/ffs/ - Fujo Fandom Sperging

I actually picked the series up for him. Though it was mostly for the face. Never read an Asada manga before.

>>7648
I hate it too. I know a lot of people probably like that he’s unique, but I can’t help thinking about my dad when I see those balding hairstyles and I don’t wanna think about my dad in BL.

>>7658
kek this is how I feel about Sadamune from elusive samurai. I even think he's handsome when he isn't emotional for a second, but I cannot be attracted to him in any way, he looks too much like my father lmao
The dude from Sleeping Dead actually reminds me of a friend I had who looked the same in his mid twenties.

I've been looking through my old pixiv folder back when I saved everything and the variety of art was so different. Emulating the creator's style, putting characters in literally every situation you could think of. There was so much effort to make art that fed fandoms for years. Even fanfiction back when I was in high school was full of coffee shop AUs (popular mainly because they're as approachable as a kitten and you don't actually need to know how retail works to write it) there were still some insane epics. And I mean it in the classical literary sense. I still remember a KH fic with an edgy take on Sora (named skye lul) who came from a dark future in the KH universe and they had to work together to beat Maleficent. By GOLLY was it likely bad and I will not even try to find it again but I just remember how much fun I had with their realistic takes on Mulan if she locked the fuck in and other Disney characters acting time period appropriate in their response to war time.

I miss that type of fanfic. Now everything's that headcanon readerinsert slop.

>>7655
Yes this is what I mean!
I see many fujos (including myself) complaining about short-lived fandoms that disperse the second the series or pairing stops getting new canon content and I am sure it's less about ADHD or having more series to watch/read but creativity.
Back in the old days a fandom could last a decade after the series ended and you would still get new fan-created developments, What-IF routes, future stories, true AUs and a ton of other things.

The canon was just the big bang that gave birth to a new world that fans filled with life afterwards. I am not sure why this is largely gone now. Back when I was into Mass Effect fans wrote whole epics about the post-game events or backstories of characters before the story took place. Two friends I had cross-referenced each others fics and created a whole life story of two characters together. In the end they had like 60 fics or more and I was hyped everytime one of them would release a new hint or short-story to learn more about the events in their life I was still in the dark about. ALL of this without resorting to true SoL. It always implemented their special OPs missions, the military or their private and mental issues in a way.

This is just an example. Those two characters weren't even mains. One of them had two scenes before he died right at the start of the game.

R/AO3 can be a little obnoxious at times but I do like threads like these:

Because I can get a glimpse of the state of things in fandoms I otherwise would never have glanced at. It's pretty fascinating to look through. Especially the ones like picrel where they go on about a specific incarnation of a character that ultimately lead to a sort of spiral downward.

>>7608
Some of these fics would never exist if they'd at least read one spiderman comic .

>>7636
This!

The MCU has done a lot of harm to Peter's perception. Before that there was always the issue of a lot of Spider media leaning way to far into High School BS and having the character age only to keep reverting him, but at least the core elements are relatively consistent.

Peter is young and cocky, but also forced to grow up too fast due to dead caketakers, he is also usually works alone and is smart and strong enough to solve most issues with a few rotating confidants and other NY heros. Everything the MCU brought to the table with Tony Stark just ruins the core appeal of the character and makes him less relatable. With old characters like this people can of course try new things, but imo MCU Peter might as well be a different hero and doesn't have the same appeal at all.

>>7603
Yeah men have to draw mauled children being raped in order to be punished while women can just draw two normal men kissing and get their asses detained.

>>7594
I do like hetshit but hetshitters pretending their hetslop is super feminist aren't doing feminism any favors. If they said they simply wanted more het ships in fanart they could've gone with that. But instead, they rather self-flagellate over ebil fujos turning their husbands into shit eating faggots.
not my fault that most canon het ships are garbage.
> I remember that one middle aged radfem who even made a fucking video about the topic.
I forgot her name but everything about that vid felt so painfully wrong that you can't help but feel sorry for her. She's old and might've never engaged with fandom culture until you realize fandom stuff went way way back way before I was born.
>>7606
It's making me ever more scared if trump might do the same for us Americans? I wouldn't put it past him given the cult he amass that hates anything anti-white, male, and straight.

>>7637
>It's making me ever more scared if trump might do the same for us Americans?
I agree this sucks, but if we act like SJWs who set unrealistic goals, it will lead to us not being taken seriously. The most likely path is that porn and erotica will be banned, but anything to do with "LGBT" will be dealt with more severely and you can be fined for hosting "porn" sites. But we'll undoubtedly be seeingg free speech activists protesting this, which is the side we might end up having to side with, for better or for worse

>>7624
I didn't even know you could write sentences on titcock. I never had any interest in that site and the fact that everything has to be video based is so fucking stupid IMO.
It reminds me of instasgram where people post crappy images with fat white font on black background to make a textposts instead of just using a place that allows text to post their thoughts.

>>7627
So you hate youtube then?

>>7628
I use it to find niche music. The thing is that people don't use yt exclusively, they don't make a short video to say a single sentence or some shit which is stupid. They either post it as comment I assume or go somewhere else.
That said I never cared about reviews and opinion videos since I couldn't care less what generic retards have to say about everything, but it's good for music and amateur cartoons IMO. Something you cannot do with tiktok since it's short-video shit

I love violence. I loved the first volume of Sneaky Red. I want to draw men getting beat on and crying and hurt. Reading about it turns me on so bad, and I love the way the author of that draws the bruises just right. I wish she would do more manga on the same subject, but oh well haha

Overpowered monster x human or the other way around has always been my fetish but I just saw this screencap going around and hnnngg

>>7611
Same nonna same king kong and the ang lee hulk movie changed me as a kid

>>7575
she's literally me fr

Since you posted Zelos, I really love Zelos.

He's visually very girly. Long hair, pink and is very cute at a glance. But his character is so rich in trauma and shipping fuel he's been at the top of my tales of shipping charts since I played. Symphonia OVA really made him shine in the fight between he and Regal. And I know if the game was released within the last 4 years as a new title, he'd be transwashed the most.

>>7555
NTAYRT but I also love Zelos, he's probably one of my favourite characters ever. His character is so well written and I seriously hate how the fandom flanderized him into just a dumb playboy when he's drenched in tragedy and trauma.

>>7553
I stg these people overanalyze gender more than people from the 50's.
>this physically weak male character is TRANS and ill say he needs to get pregnant 200x a week while suggesting he's very submissive, GET IT? isn't that so gender?!
it's not that deep stfu aiden
>>7555
AYRT symphonia is such a comfy game with a rich world and characters. I'm very glad I played it. Zelos was so funny and well-written and made me smile throughout my playthrough. I also loved Lloyd and Genius and Colette and Rain and entire cast really. The aesthetics and character designs were on-point.

Soriku is a yaoi staple anon, it will find you. soon.

>>7382
>>7385
Okay but Sora is generally agreed to be uke right?

>>7425
Yes, I’m not even a kingdom hearts fan and I know that.
