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?

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.
