>>10806I had a friend who would regularly donate to a vtuber but would get mad at people who donated at times when the group at large wasn't donating
I don't get why you'd donate to random moids to begin with kek, it's not like they're providing a service. Honestly as far as otaku circles go I understand the appeal of vtubers the least.
No.10809
>>10806To me it's strange how they're like idols lite with those specific companies and get marketed like characters. RPF shipping and youtuber merch are absolutely nothing new but for Pewdiepie and Markiplier it's more like 'buy my Tshirt' than 'buy my nendoroid'.
Maybe the corporate stuff is more necessary for Japanese letsplayers due to the illegality of emulation? I understand that they have to get permission from the actual companies and use their software for stuff like DS emulation.
No.10812
>>10806>>10807>>10809As someone that follows a few vtubers (mostly on the japanese side), I understand people who are put off by the idea as there's a real person behind them after all, but I just treat them the same as I would any actual 2D character. Most of the shipping content is hidden behind locked accounts, but having a more private community like that means there's gonna be less drama. I've never been into kpop/idols/rpf in general, so the deciding factor here is mostly them being not too different from anime characters (to me personally). They constantly put out new content, the 3D stuff they get to do is really cool, and the community(both individually and for shipping) is pretty active so I'd say those are the main appeals of the whole thing for me.
I never actually donated though, but I have bought both official and fanmade merch, the same as I would do for a game/anime character or ship I liked.
No.10813
>>10806It takes actual effort to rein in how much I hate vtubers when they come up in casual conversation and I cry every time I have to Ol' Yeller an objectively good artist because they got into some dipshit I will never ever care about. I actually consider them worse than IRL streamers because while they are both parasocial cancer at least the IRL ones don't often leak into the online spaces I occupy.
>>10807>Honestly as far as otaku circles go I understand the appeal of vtubers the least.I have no idea how they can do it given what I have witnessed in the last 20 years of being a weeaboo online. To be extremely ungenerous: that is a 3DPD woman behind their UOHHHHH who is taking their attention/money/time and almost assuredly fucking somebody else. Why delude themselves?
Also it should go without saying that I am malding levels of jealous of the successful ones haha. (￣▽￣*)ゞ
No.10814
>>10812I like the idea of having a 3D avatar instead of seeing someone's actual face (I still miss the days of letsplayers who didn't have a facecam) but the rest of it is too offputting to me. However I'm already not a RPF fujo and never understood the Youtuber shipping fandom, so…
Then there's the fact that vtubers 'graduate' just like idols. Your fave character could just vanish one day.
No.10815
>>10814I just don't get what people are invested in, like I'm not a big RPF fan either, but if someone is shipping a president, serial killer, or military guy I can at least see the plot and drama building blocks. Vtubers are non-characters to me they don't do anything besides play video games! I didn't get pewdiecry either and this is just thst but way more prevalent.
No.10816
>>10815Maybe there's collabs going on? Or people ship vtubers in the same company? But yeah I don't get it either, it's just a person playing video games. Maybe it's like the no-interaction ships where you mash together your two faves and create their entire story yourself.
No.10828
>>10812>but I just treat them the same as I would any actual 2D character. This is something I don't get personally. I still see them as the people behind the avatar. Most of them don't even try to pull a character but just act as themselves, if they did I would probably be capable of suspending my disbelief but a lot of them are just another guy online with a janky 3D avatar constantly opening its mouth like a fish. I just hear a disembodied voice belonging to a person behind the screen.
No.10829
>>10828I feel the same. Even when they lean into the character of their model, it still feels like some random person rather than a voice actor playing a role. The gap is too big for me, and most vtubers are not actually entertaining as streamers either imo.
No.10831
>>10815>they don't do anything besides play video games! This isn't really true nowadays, a lot of the popular vtubers now are more like a mix of an idol and a streamer and their activities are pretty varied. Even if you're not into their stream content, they also do 3D content, release music, have 3D lives/concerts, sometimes participate in bigger events, etc. If they just played games all day with a moving anime avatar that probably wouldn't be enough to keep me interested either.
>>10816As far as shipping goes, yeah there's collabs and basically people tend to ship vtubers who are a part of the same group/unit or the ones who are just generally close friends and collab/do stuff together often. In jp spaces it's treated as '2.5D' shipping rather than full on RPF because the focus is put on their characters interacting, rather than the people behind them, if that makes sense.
>>10828Some of them (definitely not all) do a convincing enough act for me, I guess it also helps that I avoid looking at anything related to their
irl, the only thing relevant to me is what they actually say on stream.
At the end of the day, I do still consider vtubers (and especially shipping them) a bit of a niche so I try not to bring it up too much in fujo discussions, I get that it's not for everyone.
No.10832
>I love character because (shit that has nothing to do with their actual canon, changed their name to fit the person's nationality, changed their skin color or hair color, changed their gender and shit they made up that isn't the character anymore but just straight up an OC)
why are people like this
worse part is that you can't talk about a character objectively with these kinds of people because they think their OCfied version is "good" even though it's just not the character anymore
No.10833
>>10832They're too afraid of being perceived as cringe and also fear the loss of the community and clout if they just made their own OCs so they'd rather turn actual characters into their OCs.
No.10834
>>10832I'm in a magical boy fandom and there's some user who's decided to ship the different transformations of one character together. It's not unusual in the fandom to draw art where they're separate people and behave a bit differently, but this person is writing shitloads of "AU lore" and shipping stories about them being totally different people, and because they need
more they're including ANY costume change at all. So that one time he wore a pink hat? Yeah that's a new character with a different personality. Great.
I didn't think much of it at first, it seemed like lighthearted jokes just like anyone else makes, but now I keep getting this urge to go "IT'S THE SAME FUCKING GUY. PEOPLE ARE MULTIFACETED!"
Please kids, you do not need to mold a personality around being The (Character) Guy in the group. If shipping your fave with other characters in the series is difficult, you can just not ship. We don't need a spinoff series that eliminates every other character.
No.10835
>>10834What is this, the revival of the Onceler?
No.10837
>>10834Not as bad as your example, but I'm in a fandom where a large portion of the fans of my OTP ship crossover versions of them with each other, including selfcest. The anime/manga/game versions of them are considered separate characters (which to be fair they all have different personalities, but the designs are otherwise the same, aside from art style)
You might think on paper that you could do something interesting with having a character meet a version of themself from another universe with a different personality… but I have never seen anyone actually do something interesting with this concept. It's always just bland porn or equally bland plotless fluff with all versions of the characters living together as roommates. It seems like a universe of pure crystallized fanon too thick for me to get my head around. And this stuff makes up a good portion of my OTP's fan work, to the point where I could see a random fan art that looks nice except whoops, the artist said it's Anime A x Manga B or something, when I only give a shit shipping the characters from the same universe.

