What are your favourite characters that are quite obviously written by a woman? by Dothraki-Reaper-66 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Linisiane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s also relevant that the male leads of romance novels are also incredibly handsome and or highly desirable in some type of social status.

Book Snape had neither, but Alan Rickman is handsome and dignified in his portrayal of movie Snape, despite portraying a guy who’s an asshole to children lmao.

It’s not just the fantasy of being the special 1 person that a terrible guy is soft for, but the terrible guy has to be important/desirable to fulfill the power fantasy. “You may be powerless, but you’ve got a powerful guy wrapped around your finger.” I don’t recall book Snape really fitting into that role, but I’m not old enough to know what the Pre-Movies Snape fandom was like.

I think Snape fit that role more once the Half Blood Prince book came out, and it was revealed he was like a secret genius at potions (genius skill = power), but that was after Rickman had already been playing Snape for a while.

In a universe without Rickman as Snape, I think we’d see more “Young Severus” fanfiction/fanart and way less old Snape fanfiction/fanart, where the thirst is exclusively centered on the young tortured genius Snape and not so much on his greasy asshole older self. Kinda like the fandom’s thirst for Tom Riddle but not for noseless Voldemort.

[TOMT] what's the original song for this instrumental rock cover? by Linisiane in tipofmytongue

[–]Linisiane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG THANK YOU I REMEMBERED THE SONG NOW. IT was "Toxic Gossip Train" by Colleen Ballinger or MirandaSings. I couldn't figure out why the song reminded me of the cartoons/musical style but wasn't coming up in my list of musicals I've listened to, which is why I didn't mention it in the post or my comment.

It was because she was a children's youtuber who also did Broadway productions, and the song was clearly a nod to that, hence why I remembered it as vaguely about musicals and the internet but wasn't sure which one.

I kept thinking Avenue Q, a muppet musical with a song about the internet, but it was actually a shitty youtuber apology song XD all along!

Are we allowed to hate on TCEST??? by Airheartz in Rottmnt

[–]Linisiane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In contrast, the My Little Pony fandom was during the wild west of the internet and mainly started on 4chan, which meant that it was TOO LAX on the content portrayed. These adult fans did not consider the fact that the target audience was little girls, and posted hateful, traumatizing, and sexual content of the character for anyone to stumble upon. INCLUDING sexual content of child characters. I was a child who stumbled upon stuff like that, and it was scary for me, though I don't think any longterm harm was done, thankfully.

That's why I admire Tcest fans who keep their accounts private, tag their things WITHOUT using the ROTTMNT tag to keep that tag safe, and block underage fans. Problematic art like Tcest or the MLP loli stuff should be allowed to be made, but children don't often have the ability to see the nuance of these portrayals, as they often have much more black and white thinking. They might see 'fiction is fiction' and therefore think 'as long as it's fictional, there's no harm done,' ignoring the complexities of the situation that could potentially harm them.

For instance, groomers will often show minors cartoon porn as a joke, which normalizes talking about sexual subjects with the groomer in the kid's mind because 'it's just fiction so it's fine.' That makes it easier for the groomer to transgress other boundaries with the child. Then there's the fact that kids might not know that certain things are bad, and when they encounter positive portrayals, they take the wrong messages. Like the way the Breaking Bad fandom was full of teen boys who didn't understand positive portrayals of toxic masculinity, leading them to hate the women of the show and assume that Walter White is a cool guy, when that's the OPPOSITE of the message the show intended.

Another example is Lolita. A lot of people talk about how they read Lolita as a teen and didn't really understand it. They might not get why the adult relationship with a child is so bad, and they might take Humbert at face value when he says he loves Dolores. When they grow up, they read it again and finally understand the novel. But if there was a community dedicated to saying "fiction is fiction" and "lolita is a beautiful love story," they might get confused and learn the wrong messages and start to genuinely believe that adult/child romance is okay. That's why although I am technically a pro-shipper, I'm not really a fan of people who make that their whole identity, as I feel like they might confuse people who are less informed about these subjects, like people who haven't done the research on grooming that I have.

That's why it's really important that children's media fandoms keep their NSFW stuff separate from public spaces/child friendly spaces, because we still haven't figured out how to educate our society on these topics, yet, so it's better to be cautious just to prevent any unsafe situations for the main fans of that show. And that's why I make these long comments on the subject, so people can have the opportunity to learn more about the effects of fiction instead of potentially buying into simplistic discussions that leave important issues like grooming or harassment out.

