/ffs/ - Fujo Fandom Sperging

>>8705
I'm sorry, nonas. I'll admit I'm a part of the Neutral Menace, but it's not because I think X/Y and Y/X are the same. I am fully aware they're different, and that's part of the fun. In one of my ships, I can't see either of them wanting to top, so I think they have to take turns. Alternatively, due to their personalities, it's very easy to see it working either way. In another case, I think one dynamic makes more sense, but it's the less popular dynamic, so I've had to learn to adapt and appreciate the opposing dynamic even though my preferred dynamic makes way more sense from a characterization standpoint for this ship. For this couple, I've learned why others see it the opposite way, and it's given me a new appreciation for the different ways they can be written. I think it depends a lot on how the characters are written, and as long as they're not OOC, I'm just happy to see my favorite characters together in any capacity lol.

>the order doesn't matter as long as they are in character
This is how I feel. I don't want the character on the bottom to suddenly lose all their competence and turn into a pile of uke jelly while the character topping becomes an asshole, I won't enjoy that no matter what the order is. I also find arbitrary 'rules' like who pursues and initiates actions first exhausting, stuff like this often gets tied to dynamic.
I'm currently into a ship that I genuinely see making the most sense as switching or taking turns and in my eyes, the hardline AxB and BxA have the wrong opinion :^) (not to mention that other people who don't care about dynamic usuallly do the best characterization and like the characters equally, meanwhile BxA people in particular are mostly just very horny for A and so want him to bottom, with B, my fave, being more of an afterthought. I don't think they're having deep thoughts about dynamic here, it's just 'fave guy takes it in the ass')

>>8707
Those people make my blood boil. They have such an holier than thou attitude and make shipping a fucking morality statement. I'd argue they're a subset of the neutral category

>>8708
NTA but your question sounds so disingenuous. Activism in the fandom sense, making posts how it's "realistic" and "not fetishistic" to make characters switch. All written smugly while making the strict shipping dynamic-fags seem like crazies who can't seem to be open-minded and have fallen prey to evil fetishistic mlm fetishizing, unlike them!
They sealion a lot too. "I'm just asking why it has to be like that?? I like switch so I don't get it! Explain!!"

>>8693
worse when you're a low traffic account.

I post hcs, au ideas and occasionally my bad drawings and think- oh wow, someone actually like my- oh it's just Emily Lace @a8nh81028n

They're unbearable on tumblr because the tags I search are often caught up in thirst trap alts

>>8694
I've gotten some of the "want to illustrate your fanfic" spam from ff.net on my fics from 2006! I wonder how many people they actually get? I imagine it costs next to nothing to run spam bots but there has to be a return on investment right?

>>8696
I have pms disabled on FFN, but they carried over to AO3. I got one on my guest comments allowed work but none of my moderated

and I turned them off on FFN specifically because all of my notifications were those bot alts

OP here.

Sorry. Firstly, I ended up getting a scholarship and going off to a nice place. Secondly, FC was down for a while.

That said, I finished Zeta with irl buddies, and FC wasn't missing out. There were a few episodes with gay, and a lot more without gay.

That said, I still want to watch more Gundam with y'alls. Currently considering CCA as the motherlode of homo, but I've also heard promising stuff about Seed and 00. Would also be up for a rewatch of the OG series.

To make things easier to plan, would people be ok with running this via a discord server, or would anons prefer full anon and just having it planned here?

>>8641
Discord - NOT EVEN ONCE

Just post your thoughts here. The series doesn't matter - I've seen most of Gundam.

Congrats on starting college nonna!

I prefer here personally the site you were using last time worked well.

lolcow is basically cheating at this point but holy kek. Imagine getting upset over fictional male sexualities ruining your fantasies.

>>8663
This is so fucking funny considering every time I see two female characters on social media there’s always himejoshis coming out of the woodwork to scream “YURI YURI LESBIANS THERES NO STRAIGHT EXPLANATION FOR THIS THEYRE LESBIANS” like there’s no tomorrow. I see less cope when it comes to yuri pairings too, since most normalfags look at a yaoi ship and still say it’s actually just friendship or that they’re brothers or some shit. Most of their complaints about fujos are just shit they do on a regular basis but it’s fine because muh purest form of love

>>8669
No, the reason why fujos are hated is specifically because it's inaccessible to men and women having a semblance of sexual autonomy i.e. a community made by them just for them makes men seethe like nothing else. That's where the "rotten woman" term comes from, they deem women too foul to marry out of spite simply because they're women expressing their sexuality in a way they don't find attractive.

