>>12149>It has always been mostly about making characters boink or cranking your hog to your 2d waifu. The only people who don't understand this (they don't even have to like it!) are normalfags who should not have been online enough to discover fandom in the first place.I actually kind of disagree with this, I think fandom is super wide and for a lot of older fandoms, think like Star Trek or Buffy, there was more an emphasis on creating stuff like fan-episodes or continuations of the canon. For specifically shipping though I agree, while character studies and non-sexual intimacy are preferred by some (including me) the whole subculture has an inherent sexual slant.
No.12159
>>12158Yeah. I remember that transformers used to have competitions for 'fic that could have been an episode'.
Actually fanfic awards and competitions in general, I think, really encouraged non-romance/shipping fic, so it had staying power in fandom. I will say that it's definitely more shipping centric these days.

In the past I'd commission an artist for my gay ship, even if they don't draw gay stuff in their spare time, if I just thought their artstyle was nice but lately I've become picky and I don't want to commission an artist unless they're already invested in drawing gay stuff.

No.12172
>>12169Damn, this happened to me when I got into a certain comic. Even after I started seeing art of it casually making it onto my twatter timeline (which was already late) I kept ignoring it for years until couldn't ignore that certain themes and designs were clicking with me. There was a shitton of art of it around, like, easily 30k artworks or something, but 90% of the people that made them were gone by the time I joined and worse, I got especially obsessed with a bunch of tertiary characters that had 0 active artists post 2016 (and I joined 2018).
It feels like discovering ruins and ghost towns. You see the pretty building, the once busy steets and such you can imagine how beautiful it must have been. But now you're only seeing the remains, unable to engage and ask anybody how it's been like.
Despite all sadness those remains are some of my main inspirations and I can only thank god that they still exist and didn't get deleted. I hope that my own accounts can be such a pretty ruin for the few future fans that might stumble upon them one day, even if I already left.

There should be a term for annoying "rare dynamic" shippers, you know the top deku or top geto shippers, whose favs are usually the bottom and so they overcompensate and tend to act completely annoying.
No.12188

No.12196
>>12187>>12193The way you guys describe it makes it sound like a Jump fandom issue more than anything. I usually champion a rarepair because it gets less fanworks despite having potential, so that more people see it and throw it a bone. It still needs to start with some traits or dynamic that I like, otherwise why drum up more for it. By the sounds of it the big shounen fandoms have people trying to create something personal to themselves and draw the attention of the crowd. There's ego in any act of making a pairing your thing you never shut up about, but in big fandoms it's like people expect to set up tent and carve their own fandom inside the fandom.

No.12198
>>12197Why is this anyway? I remember that if we go back to the roots of BL, the wimpy uke archetype has always been there
because it's a stand-in for a woman but often than not, the character itself was already pretty wimpy, frail and "weak".
But for BL shipping, I think because people were used to the hard-coded "weak uke" "strong seme" that was in BL, ever character had to fall into that category no matter what if they were in a ship. It's understandable if in kawoshin shinji is weak and meek but I have definitely seen a fair share of ooc top kaworus in my lifetime. There's also jotakak which completely babyfied kakyoin, etc.
But even if I try to rationalize it like this, I still don't know why it still happens to this day. We're not in the 90s anymore, ukes can be sex-confident and initiating and not "nooooo yameteeeee"
No.12200
>>12193KnY fandom seems to be pretty good with keeping younger tops the same size, I have seen some taller aged up art but it's the minority. Not to say that the uke feminization shit doesn't still happen for the older characters but I think there's a decent variety.

No.12244
>>12243>I think straight guys reference material that was drawn by women while gay guys exclusively reference bara and conceit to make everything “AS BIG AS THEY CAN”Imo it also tends to be true that women designed by straight women are more appealing (at least in my opinion, but I also can't think of any designed by lesbians off the top of my head, in any case straight male designs are usually at the bottom of the barrel)
It's probably something like if you aren't thinking of a character as fap material first then your design will turn out better. Shoujo magical girls vs ecchi magical girls are probably the easiest comparison. Straight male artists are also more likely to not be afraid of adding unconventional features to their men instead of making them all blandly attractive, which is a key ingredient to the sexyman formula.
No.12245
>>12244Yeah, I think women in general have more consideration for a character's personality rather than their appearance, so they tend to be more designed around their personality, if that makes sense.
Men of all sexuality seem to think bigger=better, hence bara/hyper/huge boobs on anime girls/giant butts and hips on femboy male characters.

