#problematic fandoms

….

that’s how I am with the tmnt fandom when I say I think leosagi is problematic now lemme explain on this

now just note I’m not in the tmnt fandom due to the problematic nature it has but I do like tmnt (my most favorite is the 2007 verison) but I am in the usagi yojimbo fandom and been trying to read the comics online and this is just my opinion cause I know I won’t change others minds I just like to express my opinions over the internet cause why not

but it basically frustrates me when I go to look up usagi content everyone is talking about shipping him with the turtles kinda gives me a ick

Especially since in the title teenage mutant ninja turtles there is teenage in the first sentence and the turtles always been told they were teenagers

and usagi is canonically said to be in his late 20s to early 30s now before you say “but 2003 usagi is a teenager” or something like now for 1 it does not say that anywhere I checked myself and it’s nowhere seen

And plus the main comics literally start as him being a adult and he acts like a adult in the adaptions I personally see 2003 usagi being a father figure or a older brother to Leo due to how they interact

now don’t think this is the only unpopular ship opinion I have I mean I shittalk about like shadowpeach in the past

so yeah basically

it’s hard to join fandoms without being attack for a opinion you have (it’s honestly personally why I don’t interact with fandoms most of the time people start to act like people in mental asylums some worse then others (COUGH COUGH GENSHIN IMPACT COUGH COUGH)

So what’s the lesson here?

if you have such a problem with people who are made happy by fanart and being devoted to a series written for people to enjoy then just don't get involved in the fandoms or keep your opinions to yourself because I'm so tired of trying to enjoy myself and look through cute fanart or one-shots of cute things about characters that make people’s lives better and then seeing people complain and rant about “problematic” things.

and as an author, I would want people to be obsessed and feel entitled to my work. I make it for other people. If i didn't want that, i wouldn't do it.

if you think something is problematic, don’t complain about it and make people who enjoy it feel bad. just find something that isn't problematic for you. jeez.

I confess that I feel sucker punched by this one. I've been seeing a number of posts lately that has been claiming that Stranger Things is problematic. Some of the post I found goes so far as to place it right next to Harry Potter in the problematic Fandoms catagory. So I have to ask, how is Stranger Things problematic? Please, Someone, loop Me in on this one!

I'm really tempted to change my layout but this is the longest I've gone without changing it.

I also want to reblog some more stuff but I also feel some guilt because they are from fandoms that have problematic creators so by reblogging that I am highlighting that fandom and potentially bringing more attention to it then before.

(More under the cut, can defensive fans and PLEASE new fans pls read or share or add?)
