I know it's irrational, but I feel guilty telling my Animal Crossing villagers that I don't want them to come visit me, or making them leave my house when they show up... so I don't squish the roaches. The roaches appear after you haven't logged in for an extended time. I let them run free so everyone who tries to visit leaves as soon as they see them.

I know they're just pixels, but I feel so bad to tell them NO. This is the easier way out!

When there's a new game in a genre I like, I like to check out the game's twitch category and watch different people play it. But I absolutely refuse to watch any Vtubers. They are this weird mix of incredibly cringy and kind of unpleasant and I hate everything about them.

This book had an interesting premise, I enjoyed the reality tv setting even I haven't watched the Bachelor/that type of show.

But at some points I felt like I was not reading a book but tumblr!

World Cup always brings fresh blood into football fandom. New creators, new fic, new art, yay!

But this year's tournament is so bloated and a political shitstorm I am not sure if anything good can come out of this mess.

So apparently a pretty popular Marauders era fanfic just got licensed by a publisher and I'm not sure how to feel about it. Like, I kind of get it with AUs that are often pretty far removed from the original canon anyway but this fic is very canon compliant and I just don't see how you could reasonably file off the serial numbers to get it to a credibly original state.

I'm also not thrilled about this blurring the legal lines even more. I know it's been a thing for years now but with stories that are this close to someone else's intellectual property, I fear things will get really messy someday.

I find it more and more difficult to have neutral conversations with fans. If I defend their thing, I must also be a fan (I'm not). If I criticize their thing, I must be an hater (I'm not). People can discuss the merits and flaws of a thing without feeling strongly about it. People can defend the right of something to exist on principle without being personally invested.

Some days it feels like the internet runs purely on feels now.

Games thread!

Yeah, people throw around the words hater and anti so much now that they have virtually lost all meaning.

[(Anonymous)]

No, it’s not. Put on your big person pants and learn to say no.

I'm noticing more and more how frequently you have to ask people "can you show me where someone said what you're claiming they said?" when they come in swinging with wild accusations and projections.

Of course they can never show you, because nobody said the thing they're claiming they said.

[(Anonymous)]

"Canon compliant" and it is the Marauders. xD It is all made up except for some very generic fantasy tropes.

[(Anonymous)]

For sure.

Like if I talk about the things a story, that people seem to universally hate, did well I get treated like I’m some looser deranged defender. When bad media can have good bits of writing in the mess.

And on the flip side if I crit an aspect of something that’s decent but I feel it didn’t do as well in one or a few areas, suddenly I’m some rabid hater or anti because I have a mix of opinions. It’s so weird and juvenile on either end.

[(Anonymous)]

I was gonna say. My touchstone with this fandom is incredibly limited but isn’t pretty much all the mauraders stuff fanon?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah OP, you tell those fictional villagers what's what, like the grown adult you are! Don't let that cartoon dog stomp all over your boundaries
