Games thread!

Like, I'm not an anti, but a lot of what I hear about the gender stuff and roles is old enough or outdated enough commentary that I kinda don't know if I could ever get into it.

[(Anonymous)]

I initially was fine with fanart - and I am still, as long as it's about the show and universe itself. But seeing a bunch of lighter crossover art (like other fandom characters in the same situation, I think a specific one I saw was a MyHeroAcademia one where Toshinori was the old dude, which doesn't fit what we find out about either character) that isn't really trying to still go with the commentary or seeing huge youtube people play games based on it and "recreating it in real life" is all very... ew. I really feel like it's not one that you can do crossover work without diving into the social commentary it's about.

I don't know. I didn't feel this weirded out by fan content of, say, the Hunger Games. I mean, I kinda was, but less so with the surface-level crossovers. I think I was more amused by the lack of tact with the marketing then, so it might now just be I'm frustrated over the predictability of all this and how you can't expect a work like this to reach a big audience without it happening.

Saaaaaame.

Actually, same for the last two fandoms I fell into. I realise the older I get, the fewer other same-age and same-mindset fans there are likely to be, but still.

I really don't begrudge the younger fanbase their fun, or their terrible fic, or anything else (except the callout BS, natch), I just wish it didn't make me feel so old and crotchety, or so unwelcome.

Wow, you were early today! Thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

Just wanted to give thanks and a shout out to the secret maker for making my secret. Thank you.

And for everyone else, if it gets you watching the show, there is an episode with a young David Tennant in it and he has a wet and shirtless scene in it.

Yeah, I've heard it does the "fat, depraved gay dude" thing that used to be a cliche way back when.

[(Anonymous)]

Damn, I was just thinking of the whole "male protagonist gets the ability to use the women-only magic" stuff that doesn't seem like a commentary on gender roles and more like "the protagonist is special", but that too

(note: this may be more so a commentary on how shitty the older movie adapted stuff)

I watched Squid Game and it just wasn’t my cup of tea, but I think it’s depressing that so many students at my school dressed up in the jumpsuits and stuff for Halloween. I supervise lower elementary recess and all these little kids knew enough of the show to reference lines and scenes when they were playing games.

[(Anonymous)]

The crossover with more lighthearted shows always weirds me out.

[(Anonymous)]

Bwhahahahaha, honestly it's as good an explanation as any. I mean, the books themselves have plotholes and issues but when you look at the shows.... I love them! But coherent and consistent they are not. (Sometimes not even within a drama, let alone from one drama to another)

[(Anonymous)]

I got into a new fandom a few months ago and have been having a great time because most of the fans are lovely and their enthusiasm is wonderful, but boy do I feel old at times. None of these kids have heard of blocking tags and a small bunch seem to have made it their personal mission to harass anybody who writes/draws anything that they deem inappropriate for minors.

Funnily enough, my fandom has a light and fluffy canon with a few angsty moments, but a good chunk of the fan content is dark and depressing. It was bumming me out, so I started writing my own fluffy content because I found so little of it online.
