Was fandom always mostly for porn?

[(Anonymous)]

I've always felt that while porn and slash and taboo stuff was always a huge part of fandom, it used to be more meta centric and con centric and stuff until the last few years. But a while back, I found an article talking about the Star Trek fandom and how the whole purpose was Spock/Kirk slash.

Which got me wondering... is it actually just that the fandom I was in was so meta heavy? (Harry Potter, BTW. Which is ironic because at the time I thought we were way too focused on porn, but no, as far as fandoms go we were practically puritans.*) Has fandom always largely been about porn over meta and speculation? Or does it just vary from place to place?

*Although arguably, it was more that HP fandom was so huge, it was easier to find more meta-centric and less porn-centric spaces.

I think fandom has always been a mix of both. Still is.

Re: Was fandom always mostly for porn?

[(Anonymous)]

I think it might be because the largest portion of fic creators and readers are growing up. So, they are becoming more sexual and such.

Re: Was fandom always mostly for porn?

[nonnymouscawitz]

It depends on which part of the fandom you're hanging out in. Every fandom I've ever been in has both, but if you surround yourself with the right people you only ever see that side.

Re: Was fandom always mostly for porn?

Actually, according to people on here, porn isn't allowed any more because the fucking kids are stupid babies and fandom is Puritan now, so.

Re: Was fandom always mostly for porn?

[(Anonymous)]

Something to keep in mind is that when people talk about fandom, they generally talk about their personal experiences. So that guy saying the whole point of ST fanfic was for Spock/Kirk porn might only be basing that on the fact that that's why he got into it. Someone else might beg to differ.

That's also why "the story of the fandom I was in" books fall apart. People read them and have no idea how said person was in their fandom.

Re: Was fandom always mostly for porn?

I remember some really kinky Weiss Kreuz fanfics from back in the day, we're talking 2002. That was back when we had angelfire and geocities, and people would warn (advertise) for slash, and if you had you're own personal page you have a lot of TL;DR that you would have to read very carefully so you would know to click Aya's bellybutton and it would take you to the pr0n. Where you would read beautiful purple prose about Omi's unrequited love for Ken, with maybe a story about Duo sucking off Heero Yui linked somewhere.

So yeah, as far as I'm concerned, fandom has always been about porn.

What's something weird that you dislike people for?

[(Anonymous)]

Weird or uncommon things only.

e.g. disliking someone for being a vegan hipster who does crossfit and won't stop talking about it, or because they're anti-vaxx and kick small children are common and don't count

Who are the most annoying video game characters?

Specific or general.

Weekend Plans

[kaijinscendre]

I have no parties or celebrations to attend, so I am going to spend this weekend relaxing as much as possible. I want to try and make a GIFset of something. But tomorrow night will be dedicated to recreating a mixed drink I had when I saw CA:CW (called The Winter Soldier). I got all the ingredients, I just have to figure out the ratios (or ratios I like).

What are your plans for this (three day for some) weekend?

Mansplaining debate

[(Anonymous)]

I'm wondering if guys maybe have a point about the term mansplaining. I mean, who get's to decide if a term is offensive? It's supposed to be the people the term is used against, right? and even if it can be a legitimate term or had it's roots as a legitimate term, if it makes a group of people feel silenced or under attack, don't we have to listen to them and maybe reconsider using the word?

Words and phrases with meanings that are no longer obvious

[(Anonymous)]

I just saw the word "bigwig" in a post on tumblr. Kind of a funny word, because I guess it comes from the times when important people wore large fancy wigs, but no one wears those any more.

Another is "hang up [the phone]" on someone. Most landlines are cordless and even the ones that have cords usually sit on a desk/table, rather than being mounted on the wall, so you just put the receiver down, instead of hanging it up.

Can you think of any more?

ignorant sex/anatomy question

[(Anonymous)]

Those of you who have vaginal sex--just how stretchy is your vagina? Is it really possible to take a super-long penis? Like 12"/30 cm or more? Even if it stretches that far, don't you have internal organs in the way?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.

Friend Problem

[(Anonymous)]

You know how sometimes you're friends with someone only because you go to school together? So, there's someone I've known for a few years. We went to the same school (elementary-college). But after high school, we talked maybe a couple of times a year. I didn't really try to keep the friendship since it was always a casual thing to me. Like, I don't know her birthday and we literally texted twice this year. Honestly, it's because we have nothing in common and I don't care if we stop speaking.

Apparently, she thinks we're best friends. I found out from my sister (our little sisters are in the same school) that she's getting married and wants me as a bridesmaid. My family insists that I do it. But it's too awkward! I didn't even know she was dating anyone! She wants to meet tomorrow to talk and I'm dreading it but I've decided to be honest.

That was really long, but anyone have any advice? Have you been in a situation where someone valued the friendship more than you or vice-versa?

So... Johnny Depp

[(Anonymous)]

I swear to God, I thought he was on something the last couple of times I saw him on Graham Norton (November 2015 and May 2016), so yeah, I thought drug and/or alcohol problems. I hadn't ever thought about him in the context of domestic abuse, but I'm also not as surprised as I feel like I should be.
