F!S ANON MEME

Figured it was about time we had one. You know what to do. (:

(and if you don't, there's always google.)

THIS

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I agree

Just like what you like. A character who is within the lines of cliche can still be a pretty good character. You can start the reclamation yourself.

Same.

Hai I slash pretty boys regardless of how they act in real life canon or wherever because it's hot and it gets me off.

I do the same with pretty girls, and people who are hot together.

Get the fuck off your het high horse, right some yourself, start a comm, and start the trend. Till then fuck off

I'm not complaining. XD

this.

THIS. Grell only gets noticed so much because of how gay he acts towards Sebastian.

I get the feeling it's because the series is a little dated. :/ Most people want to watch OMG TEH BISHOUNENS!!11.

I feel your pain, even though I'm not a fan. At least I've never been on 4Chan and have heard of it?

But that's never kept anyone from fangirling characters like Mikami, has it? He's batshit and kills as many innocent people in a fashion that's just as hilarious, but because Death Note has a bigger fandom and he's hot, people love him.

Trust me, there's more there than you realize. I believe the internet is the last anthropological frontier, and fandom's a huge part of that. Complex social interaction, tradition, taboo, we have it all!

(Captcha is "More kittens!" Yes please.)

kamina was actually one of the least appealing characters in the entire series, for me.

I like her design.

I just wish her box art wasn't so ugly though. Ugh, and that vacant look.

THIS

And is it just me, or does the term "PoC" sound offensive to anyone else?

can't there just be something that doesn't bring race into it at all

you're either not white or you're not "of color"

neither of these is a monolithic group and yet everyone acts like they are

(but it actually sounds like a disease -- something similar to pox)

THIS.

I dont see why not talking to her and letting her know that. There's a limit to everything.

I fucking hate when entire fandoms have an OTP

I almost never ship that pairing.

.-.

Grell is quite possible the most annoying character EVER. Goddamn. Half the reason I stopped watching the show--the other half being that it was just a big pile of bore.

Copperbadge is female? Explains his complete asexuality then.

Well, so are pretty much all the rest of the cast at different times in the series, and they're pretty well-liked. :\

I think it just has to do with certain associations people both outside and inside fandom make.
For example: I've got a friend outside fandom who think that ALL fandom is nothing but 'simpering obessive nerds, ala Trekkies' {I'm quoting her verbatim).
Meanwhile, it's not terribly good IN fandom- say you like slash, for example, and you're lumped into the obnoxious slash!fangirl catagory.

It's like you can't win either way. I don't make a point of my being involved in any fandom unless someone else brings it up, first.

It's because they are your friends and they love you and want to encourage you to keep writing and getting better.

*does it myself*

I really liked the new Star Trek movie but I'm really scared to get into fandom because I've never seen the original series. I wish there could be a separate fandom based solely on the movie. Because now I'm a lurker.

I wish people would stop generalising.