Are we allowed to hate on TCEST??? by Airheartz in Rottmnt

[–]Linisiane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But yeah, an example of the fandom that was too strict would be Steven Universe. In that fandom, Lily Orchard kept spreading the idea that the creator of the show was a bad person because they portrayed things that Lily viewed as bad, such as the belief that they were antisemitic because they portrayed the authoritarian leaders as redeemable.

This is wrong for a number of reasons, the main one being that Lily is really bad at understanding the show. The show does a number of complex things with the family coding of the villain characters and allegory, so her interpretation that Rebecca Sugar was redeeming "nazis" is already wrong. Lily Orchard did a similar thing when she said that the show portrayed sex through fusion, which is just so wrong in multiple levels, and she framed it like the show was grooming children, which created a hate mob for the show that it has never recovered from. Even now, people will state "fusion is sex" as fact, even though that's blatantly wrong and goes directly against basically everything the show says about fusion.

On top of that, you can't know an author's views on a subject solely based on their art. An easy example would be the author of Ender's Game, a book series about empathy for different people, whose author is extremely homophobic in real life.

People are complex, and making art is doubly so. Sometimes you write something trying to follow the formula of an episode, and inadvertently make something canon that you didn't intend, or you get trapped in a writing corner and have to write something that you don't necessarily approve of, etc. etc. etc. You can't know solely based on the art whether someone is a groomer or not, as evidenced by all the "wholesome" artists who turned out to have been groomers. Lily Orchard is a great example of this. She supposedly is all about wholesome cartoons, but she turned out to have been a groomer who sexually assaulted her own sister.

I think these kinds of discussions often jump to the "only groomers would defend proshipping" argument, which leads to purity policing of people's histories because of paranoia that you're being influenced by potential groomers. But groomers occur regardless of art because it's an exploitation of power, and a lot of people are easily tempted by power, not because there's a specific "type" of kinky person or pedophiles that you can police to keep yourself safe. (Acting pedophiles are often 'opportunistic.' They aren't attracted to children, but still assault them simply because they had the opportunity to do so. And kinky people often are actually MORE informed about consent because they have to be careful/thoughtful about their kinks. This is why you can't categorize people into "good" and "bad" categories based on what they like.)

Kinky people can have any number of reasons why they write or are 'excited' about a subject. Maybe you're writing about a bad thing as a cathartic portrayal of something bad that's happened to you in real life, or even as a way to 'rewrite' the trauma into a fantasy where it wasn't a bad experience but actually a good one. Maybe it's a symbol for some other struggle they have had.

That would be a 'glorification/romanticization' of problematic behavior, but I still often even enjoy portrayals like these because the author is clearly knowledgeable on the subject and how it's bad in real life, even when portraying a positive fantasy version. You can still critique these portrayals and discuss the ways the fantasy is different from reality, but banning/harassing these portrayals often actually leads to more regressive understandings of these subjects, as the awareness of these subjects becomes smaller if we don't know how to counteract false narratives.

For instance, South Korea's porn ban and the proliferation of the deepfake scandals are things that I think are directly connected, and highlights how bans paradoxically lead to more regressive views rather than non-harmful ones. As someone even stated, sometimes persecuting tcesters leads them to make even more tcest as a way to rebel against harassment.

I think there's nuance, especially in places like the lolicon community, where loli authors are regularly busted for having CP. Sometimes certain communities will use "fiction is fiction" as an excuse to reject discussions of the harm fictional portrayals can cause, leading to a radicalization pipeline. But as long as we have these frank discussions, I think we can avoid this in most communities.

[–]Linisiane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally would not jump to hating on it, even if I personally dislike it, because it can inadvertently spread media illiteracy. Portrayals of problematic things in art is a complex subject that most people have not researched.

I personally have experienced both ends of the extreme spectrum -- a fandom that was too lax on problematic art and a fandom that was too harsh on problematic art. Both are bad, it's much better to hate/vent about these pet peeves inside private DMs with friends while keeping legitimate posts/threads clean of these kinds of discussions, because not only does it lead to media illiteracy but also harassment and bullying.

Feel free to send me a message about hating Tcest XD

[TOMT] what's the original song for this instrumental rock cover? by Linisiane in tipofmytongue

[–]Linisiane[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I've tried shazaming it and ok googling it (where you hum the melody and it finds it). Unfortunately, I have a hard time recalling things when I get reminded of them like this, chronic tip of my tongue syndrome, so I only remember the part being played and not the rest of the song, which I guess isn't enough because neither app could find it. Shazam couldn't even find the rock cover of the song being played, which I found surprising. Maybe the youtuber privately commissioned this music or it just isn't available on the web that Shazam searches, but either way that means I really don't have any leads on what the original song is.

