There is something so disgusting about the way a lot of creators treat fanfiction.
You'll see a creator reacting to animatics and fanart and fan songs and cosplays, and it's nothing but praise. Even when they see stuff that is probably made by a literal child and, objectively, really not good, they will never make fun of it. They will praise it just the same as art-museum level works of art.
And then that SAME CREATOR will be constantly poking fun at fanfiction, always making it the butt of the joke and calling it weird and cringe. Making videos 'reacting' to fanfic where they deliberately seek out that objectively not good stuff that was, again, made by literal children, and belittle it to hell and back.
If you're a creator and you think an entire genre of fanworks is shit, that's your prerogative. I think you're kinda an asshole for having that opinion, but you're allowed to have it. But when you put in time and effort into publicly hating on that genre of fan work, you move from the territory of a bit of an ass into actually a bad person.
Common Misconceptions of the Mario Series that are Incredibly Annoying
This time, this post has inspired me to talk about how unfair it really is that Mario, and only Mario, gets regularly accused of being "a cold-hearted psychopath because he stomps on Goombas and Koopas."
Let's ignore the fact that this has been incredibly dumb to unironically claim and instead focus on this:
Many other characters like Luigi, Peach, Toad, etc have done the exact same actions before.
Yet, I don't see a single person accuse Luigi the same way people constantly accuse Mario.
Strange, isn't it?
I would assume that the average person who knows Mario would have the knowledge that other characters other than Mario have done the same actions that have been deemed as harsh or even evil. There's been numerous games where this is the case.
So why is it that it's cool when Luigi or the other characters do it, but it's suddenly a problem when Mario does it?
It's a contradiction that is so blatantly obvious. And maybe that's part of the "joke," but the "joke" ran itself into the ground way back in 2014.
Here's to all the shockingly single bachelor uncles or the two very close friends who just happened to be girls and are only living together until one of them finds a man (they lived together for forty two years).

You know, since it's Pride Month (and also I miss them), I feel like reminding everyone how fucking important Ruby and Sapphire were.
The way they were both unambiguously conceived as queer characters and let the writers make an established character queer retroactively. The fact that as soon as they share the screen, they immediately show how in love they are, without any ambiguity to please the censors, and they do that almost every episode they're in.
How their relationship isn't always 100% perfect, and they do conflict and fall out, but make up in the end because they genuinely love each other. How they were allowed to be iconic parts of the show, not just through being the focus of two of its most famous songs (Stronger Than You and Here Comes A Thought) but also through the book version of The Answer.
The fact they got the first gay kiss...
...and the first gay wedding in the history of kid's TV.
The way their reception showed networks that yes, people do enjoy media with queer characters, and so they contributed to many other series with prominent LGBTQ characters getting greenlit.
I honestly don't think it's exaggerating to say they're among the most important queer characters in the history of fiction for all that. And people need to say it more, and demand stuff like them more.