>>12248Minamoto and Sessyoin Kiara are both definetly designed to be read as "Older Women" but yeah it's not nearly as diverse as the male characters, you don't have like a Moriarty equivalent or any women with wrinkles.
I was trying to think earlier if I knew any gay authors who made more conventional "yaoi" boys and Nagabe is the only one who comes to mind, but half his stuff is furry so I don't know if it counts. Personally I don't mind some bara artists though, I like more mature men so in a sfw context arists like Mentaiko or Tarutoru appeal to me, but the tone in their porn is much more… grotesquely sexual I guess? I don't know, I have yet to see porn by a gay author that is actually arousing, but I suppose that makes sense given I'm not the target.

Though there's a good bit of art where Simon's taller (story stuff), I do think it could count. I assume you're specifically looking for pairs where the height gap is super noticeable, though, rather than popular -1~2 inch tops in general. Can't think of too many others in that case.

I don't like the idea of strict roles, and my parents are pretty typical as they come when it comes to traditional gender roles. But I think that's pretty par the course, I don't think most fujos are traumatized and think they're mainly here for the love of the game (male on male action), but I'm sure a good amount like that technically the uke isn't born an uke they're made to be one/choose to be one which is atypical of straight relationships where it's assumed what will happen.

I think a combination of things set me up to dislike aggressively hetero pairings (like growing up a girl and having eyes and ears) but my parents probably contributed to me also disliking the "this one is the girl" flavors of BL/GL and the general feminization/woobification of the bottom if it's a fixed dynamic. It's hard to pin down a common thread between the ships I like enough to actively consume/create works about (other than, of course, that they are all the objectively correct one to have for that piece of media (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧)

>>12297>Single parentI spent a lot of time around my best friend's parents though, and they were the yelling at each other and only together for the kid type, so…
My fujo preferences were set pretty early on with antagonistic rival types but I think now the most common theme is ships which are maybe unrealistically loyal and devoted to each other. I can definitely say that I'm into fictional characters achieving a romantic ideal that is rare or impossible for real life relationships (which isn't to say that I don't also like the mundane/realistic/slice of life part, but I'm definitely not into faves behaving in a shitty way by RL standards)

No.12311
>>12297Now you've got me reflecting, I don't think it has anything to do with my parents (even though my dad is a by the books tsundere), but my friends when I was little. I was never accepted in groups of other girls, so if I had a female friend she was my one best friend who meant everything to me and did everything with me. But my first best friends when I was 3-4 were boys. And my friend groups between female friends were all boys too, and I absolutely remember mentally having something like a ship for two of my friends when I was like eight, because they were joined at the hip and did everything together, they had size difference and the taller one followed everything the short one said like he was amazing even though he was kind of a dick, but the tall guy was really soft and generous. In fact, two of my friend groups at different times were made up of two guys and me, and I would see those guys always being together more than they were with me because I didn't get to hang out outside of school.
Then around 10-11 guys start separating themselves off from girls way harder and I was always alone seeing them going around in their pairs. I started spending all my time in the computer room making neopets pages and going on forums where people wrote GokuVegeta stuff. Rest is history. I write size difference pairs.

No.12377

There also may be drugs involved as well but of course they'd cover that up too.

If one exists, chances are it sells it's user data on the side or will have it's images used to train AI whether deliberately or non-deliberately.
If it doesn't do that, then the lack of "big tech" support may make them go under unless they accept donations or are backed up with a decent funding to keep going on their own.

