because you stole that word from french lol

Queue: consonnant sound

Queue: you can’t follow a q with a e, you need a u in between. in french u gotta

Queue: the eu sound is actually not like how you say q at all, it’s a french e sound but it’s longer (also distinguishes from the word que)

Queue: it’s a feminine word so it gets a e at the end

u say that like its somehow better and not just a crushing indictment of french

Yes yes evidently having actual spelling rules is inferior to whatever English thinks it’s doing.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

On the one hand: fair. On the other hand: it’s mainly French that screwed up English spelling, so…

#normans: we have created a new form of speech!#everyone else: you fucked up a perfectly good language is what you did. look at it. it’s got anxiety.

I am more invested in this conflict than I’ve been in any fandom drama of the last ten years, at least

Any Works Permitted But

Okay, here’s the problem.

You either have an Any Works Permitted fandom situation or you don’t. Because the moment you amend this statement to Any Works Permitted but,  what you are doing is placing on the field the weapon by which any reader, for any reason, can go after any author or fic that they don’t like. 

Whether the work in question actually violates the but  is not really in question. If you teach the kids that “these are the magic words you can say to make the thing you don’t like go away,” they will use them, over and over until any kind of inherent meaning becomes destroyed. 

That is what we got when we attempted to play “Any Works Permitted but  not the pedo stuff.” We got definitions of “pedo stuff” that distorted to include any two people with any age gap, any two people with a size or height difference, any two characters who are of an age group with each other  but the author  is of a different age group, any character who is a teacher with any character that has ever been a student – it went on. It still  goes on.

My argument is not that anyone who claims “this fic has this problematic element” is lying. Many fics do  have problems and many people pointing this out are quite justified in doing so. My argument is that there is no way to distinguish between people who make these objections in good faith and people who are weaponizing them against fics which are: for a pairing they don’t like. About a character they don’t like. Include  a character or pairing they don’t like. Written by or for a person they don’t like. Contain an element they don’t like (even if not the one ostensibly being objected to.) Made them feel a way they didn’t like.

When you have an Any Works Permitted fandom, you are going to get some stuff that is trouble. You are going to have some fans who do not, cannot feel welcome sharing a space where this content exists. I think that sucks, I really do. But the alternative is to have a fandom where any reader can, at any time, choose to go after and destroy any creator they don’t like. The alternative is to have a fandom where creators can be hounded out of the fandom, or off a social media platform entirely, because some people took a dislike to their stuff and had access to the Correct Magic Words. 

The alternative is to have a fandom that is dead.

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead

this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job

Do you think the sirens would be grateful that they finally get some variety? 

“Oh my god we can finally just sing about pasta thank the fucking gods.” 

I’m not asexual but I’m fairly certain sirens would do a far better job luring me into the depths with a song about pasta rather than sex…

I mean. 

“WHAT THE FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.”

“FUCKER THEY SAID THEY HAVE FETTUCCINE CARBONARA AND HOT GARLIC BREAD OVER THERE HANG ON BITCH.” 

This is true; Odysseus heard them promising him knowledge of the future.  So the next time you see artwork like this:

Remember those sultry naked chicks are saying “We’ll tell you the winning lotto numbers.”

Them: “We have unlimited wifi at incredible speeds~” Me: *diving headfirst into the water*

This post is a blessing

Oh my god sirens were literally scam websites

Oh my god they were phishing

someone* added these tags to their reblog of this post, which, uh: this is literally the basic, standard fandom anti-shipper position on ships.

 Whether you call yourself an ‘anti’ or not, this is precisely what a fandom anti does: ‘throw down’ if they think someone’s ships are ‘abusive’, ‘pedophilia’, or ‘incest’ (generally with widely expanded definitions, hence the scare quotes).

it’s a pretty solid example of how this works, though:

Anyway. 

