Re: What fandom fads still baffle you ?

Right now the Attack On Titan fandom has this bizarre 'joke' of Jean having a horse face, is a horse, is hung like a horse, is generally horse-like, etc. People have taken a Scouting Legion jacket and thrown it on the back of their horse and taken a picture going 'lolol it's Jean!!' or wear a cosplay outfit with some horse masks on, etc.

Even if I knew the origin of the 'joke', it's getting really fucking old.

Also feminising the fuck out of Levi. He's short. That's it. But apparently that's enough to draw him in stilletto heels and maid outfits. The fuck?

And in my old Megaman X fandom, it was fangirls insisting that Vile and Dynamo were okay guys who were also bishies. They had little to no characterization, were complete monsters, and the heroes hold them in total contempt, but apparently fandom didn't get this memo. And I don't mean that they made excuses for their behaviour or glorified them like fangirls do with other villains; they just pretended they were like ordinary reploids who were never Mavericks at all. It just blew my mind.

The origin of the joke is in a later episode where Eren says he looks nothing like that horse-faced Jean. Seriously, that's it.

And yes, the joke is now ancient.
