A brief public service announcement on grammar

[feotakahari]

A little piece of my soul dies every time you punctuate "she said" as such:

"This is an example sentence." She said.

Does bad grammar make you wince, FS? What convolutions and mutilations are most likely to make you backbutton?

Beard "activists"

[(Anonymous)]

Why are beards such a "thing" these days? I don't mean "why are they popular," as I'm aware that trends change all the time, but rather, why have they become a thing to make a big deal out of now?

My father and other male relatives have or had beards, and never made a big fuss about them. They never talked about them at all, much less put down guys who chose to be clean-shaven or tried to act like they were oppressed for having them.

Now, though... it's all "Real Men have beards!!!" "Real women like beards!" "What do you call a man without a beard? A woman!" and stuff like no shaving in November, and men who don't have facial hair are "pussies" and no woman should dare to prefer clean-shaven men. It's become such an obnoxious macho thing.

Anyone going on a journey?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm taking a trip this week for a school conference and I've got mixed emotions. Anyone else facing travel in the near future?

Steven Universe vs. Friendship is Magic

[(Anonymous)]

The insane backlash of the Steven Universe fans against the very notion of bronies "infiltrating" their program has convinced the guy behind Equestria Daily to scrap his plans to build a SU fansite.

They like to pretend they're better than bronies, but they're really not. They're every bit as insular, intolerant, and hateful to everyone that doesn't fit into their mold.

I just can't get over that these are grown-ass adults flipping out over children's cartoons.

What Motivates You? (fandom edition)

[(Anonymous)]

Besides the source material itself, what motivates you to produce fan-material?

Great fic? Terrible fic and you can do better? Meta? Artwork that begs a story? A story that begs artwork? TPB providing info or BTS stuff?

What motivates you?

Someone Needs a Pat on the Back

[(Anonymous)]

I'm on the first discussion board I've been on since my teens (over half a decade has passed) and enjoying it immensely. I went out in a burst of flames from my last fandom (well, more of a burst of flounce) because of other teens acting like jackass teens. And far worse, some people old enough to be my parents acting like jackass teens.

Anyhoo, today someone on my new board made a point of highlighting my spelling error and correcting it in their comment. And they were snotty about it. (If I get into specifics I might give myself away -- in general it's like a brief lapse of mind that makes you write "know" instead of "no".) I'm the second person they corrected today in that same rude manner.

I opened up a PM and told them their manner wasn't appreciated. Then I deleted that and started writing up a sarcastic response in the thread. In the end I looked at the poster's profile and sure enough, just a little younger than my mother. And I didn't post my comment, stepped back and took a deep breath.

TL;DR: I avoided a flame war over something stupid for the first time in my fandom career. But I still feel pissed at that poster and need people to congratulate me on acting like a grown-up. Help me, F!S?

Trigger Warnings

[(Anonymous)]

So, I know we've had this discussion before but someone just demanded a TW for character bashing on a kink meme. I mean even if you don't like character bashing, does that really warrant a TW?

I'm curious about TW on places like kink memes, which to me seem like places where you're more likely to find triggering stuff so it's a little like Buyer Beware. But then, I'm not triggered by anything and I think that avoidance probably isn't very helpful so I'm not really the target for TWs.

Do you think certain places can get away without TWs just by the nature of what they are?

St. Patrick's Day [TW for genocide, eliminationism, harsh language]

[(Anonymous)]

will post as 2nd comment

Midwest Folks (but especially Oklahoma)

[kaijinscendre]

How do you feel about these earthquakes?

I ask because we just had another small one (second in two weeks). I was putting up dishes so had my cabinet open. Three of my glasses shook out and broke. :(

Apparently Oklahoma now has the most earthquakes of any state in the US. Thanks Fracking.

Characters it seems everyone fangirls/boys over

[(Anonymous)]

But you don't.

What do you mean by trash?

[(Anonymous)]

What do people mean when they call something their trash ship? When did this start? And I don't know if this is related or not, but what is the Hydra trash party?

[(Anonymous)]

Y'all are kinda boring today, f!s. Show me some of your most amusing gifs!

Tracy Anderson Method

[(Anonymous)]

What is this? I heard little about it. I'd look it up, but nothing is really working for my at the moment. I'm surprised F!S is working for me.

I tried going on the website, but it's all wonky.

Idk, someone explain?

Songs with groups of people singing together?

[(Anonymous)]

Not exactly choirs. But like the end of The Hanging Tree https://youtu.be/F3hTW9e20d8

or this song https://youtu.be/rLoPDe2Au4o

Would love if they were in other languages!

Here is a subreddit called happycrowds as thanks. http://www.reddit.com/r/happycrowds/

[fscom]

Games thread!

What would you do if...

[(Anonymous)]

We have threads here sometimes like "if [scenario] what would you do?" For example "if you could ask a blind date only one question about themselves before you meet, what do you ask?" or "if your life were a sitcom, what role would you play?"

What's the funniest, most interesting, or otherwise favorite hypothetical question you've heard?

I'll start, so people can respond.

What Age Did You Start Masturbating?

[(Anonymous)]

And how weird were your early fantasies? Were they heavily fandom-influenced?

Re: What Age Did You Start Masturbating?

[vethica]

22. Gonna be the outlier here.

Also, I can't fap to fantasies. It's only fic or hentai that does it for me.

That Batgirl cover controversy

[(Anonymous)]

In case anyone is wondering, I'm referring to this: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/dc-comics-cancels-batgirl-joker-variant-at-artists-request

I'm feeling a little confused and alienated today because I kinda liked that cover, but literally every reasonable person I know hated it, and the only people who didn't, seem to be me and assholes.

I even read "The Killing Joke" and am aware of the fridging and the awful implications, and I *still* don't think the cover was that bad. I thought it was disturbing and effective. I'm ultimately okay with them pulling it, especially since the Batgirl writers and the artist himself spoke out, but...I don't know. I'm a feminist and I hate the Joker and I still thought the outrage was a little OTT. I'm honestly questioning myself now.

Idk I guess I just wanted to say it. Anyone else been following this?

Re: That Batgirl cover controversy

[caerbannog]

I'm not following the particular controversy but while the style is nice the cover has the kind of creepy connotations about the comics content that would have me decide not to buy that particular issue*. I can see how it would explode and feed back on itself.