No.11586
>>10806If the person behind the vtuber remains professional, and is responsible and creative it's a pretty fun investment to people. It's hard to explain but being involved in vtuber fandom where everyone is writing, drawing fanart, cosplaying, and watching streams together is a different kind of high.
I got out of the vtuber bubble because the last moid vtuber I liked was a menhera and it was actively stressful to watch him kek. I'm sure he still has a desperate group of fangirls still clinging onto him.
No.11764
>>9888I fucking hate 4chan/v/ so much.
So I play some games and I ship and enjoy fanart of a lot of video game boys. Thus I checked on that board and holy crap it’s just everything that I hate about moids but 200x.
All over the catalog there’s p*dophilia, over-sexualized female characters, racism, and just the most off-putting threads in general. Everyone there is a neckbeard and at least half of them are transsexuals to boot. Only boards that I go to somewhat regularly on 4chan (and they’re still shit most of the times) are /cm/ for the cute boys, /y/ when im feeling freaky, /vg/ for the TCOAAL generals, /an/ because I love animals, /ck/ because I like to cook, and sometimes /a/ but ill loose interest quickly because most threads are for yuri or het series.
No.11765
>>11764The best threads on /v/ are the ones where they post rat GIFs.
No.11770
Not fujo specific but I kinda fucking hate when people complain a medium has gone to shit. It's wlrst with movies because the people bitching only watch capeshit and blockbusters, but it happens with anime and video games as well. If you aren't enjoying the mainstream trash why not try and indie game or watch a show from a subgenre you haven't tried before?
I don't know, endless bitching just annoys me and so much good stuff is ignored everyday. I find it upsetting to see people denounce the entire modern media landscape because they refuses to look beyond the most popular thing in the room.
No.11775
I complained about /v/ even though it wasn’t really related to fujo fandom so I’ll make up for it by complaining about /y/.
So firstly I don’t know how gays find bara or bad western art attractive. What is the appeal? And there’s just so many threads of it on /y/ but if you make a thread for anything else there’s always some bara fags that attempt to derail your thread. Very annoying.
Also AI slop is bound to be in every thread so you have to say “no AI” in the OP and if you forget your thread is ruined.
One positive thing about /y/ is that a thread is rarely just an image dump and by that I meant anons talk about what they like and why they like it.
No.11779
>>11778>used to be in the mid 2000sGod I miss mid00s /y/. Sometime between 2012 and 2016 I blinked and it was 99% misogynist gay dudes who hated talking about shipping and even the source material itself.
No.11781
>>11778In the late 00s people moved to the bara board on anonib because there was already too much drama in /y/ threads. That board was a miracle by today's standards: everyone understood users could be women or gay men, and nobody fought over it, just put things in the right board and thread for what they wanted. I guess we were all so reliant on each other sharing art that nobody looked a gift horse in the mouth (that, and the kind of furries who were around back then were frankly gentlemen about it, the furries on 4chan now are ERPing dipshits who just want to hook up). There were arguments about whether characters were buff enough, but I don't remember them being the kind of hostility you see now. When a board's active enough nobody fears one type of content overtaking the rest.
I haven't dared look at /y/ in a long time, but I won't be surprised if one of the barafags you're thinking of is the one who makes bait threads on /a/ accusing women on racism and whatever else. He only likes stylized hyper muscle art with 2' thick necks, and very specific characters from Shounen Jump titles. Has said some dumb shit about not really caring about anything but the looks and the whole my taste > all women who could never.

