Fandom Problem #14,456:
Why does every media where the main message is about love and acceptance have the most toxic fanbase?
Actually, I think I know why.
Because people think being in a fandom for a work whose story is about love and acceptance immediately makes them embody those values, even when one clearly isn't doing so.
Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

this is a highly controversial opinion, I have no doubt King Arthur was bisexual but I think he was one of the few people in Camelot not interested in fucking Lancelot. he wanted to retain him as an employee but it did not cross his mind that Lancelot was fucking his wife because Lancelot is such a weird little twerp that he did not perceive him as a sexual being. my interpretation.
So true. The Galehaut/Lancelot relationship was like a dynastic marriage to resolve the conflict between two imperial powers. I like to imagine Galehaut was like βI have decided to abandon my plans of capturing [what is now] all of southern England and surrender to you despite my military advantage, all for the love of my achingly beautiful and spectacular new male wife, Lancelot du Lac.β and Arthur was like βOkay. Weird. Not homophobic or anything but Lancelot? Youβre in love with Lancelot?β
Co-signed. Thatβs some real shit you said. Also, unlike Arthur, he was willing to yield and share his lover for everyoneβs benefit. And then he died for love. A real freak. One of the best freaks in 13th century French literature.
heβs the most interesting gay wifeguy in literary gay knight history

Fandom Problem #15,112:
"Why is there no complex, strong, independent, with lot of character development, lesbian, main character, woman in my man loving other men romance novels? It is sexist that there is no woman main character."
Seriously, why do you think there is no woman main character in a genre about men falling in love with, loving and fucking other men? Really think about it. Just deeply for a second, I think if you really really tried to do that, you would get why a story about men in a genre about men, does not have a woman as its main character or focus point.
Maybe try reading women loving women books or go to good reads and search for books that fall under the female protagonist tag instead, hun.
Fandom Problem #15,114:
I always feel such satisfaction when I see an anti whine how a fandom, that is actually thriving with a constant flow of fanworks, is apparently dead. Because it is clear that most of the fandom, especially the people who make most of the fanworks, has blocked them as they deserve.

Fandom Problem #15,125:
"This character (A) is a much kinder person π than this other really awful character (B) π"
"Oh, you mean the character who has had a loving family and never had any struggles in their life, compared to the child abuse victim who is suffering from trauma? Oh, yeah, such a struggle for A to be a more kind and trusting person than B has grown up to become. π"
"But you do not understand, if A has had B's upbringing they would still be as kind and loving as they are now, because they are at the core a good person unlike B. π₯°"
I do not know what I find more concerning. The severe downplaying of the long-term effects of child abuse. Or the implication that abuse victims who suffer from trauma and are not this perfect teary eyed victim are somehow just born bad and not a product of the abuse they had suffered from.
The concept of being 4 months clean from ai...
idc what you guys think I'm proud of him
Several AI services (chatbots π«©) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. Weβve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someonesβs mental stability. Just because it isnβt substance-based doesnβt mean that doesnβt count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!
AI chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries. Emerging research highlights significant mental health risks. Here are import
Large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users
AI addiction includes the overuse of AI chatbots and companions, often leading to adverse psychological effects.
Some articles to back my statements, and this isnβt even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose
Then I'll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose! Character.ai is one of many AI chatbot websites that're designed to be addictive.
None of the signup methods require a password. It only takes email and birthday. Minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse.
"Characters" on the website will send messages "on their own" (prompted by the site) to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity. This is likely to force FOMO, or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response. Unhealthy attachment stuff.
Account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly, right? Right? Wrong. It takes 1-2 weeks for a Character AI account deletion to be finalized, and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you're not using the app.
Rephrasing: People leaving Character.AI are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts, if they haven't already. This makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone. Failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future, so this feels like a feature, not a bug. On top of that, the delete account menu reads like this:
Tell me THAT doesn't sound like a bad ex. It's a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology. I am so so SO happy, downright delighted that they've managed to quit, and I wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well!! While AI addiction is an emerging condition, there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier. (If anyone seeing this is in need of them, there are several tumblr Communities here devoted to quitting, too. They provide a mix of advice, venting spaces, and proof that you aren't alone.)
the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

Know your enemy
it's just really apparent that people think it's okay to want pain but morally abhorrent to want to give it. sorry but the sadist gets to have fun too. it's actually pretty crucial to the process.
if I said I was going to a taekwondo class would you feel the need to tell me kicking people on the street is bad or.
