Response to #3903 This is going to be VERY surprising to you, but unless it's a shitty ass therapist, they will actually be pretty chill about  a lot, especially fictional content. A therapy session is supposed to be a place where you can freely express yourself, and be in a "judgement free" zone. Unless you're doing something actually and actively harmful to yourself, or a real person in your life, or animals, you can basically not cross the line of action for a therapist, when it comes to just fictional content. A therapist is there to help you work through issues, and honestly, by those standards, telling them: "I ship these two brothers from my fave anime, fucking each others bumholes." Is probably far down on the list of anything they'll react to. I mean to put this into perspective, you're looking at "proshipper" content as being some real bad shit, fictional incest/pedo/etc, and it has to be "hidden" through saying "I cope with reading/writing/creating fan-content." Oh no, how horrible, fictional content! Meanwhile, this doesn't even come close to what a lot of therapist at some point have to deal with, eg: A patient having invasive thoughts, where they want to bash someone's head in, or hurt someone in their mind,strangers, loved ones, for no reason, where their brain forces invasive thoughts of doing actual harm to real life beings. They have to deal with women having PPD or PP-psychosis where they just want to murder their newborn because they can't handle it. They have to deal with people lifer altering trauma, wanting to commit suicide, or revenge fantasies, describing their mindscape in creative detail, and how it makes them feel, and how, why, and when. They have to deal with so much actually damaging stuff, which is doing active harm to the patient, and could become a risk to the people around them, and you're legit here thinking that admitting to liking some fictional nasties is what's going to break them? Really?

Fandom Problem #4056 I hate when this is the case any time you criticise a character, and the immediate reaction is “YOU JUST HATE THEM!” You could write a 10 page essay putting up every reasoning and in depth analysis of why a character is poorly written, feels cheaply constructed, or why you dislike them for other reasons,and people will still bulldoze past every point, and throw out some shallow as fuck reason as to “Why you really just HATE” that character for “no valid reason.” It’s even worse when the character is popular. That character is involved with another character in some kinda dynamic. Involved in fandom bullshit, be that shipping, headcanons, or whatever. Or even just a very personal experience with the characters presentation. Nope, fuck that “You just hate them for no reason, because we cannot accept that people might actually have a valid reason to criticise and dislike a character.” And you know what, I won’t even give examples, because everyone has at least one character where this applies, and you can all see them in your mind rn, and you know, no matter how well you formulate your criticism, someone is gonna claim that you “just hate them for (bullshit) reasons!!!”

I read the submissions, but what I wanted to say is too long to be put in asks. So I'm sorry for using the subs like this, but I want people to know. On the whole "Do Americans know what pro and anti means" talk. No, this is not the fault of the American Education System, please stop spreading that misinformation. Prefixes are literally taught in 2nd grade, so no matter how poor the school is THAT will always be taught. The REAL reason these users are coming in and not understanding prefixes is because they are only accepting internet slang. Look at all of the hip new words that are being introduced on here and even normal words being "re-defined" by the internet: The word simp? Originally an insult against men for being overly emotional to something. Now, the internet turns the word to meaning being "deeply in love" with a person or thing in a positive sense. Stan? An insulting word created to mean an obsessive stalker after a rap song that used said word. Now, you see it being used as a positive fan thing more so than a red flag/unhealthy thing that it was made to be. These young users are discarding everything being taught to them in school because their online "friends" and other internet users are telling them different. This is just another example of people being head deep inside these fandoms and willingly undoing years of their educational learning just be "hip" and blend with the fanbase circles they are into.