Every time I've visted /y/ it's just been ugly misogyny-free 3D and Bara but I haven't used the site since like 2017. This is literally the only chan I use and if it dies I think I'm at the point in my life where I'm done with them. I just hate chan culture and the kind of constant negativity it brews.
No.11786

Chan culture scared me out of ever drawfagging and even making requests. Chan servers scared me into realizing asking for trades is selfish and greedy.

No.11820
>>11788>I think chan culture is on the declineAre you sure about that? Because I sure as fuck see Chan culture fucking everywhere by people who have never stepped on a chan or don't even know what the origin of that chan meme they keep spouting is about.
Like how you see soyjacks everywhere for every little thing, people using > in general when talking about something, saying xslop (it's originally goyslop and came from /pol/), safewashing words like normalfag into normie and other xfag denominator into something more pallatable like "dudebros/waifubros" to not say waifufag, etc.
People like chan culture but they don't want to compromise their PC safe space by saying retard or even fag
No.11824
>>11820chan culture and slang gets routed into more normal spaces on the internet because that's how language works. "retard" is already coming back into common vernacular anyway, to the point where i've seen some people make posts about how if you say it, they won't associate with you.
No.11828
>>11819Similar, I quit writing for a very long time because "fanfic is for subhumans," but I kept drawing for other people and only other people. I experienced a fair amount of happiness from the responses I got drawing requests, but I never had time to draw what I liked, always felt like I wasn't getting things in-character, and nobody would ever draw what I wanted even in trades. Then I found myself being talked into drawing complicated things for people who always feigned concern for my health and followed me around social media, and I never felt like I could tell anyone what was happening because it'd be taken as deliberate shit stirring. It left a horrible taste in my mouth but I finally decided to draw and write whatever gay shit I want.
I think the weirdest part was that something like six years after I left a general I looked in to see what people thought of a new entry, and found someone diagnosing me with a personality disorder I had never heard of before. I've forgotten what it's called but it was "narcissistic personality disorder where they pretend they're not narcissistic so they don't appear narcissistic on the surface on they might not be aware of their own narcissism." It haunted me for a while because who the fuck was still thinking about me that many years later, that's creepy. I hope they don't see me posting boys kissing on twitter and go "it's (drawfag name)!" Fuck.
What I meant to say is there's a slice of chan culture I have always liked, the positive stuff, the one liner jokes people make together, the chain quotations. Seasonal threads are still good for that. The side where people start recognizing each other and policing their every move? Hell with a bow on top and glitter that gets stuck under your nails and keeps coming back. Yeuck.

Fujochan is currently the only place I know of with natural filters that leave me with anons I'd be happy to chat with, like how pre-2010s 4chan used to be.
No.11839
Its so fucked how /u/ is in the files but twitter wants to pretend that anime yuri culture is only for lesbians by lesbians and that not perverted straight men would ever be into it. There's a reason why none of the popular yuri involves any adults who actually look and sound like grown women and not squeaky voiced little girls. Now all they say is not to judge yuri fans based on it but they would never do the same if its fujo culture. Fujo culture is the only thing that guaranteed repels moids but people hate fujos and never let fujos live down one fanfic where a guy cheats on his canon wife, but don't judge all the himejoshis based on /u/. It's hypocrisy.

No.11868
>>11820>>11830Chan slang/memes osmosing into the mainstream does not necessarily mean chan culture is thriving. 4chan has been a source of internet memes/slang ever since the 2000s; like
>>11824 described it’s just how language works. The anonymity of 4chan naturally resulted in users developing their own distinct vernacular and memes, a home grown culture the rest of the internet borrowed from.
However, 4chan now is a mere shadow of its past self. Like the anons above discussed /cm/ and /y/ are barely useable, with the same users spamming the board. Lolcow.farm is nigh unusable and the user base is insufferable, hence part of why fujochan exists. Crystal.cafe is dead and full of troons. Any attempt to move to an altchan is futile since those sites only have a fraction of the traffic of the aforementioned chans (whose distinct user base is already on the decline). And this is before you consider dead internet theory.
Even if chans get new users, they will be part of the generation that did not grow up on the same internet etiquette as the pre-2010s internet. Lurk before posting, not your personal army, don’t fall for bait, don’t power level: those and others were basic tenets of self-moderation that made imageboard users pleasant to interact with. Having gone down the /cgl/ -> SR -> LCF -> CC/Fujochan/etc route, I don’t feel so optimistic about the fate of imageboards

No.11876
>>11872>>11874Disagree. Mods taking a backseat and refusing to punish shit-stirrers and stubborn newfags is exactly what leads to the decline of an ib. I mean, why would they bother to integrate or leave the site when the biggest consecuence they'll face is 10 anons bitching at them.
No.11878
>>11875>>11876In theory this sounds like a solution but IMO you will be at the mercy of the mods, and that’s a coin flip. Being an IB mod is a thankless job and the nature of the job tends to attract certain personalities by default (chronically online types).

