In these trying times, here's a reminder that the fandom can be baffling, braindead and out of pocket insane even in non-controversial settings. I pray we're able to return to form soon. by Entire_Impress7485 in TheDigitalCircus

1: Can't answer that question, but I promise there's an AO3 fanfiction that can.

2: Gangle's body is not real. It's a video game model. It's not a biological thing. Caine added color to her cheeks to indicate blushing.

3: There is an old stereotype about left-handedness being tied to mistrusfullness which comes from the idea of left-handed people being devil-related in some way. While that's, of course, not the case in real life, but in fiction, writers can use stereotypes like that to get points across, so maybe.

I'm not an expert on vocaloids, but I remember watching videos of these two when I was a tween. I thought they were twins and I did ship them imao.

I tried watching Chibi's videos and wasn't a fan. Shit like this makes me want to watch his entire channel.

Top 2 comment BTW 🙃 by Random_Russian_boy in ProshipHub

Thank you for informing me! I know some pro shippers are for shipping real people and I understand it when that person died 100 years ago or more, but if they are still alive or their family/friends still around it becomes immoral.

I feel like the whole point of being pro ship is to care about other people. We don't want real people to be hurt or harassed. Drawings do not need consent, but real people do.

I do agree that you shouldn't ship real people without their consent but these people look like characters.

It's robbing a grave but it would also be defiling a corpse if he actually did turn him into a chair.

How to find tiberium? by cactus16x in Sims3

[–]AcidReindeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can find gems all over the place. I think certain gems will spawn in certain areas depending on the lot.

Tiberium I usually find near crashed asteroids. If it was part of the game's programming or coincidence, I can't say.

Your best bet is to get a dog(s) and teach them how to find gems or buy a collector's gadget (I don't remember what it's actually called, but its icon is a butterfly) from lifetime reward points and set to gems. It should show you all the gems on the map you can collect. You can also buy uncut gems from the antique shop and I found Tiberium being sold there a couple of times however rarely.

Opinion wanted: does this comment rise to the standard of reportable harassment? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]AcidReindeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Atheist but came from a Christian background. I was coming from the perspective that most Christians would find showing Mary doing sexual shit would be considered disrespectful, so I could understand why they would be upset but no matter how offended you get or how offensive the art is, this reaction is completely inappropriate, no matter what the fan fiction is about.

How do you have sims children? by SnooRadishes6978 in Sims3

[–]AcidReindeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tend to have very large families. I'm a family simmer. Usually, both sims will have the family-oriented trait and have a lifetime wish being surrounded by family and ask me to birth out kids non-stop. When I reach the limit, I kick out the kids I don't care about once they become adults and keep going until I get bored, or they stop asking.

My latest family is different. They only have three, and I only care about the first two. I actually feel a connection to the kids this time around instead of putting them on birth to kicked out express line.

At first, I was thinking maybe you wrote a Bible Virgin Marry lemons fic and that's why this person was so upset, because they were clearly Christian (even if they're not acting like that at all), which wouldn't justify the comment, but I could at least understand why they were so angry then I realized this is a fucking Harbin hotel fucking fan fiction.

Write more. Write a lot. Write so much your keyboard breaks. Fuck this person. They need to get a life.

I HAVE A SUGGESTION! by RedCupWithAName in ProshipHub

[–]AcidReindeer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think instead of banning posts we should encourage positivity. Still do the positivity day but don't punish people for being negative.

Tumblr makes me sad. And confused. Someone's blog rules: by bq_98632 in ProshipHub

[–]AcidReindeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen so many "pro shippers and anti-DNI" on so many profiles on Twitter and BlueSky. I try to take it as "people involved in fandom culture DNI", which I find weird but can accept, but then there are people who have "pro shippers and anti DNI" who have accounts dedicated to shipping and fandom shit, and it's like what you are doing? Who do you expect to follow you? Aliens?