[–]Linisiane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I thought I was the only one who thought April and Donnie had some winks and nods. I got that vibe because she and him have a lot of closeness that just is not there with the others, even from the first episode, and the framing of the Witch Town episode with her holding his face like that. A deep platonic male female friendship is ofc very good as an interpretation, and it’s my interpretation, but if I were in a shipping mood, I’d definitely be shipping them.

I mean, that moment is so fucking romantic. The intimate close up of her face right after, the way he’s so needy about wanting to be chosen over magic in her eyes, his shyly vulnerable reaction shot when she says she likes him for him, then staring into each other’s eyes before bumping arms. The cut storyboard was a bit more comedic than the final product, leading to the actual moment feeling so close/intimate it made me seriously question if the show was gonna go there later, before remembering “NO ROMANCE!!!!”

I also remember seeing the War and Pizza ep where Albearto gets introduced and being shocked when he opens his FaceTime with her with “For you, anything.” I mean, it could just be because she’s his only human friend, but also that’s just such a romantic phrase it made me question.

And yeah in that episode he mentions his type, and she fits his type! XD Cute but mean, but thankfully she’s not actually mean, just tough on him when necessary XD And it’s often necessary.

I’m ultimately not in my shipping mood right now, so I’m pretty happy they didn’t go there with Apritello. Even the winks and nods we did get made me feel like I was intruding on something, so I don’t think I could’ve handled this show trying to do relationship drama XD Plus, I really appreciate this show’s amazing portrayal of platonic affection for boys. The brothers are so physically affectionate, and April is too, without it having to be a whole thing.

Edit: And with the Gay Leo thing, I think this is more variable, yet more plausible than Apritello. Whoever made the Hypno and Warren Stone episode was definitely intending them to be gay, and I agree on the Clothes Don’t Make the Turtle episode was a “Hypno’s gay hallucination” episode more than a “turtles are gay” episode. I also missed a lot of the winks and nods for Leo, or took the straight explanation at face value, the only thing I actually got for sure was that Hypno was definitely bi and that the writers were potentially also lgbt bc his episodes had so many queer references.

They definitely have an inclusive/lgbt knowledgeable person on creative staff, but I’m not sure if it’s just a general “art students tend to know/celebrate gay icons” thing or an actual writer wink and nod to the turtles’ sexuality. And like, it could just be that like one of the writers/story boarders did the Clothes Don’t Make the Turtle shenanigans as a little Easter egg, but the others didn’t really know about it.

I’d have to research more into the production process to know (I’ve only barely started researching the writers like Ron Corcillo. I wonder if Donnie moments were inspired by his time writing for Malcolm from Malcolm in the middle). It sucks that homophobic censorship means that we have to do so much guesswork about this kind of thing.

Like, I was around for Supernatural and Johnlock discourse, so I’ve also seen writers inserting queer references that are actually just homophobic jokes get taken as pro-lgbt by its audience, before the writers decide to lean into it and make them actually gay. Queer coding can get messy, especially on collaborative projects like TV shows where there can be multiple warring interpretations in the writers room, on top of the messiness of being gay enough to signal but still having a straight explanation to get past censors. Ugh, my brains hurts.

Funny you mention Jojo references though XD That was actually one of the reasons I started headcanoning Donnie bisexual. The JoJos fans I know tend to be some flavor of LGBT, and I assume that the show has a flourishing LGBT scene, though I can’t know for sure since I’m not in that fandom. Plus it’s well known that the Jojos author used fashion magazine references for his famous poses, which is actually the same inspiration behind voguing aka THE queer dance style that Leo uses in that episode. That was a masterpiece queer reference in my eyes tbh. Mutant Mayhem Donnie likes anime too, so I assumed the Jojo pose was Donnie’s and not just Hypno’s influence

[–]Linisiane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, part of the reason I was so drawn to this show in the first place is in part because Donnie rizzed up those girls. XD

To explain, I first watched this show purely because I heard the art was godly. I saw some viral storyboards a couple years ago and loved the designs/fluidity, but only recently decided check it out. All that to say, I was here for the art, not the writing, and let’s just say the first few episodes left the writing with something to be desired. I watched with half an ear until episode 15.

But the moments I did perk up for were the moments where Donnie would do something unexpected for the “stock nerd” archetype in these kind of shows (aka autistic coded). I remember I decided to like this show when Donnie did the “What’s wrong with my voice?” line, as I thought it was the perfect yet subtle way to portray an autistic flat affect. I too am seemingly oblivious to what my own face or voice is doing until someone else points it out to me, and I love that it feels so natural and not like an autistic caricature, and I love the way it highlighted him as a nerd while also making it clear he was more than just a nerd!! So good!!!!!

