So here’s an interesting development in this saga. It turns out that the rules on harm to minors in the community guidelines have been unchanged since January of 2020. (wayback link) Which begs three questions. why did people think it[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
πs will 100% try to use Aethy. Minors as well because “it’s creepy they don’t want minors there” I have seen it so many times, an account with proship and problematic signs everywhere. Even if they don’t post it often,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m fuckin tired of having everything needing to be as squeaky clean, sanitized and soulless as possible so some rich Republican fuck running the ad companies doesn’t frown. Tumblr said they weren’t gonna go after the written stuff when Pornmageddon[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
What’s wrong with the word proship? nobody outside the community knows what it means, and fancops are weaponizing that ignorance to poison people against the concept by telling them it means “problematic shipping” or outright saying it means “pedo ships.”.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Wow. Tumblr really did just say “fuck every anime/cartoon fandom in particular”. Are we gonna start having to literally post links to Wikipedia showing how old a character is?? I don’t even think I could post about the anime Mouse,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sorry for sending so many asks in a row ashbkav bkav m Question: Is sfw shipping of two m*nor characters illegal now on Tumblr as well? How are staff members going to be able to keep up with this if[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I love AO3. All websites should be on that level of based. They set the bar way higher for what just enjoying fiction in peace is supposed to look like. –Satou We could only wish. π I fear we may[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Can tumblr go back to “go nuts show nuts” please? It will never happen again. At that time, tumblr was created and run by a single identifiable person, who had personal ideals and goals for the site. now the site[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This whole issue is insane!!! Watching people get purged left and right. Disgusting. I’m actually scared to lose my friends on here and :c I’m on aethy and a lot of my friends are there too luckily but it’s just[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Reminder for those just joining us: the new development on tumblr is that it turns out they are strictly enforcing a ban on any depictions or discussions of underage people in sexual situations: including all fanart, fanfiction, and discussion of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We went ahead and updated the Fanlore page on tumblr and the fanlore page on the Timeline of Major Fandom Purges to reflect tumblr’s ban on underage fiction. If anyone wants to add more detail please feel free, otherwise we’ll[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yeah, being unable to filter stuff without a third party extension was crazy! It definitely was way worse without being able to block and filter things. I don’t know if “don’t tag your hate” really facilitated the modern anti movement[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yeah I bet it was a huge culture shock! It’s so interesting to see the things that people miss learning about! context link Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
Yeah, modern web users don’t understand SEO, tagging, metadata, etc. It’s sad and frustrating and causes nothing but problems :c Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
Proship means ‘ship and let ship’! 💖 Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
I definitely understand that feeling, anon :c Comments are much more personal. Even if it’s just “I liked it.” context link Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
anon, we used to get a LOT of comments on our fics! Here’s some examples! 221 reviews on our big longfic. 25 reviews on the first whump oneshot we ever posted. 250 reviews on another longfic another 25 reviews on[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Fictional Other! It was created as a term in the self ship community several years ago and it basically means a “significant other” but fictional. It’s any character you ship yourself with, Does that make sense? ^^ Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
sadly, I’ve had the same experience. I honestly think people are scared, and the ones who aren’t scared are just entitled I think, as the last anon was alluding to. context link Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
I think you’re spot on with this about “content” and expectation. I have been making a concerted effort to take “content” out of my vocabulary and use “media” and “works” or “fanworks” instead. context link Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
Honestly I think this is a large part of it. I know anecdotally I stopped commenting on things on tumblr for a long while because I was terrified that someone would be offended somehow… context link Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
Let’s talk about how much comment culture has changed in the last 20 years… In 2002-2003 I was writing a multi-chapter longfic for the fandom X-Men: Evolution. The fic was OC x canon and the canon character was Toad– one[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
People are still hating on reylo? I don’t get it, I really don’t get it. It’s such an absolutely basic enemies to lovers ship. It’s canon. Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
werewolf-cuddles: I mean, I know attacking canon het love interests that get in the way of popular gay ships is just par for the course at this point, but it never stops being disappointing to see. I has a long[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

fandomeldersintheirthirties: fanpol-suck-but-you-dont: I do understand why the whole “BOYxBOY Yaoi don’t like don’t read!” stuff seems really funny now but I think, as someone who joined fandom in the early 2000s when by and large most of fandom was incredibly[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I do remember, and it was shameful behavior on the part of those doing it. Not unexpected from fancops, though. Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
I have become aware many of my friends don’t know what a “kink meme” is, or how to find them! Put simply a kink meme is a community based around prompts for and trades of smutty fanfic for a given[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
