#fandom in a nutshell

"Isn't it weird that these 2 completely different characters canonically exist in the same universe?"

No not really.

You, me, Kendrick Lamar, Jaiden Animations, Weird Al, Lynda Carter, Scott The Woz and Sigourney Weaver all exist in the same universe and it's no big deal.

Here she’s apologizing but the comments…

first of all, you know i hate influencers, so i'm already predisposed to be sick of this nonsense. 😤 these english influencers are not beating the allegations...

but as a content creator, you would think she would be aware of...context?! it's people like this and the platform teams are giving them that are ruining this sport for everyone, especially when there's a lot of racism, classism, misogyny/misogynoir, and just plain rudeness with people like this 🙄

anyway, dazn put out a statement:

[fuji09]

We need to bring kindness back to fandom.

We need to stop judging people based on who they ship or who they stan.

We need to stop treating others like they're stupid and exasperating for bringing up "old news" when they are new to the fandom and for them it's all new.

We need to go back to ship and let ship. It never should have come to proship and anti. People didn't used to harass and judge others for who they shipped.

We need to go back to quietly filtering the tags we don't want to see, not scroll through the content we hate and then attack people who love that content.

We need to stop accusing people of being a pedophile because of who they ship. The only thing tha makes you a pedo, is being an adult who is attracted to prepubescent children. Adults attracted to teenagers (post pubescent) are hebephiles. Stop calling hebephilia, pedophilia. It does more harm than good and waters down the severity of the words.

We need to stop being ageist. The amount of ageism in fandom now is disgraceful. Teens and young adults constantly judging older adults and trying to push them out of fandom is so wrong. Who do you think gives y'all the most content? Adults. Stop acting like 30 years old is ancient. One day you'll be 30, it's not that old, seriously.

We need to stop acting like minors and adults can't be friends because "they have nothing in common and it's creepy." Their shared interest is fandom! Fandom elders used to be treated as the coolest people in the fandom, and now they are treated like they are intruding on the spaces they made.

We need to stop with minors openly engaging with NSFW content. Stop following people who have "no minors" on their page. Stop openly engaging with adult content because you may not get in trouble, but the adult could.

We need to stop ignoring fandom etiquette. It's there for a reason. Going into tags of what you hate isn't healthy for you and it's annoying to the people who like those tags. Making a post about hating a certain ship? Don't tag that ship, use "anti [insert ship name here]".

We need to stop demonizing DDDNE (dead dove do not eat). Whether it's there to warn about triggering content or there to emphasize that you're getting exactly what was said you'll get, it's there to not only protect the author, but the reader as well.

We need to stop accusing people of things they are clearly not. Accusations of racism, especially towards poc, is not only hurtful, but it's constantly used for when someone doesn't like a character that is a poc because other reasons to not like a character is just apparently not thought of anymore.

We need to stop judging other people's headcanons. Headcanons are there for us to enjoy.

We need to stop insulting each other and each other's art and writing in fandom. Don't like don't read. Move along and check out something you do like.

We need to stop with making everything about a ship or character you hate and spreading said hate throughout the fandom. It really isn't cool to have pages dedicated to hating characters and ships. It's not edgy, it's sad.

We need to stop trying to control how people perceived what they read and watch. We are all different, we all won't see things exactly the same due to our life experiences and how our minds work.

Fandom is supposed to be an escape from the world, to have fun, and to meet others who are interested in the same things.

All this hate and discourse makes everything unpleasant. End the cycle that started less than a decade ago. Fandom can go back to being just being fun and not a morality contest.

The angsy kerfuffle

Hero; "Kel I need you to go buy clothes and soup."

Kel; "Okay bro, I'll call you back later."

(Later...)

Kel; "Hey Hero, there's a bit of a problem."

Hero; "What's up?"

Kel; "I can't find them."

Hero; "Can't find them? The soup and clothes?"

Kel; "Yeah, there's only angst."

Hero; "...What?"

Kel; "There's only angst."

Hero; "What do you mean there's only angst?"

