Re: Based on #4, Fandoms you just don't understand

Minecraft shipping for me. So many of them are flooding AO3 and there is almost no way to filter them out except painstakingly excluding all the names/ships.
I've also seen porn videos of those boxy pixel ppl and I just don't understand... (usually if there is a difficult-for-porn artstyle, ppl just pretty them up, see: South Park)

The shipping part comes from the creators role-playing. There must be something in the pixelated water because a lot of them like to be dramatic in-game and it lends itself to fandom creativity very well (for example, in the 3rd Life series, where the goal was essentially to be the sole survivor of a death game, the players instead formed intense alliances and betrayals and it was all very theatrical).

The tagging difficulties, I'm afraid, is likely because of the "Minecraft RPF" tag--fandom is writing shipping fic about the /characters/ played by, say, user Dangthatsalongname and user SolidarityGaming, not the actual human people Scott and Jimmy. "Minecraft RPF" makes it sound like they're writing about the people, so they avoid that tag, and so does every other MCYT ship, and that means there's no catch-all tag. (And of course some people just suck at tagging and MCYT has a lot of new and younger fans)

It might be useful to try and block the series tag as well (if used--some MCYT doesn't have the series tag yet). Besides that, you have my condolences.

As for the porn videos....now I'm just fascinated. Where on earth are you finding those?

I guess that makes more sense... like how people can ship characters in audioplays (like Welcome to Nightvale) cause I look at these pixel people and go ????

I quite often go into the "no fandom" tag and they're flooding that one... sometimes Minecraft is tagged too, most often it isn't.
I assume the characters have the same names as the people role-playing them? And there would be confusion if they just tagged them normally? And I assume the fandomis too big now to find a uniform tagging system to distinguish them like "TommyInnit (character)" or something? (All the names I know I've learned against my will)

Heh. Basically the only porn I watch occasionally is 3D/drawn porn and there are some sites for those (Idk if I can link an example here... would that be against the rules?) and in the last few days I've seen definitely too many of those boxy pixel people on there (Idk if they move or if they're more like comics, I've never clicked on them)

Da There is as of the past year or so a "Minecraft (video game)" tag, "video blogging RPF" tag, and separate tags for the universes/video series that have their own storylines. Usually these days people use Video Blogging for the real people and the other tags for game-based stuff. But it took a long time for AO3 to get a clue, so they were a massive mess for a long time .

But yeah, they use the same names, and honestly there isn't a really good divide between the real people and the character people (even when the Fandoms sometimes claims there is) so it's hard to subdivide. Sometimes literally the only difference between a "rpf ship AU" and "non rpf!! Character-based!! Modern AU {they are all video bloggers}" is what somebody's dog is named.

I think the fandom would love if there was a "TommyInnit (character)" tag and a "Tom Simons (content creator)" tag, and would use it accordingly (like when people write fic for other roleplay media, like Critical Role--though in that, they have more distinct names in most cases) (except for every TommyInnit/Tom Simons, who uses his real name all over the place, there's also a MumboJumbo/Oliver Brotherhood, whose real name isn't attached to his content at all, so nobody cares who Oliver Brotherhood is. Or for that matter, users whose real name isn't known at all, like Dream or Ranboo or Etho). The tagging as "no fandom" is definitely a direct response to not wanting to tag it as RPF.