I don't mind genderbends occasionally, as long as you are very well aware and sure that you are truly making a explicit genderbend that you will treat as "yuri".
I can take sometimes calling a ship of two extremely effeminate looking guys "Yuri" occasionally as a tongue in cheek joke.
But it does genuinely bother me when there's people who do NOTHING but ""Yuri"" of that ship. Like, they have completely abandoned looking at them as men. In the rare cases they're a fanartist, they have to mention that "they're drawn with the intention of being women" even though they are still very much men.
You like a BL pair, you're shipping men, you like men.
You can joke that it's "so yuri" but it's literally not yuri. You are shipping two men.
They don't even bother calling it a genderbend (god forbid) and if they draw a 'genderbend' it's the most woke type of genderbend possible (vitiligo, strech marks, floppy saggy tits, freckles in body, blackfication).
Like WHY is it so hard for you to just make some OCs if you're going to completely butcher the characters?

I just hate genderbends either way, whether it turns a BL pairing het or yuri. I roll my eyes whenever artists do this shit and I'm not always able to mute a term for it.
No.12066
>>12063Same. It's barely ever done right either, which makes it so bad.
The thing is that people (including performative wokes) think just super misogynist or fetishizing when it's about women so it's never actually "genderbending" and rather about turning Guts into a horny femme fatale or a cute, smiling innocent moe blob (with huge blade, so that you know it's still "Guts").
They never keep the personality, because feminization equals fetishization, horniness, weakness, naivety and optimism to them. Like, I admit there are some very rare cases of (usually Japanese or Chinese) fans that do it right, but 99% of m -> f genderbending is just pornification or moefication which is both something you expect an otaku incel to do but not a woman that claims to be fan of a male pairing.

Why the fuck are the homo threads on /a/ always trying force hetshit and bisexual shit and "your male fave is fucking women"? Every single place is like this now.

hot/sexy female character in BL has her own little lesbian story going on that we catch glimpses of but don't quite get the whole story of it. I also think it can be nice when the MC's bff is a girl because a lot of non-misogynistic gay men actually do have close female friends and it does add some realism to story. All that said, I don't mind when BL has good, rounded supporting female characters but I don't really lose much enjoyment if the female characters are just strictly background fillers.

a twin sister who looks exactly like the LI but is super slutty and is dating an actual loli..
Maybe I have bad luck but I've seen this so often in BL, even when there are no major female characters the author adds a random scene where a background character girl tries to seduce the MC or steal his man or some shit (one of my least favourite tropes in BL).
>>12084Idk I've seen this a lot in older BL too and it doesn't feel like the author is trying to be woke or anything.
No.12093
>>12090I mainly referring to the recent push to make female characters in BL more prominent, sometimes eroding the lines between BL and het or whatever genre these people are looking for. Anyone that dissents is instantly called a misogynist or apparently doesn't know that bisexuality exists. If I wanted to read a story where the woman has an actual chance with the male love interest compared to the other man, I'd read queer shit or just a het novel. I blame this push on self-inserting.

What's the motive there, because I don't think it's coming from outside, they tend to sound like the crumbsfags. On the topic of crumbsfags, I saw a tweet spouting the same rhetoric and grimaced like fuck, it's spread to twitter too now? Then I opened the thread to see what they were doing it over and it started with the same user trying to greentext directly at a Japanese publisher while griping that fujoshi are to blame for not getting good BL anime. What do you expect a Japanese social media manager to make of your 4chan ass communication format ranting conspiracy theories about crumbs and discrimination? You just make yourself look like a crazy hostile foreigner.
Guys will see you talk about a solo character mildly and assume it's something untouchably gay. Now fellow fujos will see you dropping ship names everywhere in a frenzy and accuse you of not being a fujo because tribalism. "Why aren't there any big fujo fandoms on /a/ any more?" Because you are determined to stamp them out and cry victim.

A joke when yumes take over the joseimuke thread to shit on fujos. There's no husbando space to be free from these people. You can never want pure homo anymore. You always have to hear about how you can't leave a female character out, or it's insulting to yumes if you don't say a man is bisexual, and don't get me started on all the "boy has a pussy" in fanfic. We can't have actual gay shit anymore.