Kel; (Drops at a strange puppet that looks suspiciously like Omori) "It means there's only angst!"

Hero; "Get out of the angst aisle!

Kel; "Okay, you don't have to shout at me!"

Kel; "There's more angst."

Hero; "What do you mean there's more angst?!"

Kel; (Looks at a broken wheelchair stuck in a random space) "There's just more angst!"

Hero; "Go into the next aisle!"

Kel; "There's more angst!"

Hero; "Where are you right now?!"

Kel; (finds two contacts lens, both singular and in red and purple) "I'm at angst!"

Hero; "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE AT ANGST?!"

Kel; "I MEAN I'M AT ANGST!"

Hero; "WHAT STORE ARE YOU IN?"

Kel; (Wearing a hoodie now for some reason) "I'M AT THE FANFICTION COMMUNITY!"

Hero; (Now suddenly wearing a brown jacket, is blond, and is holding Sunny at gunpoint) "WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AND SOUP AT THE FANFICTION?!"

Kel; (About to stab Hero over the phone) "FUCK YOU!"

Canon vs fanon posts be like

Canon: My correct interpretation of the character.

Fanon: Your incorrect interpretation of the character.

[didalexiabreakupwitholgaisback]

hi anon - i'm blocking out a portion of your ask and adding the following psa: please do not ask me any details about alexia's home, and especially nothing about where she lives/what neighbourhood in barcelona she lives! 😵‍💫 (i've received a few similar asks like this in the last day!)

and that goes for any player. there are people online who have tried to pinpoint the building where mapi and ingrid live and the specific complex for barça housing, and all other types of inappropriate things. what is going on people? everyone needs to take a step back and give players their privacy and respect boundaries. 🙏

we got so much good alexia content today, so instead let's enjoy that and this bonus video of frido and aitana asking a little girl to blow them kisses and a little boy telling cata and irene how much he likes the present he received. 🥰

mildly entertaining pjo fandom curse (mostly in that you can make games out of it):

everybody draws Piper showing skin. half the time Shel as well. literally almost EVERYBODY. go look at Piper fanart. is she wearing a crop top? i bet she is. or if she's wearing a dress hers is gonna be one of the most revealing. bonus points if they gave her a belly button piercing. and it's almost always only Piper and/or Shel. i thought we had a whole discussion about sexualizing young indigenous girls back in like 2021 but i guess nobody processed that part cause pjo fandom acts like if they dont have Piper show her stomach or have her shirt ride up they'll die.

the curse is that you will never unsee this. have fun with that.

I can’t choose which side to take. That guy is my friend, and so is the other. True. I’m rooting for Thame for sure. Someone like me will never take sides with Jun. No way. Are you saying this because you don’t want Jun to date P'Po? Eh? Of course. Someone like Jun isn’t supposed to date anyone.

Me every time I engage with the Marauders fandom in any shape way or form. Like, no matter anyone's preference, we ALL agree that angst is the fuel and basis for this fandom.

I woke up and chose pain

whyyyyy wont' Alexia post photo dumps like everyoneelse? it's so annoying that she never posts anythings. 😫

hi anon - okay, as we head into the new year, i think it's time to post a reminder for everyone once again. and this is not just applicable to alexia but to all players.

it's a good thing that women's football is getting more recognition and that people are paying more attention to female players, as they deserve their flowers. and we, as fans, have been very spoiled by players who also share their personal lives with us.

but that has also led fans to be extremely entitled about what they ask and demand of players, including stalking them, throwing things to be signed at them, posting unauthorised photos of them online or even more egregious: tracking where they live, or what hotel they are currently staying at, and stalking their friends and family members. it's too much.

first and foremost, alexia is a professional football player. the only thing she needs to worry about is her performance on the field and her recovery off it. and that's the only thing she 'owes' to us fans: bringing her best to barça every day of the season.

everything else is bonus, and if alexia chooses to share parts of her world with us, that's great. but we should not complain or demand she do more. 🙏

anyway, here's alexia celebrating new year's from last year!
