Hi there, I just started watching started watching the new Fallout show and I don't understand how shipping VaultGhoul over VaultKnight is anti-black/racist. I don't know if it's VaultKnights being jealous or insecure over parts of the fandom preferring VaultGhoul, but the accusations of racism rub me the wrong way, like antis are reducing Maximus' character to him being black.

People need to stop treating their shipping war drama as "activism."

I haven't watched the show yet, but I take it that VaultGhoul-haters consider Maximus a better romantic option for Lucy than the ghoul guy because he's "more problematic" from their POV, and they are infantilizing her while they're at it? Lucy looks like she's in her early 20s.

Fanfic tiktok is wild... I see so many people saying shit like "I could never read anything below 60k!!", or "What story can you even tell in under 5k words?" or "A oneshot below 10k isn't even a story!" or "I always filter completed fics by 100k< only!"

And I'm like...

A) which fandoms are you reading fics for where you have this kind of offerings on the regular?

B) have you heard of short stories? If you truly think every story NEEDS to be longform to connect with people, I sincerely feel sorry for you.

C) Average novel length is between 50k to 100k. I'm sorry, but CONSISTENTLY demanding fic writers to push out fics of that length is insane. Just think about it: YOU DEMAND AUTHORS TO PUT OUT FICS THAT COMPARE TO COMMERCIAL NOVELS IN LENGTH (AND QUALITY) AS A BASELINE.

Yall are wilding.

Season 1 of Mystery Incorporated was everything

like. scooby-doo and its characters are nearing 60 years old now and one of the beautiful things about the show is how easy it is to update and reinterpret the characters as needed for the specific story each new SD incarnation is trying to tell and I GET THAT!!! but i’ve always found it so VERY lazy and uninspired to interpret fred as rude or entitled or sexist because there’s literally none of that in his original incarnation. and in the adaptations that choose to give him these flaws, there’s never really a push to give him any new or notable POSITIVE characteristics either. fred was never the leader because he’s an alpha male, he’s the leader because he’s kind and friendly and brave. and if you can’t think of a way to make that character interesting without just making him into a shitty person i AM going to be judging your scooby-doo adaptation accordingly!

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