I had one Korean native explain to me why BL with the woman losing the man to another man is seen as a taboo in KR circles. You would think they're into degeneracy because manhwa in particular is pretty shallow and has some edge to it, but nope, they're really critical of female NTR.
No.12107
>>12097I genuinely didn't remember it but I had a look and I figured out what happened. There was that shitpost on page ten, but before that the doomposters started whining that Pokemon hasn't had gay ships since SwSh and someone said that SuMo's story was "only about Lillie and Lusamine" and implied Guzma's only ship was with Lusamine or Chicken-chan. So I opened my Guzma folder to pick out a fanart of one of the eight gay Guzma ships I've collected fanart of to reply with, and I might have gotten a little distracted, sent a load to a friend and then an essay about how Gamefreak surrounded him with rivals, childhood friends, mentor figures, womb tattoo bestowing deities etc. in at least three different age ranges, just tons of people all connected to Guzma in some way or another who make viable ships if you want,
and yet there's enough fanart to make a folder of him with Lysander. GiovanniGuzma was a meme even before Rainbow Rocket happened, but somehow eastern fandom went fucking crazy for shipping Guzma with any and all of the villain team leaders. Including their pikachu forms from the PokeCen promo. Though admittedly the PokeSpe ending does lend itself to Guzma making croissants and I do like the patisserie studies in Kalos idea for him.
So I was way too distracted by the "waaah there's no gay, stop, the canon isn't gay, you're not allowed to enjoy this" posters and talking about boys to really notice that one post. I mean the whole thread was being derailed by /v/ no homo doomposting so I was skimming past tons. Dumb baits after bump limit are nothing compared to people completely fucking the thread up at 380 posts just to kill it. My experience is still that homothread users shit where they eat to police fellow fujos. Not to support het ships, but to shut up anyone they don't like.

There was a time when western slash pairings still gave off similar vibes compared to what asian BL and popular pairings had to offer like Supernatural, BBC Sherlock and Hannibal fans liking the gay pairings for the fucked up angst and forbidden romance and not because muh MLM representation but one of them is a tif, or Glee fans liking their cutesy gay pairings and also shipping the two cheerleaders for real and not to pretend they give a fuck about lesbian representation.

There's been "realistic" gay media about doing party drugs and fucking strangers and nobody wants it because the target audience is just watching gay porn instead

It's like normies can't fanthom not being the target audience being pandered to here. Reminds me of how antifujos constantly say that yaoi is secretly het or the uke is a girl all the time.
Also this realism criticism is so selectively applied to fujoshi or women's media. I'm not seeing articles written about men cooming to lesbians or sexy ladies like it's some sort of strange alien movement in a sudden revival.

I feel like western fandom has always been incompatible with japanese fandom because of the latter part, like even in the LJ era people would write essays about how gay fanfic is inherently progressive because youre Queering The Text vs doujin culture being focused on pure self indulgent fantasies. western fandom always needs to justify its existence by being for some higher purpose which is just dishonest because at the end of the day we're drawn to shit because of our personal tastes (i.e. attraction to a character or dynamic)
No.12155
>>12154>western fandom always needs to justify its existence by being for some higher purpose which is just dishonest I just had a revelation. You know what this reminds me of? When western nerds and video game studios were trying to hard to make their video games "art" based on one (1) dead retarded amerilard movie critic saying video games can never be art because he played Pong once. And it led to many AAA western games becoming the same boring movie slop as soon as graphics and voice acting were good enough to allow that when Japanese games were either imitating them to boost sales and failing (the Crapcom era and DmC's horrible reputation for instance, or the bullshit going on with Final Fantasy games taking way too long to come out) or making fun games as usual. With BL and slash it's the same thing, Asia as a whole releases self indulgent but diverse stories of good or bad quality alike and in the west it's shit like Heartstopper made by an incompetent fujoshi in denial or Heated Rivalry. Now instead of being like

If it says M/M, then I expect M/M. Not some trooned out straight slop. I know, it's a mess of words. The benefit of being in fandoms where everyone is either over 33 or is too dark/hard to get into is that people who do this wont feel comfortable enough to shit spray their fake activism in the fandom. I look at some of the older, translation reliant fandoms I've been in vs newer ones with simultaneous dubs and the old content really feels like a harmony between JP and English. The same goes for works that aren't safe or appealng to antishippers. DMC only has Dante and Virgil with no alternatives that aren't incestuous or immensely fucked up. Which made casually getting back into the franchise so easy. Excluding DmC.
I am in shock that black butler got completely overtaken though.
No.12157
>>12156>I instantly avoid people who use queer tagsMe too but I barely read fanfics for this reason and other reasons so now I avoid the ones who put this word anywhere in their social media accounts. These past years I was either into obscure shit that didn't have fanart of fanfics or really shitty queerios ones so I avoided these fandoms altogether, or I got into much more mainstream anime/manga or games that have fandoms so big it's easy to avoid western fake fans and just silently follow Japanese and Korean artists and call it a day. They have their own issues among each other but I don't even see these issues most of the time.
>I am in shock that black butler got completely overtaken though.I'm glad I was always a huge fan since day one so the fans I interacted with since then were just my irl friends or some people recommending it in a forum when I was in middle and school so I only saw the weird zoomer fans from afar nowadays. They can say whatever they want about Grell being a troon, they don't realize how insane it makes them look to say the sexist gay serial killer who was jealous of pregnant women is a true and honest woman these days.