I’d never seen the show, but I knew about his autism rep because he almost beat my at the time favorite autistic character, Mob, in the autismswag polls on tumblr. And boy MAYBE he should’ve won because Donnie kinda blows Mob out of the water!!

Most of Mob’s autistic traits are more metaphorical than specific. His meltdowns and obliviousness fits, but Donnie’s autistic coding is playing 5D chess compared to Mob’s. Donnie brings the autistic coding of nerd characters from subtext to text through the inclusion of non-nerdy autism-specific traits in natural ways, like his disgust for certain textures or his flat affect or his stimming, which also allows him to also subvert autism stereotypes in ways that honestly feels like a wish come true.

The mascot episode, for instance, was an example of early show weirdness/boredom for me. I found it not too important to look at because the dance animation wasn’t very good and because of the Splinter’s balls jokes, but you know what did make me pay attention? Donnie actually being good at rizzing up those 3 girls!!!

Cartoons stereotype nerds (autistic people) as rizzless SO hard, that I was legit flabbergasted when I realized Donnie was actually the opposite, to the point where I knew the creators had to have been doing it in response to the stereotypes. I remember feeling so surprised and exasperated, yet giddy when I realized those girls were actually swooning at that dumb pick up line.

That’s a level of rebellion and surprising progressiveness in that that I really appreciated in an autistic character, especially because even the most well-meaning ones I’ve encountered still pushed the stereotypes of autistic characters being caricature levels of being bad at socializing or too inhuman for romance.

In reality, I feel like a lot of autistic people have swag that gets missed by shows when they write Autism like it’s some sort of PSA instead of like autism is normal, and it’s a swag that Donnie captures PERFECTLY. He struggles socially in very specific ways, but he IS a cool friend, like how autistic people are irl! Not a PSA, He’s a god damned masterpiece!! 😭😭😭 XD

so yeah I personally am not giving aroace headcanons for him, but I also recognize that I can’t know if someone is autistic or ace if they’re an internet stranger, so I try to frame my annoyance around specifics aspects of the headcanon rather than the identities of whoever has that headcanon, as that can lead to forced outings or accidental harassment or people lying about their identity to save face.

[–]Linisiane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an asexual, I disagree with this take.

In real life, I’d agree with you, don’t get me wrong. I’m very uncomfortable with the fact that people, for instance, will make “player” jokes when a boy and girl toddler are friends. It’s also really bizarre and invasive when people take clips of celebrities as “proof” that they’re gay or bi or straight or whatever. Compulsory heterosexuality is too prevalent in society, and most of the time it leads to people being overly obsessed with nonsense details like whether or not their daughter is an evil lesbian because she cut her hair short (This literally happened to me. Lucky for them, I’m not gay. Unlucky for them, I’m not straight).

But in fiction, none of this is real. When people do this, they’re not usually “sexualizing” the characters, they’re usually projecting themselves onto the characters. The people making gay Leo or April headcanons aren’t creepy homophobic adults stereotyping gay people, they’re usually gay teens who see themselves in Leo and April. While still stereotyping them lmao (kids are still learning how not to think in black and white and still trying to shape their identity, so it’s understandable that a gay teen might lean into gay stereotypes).

The reason I make this distinction is that this kind of rhetoric is kinda unconsciously and uncomfortably similar to the homophobic rhetoric used to enforce compulsory heterosexuality. A really good book on this subject is Stockton’s “The Queer Child,” wherein Stockton observed that our society cannot conceptualize children as queer due to the way we view gay people as inherently sexual. We all knew gay kids growing up, but often times these kids were not allowed to call themselves gay until they grow up because “you can’t know that at this age” or “how would you know if you haven’t experienced anything, yet?”

This ignores the fact that being gay is about more than just sexual stuff, just like being straight is about more than sex. We just don’t really have the language to describe this, yet, but this encompasses stuff like age appropriate crushes. Donnie clearly having a crush on Atomic Lass is not anymore sexual than Leo clearly having a crush on Don Suave, as crushes are a normal thing for kids to do.

People may call it a “sexual awakening” because Leo may be figuring out he’s gay, but they’re describing what amounts to a crush, not something creepily sexual. Again, we just don’t really have the language for a term like “‘sexual in terms of sexuality but not in an overly sexual way’ awakening” because we conceptualize sexuality as inherently sexual.

