Another maxing, another part! How are you liking the latest strips? I'm still hoping for news of more dolls (France? Canada? China? ... France?)--anything you're hoping for? I hope your summer (or what season it may be) is fun!

Enjoy part 365!

i have a respect for the language but never felt capable of trying to teach myself. now i wish i'd tried so i could lurk the japanese side of fandom. it's surreal going from seeing their stress-free experiences on pixiv/twitter, to tumblr where rants are being posted in the shiptags every day and everyone has to be armed and shielded to participate in the fandom

yeah and if you like the ~problematic~ kinks and pairings (as i definitely do), jfen produce and post a lot more of it than wfen. i mean i'm sure they have their own kinds of shipwars and shit (i've heard topping/bottoming order is A Big Deal) but as far as i'm aware those still boil down to the old style of fandom wank, e.g. "what you like is stupid, and you're stupid, wehhhh", versus the new and much, much more toxic "what you like is problematic, and you're problematic, wehhhh"

yeah, i've gravitated towards siblings pairings since i was a kid so i feel you (and am intrigued by the possibility of that possible ship in whatever fandom it is you mentioned, haha.) idgaf about the shipwars because they're stupid but they're harmless, which is the important part. i hate that i have to worry for people who create content in wfen. a few months ago i saw people mentioning a norice artist getting piled on because it's not enough that the artist just stays in their own lane, no, the angry mob has to run them out of tumblr town! i hope they weren't scared away but i sadly doubt it...

one of my favorite amecan artists quit and i wonder if it was due to anti-fan pressure as well (she also had a thing for shota or age diff AUs and i'd seen her reply to some angry anons about that).

part of me wishes that creators would be stronger against this stuff, part of me thinks 'god, then just don't respond, and don't capitulate, why be so weak to others' influence? why give up? every time someone prominent kowtows to this bullshit, the bullshit gets stronger.'

but that's not really a fair way to look at it at all. people shouldn't be expected as the norm to bear with this unreasonable wave of hostility from fandom just for doing their thing. it is the responsibility of people who don't like x to avoid it, not the responsibility of people who do like x to deal with being bullied for it.

and who wants to give their time and effort to fandom if fandom's just a bunch of nasty bossy brats anyway.

the fandom i'm speaking of is mob psycho 100, by the way. it's really good. and knock on wood but right now the tumblr tag is still in the honeymoon phase where it's not that fast-moving but everything is positive and people aren't lecturing each other on dumb shit yet. however there is also not much in the way of smut, if you want the good stuff you'll need to check pixiv.