Like you have to move on at some point.
No.12166
>>12164ayrt, yeah. The cope was that he was some sort of distant descendant, like, from a previous relationship with Sparda. This was before the novel was widespread among the English side of the fandom.

The other theory was that he was *Dante's* son. there was, ah, a lot of debate between these parties.

>>12154It's so different, this is why so many Western activists in anime fandoms wind up defending franchises made for men and shitting on the ones made by women. In the West cartoons are for kids, anything for adults is mostly comedy and in an ugly art style. So people who want other stories with anime become weebs but they don't get that it doesn't work like the American industry. In America a show full of girls is for actual little girls, but in Japan tons of all girls shows are for middle age male otaku. Not everything is Precure. It's even worse with gacha games, where so many Western fans think games full of waifus are for lesbians and that mixed games cutting down on the men is feminism and not because incels are threatening to commit domestic terrorism. These people can't understand not all media is made or consumed for "representation". They don't want to understand how women in these East Asian countries where men dominate all industries create for themselves and that fujoshi culture is exactly that, especially when the anime industry has always been hostile. Now Western fans who only know some shounen anime or Genshin Impact think they know all and that they can lecture fujoshi for being "male centered" as they wind up praising industries and franchises made by men for other men to fap to. Their biggest defenders are always Western troons obsessed with anime girls.

There's worse fetishes I've been jumpscared with but I find male lactation one of the weirder ones. Often when a male character is feminized it's for self-insertion purposes but I can't imagine most women would want lactation to be part of it. Maybe it's more of a humiliation thing like with piss.

I hate gacha fandoms. People are posting about how Twisted Wonderland fans are misogynists for saying that the game is about boys and the silhouettes for the new rival school characters will be male characters. Why do they have to force everything to be about including yuri or het? Why can't they understand some fujos just want an male cast because it filters out male otaku and we want to be able to ship the guys without hearing how misogynistic we are for not shipping some het ship. No one tells people to include men in their all girl gachas because they think its feminist. These people will even cheer for companies like Hoyoverse to remove male characters from mixed gachas. LADS fans got them to ban BL fancontent. But we can't have one single joseimuke game that has fujo fanservice without people telling us to include women or to make male characters into trannies. We can't have a single franchise with a male only cast but people who want waifus get to take over every game. It's bullshit.

Male protag in an all girl's school has been a harem trope since forever. Or at least, within otaku culture. The reverse seldom happens but that's the point of You being the MC. You are so special the rules don't apply. You will always be invited to everything and are welcome.
Gacha has made self inserting so sexless if you used mods to swap he with she in a genderlocked game nothing actually changes. When I played, the MC was so ignored for the most part, it genuinely does not matter. Obey Me is an otome game but you can pretend to be a boy and it's the same. All boys academy, no female characters, You are the exception and You have all of their attention. Being a boy or a girl genuinely does not play a part in any decision.

I wasn’t arguing the MC’s gender because Yuu is such a none character s/he might as well not exist. I don’t think the MC’s gender has any bearing on whether other female characters (which (you) are not meant to self-insert into) can go to an all boys school.

But, I think it can be very true in male-dominated fandoms because a lot of the men that like those characters usually are only doing it because they think the female character is hot and not actually about the personality of the female character, at least online. Personally, I find I'm more schizo about my male ships and more likely to sperg about them in stupid ways.

From my observation, female character fans always have a superiority complex. Self-entitled men contaminate their fan spaces, and 'I'm not like the other girls,' girls hide under those guys just to hate on the fujos. They always beef with each other too, but always seem to meld into them when a fujo 'oversteps'.
>>12390They only do this because they want fujo's to make content for them btw.
Y'know, it's funny, I keep seeing female character/yuri-based accounts calling us misogynistic for not caring about girl characters, but also admitting that the writers are shit at writing female characters, and they only exist to be sexualized or attached to the male lead not to mention that they have uwu-ified/unrealistic personalities that real women don't have. But nope, fujo's are bad because they admitted it first.
For me I've always liked female characters but at the end of the day all I had to fawn over was their designs. I always self-reflect because these fuckers would call girls who were crazier over bl sexist.

Is anyone else getting really annoyed by hetshippers?
I keep seeing viral tweets like every other week saying not to treat shipping like 'activism' or not to call het content 'hetslop' because it's 'mean'. I didn't know we were still in the 3rd grade. I can't help but laugh at these people; they're truly the weakest link. They would not survive being a fujo for a second.
I always thought slop was a funny term; it surely beats being called a fetishist or a misogynist. Which I also see them calling bl and gl shippers to validate themselves. And honestly, the connotation of slop doesn’t instantly indicate that something is bad; sometimes, slop hits real fucking good. It's funny to see years of fujo harassment get turned on yuritards tho, they go insane every time the fetishist insult gets used on their yuri.
Also, hetslop enjoyers acting like they aren't obsessed with turning female characters into the male characters' property, sex, impregnation, and fetishizing(/degrading) pregnant women makes me roll my eyes. They always act as if their group has NEVER harassed any bl or gl shipper before, when they tend to be really toxic and hide behind the fact that it’s normal to be straight, and everyone else is weird, which is pissing me off.

