That's not true, lots of people self-identify as Stans. And then they post gifs that I don't understand of ladies being sassy.

Stan is the new word that actually means fanatic since fan just means everybody who likes a thing now.

The issue about Flash being venom was really good because it was very deliberately framed as "we broke up, you saw someone else, we're together again, and I'm still kind of dealing with the fact that you miss him" The whole run is fantastic because it is in fact the gayest comic

And, yeah, I know it happens in all media everywhere. A friend has stories about soap opera forums that would curl one's hair. Although the record lately was for Netflix's Voltron, where people insisted there was essentially a Snyder Cut where their ship DID happen. The Voltron thing is a whole other kettle of worms tho, because what happened there was people decided a character was gay, the show teased it, then they announced it was going to be official, and the characters partner was on screen for like two minutes and got murdered

Instead he has maybe 3 minutes of screentime then dies offscreen.

Because apparently that got some people realllllly mad.

Yeah, it was "supposed" to be with Keith. While I did see some of the outcry that was mentioned for the above reason, that was more prevalent. Also something to do with Allura and Lotor. https://twitter.com/marclombardi/status/1100003610203750402 Who's excited to see how much is raised for the "legal war chest?" Worked great for Hambly. He bought a new truck. (Although not with the 30K+ he got. Heavens no.)

Tim Eldred is a guy who did a lot of work for Malibu/Ultraverse in the 1990s and has been working on all of the Marvel cartoons for the past decade or so. Just saying, looking at his Twitter account and his first page of recent tweets have been about being proud to direct Black Panther-centric episodes of Avengers Assemble, not letting Republicans claim MLK as one of theirs, and calling for Mitch McConnell to resign and looking forward to "the end of the Trump regime", it isn't that hard to deduce that he isn't a Comicsgater, ignorant of the comics industry, or anti-Marvel.

There really needs to be a sarcasm signal that people can add to the end of sentences so you can see what the person meant. What Eldred wrote sarcastically could be said seriously by any comicsgater chud.

It's going to be great when, the next time there's a female lead comic book film, all these people pre-emptively hating on Captain Marvel won't be able to shut up about how perfect the Captain Marvel movie was.

I'm sorry to inform you that there was never a time where SJW was a term used to describe only "the extreme" elements of people who want society to not be terrible. From day one the negative associations with the term social justice came from bad faith right wingers and racists.

Livejournal circa 2008-10 in the overlapping circles of fanfiction-writing ends of fandom and the budding social justice scene, just off the top of my head of what I personally witnessed.

"Stan" is the new term for fanboy/girl that popped up because the old words didn't feel inclusive enough when more and more people are coming out as not identifying as either. SJW as a pejorative came up in the early Tumblr years, when people who very clearly didn't actually do any research or know what the words they were using meant and used the concept to act like hateful bullies under the guise of being the good guy. These were the 'all heterosexual sex is rape' 'check your privilege' types. Mostly these types were laughed off the site when people who actually knew what the Hell they were talking about came on and decided to shoot them down in masse with, you know, actual information and research and poo poo. So many of them left, grew up (to be fair most of them were literal children just acting out as children do) or shuffled off the the hellscape that is the Shipping tags to bully people for liking a relationship that they don't.

Flytrap posted:"Stan" is the new term for fanboy/girl that popped up because the old words didn't feel inclusive enough when more and more people are coming out as not identifying as either. When i first saw the term it was used to describe people who literally felt that not being able to put Dragon on their drivers license or that Sepheroth that lived in their head could not get welfare was great injustices. It was only later when Nazis started using it, that it became, at least in my experience, people who didn't want to treat people like poo poo for no reason. But whatever its origins, its pretty much only used by the nazis now. I think the last time I saw it used in the way you described it was there was a recently article talking about how Dune is bad because its a White Savior story, and someone wrote a refutation to it calling the OP an SJW because they were attacking something without understanding the work fully, just looking at surface details. For the record Dune looks like a White Savior, but its actually about how terrible it is, that the Fremen are wrong to accept Paul, and Paul is wrong in thinking he can help them.
