I will never think of Star Trek "fan productions" as anything other than pathetic and stupid. And I'm sick of hearing about them as if they were any good.

[philstar22]

I don't mind people who enjoy them. I get annoyed at the people claiming they are more canon than the parts of Trek those people personally dislike. Same in Star Wars too. Nope. You can hate what you want to hate, but that doesn't make them less canon.

[(Anonymous)]

Like fanfic, there's some good stuff and some terrible stuff. But I agree that some people get waaaay overinvested in how good/"canon" any particular one should be.

For a certain time in a certain era I remember everyone convinced OCs were the cause of the "Mary Sue problem" but honestly? Some of the WORST offenders in some of my fandoms were folks who prided themselves on sticking to canon.

B!S: Mary Sueish characters aren't even the worst kind of shitty fic. They're honestly ignorable and didn't justify the massive harassment of young, new, and often female fans just getting into fic. A bunch of people just wanted to be assholes to the kiddos

[(Anonymous)]

When I was younger I used to be so staunchly 'anti-mary-sue' like some kind of cringey badge of honor, I never went after anyone writing them but I absolutely judged the people that did very harshly in my own head. Then I frankly grew the fuck up and realised that there is nothing wrong with it and to let people have their fun.

And of course these days I just roll my eyes at any mary-sue pearl clutching because it's all just another sexist front that people hide behind when female characters are good at anything, god forbid good at more than one thing. How dare a fictional character be special, that's clearly bad(but only when woman).

[(Anonymous)]

I think a lot of the Mary Sue Problem was not Mary Sues themselves but that every single kid had one and you'd have to wade through so much Mary Sue Slop to get to any decent story. Same thing happened to a lesser extent with the whole Character/Reader trend.

Individually, nothing wrong with them. As an aggregate, I see how people were irritated.

As a queer gamer I avoid queer gaming spaces like the plague.

Never been in one that was focused on the game and not on everybody hooking up with everybody else with games as the hobby vehicle + the 'NSFW' channel being the most active + someone at some point trying to send me nudes or meet up IRL.

At this point I'd rather play with a bunch of middle aged married straight dads with kids :\

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes people use the hobby group as a pretext so they can find other queer people and express their sexuality more freely or, alternatively, prey on the vulnerable. Sometimes there's just a horniness gap. It feels weird regardless. I've tried navigating similar spaces and never felt quite at home even as I was one of the horny queer kids lol.

You had me in the begining

[(Anonymous)]

But lost me there in the second paragraph. That hasn't been my experience at all. But I do tend to avoid "queer spaces" which is a shame, but I found that once I was out of my teens and twenties I just didn't care that much about my queerness to make it the one important identifying feature, and that "queer spaces" tended to be full of people that did. Nothing against that, just not for me.

[(Anonymous)]

That is really weird tbh. I have been hit on by weird guys when gaming before but not like that. What game was it, if you don't mind me asking? Or was it just a general discord type thing?
I can see the NSFW space being the most active in a shipping type of way, but if it's just people hooking up or sending dick pics, then idk, I'd never go back either.

When I say I never liked Zutara, people assume I liked Kataang instead. Nah, dude, Zukaang was where it was at. The dragons, the parallel goals, the Roku/Sozin flashback!

(Katara needed some time to be single and not responsible for someone else for a while, she's earned it)

[(Anonymous)]

For me it is Sokka, Zuko/Older Men, then Zukaang. I've been following a great Zukaang fic for two years now.

Not secret: I suspect that people who make extreme claims about female-dominated fandoms as a monolithic group have never actively participated in a female-dominated fandom at all. They're usually blindly regurgitating years-old screenshots of extreme behavior fished out by drama-hungry lurkers that have been reposted 10000 times and have never had any day-to-day interaction with the normal side of those fandoms.

Secret: I think exactly the same way about people who make the same extreme claims about male-dominated fandoms as a monolithic group, who behave exactly the same way about them. I find a lot of people agree with the first part above then are mad about the second part, though.

"Come on, we all know how THOSE people are" - both of these groups, who don't, in fact, have any idea how those people are

in before "I was in one fandom once, and so I know how ALL those fandoms are" - you're group 3

My interaction with fandom has almost entirely been in spaces dominated by women. This occasionally ends up with me forgetting men frequent these places too, and coming across them often feels like a jump scare.

"Ideal" relationship dynamic?

[(Anonymous)]

What would you consider your ideal relationship dynamic IRL, specifically involving you?
-"NOPE" can be an answer to this

What would you consider your ideal relationship dynamic in fiction, specifically NOT involving you?
-"NOPE" can be an answer to this too

Bonus: now combine both, if you specifically were involved in any fictional fantasy relationship of your choice, what's that ideal?
-"I'm somebody else entirely and my 300 LIs are all my rivals" is fair game, go wild
