F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)

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 recaptchas 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!

By any chance is this a live-action series? J-fen tend to consider anything live-action as "semi RPF" and therefore are more strict about trying to keep their fanworks out of sight. Or it could be the case that the fandom has had a previous run-in with either the law or the creators of the series in the past, leading to them becoming more cautious.

Tbh Pixiv and twitter caused quite a big culture change within Japanese fujoshi-based fandoms, and in recent years they've become a lot more open and visible than they used to be. That said, fandoms which predate the rise of Pixiv sometimes still hold on to aspects of their former (more cagey) culture despite moving on to the new platforms.

Yeah, as someone who has been into Japanese-based fandoms for over a decade, it used to be a LOT worse. Like, they would lock their fansites with passwords, and to find the password you had to visit multiple different pages. If you didn't speak any Japanese, you were pretty much screwed.
