someone who just rb’d my art was a m/m ship blog but was a girl
What, girls aren’t allowed to have m/m ships? They’re not allowed to make blogs for their favorite ships and reblog content for them? Fandom has historically been a female-dominated space and an opportunity for women to express themselves in a way that can’t easily be silenced. Guess what, claiming that you liking a ship is fine but girls liking it is bad is misogynistic af.
U kno wat, when I get on desktop tonight, I’m gonna revive my Vanven blog just to spite OP by not being a man and having a m/m ship blog bc fuck them.
Another example for the ‘Rabid Women-Haters of the Day: MRA / Incel OR Tumblrized Rainbow Regressive’ game. Honestly, we need a GIF / reaction image along the lines of ‘rubbing my dirty feeeemale hands all over your ~Precious Pure MLM Content~’ because at this point it’s the only way you can respond to this sort of garbage.
Bet OP never stopped to think about how by insisting m/m content is for mlm only they also reinforce the idea that het stories are for everybody. Go on making yourself so niche you get nothing. Could have jumped on having a wider audience to market to, to show the suits there really is money in representing you and getting your stories told. But nah, you’d rather spit on girls just like so many straight boys do.
reblog if you’re pro-shipping because all ideas can be safely explored in fiction so long as the audience is properly warned. anything can be shipped and it’s never a problem
“EXCEPT -“ no. listen. anything. literally any fucking thing
If you can’t find a place on your blog for Patrick Stewart in a bathtub dressed like a lobster, then your blog probably doesn’t deserve such majesty anyway.
It has returned to my dash and I cannot fight the compulsion to reblog…
the patrick lobster appears only once in a thousand years, reblog for good luck
I wonder where the break happened that such wide swaths of younger fans don’t grasp fandom things that used to be unspoken understandings. That fic readers are expected to know fiction from reality, that views expressed in fic are not necessarily those of the author, that the labels, tags and warnings on various kinkfics are also the indication that they were created for titillation and not much more, please use responsibly as per all pornography. The ‘problem’ isn’t that so-called ‘problematic’ fic exists but that some of the audience is being stupid, irresponsible, at worst criminal, at best not old enough to be in the audience to begin with. And that’s on the consumer, not the author who told you via labels, tags, ratings, warnings and venues what their fic was about and what it was for.
I can’t stress enough how important this post is
Probably because we stopped using disclaimers and assumed everyone already knew the unspoken rules.
Then a new generation cropped up (like they do) and were never told what the unspoken rules were. And now they’re freaking out because they were never educated in fandom decorum, and their elders are just yelling at them instead of telling them what they did wrong.
Disclaimers were usually of the “I don’t own, please don’t sue” variety, though. We didn’t bother stating that we didn’t condone such and such in real life, it was and still is a given because that’s how fiction works.
Besides, turns out the kids know exactly how tags work, they’re just trying to discredit fandom to outsiders in the hopes that moral outrage from outsiders will help them win their shipwars masquerading as a moral crusade.
I had a dog that was Alaskan Malamute/Grey Wolf and she went nuts for anything with pumpkin in it (including eating chunks of pumpkin when I carved it)