No.12483
>>12481>>12482I never bothered saving pictures from poipiku. However I regularly save my archive on twitter. I don't just like art tweets, I also retweet whatever I feel like, that way once I manage to donwload my archive it automatically saves tweets and pictures that are on my profile as long as the tweets weren't deleted before that. It's faster and more convenient than saving everything once by one, and when I used chrome on my laptop many of the pictures I saved from twitter became jiff files for some reason so that was annoying. I deleted a lot of fanart on my previous laptop because of the lack of space too, mostly JJBA and Yuri on Ice fanart and I kind of regret it because many of these artists deleted everything. But some of them are still saved in the archive I download of my previous twitter account that I deleted a few years ago for several reasons.
By the way, I've been to cons in Japan a few times and knowing I have copies of doujinshi I like makes me worry a lot less about that. I bought a JJK doujinshi from one artist who deleted everything that isn't related to Nintama very soon after so I don't even worry about it. Next time I go to Japan maybe I will buy doujinshi from older shows and games I was obsessed with a long time ago, like Tiger & Bunny, Hetalia, Gintama, etc.

It's basically a walking sim, so they converse about faith, belief , and have a fraught relationship that slowly turns into fucked up sexual/romantic tension over the course of the game.
Ultimately she amputates his arm without his consent scaring him away.I remember thinking that if they had both been men, and you had replaced the nun with a deacon I would have eaten the game up shipping-wise.

That falls apart pretty quick when I multiship though. Plus, I have so fucking much saved excluding potential duplicate files that there's really no way to actually sort through everything. I tried to get a local booru up and running but it was a little too complex for me back in the day, so maybe I'll try that again someday.
I also used to mass download Pixiv galleries using that Nandaka PixivUtil tool but that was before everyone up and left for Twitter, and that saved files into a folder named after the artist by default. So some of my hoard was sorted by myself, some of it was batch downloaded into that method, some of it is in phone backup folders, but most of it has been thrown into folders containing 2~5k images each. Everything is everywhere and it's a bit overwhelming, but it's okay. At least doujin goods are easier. Everything being sorted by (event number)\[circle name] is great, makes everything a breeze to find.
My goal this year is to set up a home NAS and RAID solution and get some automatic backups going. Manually doing it is getting too time consuming.

it's thanks to this place I was able to see how self-insertion has affected fanfic and fandoms
and it's almost embarrassing how easy it is to point out. Character A is now horny and really wants to rape Boy B despite their character never once showing interest in sex? Gotta be a self insert. It even reads like the author was too embarrassed to masturbate to porn and treated said work as their edging.

Generic tags are filled with furaffinity levels of crayon eater inflation. Can't filter out tags too so you can just find semi-realistic infantacide if you're searching by kink and the uploader uses every irrelevant tag imaginable.
Fandom tags get slammed by bad 3d renders and untagged R18 that goes un-deleted even if you report it. last time I gave this site my time was looking at Final Fantasy 14 and it was just in game screenshots by men who think THEIR badly posed catgirl/bunnygirl/lizard girl is the main character of their online space

If Character A suddenly has the author's specific mental illness, then maybe I'll start suspecting. But this plot tells you nothing.

Feels like all the fandom freaks and degenerates that are at least 30+ just hang out in TV/RPF adjacent fandoms nowadays, while anime fandoms just get more and more increasingly underage and more anti.
What I mean is, it seems that all the raunchy and unapologetic smut is always usually started/done by people into TV (supernatural, sherlock, that 9-11 popular show that somehow has a ton of ao3 fics, etc) because most of the writers are in either mid 30s or 40s and already experienced the height of fandoms before, so they have no reason to change their behavior and simply write fic for kink and fun.
Most post-covid teens or "young adults" (If you were underage during 2019-2020+ you'll always be a teen to me even if you'd be 24 now) grew up with a sanitized internet that is so anti-fic anti-kink that they only end up doing either the most "edgy without purpose" type of fic or the most sanitized boring bullshit ever