Why is it always like this? Can they not make any content without complaining about fujoshi? At what point do we get to call them sexist?

My only experience with hettards was the arcane fandom which was the worst fandom I've ever seen in my life.

(My favorite western artist who mainly liked hl but also dipped in bl and gl content got harassed off the platform because of toxic newgen bl or gl fans. They probably went for her so much because she had extreme anxiety and was opened abt it.) I've seen all sorts of retarded arguments abt how normal hetships are 'pedobait' or 'incestuous' etc. But the thing that makes het-onlys write mini think pieces is the term 'hetslop'?
Also a lot of these het-onlys have the same superiority complex that yuritards have and treat fujos the same way. So it's just funny to me that they can't handle an insult that sounds like a 10 year old said it.
>>12441I don't think so. I think it's just to make it easier to find what content you want. I thought newgen western and korean artist started using BL to separate from yaoi because there was a time when the term was so negatively received that even people who liked yaoi participated in fujo harassment.

There's also a lot of TIFs who will draw out or post about how they have safe-weird or edgy fetishes depending on the type of TIF, but then not actually get off to them. I've encountered several TIFs on Discord who will go on about how much they love XYZ fetish but then vent about how they are asexual virgins who have never orgasmed. Seems performative to me.
I'm guessing there's feelings of wanting to stand-out online / be sexual in a way that doesn't objectify yourself / self-shame over being an inexperienced straight woman who likes standard m!dom f!sub stuff if anything / wanting to prove yourself as a stinky man who likes sexual things / wanting to reclaim yourself from gendered expectations / mental illness and autism / etc among TIFs.

Loud terminally online yumeshippers are annoying but the fact is, back then- people were bullied and shamed into not posting their self-ships. Actual bullying and Mary Sue bashing kept them quiet. So they self-inserted instead into BL writing boys like terrible OCs. And they still do this. But don't pretend like this is all a new thing. It's just louder now.
As for Aqua, older woman x younger male has never been popular and she has so little chemistry with everyone except Vanitas that Terra is actually just the only option.

I don't think even a fujo game could exist because would want characters only shipped with the mc. I know games like Enstars and Twisted Wonderland have a fujo fanbase with the cast having bait with each other, but no one ever tried doing an open world like that. I feel like if maybe one tried with better production it could sell like hotcakes. If people like the nothingburger Hoyo ships then something that actually made male/male dynamics part of the story might be a hit.

>>12526>>12527I'm confused, fujo gacha games do exist though? Granted, the only one I would call successful is Nu: Carnival (just celebrated it's 4th anniversary, gets tons of merch, and is collabing with Nitro). The others were obviously trying to get a piece of their success, and I think that's where the problem lies. Most of these corporations don't give a shit about women, even less fujos, so while they want our money they don't want to fully commit and deliver a quality product.
No.12530
>>12527>I don't think even a fujo game could exist because would want characters only shipped with the mc.Nu:Carnival works but the issue with it is what you just stated. I love Eiden as a character, don't get me wrong, but the sheer autism of anti-clanshipping is insane. You notice really quick that the devs do everything in their power to let certain characters not speak with one another, which in turn makes the characters dull and the stories a snoozefest if all they do is talk to their safe characters (like that stupid dog and robot) instead of others. Eiden-onlys are a special breed of obsessed
No.12531
>>12528You say they don't pander to chicks but LADS is right there. Pandering to fujos specifically is a risk no company genuinely wants to invest in because the market would only be fujos. Not to mention Chinese censorship. You are asking for a niche of a niche. Waifu games are always going to make money even when they suck. They may EOS within 3 years but at least they made bank.
Making a high quality, high budget and not insufferable to play fujo game is something that would need to be funded by some eccentric freak on their own like Mushoku Tensei. Any super successful fujo project tends to be a springboard for something else. I'm not saying it would not work, I am saying that it will never exist outside of being gacha yuri on ice

BL gachas would probably benefit from the same system. If they wanted to avoid the MC centric problem then there could be no MC character and you just watch the story play out, or the MC is explicitly a fujo, or a cute animal or some shit.
No.12534
>>12526There's what you said, but new gacha games also have to compete with well established competitors who also fit that bill. I don't pay attention to gacha games simply because I got fed up with FEH changing its meta all the time, introducing ugly as fuck OC donut steel guys each new chapter that I kept getting instead of the characters I wanted at least a hundred times, and a few years later the story got so boring I kept skipping all the cutscenes before battles. After that I could barely complete the tutorials of other gacha games I tried and took it as a sign to give up. I have no idea how people into the same games for 5 or 10 years in a row do it, but I assume they don't feel like trying new games while keeping up with what they're already used to and keep playing everyday.
No.12535
>>12528I would even take a baity game that has lots of cute boys since BL games can only be porn and they suffer the curse of people being anti shipping because everyone is obsessed with not being cucked. Even a game with tons of cute boys and then having good cast chemistry will get fujos even if its not explicitly a BL game, look at Enstars, Twisted Wonderland or even Touken Ranbu. Some other gachas can pander to fujos but the newgen don't want to play these games so we're stuck with Hoyo. Regular jrpgs don't want to pander to fujos anymore, on the chance they even get made in a timely fashion.

