PSA📣 I'm no longer using this account.
I'm keeping it 'on' for 2 reasons:
Some friends haven't left and I haven't got anywhere else to find them.
If @revanchist_fun ever comes back please come find me, I miss you 💚
Take care all, you know where to find me ⤵️
@chucknob1et@lea_labryssal Because fiction should not be censored, not even the fiction one may find distasteful. Humans should be allowed to express themselves freely through fictional stories.
@bittercigs_ Depends on the creator and how much I agree with them/their politics tbh though largely DoTA/headcanon. Art belongs as much to the recipients as the creator. If they want to add after that's fun and cool but they're no more valid in that than any randomer with an A03 acct
@actualadultjd I've read it. There's a Jesus/Judas fic on A03 (or there was) that redefines "glory hole" quite explicitly. Apparently, the son of man has hands for more than just healing.
(Also my brain just rule 34'd that into A/b/o daddy/son homeschooled teacher/student squicky antibait)
@bauphomette I never said it wasn't? I said I found it in 2020 and it wasn't new to see those issues. Snape fantis had been on Tumblr for long enough before I joined in 2002 that I was warned and the SPN ship wars got vicious around the same time as the Obama v Romney election so 2008.
@bauphomette The HP fandom in the mid 00s. Snape antis. They raided the pro tags, anon hate, there was doxxing and suibaiting etcetc. Then the SPN ship wars kicked beyond ship war into violence and moralising about shipping, so by the time I found Hannibal in like 2020 it wasn't weird to me
@blueeyedstitch@hitthebookspost I felt like the "don't they know we're brothers?" crack was fair, but I troducing Becky just turned the fans of the show into its favourite punching bag. You had to be some kind of masochist to be a shipper and stuck with it after a while imo.
@blueeyedstitch@hitthebookspost Exactly. Kripke addresses it iirc in S2 commentary, he was with either Jared or Jensen and he was like "two guys in the back roads of America, no one else around... I can see why people would think..." (Read this as more of a tldr as it's nearly a decade since I watched it).
@hitthebookspost I am so amused at this. The pilot was barely cold and Wincest was the order of the day and stayed that way right through the s3-s6 ship wars with Destiel.
Why is their Hannibal fandom discourse about tagging top/bottom characters in fics? Am I weird coming from the Snarry fandom and early 00s Tumblr to do it automatically on all my fics so everyone can stay in their lane?
@FannibalJ@thisburie Ug= undergraduate
RLB=Radical Left Barbie
EDL= English Defence League (basically the militant arm of the British National Front/Nazis, comparable to the 'Proud Boys' in the USA)
@thisburie Me too! I even got into meatloaf v HSM discourse here once!😅
Yeah basically. They're antis with a kink. For me idgaf about his politics he's an actor not a politican- his job is to have cheekbones, evil to Americans accent and 'look good on a horse' - & he's very good at it.
@FannibalJ@thisburie Lucky you! I'm a pretty radical (supported Corbyn, didn't think he went far enough) and the Radical Left Barbie's (yup, they're a thing now!) are a nightmare.When I was an UG an RLB to organise an antiEDL march, and didn't think telling BIPOC folk who the EDL were was relavent 😤
@thisburie The guy is pushing 60 ffs. Same people who snap at antis for calling him peepaw or whatever tf went straight for the "Ew old cringe" like they missed him admitting Meatloaf dying "broke his heart" (scuse the shaking I was in the middle of a Medical Event) and ALL that implies
@FannibalJ@thisburie Yeah, a lot are. Basically think of the most extreme sterotype of '19F lefty bra-burning political lesbian who doesn't know shit about life' then see that in the context of Denmark where the centre is left of what Corbyn could even say in the UK (he's way left of Bernie Sanders)