>>8643
>Don't even get me starded on the retards who actually get bothered by viktor with cock and balls
Do people like this actually exist? Holy shit. That's just shipping het.

>>8655
if you ever confronted them about it they would just call it a joke but i can see the seething behind those words. Also a part of the fanbase hates bottom jayce because they refuse to see viktor having a cock (thus being masculine) and fucking jayce in the ass

>The studio ruined the mangaka's vision
People who say this most of the time have their own vision of the manga, which they pretend aligns with the mangaka.
I remember some sperg screeching at me about Japanese context and anime vs manga accuracy, so I talked with a native Japanese mutual that explained to me the context, and this person after being btfo just accused them of using chatgpt and not even being Japanese kek

>>8624
Both, amputees and other disabilities are also good

>>8625
Nice, I only like amputees if it's a single limb though, like they lost it in the war and now their soon to be husband needs to take care of them. Quad amputees are a bit too out there

>>8626
Quad gets really weird, I like amputees in a h/c way as well. Characters with othering conditions give feelings that make me want to protect and care for them.

https://x.com/hahaha3/status/1917860293998477396 This user made a chart on how doujin culture differs between men and women and it seems pretty interesting, like how the second to last point is about how women are more hesitant to earn a profit on their works while men will just set the price to whatever they want. I'm not confident enough about my japanese to make a translation of the chart so I'm presenting it as is.

>>8548
I remember seeing some controversy surrounding doujin culture between men and women (because of umamusu artist making profit off skeb and fantia and people going 'you deserve being punished!' 'this wouldn't happen in fujo circles!') and aren't nip fujos (yumes too) too unnecesarily autistic?
Like looking at the picture, I have no idea why uploading pics of your loot is considered a bad thing. This is common all the time for everything. Same with the autistic need to 'not gain any profit from doujins', male doujinka don't give a shit.
Is it really just the typical japanese commonality of being "humble" and "generous" forever even if it's completely unnecesary?

>>8558
It's femininity, making money is bad (=self-interested) you see
>I have no idea why uploading pics of your loot is considered a bad thing
Yeah it makes no sense. Posting loot is fun

i like when the guys are portrayed as straight or on the asexual spectrum until they meet the other guy, so no…
the idea of them being gay isn't attractive to me. but to be fair i don't like when they act too moidy in general so the turn off is not appliable just to them being homosexual. i guess i just want an unrealistic and idealized version of guys. it makes things more romantic and hot

It's all about gap moe and well-rounded personality for me. I don't want them to come off as girly but for the sake of making myself clear I should mention that I don't think of coomer behavior or macho when I say "manly". The real hotness comes from contrasts. Like a serious, honorable and sophisticated dude that values etiquette but then over-reacts or gets emotionally confused when things don't go his way or when his potential love interest approaches him. Or super serious tradition-loving guy that throws an autistic tantrum sometimes.
A bit like the cartoon villains from the past to be honest lol. Threatening at first but then they turn out to be naive and do dumb shit or throw a fit until their super loyal totally not gay sidekick calms them down. Or an allegedly unemotional scientist with hidden insecurities.

There is a lot. But them being outright feminine/boyish kills my enjoyment since cuteness and emotions should be the top on the ice cake not the defining trait everything else is based around. That aside it's just cute and hot af seeing some scary dude softening for a certain other dude. It hits very differently from a blushing insecure softie being lovely dovey. That aside I cannot even relate to those types. Like I don't self-insert or anything but I at least have to vaguely understand a character to like him and I can't with those male and female moe blobbs anime use to have.

Somewhat relatedly, Sex in the City is a good parallel to this thread, although there were a few female writers on the show. In the early seasons, the main writers were gay men, and they wrote these four women as gay men in various aspects, but especially in their sex lives. This is most evident with Samantha. In the original column, she is described as having various no-strings-attached short-term flings with various men. But in the show, she is essentially a hypersexual gay bottom who has to have sex every day and essentially has male orgasms.
