14 and 15

WARNING THIS WILL BE VERY RANTY

Sorry this took a bit to answer haha, I was thinking about these ones for a little bit and I wanted to be able to type it out on my laptop because this may be long(and my laptop is slow). This will be a pretty heavy one.

So lets start with 14 -sigh-

TW rac*sm, h*m*phobia, ped*philia, r*pe, inc*st.

I'm sure this isn't unpopular, but my opinion about the fandom is it's pretty bad. Of course I love most of the users on here and have overall been very pleasant to interact with, but the issues are very overwhelming and become more apparent on the Reddit. You can say, it's just the Reddit, but I've seen these issues on Instagram, Twitter, and pretty much everywhere else. Some of the major issues are homophobia, racism, and the very concerning amount of pedophilia jokes/normalization.

So let's start with the homophobia portion.

As I'm sure everyone has experienced sometime in the fandom, there is an overwhelming amount of homophobia within the fandom. Let's take GenoSai for an instant. Whether like the ship or not, there is definitely a double standard among the fandom. Art where the ship is Genoko(Genos genderbend) x Saitama, it is perfectly fine and little heads are turned, but as soon as you mention Genos x Saitama, everyone goes batshit. They like to say it's because "ships don't belong in the fandom" but then turn around and ship Saitama and Tatsumaki or Saitama and Fubuki. They even go as far as to say "making them gay is disrespectful to the character or it ruins them". I'm sorry but if you're that delusional, I don't even know what to say honestly. Certain users got up and arms about the Batarou ship as of late after the reveal of Kiro in 170. Many users were sent unprovoked abhorrent asks or comments all because they ship them. Some have also downplayed the fact that bisexuality exists as well because of this, just stating "Garou isn't gay" or "Garou doesn't like men". There have been some that have written amazing essays on it so I won't go too deep into it here. Another thing is the downplay of LGBT voices in the fandom. They constantly harass LGBT users for having gay ships or other LGBT ships, when all we literally want is representation. It angers me when they say "well you have Puri Prisoner" and I'm sorry, but fuck that. I literally hate the character. They have no right to speak over us and preach what an acceptable character to represent the community is. No right at all...

Anyways... back to double standards, lesbian ships are more accepted because they are fetishizing them. Some of the most popular are Psykos x Fubuki, Fubuki x Do-S, and...ugh...Fubuki x Lily. So they ignore a literal 14 year old and 23 year old and think it's okay but somehow two consenting male adults in a relationship is worse??? Same thing with incestual relationships such as Fubuki x Tatsumaki.

A smaller section is the way they excuse Darkshine. I understand the intention may not have meant to be racist, but at the end of the day we can't keep excusing it. I feel awful when I remember his backstory because he's not a bad character, in the sense that he's a good guy.

Ah the pedophilia jokes and the normalization. I can't tell you how many times I've seen really disgusting jokes about the child characters in sexual situations. The thing is, they aren't even funny. As mentioned before, they already normalize the relationship between a 14 year old and someone she looks up to, who is 23. Well, let's dive into their favorite thing, One Hurricane. There is a volume of this lovely series , I say sarcastically, in which Child Emperor( a 10 year old) is raped by Fubuki (yet again, a 23 year old) and I sadly laid my eyes on a panel. Fubuki is sexually assaulted by Saitama multiple times throughout the series as well as Do-s in one volume. They still celebrate the series as "so good" when it literally excuses rape ad pedophilia. It pisses me off so bad. There are many users who draw or post incest, pedophilia, rape and are celebrated. It's sad I can think of so many off the top of my head, BY NAME.

I have some other things I want to talk about but the post is getting long...

I'll do a briefing of things I don't like about the manga itself. I don't like the way Kama is treated, she's way too beautiful to be presented the way she is. Especially in the webcomic when her name was "Slicing Shemale". I understand that there is apparently some translation issues, but sometimes I wonder.

I already talked about Darkshine and Puri.

Is there any straight ship any straight ships or do you just stick to yuri?

This is not Hate!

don't worry I like this one's:

Rudy x Isuzu from log horizon.

Chitanda x houtarou form Hyouka.

Saitama x Tatsumaki (manga universe) from one punch man (they make me laugh, is more like a joke ship)

Bennett x amy Fischl from Genshin (I just want them both to be happy)

Silver x Blaze obviously from sonic (same as before I want them to be happy)

And many more, I don't get mad if they are not popular ship's after all I ship for fun nothing more, but if you are asking about the ones in the Tadc I ship Kinger with his dead wife 😔, and Caine with the moon.

[do-you-ship-it-polls]

Do you ship it?

[peipakao]

various sonic and flash related tweets i made that i think are at least mildly amusing

[magicfroggo]

pissing off every fandom

I DO NOT AGREE WITH BASICALLY ALL THE TAKEZ ON HERE I WAS JUST TRYING TO THINK OF STUFF THE FANDOM WOULD HATE THE MOST DON’T COME AFTER ME

also if u want me to do another fandom just send it in my ask box

So many peeps are complaining about anti-climax cuz we jumped from the middle of an epic battle to character introductions and I get that it's an anti-climax but at the same time...