I have a lot of sympathy for antis because I think their lives often set them up to favor censorship and abhor education-as-inoculation, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re being jerks to fellow fans on the basis of assuming things about the core of their person because of what they ship.

fandom policing of this sort is assumptive, presumptive, and deeply damaging, both to the victims of anti-shipper cyberbullying and the anti-shippers themselves, who are encouraged in this abusive cycle hellhole behavior by emotional manipulation and coercion.

(I want to end this with a joke about how American this is, but assholes are everywhere tbh. Americans are just especially susceptible to the thinking patterns established by fandom antis at this precise moment in history because of the factors listed above.)

*if you figure out who it is, kindly be a decent person and leave them the hell alone.

To take this the next step which is to say, why does this matter? There’s a phrase that’s hovering at the tip of my tongue, can’t quite remember it, but it’s a word that basically means “a culturally specific passcode.” (Ed. I looked it up – it’s “shibboleth”.) A thing that members of the community will use to challenge you on your authenticity, to verify your right to be in that community, with the specific implication that this kind of verification is essential for keeping the community safe. The classic example is that of an American brigade in the European theater in World War II, suspecting the presence of a German spy, remorselessly interrogating a new recruit about World Series baseball scores. Because of course, any TRUE American would know everything about baseball scores! – and no non-American would, so if someone fails this test you are righteous and justified in declaring them The Enemy.

The overt, performative denunciation of Bad Content has become the “shibboleth” for modern fandom, as managed by the increasing influence of antis. Why is that every time one of these posts come around people so inescapably feel the need to add “but of course I don’t condone the pedo stuff” to their reblogs? Do they have reason to assume that pedophiles are so universal and normative that any reasonable person would assume they were, unless they explicitly state otherwise? Of course not – it’s a passcode. A performance of cultural acceptability.

And as the anti movement is hugely American, that means that the passcodes and rituals are also firmly based in American culture. Why all the focus on who is and isn’t eighteen? That’s the age of legal adulthood in America. There’s no magical transition in America where you go to bed on the eve of your 18th birthday an infant and wake up the next day magically transformed into an adult, any more than this same metamorphosis occurs at 16 in the UK, or at 20 in Japan. Concepts like the age of adulthood are entirely arbitrary and culturally defined – but the only acceptable metric, among antis, is the American one.

All the other Unacceptables are equally foggy as soon as you step outside the USA boundaries. Are relationships between adopted siblings considered incest? What about non-blood related people raised in the same creche? Childhood friends? Step-siblings? Classmates? Second or twice-removed cousins? Ancestors or descendants? Different cultures don’t all answer these things the same ways (nor is there any reason that they should,) and that murkiness provides plenty of foothold to launch an attack from, when someone else is shipping in a way that Just Doesn’t Seem Right to you.

Anyway, a lot of this goes under the surface. Many antis don’t even realize how inherently American their anti-ness is, and how much of their opposition to Bad Fan Content is rooted in opposition to non-Americanness, because very little of this happens out in the open. They don’t say to themselves, “American culture and ideals are better than any others, and anyone who fails to adhere to those must be punished,” – instead it gets sublimated into passphrases and rituals, little things you do to signal that you are one of the Good Ones, you are Doing Fandom Correctly. And outsiders who don’t know the correct passphrases and don’t perform the right rituals aren’t just newcomers or people with different cultures – they’re abuse apologists and pedos and predators. Outsiders against whom the community must be defended, even if it comes to a fight.

この頃は下総実装直後ということもあり ちょっとした一人リンボカーニバルでしたが 彼の活躍はまだこれからで、今は大事な時ですので 現在は新作落書きの公開は控えております。 彼の物語がひと段落したら、落書きを再開いたします。

シナリオが進んで新イメージが見えてくるとまた 描きたいものが増えちゃいますね。

I’ve worked on character designs for Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami Munenori and Caster of Limbo in Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant, Pseudo-Singularity III: The Stage of Carnage, Shimousa – Seven Duels of Swordmasters. I hope you’ll enjoy. Shimousa Pickup 2 Summon (Daily)  I like Yagyu’s MAX ATK counts to 9999, sounds cool. :-)
