Fandom complaints

Complain and rant about stuff going on in your fandoms to your hearts' content!

I hate all the Overwatch event skins they have released so far. :(

Re: Fandom complaints

I'm part of an older fandom that isn't that active anymore, but there is this super prolific author who writes about my two favorite ships and tropes, and publishes at least one or two fics per week.

There is only one tiny, little problem: their writing is awful!

And it's not just the fact that their grammar and spelling is atrocious, there's also continuity failures (sometimes within the same short chapter or even the same paragraph), thesaurus abuse, the cringiest purple prose, and a tendency to write every character as if they were particularly childish teens.

I had to stop tracking the tags for those two ships because out of every twenty new fics there might be one or two that aren't theirs and I was tired of getting my hopes up just to be disappointed.

Why oh why is m-preg (and also omegaverse) so damn popular in Chinese BL novels. For someone who hates that shit, it's like navigating a minefield when searching for new reading material.
Doesn't help that when you try asking for recs, one part of the answers is people reccing things where they admit they don't even know if that kind of content is included and the other part is people going "this has m-preg/omegaverse but you still should ~totally~ read it because it's so great" or "aww yes I didn't like it at first either but now I love it so you should just try it uwu!". No. Go away.

Still sick of the TLJ wank. Just stopppp.

Re: Fandom complaints

So recently I got really into a new pairing. They have the exact kind of chemistry and dynamic that usually makes for a popular ship (two attractive dudes who are good friends, people describe them as having a "bromance", they have entertaining banter, give each other a hard time but you know they love each other, etc.). It's kind of an obscure fandom so I knew there wouldn't be much fic, if any, but I figured if there was any, surely it would be about this ship. Nope. There's a small handful of fic, but it's all about an entirely different pairing.

Pairing #1 is a white guy and a black guy, Pairing #2 is two white dudes. People talk about racism in fandom and I used to naively think that surely there was some other reason why certain pairings weren't popular and others were. But over and over and over again, it keeps happening. Pairings that have the type of character dynamics that you know if they were both white, would be massively popular, but there's just nothing.

It's depressing. :(

it's not so much a rant but the new season of voltron drops this friday and i'm gonna sit back and wait for the wank to unfold.

it's gonna be great.

More of a general complaint, but the fact that so much of romantic media/fandom aimed at women who are into men is focused on the "Alpha Male" just leaves me cold. It doesn't help that "alpha male" always just seems to be code of abusive asshole.

I want more news about the new Tiger & Bunny! We don't even know if they're returning to the same characters or what.

Do you ever think about how much exercise you get at a water park? Everything fun is at the top of 500 flights of stairs.

Why is it, that even when you have insurance, it sucks?

[(Anonymous)]

:( They won't pay for anything until I spend $1000. :(

Re: Why is it, that even when you have insurance, it sucks?

[(Anonymous)]

Because contemporary American capitalism is a ruthless machine of financial exploitation, and because they can get away with it

Re: Why is it, that even when you have insurance, it sucks?

[greghousesgf]

my car was smashed by a drunk teenage sex worker in a monster truck, I had insurance and she didn't, she hit and run, she hid in the bushes from the cops and lied about everything in court (to the point of contradicting herself) and I won but since she had an illegal job they couldn't garnish her wages. I didn't get a fucking penny out of the insurance company.

What are your favorite board and/or party games?

Clue

Kind of inspired by #7 - RPF question

[(Anonymous)]

How do you guys feel about RPF? I remember years ago it was considered morally wrong and anyone that shipped it was a horrible person, and then not too long ago I was seeing comments like "oh, it's no big deal, nobody's outraged over RPF anymore, there's too much other stuff to get upset about".

I mean, I get thinking it's creepy especially when you involve real life spouses and kids cause these are actual people who can potentially stumble across this stuff, but then I see people saying "oh, it's not really about THEM, it's about their public persona, no one knows what they're ACTUALLY like when they're not in front of a camera/on a stage" and...I don't know.

I'm just not sure what the general consensus is anymore. Thoughts?

What discountinued products do you miss?

Our aircon died. It is 97 degrees outside. I've got two fans on the cat and me, and we're still both miserable.