👏 LET 👏ONE 👏 COOK 👏

OPM is in a slow cooker. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes.

I feel like my hyperfixation on One Punch Man is dead, and it's not to say I don't enjoy it anymore, I still really enjoy when we get chapters. It's just I never really feel like posting about it and my friends don't really talk about it anymore either.

And it's not because of the break, this has been something I've noticed post Monster Association arc.

I started reading the One Punch Man manga a couple weeks ago. At one point started live blogging it to my sibling. Looking back, the specific screenshots I sent connected in a way that made me have even more feelings. I present: a transcription.

Me — 03/16/2024 10:58 PM caught between feeling Very Normal about this, and being like. yeah. those are the two states Genos exists in

Me — 03/18/2024 11:07 PM my feelings have been grievously injured. Genos realizing that he doesn't want to die and needing to be told that that's a good thing. Look at his face

Me — Yesterday at 4:32 PM this is a scene from an early chapter currently being remembered by the main character in chapter 166 after Something Happened. The only context you get is that I'm Going To Die

Me — Yesterday at 5:34 PM I AM ALIVE BUT I AM UNWELL

So yeah. Something something, Genos can handle himself until he can't, doesn't care about dying until he does. Something something, Saitama always shows up late, but it's never really mattered that much, until it's the only thing that matters, and then, by a miracle he can't even remember, he isn't late at all.

Something something, Genos saw complete self-destruction as a viable and acceptable emergency attack for so long. He attempts it in his introduction. He intends to attempt it again, and then can't bring himself to do so and thinks himself weak for it. He wants to live, and he doesn't understand it, and Saitama (says he) doesn't really understand either when Genos tries to explain. But he tells Genos that his continued survival must mean he's gotten stronger. And then Genos is murdered only minutes later.

What must Genos think? Thanks to Saitama, it didn't happen and no one else remembers it. Thanks to Saitama (refusing to let go of Genos' core), Genos does remember it. He was told that he's strong because he's alive, and then he died. That's not how Saitama meant it, but Genos doesn't know that because they're both shit at words. They value different kinds of strength. No wonder Genos is so concerned with and disappointed in his own physical strength in the following days.

Funny that ONE said the Reigen is like an older brother figure and the fandom decided to give him the dad title instead.

Cause he doesn't feel like a brother to him at all. :P He's a young adult entering his 30s while Mob's a kid in middle school. To me, who actually has an older brother by 8yrs, and a nephew nearing Mob's age too, Reigen behaves nothing remotely brotherly to him - his vibes veer more towards an uncle or brand new (surrogate) dad who's struggling how to properly adult. :P His involved adult responsibilities as Mob's guardian and supportive care towards nurturing his mental health & wellbeing run far more paternal (or maternal, if you go by his own manga gags) than brotherly.

The more appropriate older brother figure would go to Garou(18) for how he treats Tareo(10) in opm instead. [While he's ironically called 'uncle' (oji-san) for gags.] Calling him 'turd' (shitty brat/kuso-gaki) yet stopping at nothing to protect Tareo from harm as his hero. As someone who can't help caring and looking out for him - and saving him from bullies, in his tsundere way. And that's more like it.

Random idea but Pim as Genos and Charlie as Saitama/One Punch Man (It’s for a friend)

Yooo I love One Punch Man!!!

[cowboy-robooty]

no shame to whoever likes this stuff but i always think its insane just how many people like hetalia where theyre sobbing and terrible people and abuse and cheating and crazysauce shit. cuz i love evil stories with darker themes/relationships too dont get me wrong but it feels to me like doing that to hetalia is like doing that to looney tunes. me when woodpecker has irreversably traumatized coyote and [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED]. im just sayin guys i think hetalia fandom is in the same ballpark of the south park fandom sometimes

[carma-tjol]

alternate opm universe where the suffering isn't perpetual idk

[do-you-ship-it-polls]

Do you ship it?

See this as the self-indulgent ramblings of a greedy fan. In my greedy mind, I'd love the OPM manga to come out in 'seasons', like 10 weeks of 4-6 longer chapters (50-60 pages a piece) with a six-week break* between them to submit the next volume, take a break, and sketch the next set.

To really make it work, I'd love it if ONE would take a page from his webcomic and make sure that each set of storyboards has some point to be made. It's what's made the long gaps between wc releases bearable -- you have a good, meaty chunk of content to digest and ponder about in the interim. In a perfect, perfect world, the release of a new volume would anchor each set of chapter releases.

It'd work out to three volumes' worth of pages. Which is about 570 pages a year (Murata draws way more than that most years), just more concentrated. I'm thinking that with the multiple projects each man has, shorter but focused bouts of attention for OPM would work to the better.

Here I am writing in a semi-forgotten corner of the internet in a language neither man speaks. That should tell you all you need to know about how likely this is to end up a suggestion! :D

Ah well, who knows? They've been changing up how they do things since the beginning and they may hit on just such a way.

*wait, I hear you say, 'wouldn't that only add up to 48 weeks? What about the other 4 weeks?' It's called 'vacation.' Or whatever else they want to do.

Is it just me, or does pre-sacrifice Grunbeld look like Garou?
