Menacing Minted Corner

I do not care for internet labels like 'proship' or 'antiship'. I'm an adult who can and will block whatever I like and curate my online experience without generalising a whole group of people. I know what both terms mean, and what they originally meant too, however it's such a wasteful back and forth with the labels imho, just be blunt and not vague. Frankly, I don't put that much mental effort into it, unlike some, because using the block button and then engaging in something I do enjoy is very, very easy.

Things should be tagged accordingly for those wishing to block and filter and it's rather stupid to assume someone's irl morals based purely and only on their fictional tastes. It's not hard to ask someone what their blog contains, or to look at it yourself if you're unsure.

Shitpost before bed. I have spent the past 10 minutes cackling like a mad man at these pictures.

The grind for the endwalker mounts is finally over. I am very paternal over this ugly baby. Sadly it can't be tied to Vilicus' story, but I will still be riding with it.

For starters, the amatonormativity/heteronormativity is always baffling to me. Then there's this sometimes odd condescending attitude of posts, like you're a child who is being told what love is for the first time. And then other times this uneasy vibe of 'if someone doesn't tell me this character loves me I will assume everyone hates me and my ship and I are not valid'. Like it's a popularity contest and I've legit seen people just either shit on themselves or others because a self shipper draws better than them, or be weirdly passive aggressive and fishing for compliments. Is it bad to say it's like some people join the community to get fics/art for themselves, the same way some people try to befriend artists for free art or bragging rights?
