MY GOD, PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WHO LIKE A CERTAIN VIDEO GAME POST OCCASIONALLY ABOUT THAT VIDEO GAME THEY LIKE IN A COMMUNITY DEVELOPED ESPECIALLY ABOUT THAT VIDEO GAME THEY LIKE! MY GOD, THE OVEREXPOSUUUUUUURE.

I believe the term I'm looking for is 'big fucking whoop'.

You don't like it? Don't read it, don't look at it. All of their creations are behind a link or cut, and I haven't yet seen

md_kiryu post one of their pictures without a warning about the content.

Thousands and thousands of girls post M/M fanart/fanfic around and it's just dandy, NEVER a fetish. But god forbid a male have an interest in female slash! As a bi female fan of the game, I enjoy MD's stuff because it appeals to me as much as it does him. That's the fun thing about the internet, you can like something someone does and share it with them, or you can dislike it but still probably find something you like to enjoy with others.

Hey, I can kind of feel where you're coming from. I'm not a huge fan of Kaidan. And he's verrrrrry popular in the fandom, and in the community. But that's where you pull up your britches and mosey on to another post. It's what I generally do, and as of yet, my head hasn't exploded.

It's one thing to say you don't care for their interpretation of their characters or their pairings. Or even have your disagreement with the author/artist in question, not everybody gets along, shit happens. But if you're going to moan about it being over exposed, maybe you should put some some more of YOUR stuff instead so that the posts aren't so close together.

And may I suggest: AdBlock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adblock_Plus).

Firstly, you have a very strange definition of the word "occasionally."

Secondly: You don't like it? Don't read it, don't look at it. All of their creations are behind a link or cut

Wrong. You might have a valid point here if you were correct, but you aren't, because both

metaraymek and

md_kiryu spam their stuff all over Shore Leave Friday posts (yes, obviously other people post their art there too, in fact the entire thing has pretty much turned into one big attention whoring-fest, but no one else spams anywhere near as constantly as Meta and MDK), and they also sometimes spam it in completely non-related posts. Just the other day I recall

md_kiryu using a Bioware gender!fail discussion post as a platform to post some "non-sexy" armored female Shepard drawing all over the place. I don't know about you, but when I'm trying to read a serious discussion it's pretty damn irritating to have some dude basically going, "Look at my art! Look at my art! It has nothing to do with anything but I'm spamming it anyway! Didja look yet? Didja didja didja?!"

You do realize that the entire point OF SLF is to pretty much spam the thread with fanart and other fan creations, yes?

Edited 2010-07-16 03:05 (UTC)

A bit of copypasta from an SLF post:

The Rules
- Post any and all "fandom fluff" (i.e. non-gameplay related YouTube videos, reviews of the game from other sources, silly fan speculation, 'get icon posts', image macros, photo manips) or semi-to-totally off-topic stuff here and ONLY in this topic until the next one the following week.

I don't actually see fanart listed in there at all! Do you?

Clearly everyone goes to SLF for different things. I'm not against people posting fanart there in moderation, but I'm alot more interested in fun discussions and humorous YouTube videos and the like. Again, it's the fanart spamming that irritates me. A comment downthread pointed out that in one SLF post,

md_kiryu posted his femme turian WIP five times, each in a separate comment. There's no universe that I know of where that wouldn't be considered excessive.

You're doing the exact same thing you're ranting against. This a community for venting. If someone has the right to repeatedly post X/Y porns, someone else should also have the right to dislike it out loud--especially if it's in a space reserved for that purpose.

If anything, you should be concerned with how ishoshopy's comment verges on being a personal attack. While "I don't like the way you fetishize this pairing" is a valid concern, "you're an attention whoring pervert" really isn't.

I will agree with you there.

"Thousands and thousands of girls post M/M fanart/fanfic around and it's just dandy, NEVER a fetish. But god forbid a male have an interest in female slash!"

IA so hard. Fandom in general seems to have an ongoing problem with hypocrisy.

I also agree on the other points, my general rule (at least where fandom is concerned) is that if I don't care for/like a pairing/character/whatever I just skip past it. It's not something that really should need to be wanked over.