Any "YA" story beats that are of interest to younger men are probably better served to them in video game or comic format.
Also from what I've observed boys are much more susceptible to wanting to watch streamers and game online than girls are. Most boys who would have picked up Elric of Melniboné or something 20 years ago instead get funneled into DA GAMER ZONE where they learn to gamble and say slurs.
No.12670
>>12662This is all the more frustrating if you've seen guys on image boards discussing why men aren't catered to in bookshops. They all talk about it as "women invaded men's spaces and took over", "women have chased men out of the book industry on purpose as the feminist conspiracy to destroy society", "this hobby belongs to men and women are just pretending to read", "women's fiction aren't real books", etc. They really think women have strategically entered publishers to discriminate against male authors, and that they get "strange looks" if they walk into a bookshop now. I go book shopping with my brother whenever we meet up, the last two times he's bought books about nuclear disasters and discontinued war plane experiments when I was upstairs looking at manga. They were put on the front display tables at the entrance, so men don't even have to wander aimlessly to find these things. Guys online are too self conscious and let it eat away any purpose they have in their browsing. "I feel like I don't belong in book shops these days," but were you in the modern fiction section or the history section or what? How come you were staring at tiktok romance shelves when you felt uncomfortable? Learn what you like and actually look for it, you are a customer too.
>>12667It's honestly an issue with teen culture and men policing each other. They skip YA to adult fantasy because books can't just be entertainment, they have to have justifiable cultural value or their peers will pick on it. Less accessible fantasy forms its own defense, because a bully won't try reading it to any degree that'd matter. Manga publishers are trying to bring light novel culture over, so that more male readers are comfortable spending a small fortune on simple pleasures, but male anime fans won't shut up how reading basic prose is beneath them and it has to be more complex to be worth their time. Female readers will read what sparks joy, and pay for that experience, but when I was a teen the "books are uncool, don't be caught reading books" attitude applied to girls too, and not in the girly girl lit way. When an author they liked in childhood published something new, there'd be an uneasy shuffling of people trying to figure out who was safe to confide their enjoyment with. As designated nerd I was like a priest taking confessions.
We have to keep reminding people that before television everyone read. The average joe read silly shit for fun and gossip. There must be way to have elitist attitudes without telling people to stop reading entirely. It's not shameful, it's not daunting, it's just a thing you do for your own benefit.

Draco on the other hand, was depicted as extremely feminine, as if he were only 5'1 meters tall and had no body size, even though in the books he was taller than Harry.

2: Draco has been drawn femme as early as 2002, pic related is an image from 2009 but I've seen the femme looking doujinshi wayyy earlier than that.
3:While Harry isn't a stereotypical bumbling stupid jock he is indeed passionate about quidditch and has no problem being a dick and telling people off in the books during games, I believe within fandom people like to take
bits and pieces of something that canonically happens and exaggerates it, which is a bit normal to be honest, it happens in every series ever.

The joseimuke thread on /vmg/ is full of the most brainrotten and retarded yumejos I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with and I don't even dare to know how things are like on a site like CC or lolcow.
Maybe unrelated to being a fujo but I don't hate female characters nor do I care to hate them. I also don't 'force' myself to care either. If I like something, I like it. If I don't, then I don't and ignore it.
But these 'disgruntled by the corpo moids ruining pure what-could've-been-husbandocore games' type of complainers do nothing but shit on everything and hope that miraculously another LADs-like drops to their feet. These types of rotten yumejos wouldn't have survived being in 2000s-2010s fandoms where most popular media STILL had female characters in it even on the side. I say yumejos because they all only care about whether something has "husbandos" or not. Most fujos I know into gachasloppa genuinely don't care enough to hate, at least to those levels.
It always feels like when dealing with these fujo environments I have to either
>really REALLY hate female characters with every fiber of your soul and seethe at them ruining the setting and shit on everyone who ever so much acts neutral about g*rls existing
or

The more important characters have full character arcs and plenty of interesting scenes and relationships with each other, some secondary characters do as well but they tend to be very closely related to the plot and setting in way that won't make sense to you because of spoilers, since you haven't played FE3H yet. And then you have secondary playable characters who are irrelevant, not interesting, whether their character designs appeal to you will depend on your personal tastes, their personalities are gimmicky, they seem to only exist for exist for gameplay reasons because otherwise there wouldn't be enough playable characters, etc. Other anons may disagree with me but the gimmicky characters in FE3H are types like Marianne and Bernadetta.

No.12764

I'm sure a lesbians could write/have written an original work about gay men (since that sells more I reckon), but I'm wary of the ones who write/create explicit art for BL fandoms. I don't disbelieve that lesbians like some gay couples, but it's the act of creating explicit works about these couples that make it suspect. Also, most translated yuri that isn't straight hentai is not explicit as much as yaoi is.

