    Almost all complaints about shipping/‘problematic’ fiction are conflating disgust with morality

    ie ‘if a thing evokes feelings of disgust, it’s objectively bad’

    Because ‘disgust’ is a feeling, it’s not objective.

    This is why the same tropes can be described ‘incest’ or ‘ped0ph1l1a’ when applied to one ship, yet perfectly acceptable when applied to another: it’s all about the personal feelings of the viewer.

    I think *feeling disgusted* is antis’ moral compass

  • Also they only concern themselves with easy targets. It’s more fun to bully some individual on the internet than it is to get called a liberal snowflake for saying that a beloved movie from a major studio is being kinda bigoted.

  • Hey so your girlfriend got put into a fandom and um, they kinda. Yeah they made her the Mean Lesbian Friend. Yeah it's entirely because she's the only girl who's not overtly caring or kind. Sorry. Also they-- yeah she's characterized entirely as a wingman for the popular gay ship. Sorry again

  • Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

  • “No I can’t come out tonight I’m sobbing about this entomologist’s heartfelt plea for someone to care about an endangered moth”

  • This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.

  • [Image description: text from a section titled On Being Endangered: An Afterthought that says:

    Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.

    We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]

    But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?

    I was so inspired by this I made it into a piece of art for a final in one of my courses for storytelling in conservation

    “ewwww stop shipping illegal ships.”

    ok then, maybe stop making illegal death threats. y’know, the thing that actually violates the law?

  • 👀🍵

  • full offense but none of you would have ever survived fanfiction.net in 2009

  • remember when writers had to be all like:
    “omg omg lemon starts HERE”

    y’all are lucky that ao3 has tags and filters you can set

  • Sometimes shit was marked “lemon” and it’d just be them making out, and sometimes they’d just start pissing on each other

    No rules, no laws, you took your life into your hands opening fics

  • A/N: this contains SLASH, that means TWO MEN, if that makes you uncomfy, DON’T READ!

    A/N: please don’t sue me, o anime overlords, I’m not making any money off of this! I’m just a broke student! I don’t have any money!

    A/N: I totally wrote this while high off 10 Red Bulls wheeeeeee!!!!!

    A/N: COMMENT if you want me to continue the next chappy!!!

  • No, no, no


    remember when there’d be interactions with the author and the characters?

    InuYasha: I don’t get why I have to be here for this

    A/N: Because it was in your contract!!1!1 *revs chainsaw*

  • god those were lawless times.

  • …I’m fucking SWEATING

    this is literally giving me flashbacks

  • Flash forward to 2022 and there are people who read all 100 tags, the spoilery summary, the initial fic note AND the new update note reiterating not JUST possibly triggering content but chapter-specific warnings about content—

    AND THEY STILL COMPLAIN IN THE COMMENTS

    Physician, heal thyself 😩


    And never time travel to the early aughts. You’re weak and would not survive the winter.

  • as if any of yall could have fucking survived the fucking yahoo groups

  • while you’re still checked in to the hot take hotel, know that “you can benefit from systems of oppression without wanting to, because these are systems much larger than any individual” does not mean “you are inherently oppressing other people through your presence and also by virtue of being alive.” spread the second message and you should go to hell for that

  • I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you hate a character solely because of a ship/ships, you're a childish fuck who needs to log off the internet and go touch grass. It's so annoying to see some of my favorite characters either reduced to who they're paired with or demonized because of said pairing. Fans really do take the fun out of shipping, especially on Tumblr and TikTok. And what gets me is that y'all aren't only loud with that bullshit, but you're wrong with it too! Like, damn, so and so, which, let's be real, is usually a girl, being shipped with the main character really lodged a stick up your ass, huh? If you don't like him or her or whoever, that's fine! If you don't like them because of shipping, stop making that everyone else's problem because I'm sick of seeing my faves personalities twisted and diminished just because you take shipping way too seriously.
