Current trends that annoy you

[(Anonymous)]

go go gadget

Re: Current trends that annoy you

Yes.

How ironic and cynical some fans try to play off their interests.

Just because something is guilty pleasure doesn't mean you have to ironically enjoy it. Calling yourself trash is tiring, friend.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

[(Anonymous)]

Calling others trash is tiring, too. Bet if we could get rid of one, we'd get rid of the other along with it.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

Good lord, yes, this. Trying to put on "too cool" airs just sounds exhausting, and people who do that tend to come off rather obnoxious a lot of the time. Just own up to the stuff you like, no matter how goofy or cheesy it is.

As an anime fan, I could do without seeing every other fan post that "Anime was a mistake" Miyazaki macro in response to every slightly stupid gag in a show from the current season.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

I don't understand the "trash" trend at all, honestly.

Thinking anything a little risqué is "creepy" or "gross". OK, grandma.

The fannish trend of redefining pedophilia so broadly that it includes pairings between two adult characters is really annoying.

If age gaps squick you, that's fine. Own it, and avoid fics or art about it, and let us all move on with your life.

But don't try to shame other people because they are reading about consenting adults who happen to have more of an age gap than you, personally, find acceptable.

"Protecting victims" as a must-do priority in fandom. This is why people get away with doxxing, suicide encouragement, and spreading rumors like "this author is a pedophile" because they write for a ship with an age gap.

Having to find some kind of moral justification for disliking a ship/character. Dammit, go dislike a thing all you want, but stop pretending that you're better than everyone else who likes it for some inane reason.

Also, people insisting that characters who don't present as 100% masculine/feminine must be trans and if you disagree you're transphobic. Do those people even know what a headcanon is?

Having to be reachable ALL TIME, EVERYWHERE less you want people complaining, worrying, or sometimes even miss jobs/opportunities.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

[(Anonymous)]

People claiming to be triggered when they're really squicked.

(Do I want to read a fic where Luke and Leia are Totally Doing It? Nope. Will it leave me trying to breathe deeply and distract myself in order not to have a panic attack? No.)

tumblr's ridiculous standards for what comprises "pda" and the whiny bastards who demand every post that has even a mention of liking someone or being in a relationship be tagged #pda for the sake of, I guess, paper-skinned aroaces who can't stand to see anything regarding relationships. (and that's not even getting into the homophobic aspect of adding "warning" tags to sfw pictures of gay couples...)

seriously, check the #pda tag on tumblr, I feel sorry for kids growing up to think any kind of affection warrants a warning

Re: Current trends that annoy you

Characters or pairings branded as "pure" and "wholesome". Usually they are the kind of characters that are nice and the kind of pairings where they are very affectionate, a fluff-fest basically. I like those characters and I like those pairings, but being branded "pure" usually means they can't do anything bad, or morally dubious, or often even unintentionally harmful. And the pairings certainly have to be the "epitome of healthiness"(tm).

It's so limiting. Like. What if these two people in that "pure" pairing just wouldn't work together? They're nice people. They love each other. But the relationship doesn't work?

I feel some of these characters become so bland, just so people can shout "omg my innocent child" at them.

This is the first time I'm in a fandom where I've been on a ship branded as "pure" and like a few of them "wholesome" characters and it's driving me nuts.

Claiming the trans label (or one of its currently trendy made up cousins) for being only the tiniest bit gender stereotypes non-conforming.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

[(Anonymous)]

I realize you mean fandom trends, but I'm going to take a moment to talk about how mad I am that wide-legged pants are back. Pant legs I can stick my head through are NOT CUTE.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

Trans headcanons. I wish they'd go away and we could just go back to genderbends.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

[(Anonymous)]

Headcanons being SUPER SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Maybe I'm weird, but I always assumed headcanons were just kind of fun speculating on stuff, fill in blanks, stuff that's pretty obviously not canon but you'd like, and that it was fine if you had multiple contradictory ones.

Now it seems like if someone has a contradictory headcanon you need to get out the ritual dueling pistols.

- Calling yourself "trash" because you love something.

- Calling literally everyone a "cinnamon roll."

- Tweeting celebs that their your Mom/Dad/Son.

- "Protect (insert character) at all costs". Particularly tired of seeing this line used for characters that have HUGE fanbases (e.g., Steve Rogers) that don't actually need protecting.

Ship wars disguised as social justice, especially the "everything is racist, misogynist or pedophilia (except the ships I like)" variety.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

That "Don't like, don't read" is no longer a thing.
