[ Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

And that is totally fine, but do you go about shipping in the same way that say, the Sherlock, Supernatural and One Direction fans go about it?

aka: our ships are 100% real, the actors also are 100% doing it, every woman that comes within 10 ft of them should die immediately and if you tell us they're not actually in any way canon we will harass the shit out of you because CLEARLY you are TOTES A HOMOPHOBIC ASSHOLEE!

TBH, in 1D fandom that's really just the Harry/Louis fans, among the shippers. The rest of the gf bashers don't like that there is a girl in the way of their chance with one of the boys. They still all embarrass me, though. Their gfs are all really sweet and gorgeous, and I feel really awful for them. At least their bfs are really supportive of them and will defend them.

Not in any of those fandoms. Most of my ships are canon anyway because they're from webcomics, stuff from Less Than Three press and Dreamspinner, and BL anime, with a game or two in there.

I'm still a slash fan. And I'm gonna repeat what you've been told time and again before: not all slash fans are like that. But of course it's just that much easier making blanket statements.

I know that most slash shippers aren't like that, just like most het shippers aren't. But obviously I can't help but notice the shippers who are like that and it just almost always seems to be slashers.

Do you just hang around here, tumblr, and LJ? Have you been to some foul parts of Deviantart where they say alternate interpretations of a character's sexual orientation is degrading and offensive? What about gaming forums where they are just totally dismissive and there's just a hell of a lot of gamer-dude bros who are so fucking homophobic as well as misogynistic, racist, and self-serving as all fuck?

Honestly, I would say it would be just a hell of lot easier being accused as a homophobe rather than a sicko fag/dyke/retard who's into "disgusting shit".

Because all slash fans are Shelock, Supernatural and 1D fans...?

LMAO

And because all the fans in those fandoms ship the same way obvs.

I think you confusing "slash fans" with insane, obsessive dickweeds.

Not everyone who reads and enjoys slash is a psycho.
