[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

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?

Auuuuuuugh yes I know just what you mean, anon :(

I was at Otakon this weekend and wanted to go to the Type-Moon panel they were having last night because I am hardcore into Fate/stay night right now (for the female characters and the world mechanics and the plot, despite the misogynist statements Shirou [and others] sometimes makes and the awful sex scenes and the existence of Matou Shinji), but I was pretty much the only girl waiting in line for it and listening to all the fanboys talking around me actually drove me away before it could even start, siiiiiiiigh.

It's like my gf is the only one I can talk to about these things. :\

Wow, that's a shame. Shirou, Shinji, and Gilgamesh are all more or less intolerable to me, but otherwise the game is excellent and I'm glad to have found less hideous portions of the fandom to hang with. It's pretty disgusting what a lot of the "discussion" among some fanboys boils down to, though. Especially on the topic of Sakura. I can only imagine the crap being said in line, eesh.

Shirou's not as intolerable to me as the other two, but a huge part of that comes from the various RPs my gf and I have done where we basically ignore the sexist parts of him. And then I replay the canon (especially the Fate route) and I go "god fucking dammit Shirou why do you have to say douchey shit like that."

Yeah, sadly it's gotten to the point where anytime I encounter someone who goes "Heaven's Feel was the best route/I wish they'd animate it" in the opening of a discussion I immediately go noping in the other direction because eight times out of ten they're skeevy Sakura fanboys. There were certainly things I liked about Heaven's Feel, but I could go on for a long time about my problems with it, and the fans are nearly at the top of the list.

I really hate Shirou myself, but then a lot of good RPers do make him more tolerable. It only works in RP contexts for me, though. I still hate him outside of a couple people's interpretations of him.

It's mostly the people who call Sakura a slut for being raped that I want to punch. That's worse than the fanboys.

...People do that? Oh my GOD fuck them. Just. I can't even articulate how full of rage that makes me.

Re: Visual novels

It's grossly prevalent and it infuriates me. It's actually what I thought you meant re; issues with the fandom and Sakura at first. Hell, a friend of mine who's a huge Type Moon fan did an entire blog post on why anyone who says shit like that about Sakura is fucking disgusting. I wish more male Type Moon fans were like him.
