That's a fair point, but I do think it's frustrating because Tumblr is basically the only space where a lot of fandoms congregate so it's not like there's a good alternative in many cases. Alternatively, it's also sometimes the only place female fans can go where they're the majority (at least in some of my fandoms).

This. This needs reiterating

And then you have me, the female fan who stubbornly returns to reddit time after time because there my fandom has an active discussion-based community, only to be continuously exhausted and disgusted by the amount of ingrained sexism in the average reddit user.

I keep going back, keep fighting it. :\

What fandom?

(Anonymous) 2014-07-02 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
One Piece.

I also go to reddit for the hockey fandom, but that community is actually populated by inclusive and mature individuals. Never had a problem there.

Ouch.

There's not any decent community for One Piece?

(Anonymous) 2014-07-02 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
nayrt

It's hard finding one for the anime community in general, really.

Eh... maybe I am just bad at finding the nice communities. There are a ton of forums but most of them have a really unfortunate obsession with power levels and boobs. Maybe it's the demographics of the English-speaking fandom (teenage boys?), who knows.

And the community at reddit is all right, good things do come out of it. It's just that sometimes things like this happen instead: http://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/28svxo/can_we_get_over_how_oda_depicts_women_already/

Yeah, this. It's not that people are being stubborn about it. It's that conversations are a fun part of fandom, and there's not really anywhere active to have those anymore.

I miss the idea of just saying nice things about people's fanworks. Reblogs are swell, and good for exposure, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong if I write something about the thing under a reblog.

tell me about it. fucking shitbrains on tumblr get so fuckin touchy when you comment on their content in any way that's not brainlessly and exclusively positive
