Even when it's for a good cause, I really do not like the 'hey X celebrity, say this to make me feel better' routine.

Oh and EVS and the other comicgate pals have announced that they're doing an 'expose' on how Snyder's daughter dying was because of his nihilism. Showing you, once again, that these people never really gave a poo poo about anything but having a cudgel they could beat the other side with.

I could be completely wrong on this but I remember "Anti" originally describing the kind of people who will rain hell down on, like, teenage Reylo shippers, and pro-shipper came out as a counter to that, except then it widened to include incest/pedo ships and now anti has a veneer of correctness to it even though it originally started as a term for lovely people. I don't think these terms were ever really set in stone, so again, I might be very off there, but I really feel like antis are not a good thing, even if proshippers are worse.

the thing is that a lot of lovely people have successfully blurred what 'antis/antishippers/antiantis/proshippers' actually means

you get people who think they're pushing against people who hate seeing gay relationships when they say they're in favor of shipping/against people who dislike 'problematic ships,' and they might not have dove into the Discourse to think about it any more than that

which is a big problem, since there's a group of pedophiles at the core who are trying to put 'adults loving children' into the definition of 'problematic ships' as if it is exactly as bad as shipping two characters who yell at each other sometimes. a lot of the people whipping up anger at 'antis' are people like that, and I'd definitely look more into people upset about 'antis' to see if they really know what they're talking about.

to put it a different way: there were almost definitely people who bought into the idea that people were actually getting mad at a lack of ethics in game journalism, but those people really needed to educate themselves a bit more about what was going on before saying anything

afaik "anti" and "proshippers" both mean completely different things depending on who u ask (like for example "pro" could be anything from "awww yea brother loving" to "dang these enemies make a good pair" and vice versa for "antis")?? :confused:
tho imo (and i think sarah z does too) is that they're wayyy too vague as terms because they can mean basically anything and are just clumped all together (but i think anyone who gets really intensely involved in this kind of discourse is a too online weirdo :v:)

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



it's one of those things where even if these terms once had like, a single solitary meaning they've evolved into everything from "teenagers enjoying problematic but ultimately fine ships" to "lol pedos" on one side and "blegh your ship is bad and you should kill yourself" to "hey maybe we shouldn't ship this 12 year old girl with a literal 30 year old that's weird" and everything in between.


You post about "hey don't yuck on someone's yum for liking reylo" and you can be accused of supporting pedophiles, or anti-pedos can be accused of literally cyberbullying poor teenage reylo fans into suicide and it's just so bleghhhj

yeah, to put it much more briefly, the problem is definitely that 'let people enjoy things' on its own can mean 'let these teens write about their own age group in ways teens write about things' as much as it can mean 'let this adult be a pedophile in spaces where children that young also exist'

being for/against the concept of people enjoying things is meaningless without context of who the people are and what they are enjoying

also to be clear Bryan Fuller is a gay dude referencing a pair of star trek characters from deep space 9 who were entirely intended to have a relationship on screen before it got shut down by the notoriously homophobic showrunner and now fuller is making star trek as queer as it should have been this entire time

that tweet he made is definitely 'someone who didn't actually know what he was wading into past exactly what it read on the surface' to me

Like theres definitely a real bullying element to all this, like that genshin impact game has a pair of sworn brothers people like to draw making out cause 'sworn brothers' can be very winkwink in chinese culture but westerners see 'brothers' and think incest, so theres an obvious clash there, and teens dont know how to behave.

I bring it up cause the official twitter for the game retweeted ship art of them and... instead of getting mad at the devs people started trying to harass the artist, lol.

But at the same time dragging people who arent online enough to know what the gently caress any of this is is just weird and awkward, and is basically just intentionally stirring up the hornets nest. Like fuller did not sign up to get yelled at about which my hero academia ships are problematic.

There is no 'one group of people.' Its not like theres some big proship discord where everyone talks about how much they love childporn. Its just random pockets of people yelling at each other about a random variety of things because twitter is designed to get you to hate everyone around you. When you see terms like this its easy to think theres some organization to this, but there isnt whatsoever. Which is why people are just yelling at the worst versions of each other.

Some of those people are in the right, some arent, some are taking it way too seriously even if they have a point, some take it extremely seriously and are extremely wrong, and that goes for both sides.

That guy framing it as 'proship = pedo' is basically the same thing as the fuller thing, trying to drag people who dont know anything into their dumb internet culture war.

The word 'antis' and all the other associated jargon has been rendered useless as terminology, because every hyper-fragmented ultra-specific fandom sub-sub-sub-culture defines it differently. Sometimes those differences are small, sometimes they're major, sometimes they create mutually exclusive definitions, sometimes they mean things that have zero relation to any other use of the word outside of one single discord server. So when this spills onto twitter or whatever, an outsider will come at it thinking 'fandom culture' is one monolithic thing, apply the definition they have, and find it impossible to decipher what the gently caress is actually going on.

This isn't helped by two far more coherent internet subcultures - Kpop fandom and virtual youtuber fandom - both also using the word 'antis' to mean something completely different altogether!

The terminology is useless. The only way you're going to get any useful information is by asking a person what they specifically mean when they use a word.

I like when the fighting is more amateur than professional as a personal taste. Roger Ebert talked about how he liked the pool hall fight scene in Mean Streets because it felt real instead of staged. People are dumb and clumsy when it comes to beating people up.

Clumsy looking fight scenes are proper rare, probably because they're hard to choreograph convincingly, but its always great when they pull it off; the corridor scene in Old Boy really stands out because despite the silliness of the premise it still feels convincing that one dude could win against 30 mooks because of the messiness of it all.

I've always hated this kind of talk ever since it blew up with someone who was found to go be actually trying to get it on underage artists, managed to drag the blame of that into "people are harassing me bc I drew a Steven Universe character in a slightly different way", and way too much people didn't bother to even go to this person's tumblr page and scroll a few pages where she was replying to THOSE accusations, and when I was trying to show people that, got accused of being a vassal to those internet harassment sites despite being right there on the open.

Years of this poo poo building up to some of those dumbasses writing the vocabulary on how people speak and continuously pinning the blame on anyone on tumblr/curiouscat anons, imageboards and "fandom haters" over anything, no matter how dire, giving ideas to some of the most ghoulish of PR. I've seen some of the worst kinds of behaviors be constantly sidetracked with poo poo like that over and over again and I wish, I just wish, for One Goddamn Second, that these loving imbeciles would actually go "No, you weren't screamed at because you were mushing the wrong Barbie Dolls together, it was bc you DM slid underaged artists for poon and they leaked the DMs" for once.

Naaah that was always going to happen, the biggest possible change would be the use of particular wording. Framing bad personal conduct as trivial matters (because a portion of your base wrongly consider the behavior trivial), then framing all criticism as specifically criticism of that bad conduct, is the go to move for politicians who suck so much rear end they have multiple personal scandals at once.

See also "lockerroom talk" managing to overcome "alleged serial sexual assault" as the public narrative even among the everything else that fucker did.

yeah, and that's a lot of it. plus the issue of stuff that isnt morally objectionable but there's no where to put it where you can like, convalesce with people who signed up for it. making art where you explore heavier stuff to deal with your own baggage is pretty normal, but twitter is just a giant pile where some stranger you dont know sees 'this story has sexual assault in it.' no context for how its handled or why is there, just that it exists.

not even talking about fanfic here cause ive seen actual published authors or like, people making comics get yelled at for that too. making that stuff is normal, not wanting to see that stuff is normal, these two people are put in the same site where theyll stumble across each other randomly with no prior warning. its inevitably gonna lead to conflict even in a perfect world where no bad actors exist.