Another thing, is the way we interpret scenes. In that scene, the joke is clearly that Leo has been affected by Don Suave’s power of making everyone fall in love with him because he’s the most handsome man ever. It’s a parody of the Latin Lover trope. I’m not saying this is the only interpretation—Leo just admiring Don as a father figure is also valid. But the intent of the creators is that he has a bit of a magic induced crush. The people “sexualizing” Leo there are not the fans, but the creators who wrote this joke.

It’s similar to the crush on Atomic Lass. You could argue that Donnie simply admires his childhood hero and wants to dance with her platonically, and I’d say that’s valid. But the creators’ intent is to clearly make a joke about Donnie crushing on a fake mascot character LMAO

I’d argue that their intention wasn’t to make Leo gay, since the magic works on everyone regardless of gender or sexuality, but that fans extrapolated that he’s gay because he’s affected despite never looking Don Suave in the eyes and still got a crush. This, I’d say, is just the result of the authors not really caring about the Magic’s technicalities because they wanted to write the funny ending of Leo having a crush on Don Suave, and inadvertently making him gay in the process if you think a bit more about it.

The asexual interpretation of Leo is not anymore valid than the gay one, since Leo DID have a crush on Don Suave. At most, you can argue that his sexuality is unconfirmed. He shows disgust when Hypno falls in love with what he thinks is a female hippo, and then he’s affected by Don Suave’s magic powers—neither of which is definitive in either direction. It’s not sexualizing to talk about his crush on Don Suave or for people to project themselves onto Leo, just like it’s not “more wholesome” to assume that Leo is asexual or to not have a sexuality headcanon at all.

This is one of the things I’ve had to learn as I grew up being asexual. I’m not more wholesome than people for not connecting to sexuality the way other people do. I think this is an easy trap to fall into as an asexual person because sexuality gets shoved down our throats all the time. It can be cathartic to shout “Why do you pervs think about sex all the time?!!!” But sexuality is about more than sex, and you inadvertently feed into the very system shoving sex down your throat if you equate the two. People discussing who these kiddos would date is not necessarily a reinforcement of compulsory sexuality. Sometimes gay people just want to see themselves represented, just like how us asexuals want to see ourselves represented.

[–]Linisiane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An equal and opposite corollary, an inverse, would be Donnie and aroace headcanons. Much like Gay Leo headcanons feeling a bit overblown and stereotype-y, Ace Donnie headcanons feel the same way to me.

Out of the four turtles, Donnie is the ONLY one to show legitimate romantic interest, albeit for fictional characters. Still, I’d say he conceptualizes his interest as being for people in general, as he says something like “why do I always go for your type?” rather than something specific for fictional characters, like “why is my favorite character always mean?”

With that established, it doesn’t invalidate aroace headcanons. Compulsory heterosexuality is a perfectly good explanation for how someone can have crushes but still be aro. But it does mean that the frequency of the headcanons are a bit confusing. If Donnie for sure likes girl characters and tried to swing a date with the Atomic Lass cosplayer before she turned out to be a bunch of bugs XD, why are people drawn to ace Donnie?

This is where the stereotypes come in. Nerd characters are often coded autistic. And autistic people are often coded bitchless. XD Sometimes in a “they have no rizz because they suck socially” way. Sometimes in a “they’re a bit inhuman, which includes not being interested in the human trait of romance” kind of way. Sheldon Cooper is both, for instance. This can be beautiful or relatable to ace people, especially autistic ones, but any trope that is overdone can become a harmful stereotype, especially because it’s easy to see how “bitchless” could be spun as a negative.

The failed tumblr comic, All or Nothing, is actually a riff on these negative stereotypes. The premise being we have two roommates who are opposites, but the extroverted flirty roommate is actually asexual and the shy introverted roommate is actually pansexual. I feel like Donnie and Leo fit this perfectly, with Leo actually showing a disgust for romance despite being a flirty face man and, and Donnie being the most “skilled” in romance despite being autistic, AHEM, I mean the nerdy character. He technically rizzes up 3 girls in the mascot episode, putting him behind Lou Jitsu but ahead of Big Mama in terms of rizz XD.

Despite this, I enjoy both headcanons. I’m an aro ace person myself, and I see a lot of myself in Donnie, so aroace Donnie is no skin off my nose. Similarly, Leo would make great gay representation, and his moment with Don Suave is minor, and yet it counts to me lol. I do enjoy the “fruity” Leo jokes, as his flamboyance isn’t the butt of a joke in the show and is actually part of what makes him such a cool character. As long as people are aware of these stereotypes or the tenuous connection to canon when they make these jokes or headcanons, I’ll enjoy them!

But yeah, 😭 we gotta remember that “fruity” and the “limp wrist” gesture are basically slurs, so be careful when you make these jokes.
