/ffs/ - Fujo Fandom Sperging

>>7871
Fanservice design being hard to overlook is so annoying, especially in shonen. But I get the feeling that these fanservice designs are enforced sometimes - like Bishamon in Noragami is introduced in a bikini outfit and then the authors (who are both women) gradually stop using it and show her more often in a suit. Then they actually 'kill off' the outfit (it makes sense in context, the outfit is a character who turns into clothes) so it can never actually appear again.
The Kimetsu author is also supposedly female and the vibe I got from the extra comic about Mitsuri's outfit was 'I'm writing this to complain about my shitty male editor', but hey, I could be totally wrong.
>If the character design appeals to me, I’ll end up liking the character (male or female) even if they are badly written because I do think they have potential simply because their design is nice.
This is how I work too, unless a girl just turns out to be a love interest.

Same, I genuinely like Kemono Friends season 1. Now that's a world where female characters just exist, don't think too hard about it.

>>7872
Sorta of agree nonna but I think often times needing to get rid of men just to make female characters shine feels kinda depressing. I sometimes wish there was shows where men and women coexisted without devolving into love drama (doesn't stop the fans from shipping them but that's how most ships got their start).

i watched the kirby anime when i was like 11 and i ended up shipping dedede and escargon so hard lmao

>>7664
I used to ship them too! It's a shame Escargoon never got to appear in any other Kirby media to my knowledge. The villain/sidekick dynamic is always great and I especially like the contrast of pompous and jaded.

I was 11-12 years old and had just discovered Saint Seiya, one day I was searching something about Shun (my favorite character) and discovered also what fanfictions were.
I thought It was so cool to read stories made by other people about the things I also enjoyed and then… Some descriptions and cover images caught my eye, featuring men having relationships with other men.
I remember I didn't quite admited to myself I enjoyed It, suddenly, I was obsessing with searching things that would led to yaoi in a cryptic way, like searching for fanart about certain characters that were popular with fujos (because then yaoi pairings would also appear).

>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

>>7643
TFW I recall siding with free speech activism in the first damn place as an OG fujo in the early 2000's

>>7643
I don't mind certain types of porn getting banned. Lord knows numerous exploited kinkslop pervading these sites but I also believe we should go all or nothing on the topic of human sexuality. It's a constant for most of us and seeing so many countries scrutinize those outside the norm fills me with such rage that can't tamed. I hate it here.
And you know what's fucked? some "radfems" are complacent with this while their ssa sisters are getting dragged in the streets all over trannies turning the kids "gay".

>>7670
why they talk like that? why is talking like you have a age regression fetish somehow cool now

>>7686
whats up with gege writing bum characters that hoe themselves out to women for money kekk if i had a coin for everytime that happened Id have 2 coins.

>>7697
Maybe that was Gege's dream career, who knows at this point?

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.

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.

>>7406
All of what I've seen lately has been in the same vein–het or f/f people fruitlessly trying to quash m/m through shame. The most amusing instance of this has been people acting like Sephiroth/Cloud is some new shit only freaks like and not a nearly thirty year old fujo staple. It's about as old as Spock/Kirk was when I first started getting into fandom!

>>7402
I can only think of cases where a gay pairing is disliked by people who ship one of the guys with a female character. On top of my head, I sometimes see JJK fans on my tl on twitter who ship either Gojo/Geto or Geto/Gojo arguing with Gojo/Utahime shippers because these ones like to start shit with them, allegedly at least. The people involved are mostly female fans, but sometimes I see male shonentards arguing that the main character of their favorite series has to end with the "heroine" of the series, so they were shitting all over bakudeku fans even more than usual because of the epilogue, but on the other hand they've been coping hardcore over JJK so they're delusional and saying things about how Megumi/Hana or Yuji/literal who from his class in middle school are canon. There's also whatever happened with the second season of Arcane but I have no context since I haven't watched the show, but it's another case of a gay pairing and a straight pairing involving the same guy so fans are arguing. I really can't think of recent gay ship wars.

>>7402
I expected my fandom to turn into a ship war after half of our ship got NTR'ed by a third man who is now together with the other half but I guess we're all just dirty fujos so we ended up shipping both at the same time, making threesomes or focus on one of the two ships but enjoy art with the respective other regardless.

High chance I wouldn't notice if there is a ship war anywhere, though. Believe it or not, I MISSED the Voltron ship war back then and only know it from complaints people have made years later, even though I was active in those years. Was obsessed with a game related ship and didn't notice anything else.

Japanese artists tend to be paranoid about their privacy/anonymity and dissemination of their work. We all know that they sperg out about reposting art and fujos probably more so because they’re used to getting hate for being fujo/female otaku. Japanese artists will usually dedicate an account to one fandom /pairing/character and abandon the account or priv/delete when they lose interest to minimise their digital trail and make it harder to trace back to an actual person. They also act paranoid about foreigners, one time a gonkillu artist blew up and started getting harassed by American shounentards telling her to kill herself and she went private, so I kind of understand it, but it’s annoying RIP to all the good art lost thanks to schizos

>>6859
No he's the JP equivalent of the gay stereotypical flamboyant man who uses female pronouns to refer to himself. I think the EN wiki is wishy-washy on him but there is no doubt he's just supposed to be gay.

>>6667
>>6666
Thank you, this is really useful. Also, kiriban get. How do I write 'Anti anti' and 'anti AI' in JP? Like, what is the common term?

>>6669
>Anti anti
I doubt you'd need this, proship/anti stuff doesn't really exist on JP side so they'd probably assume you're not an anti in the first place if you're chill. For AI I've seen JP users put "No AI" or AI with the X/stop emoji

>>6669
Personally I used the stop emoji before these things. Namely because I saw others doing it lol.
Maybe anti isn't needed as >>6670 says but don't speak Japanese well so I also use English and I made the experience that a few fans grew vary of me when they found me but calmed down and followed after they learned that I accept all form of shippings in fanart. I later added the sign in the bio just to be sure, since some of them made had experiences with antis it seems. But if you only post in JP to begin with you don't need it. But add the fujo sign.
Technically saying that you're fujo should already include that you are against anti.

My bad. Been years and my memory of spelling is mostly from bad translations and middle school memories.

I think Wrio/Lyney is interesting and pretty hot. It's good for hatesex at least.

>>6639
>Wrio/Lyney
It had no business to be so intense I almost hated Wrio until reveal, damn that thug enjoyed mind torturing Lyney