I hate the fact that so many fandoms these days feel so soulless to me. I know it was inevitable considering smartphones+social media spreading like wildfire but it still sucks. The only fitting description I have for this current era is soulless larping. There's so many people who want to embody the shameless cringy autistic energy of old fandom, especially now that every other zoomer hopped on the 2000's nostalgia train, but everything they post just stinks of irony-poisoned failed normie. Like they desperately want other people to think they're cool even though they have weird interests. I think it's because now more than ever, fandom has become something that even people who don't engage in it know a lot about. Seeing videos on youtube about niche fandom history getting millions of views feels genuinely freaky to me.
No.12539
>>12536I feel the same way and I think others notice it too and don't like it, based on the amount of people I see tweeting about fandoms dying so fast, but no one can really stop it. I blame social media for this. Everyone is on either twitter or tiktok and both of those places are terrible for fandoms. Zoomers only want to be into the most popular shit, and they burn out so fast. You used to be able to stretch out content and it wouldn't be unusual for people to write for the same fandom for years. People didn't use to care if a show or game was old because tv meant people would watch reruns and there were less games and anime so you checked out what you could. Now if it's not live service games or the big popular anime, no one cares. It's not even fun to be in fandom anymore because no one wants to actually cultivate a community sharing work anymore. They want instant fame and clout which is why you have them churning out AI fics for whatever the big popular fandom is, and then they move onto the next. It's not healthy for a fandom to cycle through the hype -> drama -> burnout phase over the span of months like this.

That being said, there is still so much art out there of Laurent holding a naked Damen by a leash, wearing manacles, and showing off whip marks on his dark brown back. I do think this dynamic is going to be the appeal for some, or at the very least is what the book is mainly known for now.

And yes I agree! This was a good balance of plot, the characters actually getting to know/like each, and world-building. I loved Damen's narration and how much it told you about who he was/his views in so little! It's one of the better m/m novels out there, and it's because Pacat doesn't try and disavow her "problematic" BL roots like other western fujos.

So yeah, it always mystified me that he, in particular, gets the racebending treatment. It actively erases what makes his character meaningfully offensive. Maybe that's actually why they do it?

I've seen a handful of nonas that enjoy both so I avoid ragging on it too much
>I find it just as bad as cuntboy.Ironically a lot of the CB that I come across gives the boys more realistic, flat builds and that's how I get tricked into reading some of it

>>12678Same kneejerk reaction here. I don't associate butts in BL with women so I wouldn't have thought to google a 3D woman to post as an example. I like big butts, or the suggestion of it at least, but I haven't seen them much outside of fanart. Is it a Korean thing? I usually don't read webtoons with sex scenes in because the art puts me off. SFW webtoons get prettier styles with less retarded lips and coloring.
With fanart I do find that people have a habit of using oval tools for both men and women, and not referencing what shapes of butt are actually common for men. When I think big butt bottom I first think wide flat rather than round. Bubble butts are cute on skinny twinks but that's more shape than size. If it's a buff guy then it's in proportion with the rest of the chunk and bulging so it doesn't stand out much. I can forgive fetish art for equating everything to "make bigger hurfdurf" because they're past the point of horny logic while doing it, but my interest is in thick thighs, soft belly, things that squish up together when compacted. The butt is an extension of the thighs and you can't just draw circles and call it a day. Make it wide flat and give a crease and bunching later to show when the top rams against the mass. In the end the give or firmness of the flesh is more appealing than simply the size.
>>12686Slippery sloppy? I've seen artists use it to mean things slide in easily. Furthest from my experience of vaginas for sure but I assume they're thinking fluffed porn actress.

>>12686>>12694I haaaate when artists draw vertically-stretched hole. It's so clear they're two steps from wanting to make it a pussy, and I've found it showing up in things other than force-fem lately.

>>12697It reminds me of that one nikocado avocado butthole photo that people seemed to be using as the sequel to goatse.

>>12696I think many of us here are tired of the claim that "yaoi is heterosexuality with a extra steps" So when we see shit from bl artists that confirm that view, we denounce it. That applies to mpreg and cuntboy, but also when male characters have hip female proportions and anuses that are described as vaginas.

>>12702Nta but yes I agree but not only because of critics but also because this is a genre about relationships between males. If I wanted to read about some male having sex with a GNC female with a flat chest I would just do that (and I do!).
