Anyone know what happened in recent years in fandom

June 30, 2024 1:55 am

That has brought the fake and performative IRL morality police to the forefront? It’s to the point that anything is deemed disgusting if it even tips the scale of IRL morals. It’s weird and ruins the point of all this made up media. No one is reading manga and manhwa/hua for accuracies… or to be a rigid perfect story with perfection at every corner. It’s not realistic and also a mood killer. Yes in real life there are tons of problems that need to be addressed. But in comic media?? Especially that is shared with us not FOR US…. Why place it to an impossible standard.

If you don’t like a certain trope… don’t read it. Let others who enjoy it do what they want. Better yet! Draw your own!! Fill up more space with your own shit! No one is stopping you. Unless you’re own work is hated on as well… how ironic sigh. This medium is all subjective and it’s all art. Why shame others for things that don’t matter in real life??? It’s so frustrating.


Edit:

If you also noticed this happening. You’re not alone and you’re not losing your mind. This is a real sad thing happening in fandom.

This article explains it perfectly!!! It makes perfect sense. I was like what is going ON recently. Now I know what’s happening. Such a shame tho.

    No one's stopping you from reading anything. We are just voicing our opinions. If you don't like our opinions...ignore them. Yeah, if I don't like a trope, I will stop reading. But I still have the right to comment about what I don't like about it. Suck it up. Sounds like a you problem when a simple comment kills your mood. Enjoy what you like, why listen to other people, why let their comments bother you? Unless, those people are right. And that's why you get defensive.

    Oh yeah! This has been happening alot recently, thanks for sharing that link, I'd like to use it, some people here have been telling others to 'kill themselves' for reading something that according to them is morally wrong and kind of started a self-claimed revolution to make others not read those work.
    ಠ_ಠ
    People who like those work can't even leave positive feedback because they quickly reply with 'kill yourself'.
    It's not about just ignoring as someone said earlier, it's annoying at this point.

    I hear you completely. I’ve gotten and seen those exact replies as well. It’s heart breaking. Like people telling others to DIE is so extreme when they just wanna read comics/etc.

    Glad it helped. It really helped me have a better picture of how all this violent aggression started happening.

    Take care of yourself. Thanks for your comment.

    You have my thanks, I got lucky to find such useful thing, it helped me alot to calm down my frustrated mind which was caused by arguing with such kinds of people, thanks to you I was able to share it!

    No, they are not going to do that. They don't read books as book. They play *self insert* games then get pissedike the writer ruined their lives. I'm seeing this a lot in current gen. It's full of Puritans.

    It’s so sad!!! If I knew readers/fandoms were going to change like this I would have enjoyed and appreciated the old days WAY more. :((( when everyone realized that people have different tastes in art and that if you don’t like something you just skip and move on.

    Now people think it’s their mission to police any and all artistic and sexual expression. It’s so conservative it’s not even funny.

    Definitely not funny. It's more annoying. Like there are so many factors accounting for it. Every country has their own cultural and behavioral aspects. That also affects the tropes they like. Just because you're unable to understand something doesn't mean it's unacceptable. Trust me, it has changed too much. Now People feel entitled enough to request author or publishers to change the source element just because they find it uncomfortable. Example I remember so many minors and Puritans protesting online to not make the cover of tgcf with a kiss scene between THE MAIN CHARACTERS btw. Don't consume it if you're uncomfortable. Who's forcing you????(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

    Exactly!!!!!! Agreed on all points!! ヽ(`Д´)ノ

    Posting recent comments I’ve replied with since they fit the topic. I just wanna keep track.

    I 100% agree OP!! There are so many varieties and sub genres in comics, idk why some people expect every single one to fit their own personal preference. And make it seem like other people’s preferences are “wrong”.

    Also art is art. If you don’t like something, that doesn’t stop it from being art. It’s just not for you. I wish people could understand that.

    To go even deeper: Antis who make abrasive comments on comics attacking others and authors for liking tropes they “disapprove” of tend to not fully understand the concept that media does not equal real life. When we listen to music, watch movies, and read books, our brains are supposed to understand consciously and unconsciously that what we are consuming isn’t real. That’s the entire point of media. To stimulate our brains in ways real life doesn’t. Example. People watch horror but I’m sure most fans of horror don’t feel the need to hurt people in the real world. That’s just obvious.

    As a result this leads people to have preferences. And that’s fine.

    The difference between the behavior of antis and people who have preferences. Is that someone with a different preference might say something like “not for me but the art is nice/plot was okay, but it didn’t fit my tastes/intrigued by the cover but I couldn’t feel the chemistry at all” etc. it’s totally fine to NOT LIKE SOMETHING. but antis saying things like “you guys are fucked up/disgusting/p*do/how could you support X y z” I literally just bullying behavior. You are just trying to force your control on someone else. It’s also performative activism because policing the preferences and enjoyment of others (especially women who historically are almost never allowed to have space anywhere let alone enjoy things, which I wish antis would think about).

    Also for decades and beyond, people have fought for the freedom of sexual expression in media. Like books are still being banned in schools for even mentioning same gender relationships. Yet antis are pissed at authors and readers for enjoying comics? You’re just as bad as the people banning books in schools. Lol.

    Sadly antis will one day have a mirror shown to them and realize they’re becoming (if not already) the monsters they think they’re fighting.

    Lastly, antis need to learn: it’s just not that deep.

    Like even on a basic level, if I wanna see drawings fuck other drawings, it’s not that deep.

    Feel free to create your own media and commission your favorite artists to create content that fits YOUR preference. But at the end of the day, you’ll ALSO find others who think your preferences are bad. And no one will care.

    The world will keep turning. Age gaps/incest/etc will not make the world burn. It’s just not that deep. The universe continues expanding. And so should you.

    Very well written and antis don't have brain to understand simple things, I just ignore them at this point.

    Nobody is forcing others to like what I like but those "antis" sure have a lot to say for something they dont enjoy. I'm not calling ppl who don't like what I like antis but those idiots who would go and fight randos in comment section because they don't like something, clown behavior.
    There's a difference between ppl who have their own preferences and ppl who just don't let others read what they want, ppl like you probably.
    You would be really stupid to think those ppl as normal might as well just call them crazy.
    Also it's not me but you're the one whose gross when you can't understand simple difference, please check your rotten brain LMAO!!

    Normal ppl don’t enjoy reading rape and pedophilia! It’s not abt morals, it’s about being a normal human
