Games thread!

[(Anonymous)]

ha!

that sounds like a fun AU tbh

[(Anonymous)]

Perfect image choice, OP!

[(Anonymous)]

You are so close to getting it, so very, very close.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah, very much so. I blame the AO3 crowd for that.

[(Anonymous)]

I suppose it all depends how efficient their digestive system is. Especially when you take into account energy based superpowers too.

[(Anonymous)]

I blame twitter and the easy access it provided to professional content creators and actors. Closing the distance between the creator and the fans was good in some ways - more accountability for lack of diversity, for one - but terrible in others.

One of those negatives was that people grew used to an online environment where you could directly tweet at people to demand what you wanted to see, and sometimes you got what you wanted. They then classed fanfic writers in the same category, and felt entitled to demand if them as well as they didn't see them as any different to the paid professionals.

Add to that the increase in performative morality, an increase in right-wing activity, and an increase in younger audience members (who have less general awareness of grey areas and are more primed to follow the popular crowd) and this is what you get.

[(Anonymous)]

The opposite for me. Unhealthy situations and revenge is what I look for in my Cnovels and Cdramas. However I do hate when the retaliation is too cold hearted. Torturing rivals is not ok no matter how unsymphathetic they're.

[(Anonymous)]

Can you explain this? I’m just a casual fanfic reader and I feel like I’m missing some context. What exactly are AO3 users doing that you don’t like?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't like it either. There's always been some level of entitlement, but the fact that people can easily hop onto Twitter or whatever to bombard their favorite creators with what they want to see or don't want to see just made things worse.

[(Anonymous)]

As far as the creators being accessible on Twitter goes, fans can lobby for whatever they like, but there's no obligation to give it to them.

Conversely, there sure are a lot of creators (specifically writing teams for TV shows) who love the adulation and likes and shares and shit. They feed off that energy and encourage it by interacting with fans to stoke their egos. They're perfectly welcome to use social media anonymously or ignore fans, but they don't, so I feel zero pity for them.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you the anon who just likes to shit on AO3 all the time, or do you have a point to this?
