#unfollow that shit

i'm so ready for the new wave of fandom. out with the old larrie guard and hello to a new era where we can use basic reasoning skills and be like no yeah those guys were super weird about each other back in the day for reasons we may never understand but oh well it's still fun to think about and discuss and reminisce etc. ready to just support whatever they're (separately) doing in present day without the exhausting exercise of analyzing every little thing through bluegreen glasses.

Hard same! And I think the new wave is out there and swelling, they just don't know where to go--the loud voices are fucking loud about it, but I like to think their days are numbered, as is their sweet, sweet validation via follower count/engagement (alas, I'll never know for sure, but there are some subtle chunks of negative space where once there wasn't much--I'm a pro lurker, lmao). Anyway, I love this ask, co-signed!

okay look, the real reason that zepotha shit is never gonna be Goncharov (besides it being a marketing ploy) is because Goncharov was treated like a fandom (collaborative including celebrities, built upon over time, openly fictional) & zepotha is treated like a tiktok trend (no collaboration, dies fast, treated like reality recklessly). it doesn't matter if it's interesting or cool or what, they've been built on completely different foundations. you're comparing Spiderverse to Endgame here. hydrogen bomb VS coughing baby. zepotha will never have Lynda Carter & Martin Scorsese's approval.

a development team that looks like this could not possibly have any preconceived biases against Black people. noooo way. its just a mistake that all of the Black people in fo4 are slaves or named after fascist colonizers or murdered or stereotypical conspiracy freaks. there is no way that the reality of this team is reflected in the art they create over and over and over and over and over and over and

nsfw blogs stop reblogging pictures of literal babies with sexual tags/captions like "someone put a baby in me". actually, nsfw blogs stop reblogging pictures of children in general

oooooo white people in my replies really saying ‘I can excuse racism but I draw the line at homophobia’

Not surprised since this is the site that only talks about racism and thinks it’s a big deal when they see it demonstrated in the cartoons and comics they like *coughs* dungeonmeshi *coughs* (for example at least. I haven’t seen THIS many white ppl talk as in depth about racism on here as much as these fandom nerds, man. I stg. Like “Ohhhh, so you all DO acknowledge that racism is real? Just not in real life even if you could feel it slapping you in the face at high speed. Gotcha.” It’s crazy.

Tumblr is like, 90% white and is extremely centered around them. That’s why you barely see stuff that’s important to black and brown people ever trending here or being talked about. It has to be something incredibly huge to the point where even white people can’t ignore it like they usually do, to talk about it here.

They only talked about George Floyd here because the topic of his death became world news. Even people in other countries were talking about it. Before him, it was probably Ferguson and Trayvon Martin… most of them are still trying their best to ignore the genocides because it’s a “touchy subject.” What do you expect from white people who live in their own bubbles of comfort and refuse to pop it with a needle??? They find comfort in their privilege and faux ignorance (they love playing stupid to avoid conversations about important things outside of fandoms like, are these mfs born with half a brain dedicated to fandom or what.) That’s literally all these mfs make a big deal out of, especially on this annoying ass platform. The ao3 mfs will go to war for the site that allows racist ff and cp like it’s no big deal. I wonder how many people here even donated to the site while actively scrolling past dono posts from folks who really do need help. They act like they’re doing a civil service by defending this site that makes over the amount of it’s intended dono goal in minutes.

Then you already know as soon as you even bring up racism in the stuff they like, they start ganging up and harassing black bloggers especially, calling them TERFs and the whole nine. Anything to make that person look bad for being concerned about the racism that they have such an intense aversion to. God, it’s absolutely exhausting knowing that these people would have no problem choosing a cartoon character over your entire existence if they COULD. Isn’t that fucking sad, man?

there’s a video going around fb rn of a popular tiktok dog person saying liking dogs and knowing a lot about dogs, esp purebreds, has ruined dogs bc she can’t just see a cute dog anymore she thinks about all the little faults and possible medical conditions, etc

and I just gotta say

let it go my man

if it’s interfering with your life so much that you can’t enjoy a dog just for being a dog, even if they’re conformationally bad, a designer breed, BYB, etc. its unhealthy. if you can’t just be happy for your coworker and coo over cute puppy pics bc the puppy is a mixed breed and have to leave a group chat so you don’t say anything… that’s fuckin’ unhealthy.

get some therapy so you can enjoy something that used to bring you joy again

My blog is welcome to all people who would be considered cringe.

Quadratic cat mask wearer? Welcome friend! Let's rest those joints I've got some dog beds in here!

Neopronoun users with 8 different xenogenders? That's so cool!!! Come tell me about what drew you to them!!!

You're autistic or have an intellectual disability or generally neurodivergent in any way (I'm talking to you bipolar dogs, schizophrenic deer, lizards with ocd, etc) you are welcome here anytime. I see you and you're doing amazing!!!

Dress visibly therian/furry in public with tails and ears and other things? You're so brave and so cool and you inspire every child who passes you on the street.

And to the young therians. The ones who are so afraid of joining this community due to other members being mean or gatekeepy. You are welcome here. Figure yourself out. Be "cringe" or whatever. You got a very brave little bird dog here to protect you against anyone who's being mean.

If you identify as an animal, no matter what else you do about it, you're a therian. Congrats.

i've been getting pretty fed up about this so i'm just gonna say it:

mental healthcare isn't a privilege or a luxury. it's actually *required* and it's often not pleasant. all the people saying "there's atrocities happening right now, you are unbelievably selfish for trying to stay afloat mentally" might as well be saying "you are unbelievably selfish for sleeping and eating right now." depriving yourself won't help anyone, it'll just mean there's more people paralyzed with fear and less people that can actually like. do anything. like protest or organize relief funds. things that actually, you know, *help* instead of performative bullshit.

if you need to go play a video game or refuse to post on social media, that's FINE. having a panic attack or worse instead does not help anyone. get yourself together, stay alive, and THEN figure out how you can help.

when you follow a creator just to see them reblog stuff you were avoiding:

[wikiangela]

sometimes it feels like some people don't even like eddie as his own character (same often goes for buck for that matter), they only exist for each other and with each other, and ppl bend over backwards, twisting all the words said in canon, trying to make all their individual storylines about each other. it's insane lol

let them be their own characters jfc, there's so much more to them than whatever you want their relationship to be😫
