Can I interest you in not one or two... But THREE things that are no longer popular as they used to for you to enjoy?

Yes tell me the things !!

1. Supernatural

2. Doctor Who

3. Sherlock (BBC)

I despise you and you won't survive when I am in charge in 14 and a half years

we seriously need to bring back the concept of “despite its flaws i still enjoy it” instead of ‘cancelling’ every fuckin thing in sight

We also need to stop insisting that everyone enjoying flawed things must put 25 cents in the Problematic Jar and recite all its failings from memory.

If I just may add: we really need to stop pretending that “I’m a Good person, ergo the thing I like is PERFECT and if you criticize it you’re an ENEMY”. You can enjoy stuff AND keep your sense of critical thinking.

There is no such thing as objectively unproblematic media (or objectively unproblematic people) and we need to stop pretending there is.

Also, demanding that people justify their enjoyment of “problematic” media, past or present, contributes nothing. Virtue signaling ain’t it, friends.

"Notable isekai ratfic writer Mark Twain" is one of those phrases that is technically true but nevertheless gets on people's nerves

#Mark Twain would do numbers on Tumblr and also have a 300 page callout document

Hell, tumblr still keeps trying to call Mark Twain out and he's been dead for 114 years.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The protagonist is an engineer from 19th century America who is mysteriously transported back to Arthurian England, and devotes himself to reinventing modern technology and trying to manipulate the locals into giving up feudalism and superstition.

The first time I encountered the word "isekai" and had it explained what it meant, my first thought was "oh, like A Connecticut Yankee." I'm not even a big Twain-head, it's just a very iconic story.

people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist

Arthur, King of Time and Space is .000949 on the Goncharov index

My horny ass could not be a chapter serf

Absolutely no idea what you mean

I'd get told that it's time to bathe and cover the Emperor's Angels in blessed oils or some shit and proceed to go into cardiac arrest.

A Battle Brother could ask for assistance with removing his armor and I would have to pretend to be normal about that, i'd perish on the spot

No but you HAVE to understand, those 30 sickos are starved for things that explore their interests and will rapidly become 300 when their sicko friends tell all THEIR sicko friends. They engage like CRAZY. It's a sound strategy. You DO risk becoming known for that specific thing, though, so watch out for that.

This is me wanting to draw that Gohan and Goten reunion we never got in the buu saga. Like both were dead and one thought the other to be dead.

This started cause I was talking to a friend of Gotens character in regards to Goku at first Goku is hyped up to him this untouchable heroic hero. He sees how everyone feels about him but he feels not much for his Dad other what he was told and he’s scared to approach. Then, reality kicks in his Dad isn’t that… Gohan is “killed” and Goten and Trunks and thrusted into the role of saviors of the Earth. Goten resents him but then… he learns that Goku isn’t none of that he’s real, super approachable, and awesome. It beat the stories he was told.

Then, he realizes he never felt he was missing that love because he had a lot of it. Gohan was always there for him making sure nothing was missing for Goten. Goten realizes he is very lucky to have Gohan. Anyway not me explaining my comic in the comments
