F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff. If you want me to link your thread up here, drop a link in the first comment!

List of threads:

Favorite FSers
Your diehard fandoms
NSFW confession thread
Topics you wish FS would stop wanking about
What do you want FS to talk about more?
(Pan)fandom discussion post
General opinions
Fapping material?
Random rants

Re: But really, what are your thoughts on yaoi?

It's a pretty wide genre. I like some of its subgenres, others not so much but they're pretty easy to avoid.

What I can't stand is slash fans that keep judging yaoi from their high horse. As if slash wasn't full of top/bottom preferences and other clichés. And let's not forget A/O/B and its popularity in slash fandoms.

Yeah, but like .... A/B/O isn't slash. It's yaoi lite.

As a slash fan I fucking hate it.

Eh, no.

A/B/O is a mixture of many old slash tropes (pon farr/sexpolen is now heat! The bottom is just not the nice/delicate/wobbie one, is a submissive omega!) with a small extra (knots) and most people who like it aren't into yaoi at all.

What world do you live in?

The uke practically IS the submissive omega in a fuckload of old BL/yaoi. You sound really young, like you haven't seen or read much old yaoi and you think the new stuff is representative of the genre.

Might I remind you that self-lubricating anuses, rape is love, and sex pollen did exist in old school yaoi? Like, a lot. A/B/O really just is the new generation's attempt at the same lame tropes.

Yeah, agreed. As someone who has been in both yaoi and slash fandoms, there's no fucking difference. Like, MAYBE in yaoi fandoms you'll have more "who is the seme/uke" and are in slightly more danger of the "uke" being made a woobie... but the difference is so slight that it's probably negligible because people do tops vs bottoms in slash fandoms, too.

Yaoi, or shall we say BL, is hardly a "genre" on its own except that it is m/m. Especially since a lot of the fandom comes from ships that aren't even from things that are officially yaoi in the first place.

Honestly as a slash fan I can't stand A/B/O and I have no idea why or how it became so popular.
