#why the hate?

[gauntletgirlie]

Hey lovely moots, followers, and anyone else who finds this blog post, I have a genuine question.

Why does it seem that so many people dislike or even openly hate female OCs in fanfiction? More than male OCs at that?

Until I stumbled upon Tumblr and the fanfic writing on here, I had no idea that people disliked female OCs so much, but they seem to get a lot of hate. To the point some people won’t even read a work if a female OC is included.

I 100% think you’re allowed to dislike what you want and not have to read what you don’t like, I’m just actually curious! I personally like many OCs, regardless of sex or gender. I’ve come across some not as well written ones, it’s true, but it doesn’t mean I think they’re all bad. There are some really well written ones too!

So yeah, just intrigued as to the shunning of female OCs.

some newbie questions I'm thinking about and trying to figure out~~ cause even though I've been a linux user off and on for a bit I still consider myself a newbie.

what is systemd? should I avoid it? why all the hate?

cause "it doesn't follow the unix philosophy/is bloated/etc"

should I find a distribution that doesn't use it and install it and give it a whirl?

or should I try to install freebsd and give that a shot? I've thought about that for a while too but worry I'm not smart enough to get it to work....

and scared I'll break something and not be able to fix it~~ :(

anxiety go brrr

surely there are linux distributions that don't use systemd~~ and hopefully they're just as easy to use as linux mint~~ but I've also tangled w fedora way back when..... so hopefully I'll get a handle on stuff and normalize it fast~~~

down the unix/linux/bsd rabbit hole~~~ lol

a very sleepy post

For real though... Let people ship and enjoy whatever they like. Why all the hate?

You like Kataang? Good for you!

You prefer Zutara? Go ahead, enjoy!

You like Zukka? Tyzula? Anything else? Way to go, have fun!

It's that easy.

You are too old to be acting this childish. Like you got a kid as well, poor bastard 😬

You’re too childish to be sending me an anonymous message, how about you directly message me. You don’t know my age or anything about me. And poor bastard? I’m married to father of my son lol and I am employed full time. Come off anon, say it with your chest. Why are you hiding? If all you do is spew hate, I’ll pray for you 🙏🏾

Me and the mutual I pulled by being actually I have no idea why they followed me but I'm glad they did

[strongintherealgay]

You don't have to like weed but I find people who are vehemently anti-weed but claim to be left leaning infuriating. If you go into a rage because you smelled someone smoking pot, how the fuck do you expect to form community with people addicted to meth? It's easier to say you hate smokers than to say you hate all drug users in leftist spaces because one makes you sound a bit like a square while the other is the writing on the wall. You aren't anti-weed, you're anti-drug user and anyone who uses substances is not safe around you.

EDIT: Glad to see this post take off. Ironically I've not been able to smoke for almost 4 months because of an injury that landed me in a nursing home. Please help me keep the apartment I am trying to get well enough to move back to.

What

[tinkerbitch69]

Are they ‘trauma dumping’ or are they just discussing their life experience and you are such an asshole that you can’t stand to be confronted with information that makes you uncomfortable for 0.005 seconds???

One thing about mutuals is that they will get into the most random ass media

[lun4r-l1br4]

Okay… like…. How about how Rick & Morty do multi-verse themes? They’re full of cringe and there’s that fiasco about the voice actor being an abuser. Yet, I never see it get this level OC hate for simply existing 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

so i saw this post on twitter and the qrts are a special kind of hell

It's genuinely so fucked up that someone sayong "hey these two works have similar themes and story you might enjoy it" is met with an honestly insane amounts of hate and wild claims about it when they havent even read it. this has over 300 quote retweets and a lot are worse than what i put here.

This fucking sucks honestly.

ON the subject of undernegotiated kink in fanfiction. i think we should talk more about how the concept of "not talking about it" is just as much wish fulfillment for some people as "in-depth, therapy-speak conversations where everyone is clear and understood" is for others

like yes, in reality the antidote to shame is open honest conversation with someone who will validate your feelings and wants blah blah blah but SOMETIMES what i want out of my fanfic is characters being understood without having to expose themselves in that way. SOMETIMES it's fun to not dismantle the shame and repression all the way and to instead treat that understanding-despite-not-being-clear as the fantasy
