people who self identify as antis are people opposed to the very idea of horniness.

people who are called antis by others just don't like pedophilia

If it were possible for either side to be reasonable, “pro” would be comfortable exploring problematic relationships. Problematic being anything from like "formerly bad person reforms and grows before a relationship forms" or “I just really want to smooch Kefka the clown baddie from FF6” to like “incest/underage content”. Often ends up being criticized for having adult people enter a fandom for a children’s show or whatever and doing a lot of untagged porn of the characters, who are often the same age as the younger fans of the property, in the age demo the media is targeting.

Meanwhile “anti” would be opposed depicting problematic relationships. This nominally is about concerns around "normalizing” unhealthy or dangerous relationships through the medium of fiction. But it quickly spirals into poo poo as everyone’s standard of what is acceptable to depict and what is problematic goes deeper and deeper. For a lot of people it might stop at incest or underage content, or posting that in inappropriate spaces untagged. For others it starts diving into pretty extreme and often sex-negative territory or just getting really loving weird about normal poo poo, like the Twitter Main Character from a few days ago who thought having bare feet in front of children was sick fetish poo poo and you were a rapist for doing that.

a good rule of thumb is that anyone who unironically calls themselves a "anti" or "pro" shipper are people who are 2000% too online malajusted weirdos who need to get a hobby :v:

speaking of sarah z, and im sure she touches on it in the video, is that it was insanely wild seeing angry Certain Kinds of people whenever she uploaded a video... those sorts basically said shes a pedophile sex cultist Evil Person who laughs at suicides and burns fan works for the heinous crimes of uh, thinking fan merch with the pink triangle was in poor taste or like, talking about bbc sherlock???? :psyduck:

people basically made stuff up about her to make her look like the worst human alive and then promptly sat in their echo spheres on twitter and repeated it over and over while going if you're not with us you're against us... they're completely disconnected from reality!
People always wonder why big content creators end up being horrible people. I think I'm getting to the position of "because the only people capable of sustaining the job need to eventually be able to completely disregard other human beings' feelings".

Like there's literally a person in that QRT with "anti-harassment" in her bio yelling at Shannon for being anti-gay because she talked poo poo about socks

Why is this a thing

It's like "if you're not with us, you're against us" but for online shipping wars encompassing... the entirety of fan fiction? And through vague internet rumors and yelling at each other, one side means you're a Nazi and the other means you're a pedophile, and both sides mean you condone bullying and killing children.

A lot of people have tried to answer, but "someone who dislikes [thing]" is the only conclusion I could take from it. When she was attempting to explain it I got the distinct feeling that not even Sarah really knows. Pretty sure it's used in a way to be vague and meaningless on purpose, or something.

in vtuber circles, "anti" tends to reference the types who are virulently and irrationally angry at the very idea of vtubers and can't just leave it be. It often goes hand in hand with the concept of a woman keeping her identity secret online, and leads to groups working to doxx and ruin them for having the temerity to be popular women on the internet. This has happened to multiple prominent vtubers, including Mano Aloe from Hololive who was doxxed and people she knew harassed by extension, leading to her retiring within two weeks of debuting. I don't know if it's similar elsewhere, but the types to harass the voice actors of a character they dislike certainly fits the bill.

Abrams’ quote on the dogshit “””respresentation””” in RoS is profoundly embarrassing, holy moly.

I thankfully didn’t even see anyone talk about that First Openly Gay Disney Character in Jungle Cruise, maybe people are finally learning to not promote that poo poo even if they’re making fun of it because it is beyond pathetic at this point.

Jungle Cruise was delayed quite a bit with reports of reshoots and the rumor was that they got some pushback on the brother part because he originally spent the movie acting all effeminate and then the punchline was that he's straight.

Not necessarily, anti here is basically a back-ported loan word. In Japanese and I'm pretty sure Korean too it's an English loan word which basically means "hater" so it could have come from the K-pop crowd who are often involved in fanfic stuff as well.

this vid kinda misses the mark when its trying to explain class s stuff, a lot of the clips she shows are from shows that dont really fit it and while the sister/onee-sama thing got its start in class s stuff its pretty clearly evolved beyond it given that of the modern examples she shows literally all of them end with explicit relationships and/or marriage. and there's very little information on what class s actually is, its origins, etc, like the fact that it started from fiction written by feminist lesbians and was briefly banned in pre-ww2 jaapn. the historys way more complex than just 'why girls no kiss'

kids feel lost and confused in modern society (understandable), there are very few 'safe' spaces for them online besides the ones they create themselves and this makes them uncomfortable, (understandable) they invent reasons why people who want two jojos characters to gently caress are actually the problem (not understandable.) like its hard to exist online at this point without running across weird porn occasionally, especially if you follow a bunch of random fanartists, but so long as theyre saying their account is 18+ it isnt really the fanartists fault for posting it to twitter, the issue is twitter showing you random poo poo you didnt ask for and basically applying no age gating or safety controls whatsoever. but it makes them uncomfortable so they lash out.

heck even if it isnt outright porn, its reasonable for a kid to be made uncomfortable by, idk, a weird power dynamic in a romantic relationship, but its also reasonable to want to explore that in fiction. and theres very little effort made to teach kids how to curate their own experiences online so they dont know how to stop it other than yelling at the thing they dislike to go away. this is also why the culture of 'here is a list of all my mental illnesses and triggers' and yelling at boyfriend dungeon for having a bad thing in it exists, there's a generation of nerdy kids who are so turbo online at all times that theyve literally never learned how to just walk away from something or brush it off.

and then ofc you have a bunch of weirdo adults who infest those circles and make things worse for some weird imagined social power.

I involuntarily said "What?!" out loud when the first notes of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" started. Somehow that was more unexpected to me than the racist housewife bit, although I think Todd basically came away with the right take on that -- intentions were probably not bad, but execution was severely lacking.

It's really hard watching any footage of Karen from that era though. I was glad to mostly only be listening to this one.

Thinking about the "irredeemable media", it feel like a continuation of the need that a lot of teenagers/young adults have to attach moral vice to the things they don't like. It used to be that they would complain about how someone or something was a "sellout" or a "phony". The concept of "sellout" has really receded as you have more independent creators (but also where even the hyper-independent one-person operation has to shill for NordVPN or whatever). So now you have white kids in the suburbs talking about how Hamilton is irredeemably racist.

You know that actual vulnerable people were just thrown into jail on bullshit charges of murder and satanic ritual abuse right? The West Memphis 3 weren't released until 2010 and even then had to agree to no lawsuits against the state for imprisoning them on no evidence before they'd be released. In the 80s and 90s you had plenty of cases during that time when a kid was really obviously abused by their parents and then the cops would just make up a story about their babysitters or teachers being satanists and just throwing those people in jail instead.

Yeah Gygax didn't get materially harmed because he was the one making money. Same as always.
