#its about how yall will just take a piece of media and mash two characters together even when they genuinely have no chemistry because Gay

[like-sands-of-time]

Idk there's just something good-different about the culture with rare pairs (tbh with fandom and "shipping" in general, it's so toxic now instead of accepting) when they're actually rare. I'd rather a super niche sub group in a fandom that has less than 10, 100, 1000 works and one whole discord server than whatever the hell is going on on Tumblr here with jegulus as an example. That shit used to be a rare pair, especially considering we know little about James and even less about sirius' younger brother. and now y'all are making cutesie little social media AUs and rewriting every single marauders era character to be nothing like they were and erasing Lily from existence to make them all self inserts or OCs and it's just an entirely different energy than fanworks and discourse even 10 years ago for that fandom.

Idk it's something about the energy around it... Like it's full of arrogance and like this idea that because of the bravery of those who came before and fought for the normalization of fandom you can just say and do whatever and people aren't allowed to criticize you without it being homophobic and ageist or sexist or whatever else . You can just have shitty takes and shitty personalities. You can be entitled and annoying while also being disabled or gay. But your inability to understand nuance and complexity with anything is sort of your whole problem so I wouldnt expect y'all to get it

#listen its about the arrogance and entitlement i see everywhere #it's about not actually caring about the characters but using them as OCs with names because we don't know anything about them #its about not understanding moral ambiguity or grey characters or anti heroes or anything not morally righteous #its about having lgbt be the standard ships but yet coming up with entirely new ways to be inadvertently homophobic #its about girl power while turning around and cementing gender roles all over again #its about how yall will just take a piece of media and mash two characters together even when they genuinely have no chemistry because Gay #its about how yall harass actors and musicians and writers and everyone nonstop because not only are you entitled #but you need constant gratification?? #its about how you're simultaneously so Confident but yet so easily swayed #its about how yall are not just hyper fixating but youre fucking delusional sometimes forgetting reality and its scary #im glad for the most part that we can all just block and go about our day on here but the way yall act in youtube comments? other platforms? #yall just say shit so confidently. no one has any concept of privacy or humility or anything. its just you Have to like/accept it or else
