people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard

There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.

In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.

Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?

for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.

on multiple occasions i have seen people on socials excited for palworld 1.0 and it has taken me a moment to realize they aren't doing a bit and are genuinely excited

Gamer here! This phenomenon can be explained from Palworld being what is considered a "good game" (任天堂以外のゲームをプレイしてください), which can be a concept that is difficult for fans of "Pocket Monsters" from the last decade or so to conceptualize. For futher reading, I suggest "On the Genealogy of Morals" by Friedrich Nietzsche and "Open Veins of Latin America" by Eduardo Galeano, hope this clarifies things!

Absolutely gassed, needing a cigarette, battered and bruised after barely beating a beast or perhaps a knight the size of a four story building, taking five before pulling themselves up to no fanfare and going down a doorway where a meaner and deadlier foe awaits. But not, by any means, defeated.
