today?'

Lunala, motioning to Necrozma: NOT FUCKING THIS.

People will really say that Koko loves and pays attention to her son more than Misako when Koko didn't put together that Lloyd was the green ninja when he was sneaking out to do ninja shit FREQUENTLY but Misako figured it out before literally anyone else.

Perish (love how Tumblr decided that not only is it the queer site that constantly suppresses queer people, but now they’re happy to get desperate users (many of which are minors) to get their data harvested just like that koko one! Oh how they care.) I can’t wait to see the lawsuits.

Koko Cares now has a QR code for easy sharing!

I'm sorry, but I do find it pretty annoying that the only time people on Tumblr seem to care about platonic relationships is when they're trying to argue why a canon M/F ship would be better as friends when what they REALLY mean is that they want the F to get out of the way so the fan favorite M/M ship can get together.