1. you don’t know how much of those are actual women because women don’t watch actual porn nearly as much as men/trannys
2. either that or just women watching to get an idea of what their nigel is interested in
lesbian sex is not common among any other form of sexual media women consume and make (erotica, fanfic, manga, etc) Whereever you heard that “statistic” it’s definitely false.

They are also (imo rightfully so) skeptical of women who claim to be fujo lesbians.
No.12769
>>12765>>12766I don't entirely doubt this since most porn were very male-centric for a long time. Lesbian porn focuses on exclusively female pleasure, and even if it's shot through a male gaze, it still offers more than so many vids of some dude jackhammering away.

Even if I did not expect that kind of art from them, saying that they don't draw morally wrong art just makes me assume the worst.

Not only did they not shut the fuck up, they also didn't move and it turned out there wasn't any employee in the group. It was just random women preventing me from checking if the book I wanted was there and screaming about how older BL books are problematic because of the lack of consent but they're so happy that more recent manga aren't like that and about how they love meeting other fujoshi during anime cons, like bitch move out of the way you're 6 or 7 people in a tiny corner.

Pic rel, the way the faces are shaped is distinctive Imo. I'm figuring she may just know JP, since it's existed since late 2023 (KR acc since 2019), and has been posting in JP since inception, to the point she uses it in pics too.

They’re the sort of ship people only shipped because they found the actors attractive together and the actors baited it outside the show after the ship gained popularity.

>>13045I wish there was a way to punish people for not tagging. I'm not transphobic I just very rarely enjoy looking at pussy. 99% of the time I'd rather look at frotting with 2 girls than I would anything involving a pussy.
>But every major fandom content creator would probably block me on sight if I followed them.This is my conundrum. I'm sitting on a treasure trove of fic I've written that would be appreciated by a certain ship's smallish fandom, but the prevailing HC for one of the guys is trans and while I would really love friends in this fandom it would be extremely obvious I do not interact with any of the trans fic/art.
>>13044I signed up but forgot to go, but I usually catch the panels when they are up on YouTube. It's a little annoying seeing fujo spaces transformed into catchall "queer" spaces.

It'll suck not being able to make friends but your identity stays a secret and other people who don't like the HC will be happy. Mute every user you don't like and if you get a comment from one of them you won't have to see it.
That's what I do in my fandom where I don't gel with the majority.

>>13060>I'm not transphobic I am. Against online mtfs mostly. A malnourished drug addict in a wig decides to tell everyone "I demand to piss in the women's room." and now when I want to go fix my make up or adjust my undergarments, there's a 99% chance some ape of a man may walk out of a stall.
Every single fandom I get into feels like that, and if they get a single English VA, someone sends them $5 out of their weed money stash to have them go off about trans rights on a stream. It's not activism, it's addiction to drugs and validation. They get more of a dopamine kick from the cocktail of pills they take and praise online than meth. So I gotta spend at least 40 minutes-an hour filtering any trans adjacent tags on every site and yet I will still get some variant of [x] has a vagina/cunt/pussy because they need their work to be special. I lean to western interests more than anime and the low barrier for entry makes the community worse.
I however, do not have a problem with ftm's who don't go out of their way to witchhunt people misgendering them. Or ftm's who actually take the effort to build themselves up and don't need to make everything about them. Which are almost all of them that don't have any social media or have a life that doesn't involve working as baristas and environments with mandatory gender language training.
Also post your fanfics anon. If someone is investigating your account to sniff out why you don't write cuntboy, they are the issue not you. Somewhere, someone needs your work to feel sane and if they dont like it, fuck them. You wrote it, you can and should be proud of that.

>>13060>It's a little annoying seeing fujo spaces transformed into catchall "queer" spaces.Agreed. They've got enough sponsors that I assume it's a case of them trying to cast a wide net for profit but it's still unfortunate. I called it the circus but alternatively it's like taking a pleasant walk in the sunshine but you keep having to walk around dog shit on the pavement.

I love seeing JP fujos making handmade plushies of their OTP and doing nail art themed around them.
