theres this one tumblr post ive seen talking about that phenomenon but w fiction writing that I think about often

Yeah like it’s so bad when it’s a small niche ship and we go to look it up to see ship posts and then a bunch of the posts are just “ewwww X shippers exist???? They’re all bad and disgusting for the following reasons!!” Like man I’m trying to think about them falling in love, why are u doing this 😭

Ah I see… maybe I was just insulated from it because we weren’t all crammed into these open air panopticons of social media lol

Surely the himejoshi will be very happy to read about their fav girlieblob being sexually tortured!!!! 🥰

OTP:True is a wonderful tag search option of course, but it really will slice out vast chunks of entirely properly tagged fic!!!! You can't rely on it! Especially since it's good to tag all the pairings in a fic! Just in case! I do wish there was a "Side pairings" category

But even then, sometimes it's not the focus of the fic but it does REMAIN quite important Like if something was tagged with "Minor Blorbo/Skrunkly" because it wasn't the focus, but it was actually the endgame twist, then I don't think "minor" necessarily works there

I think in many cases that fics with multiple pairings where the others are just side pairings mentioned need a more standardized tagging system Like they SHOULD be tagged, particularly in case of NOTP, but I think a "Mentioned Blorbo/Skrunkly" or "Minor Blorbo/Skrunkly" is best

i can't stand the "centering men" argument when it's not about real men like i guarantee no real actual men feel "centred" by fujoshi whump fics

If you shipped a "bad ship", you could just stay in your forum and sometimes it wasn't even the same username as your posts on other forums Now everyone posts on main, and the panopticon of shipping police will drag you for everything you've ever shipped

It used to be you could just not add a Guestbook to ur site, and you didn't have to see any of the bullshit You could stay in forums, or LJ communities, and even if there was infighting, it was usually about OTHER SHIT, and not like... the entire concept of shipping

Like I want to put my discourse hat away very badly I really do I just wanna post about stupid fandom shit but I have to curate blocks so that random 19 yos don't show up to tell me to commit for the crime of wanting a fictional 30 year old man to kiss a fictional 40 year old man

Like I only talk about it because it's INESCAPABLE! I can't post about my ships or shows without someone in replies or QRTs being like "EW YOU SHIP [PAIRING] YOU SHOULD BE ON A LIST" or "DNI IF YOU WATCH THAT SHOW, ITS PROBLEMATIC AND UR A FUCKIN FREAK"

I know it seems like I "like" wank, but I genuinely do not I wish with all my little fandom heart that I'd never heard of shipwars, flaming, anti/proship or ANY OF THAT I just wish I could scroll a TL and find fun cute sexy things about blorbos fuckin and kissin and NOTHING ELSE

100% It’s always “you say we have X number of fics but when I apply filters to get rid of the WEIRD stuff there’s barely any, so u CANT say we have a lot!” Like yeah wow I can’t imagine why ppl wouldn’t want to write for ppl like you 🫩

Like what do you care if A/B is popular? You ship C/D!!!! What’s the problem, and how is it even a problem to you!? So A/B has 500 fics, and C/D has 200 fics? So? I’m not seeing the problem? Just don’t read them?

I can ALMOST understand antis of a rival ship that’s their NOTP Like oh okay you think A and B are soulmates so it makes sense you are squicked by A/C However The recent trend of ppl getting mad a whole other pairing is more popular that theirs is just baffling to me

this actually applies to any image you upload btw, idc if its a photo of your lunch or your cat or a screenshot or a meme. ‼️ ADD ALT TEXT ‼️ ITS SO EASY TO NOT BE ABLEIST

kind of miss that Pacific Rim era when every ship was getting crossovers where they were Drift Compatible I'm not normally a crossover AU fan but that was pretty sweet

You're so right but now all I can think of is this ad ahahahaha
