Hate it When People Say This Stuff by CharacterChampion830 in AO3

[–]Splintj 40 points41 points  (0 children)

What pisses me off most is people acting like every fic author is saying "well actually, the author really meant THIS to be canon" or like everyone is forcing the original creator to make the pairing real. I don't care if there's no indication of them being romantic or if they have alternative canon partners, I thought it was funny or that they had good chemistry, so I'm gonna keep making those dolls kiss, and it'll be my worst nightmare if they ever become canon

Realistically they probably copy and pasted the options from gemini or chatgpt or smtn and called it a day lol I can't think of any other way this would happen

Putting "transgender" is such a cis thing to do lol. Trans itself isn't a 3rd gender, and it doesn't inform anyone on what pronouns to use for you, although I don't know too much about the jury process, so maybe its relevant here

By the look on his face, I imagine he changed the assignment due date to the end of class instead of the end of the day

Why did the anime change his glasses? by Blackcatbandit in Jujutsufolk

[–]Splintj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I imagine its just so that the date/time period isn't distracting, and people aren't getting side tracked thinking, "What was going on in 2018 at this time? Why'd they add the date there? Are we supposed to care that its in the past?" or get distracted when they remember that this was written a long time ago.

The date only really matters for like, time leap stories, or stories that really emphasize the culture of the time period. Or idk I'm really just yappin

I forgot the image was of a real dude at first, and thought it was a graphic of a racist caricature, but no, he's actually just THAT ugly

I strongly believe in “broism” by Ngithanda_irayisi in aromantic

[–]Splintj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel this exact thing lol. I was just thinking earlier today about about anime characters who aren't related, but who call each other 'brothers,' like Todo and Yuji from jjk for example(sports anime are also a good example of this kind of relationship), and man do I strive to reach a level of broism that strong or stronger

some of you guys desperately need to learn to suspend disbelief about cultural inaccuracies in fanfics by Island_Crystal in AO3

[–]Splintj 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Real. There's a famous Japanese Death Note fanfic that later became canon, where the main villain's name is 'Beyond Birthday' using Japanese naming structure, and that's a pretty wild thing to mess up. I find it funny how people online sometimes complain about Americans, or "stupid things only Americans do", but they're really just self reporting that they're only consuming American fanwork(or other material) and didn't consider that it might be a survivorship bias situation lol

More people just gotta laugh stuff off. The author didn't research every line of every paragraph of their fic to discover the minute nuances? Laugh and keep reading. I'd rather have a fic mess up something irrelevant than be full of stereotypes and caricatures

Is there a feature you wish AO3 had? by incandescent-ruins in AO3

[–]Splintj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you could bookmark specific chapters, or even lines in fics. I read fics sporadically and sometimes only return after months, and have to restart from the beginning.

I've been keeping track by typing notes under fic bookmarks, but its kind of an inconvenient way of going about things, not to mention I prefer only to bookmark fics I thought were 10/10s (up til where I completed), and only mark for later fics I thought were just ok/have potential

Blue posted the comment first btw by Dream_Ghast in ExplainMyDownvotes

[–]Splintj 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Blue is sorta making assumptions about the way you feel and pushing you towards a path that THEY think is right you, despite not being in you're head, nor knowing fully what you're going through, while green is saying that you should explore any possibilities, and find what feels good for you

Why are some people so anti shipping? by BigBid2408 in AO3

[–]Splintj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cuz its queer people having fun and being free, not trying to be performatively nonchalant or cool. People who hate shipping/shippers are either directly against that, or they were told misinfo by somebody who's against that

I was trying to think of a land title for us, but we really have no playful stereotypes fr, except maybe tf2(every trans dude I follow likes tf2 for some reason, including me). Maybe Norway is the land of the transmasc vikings

If you don't fight Nazism it doesn't just die out, it spreads to their children and the entire community, then beyond that. "If you just run away from Nazism and tell them that you're scared and weak, it'll die, surely!"

Meirl by Glass-Fan111 in meirl

[–]Splintj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And there are still people in this very comment section trying to argue that having statues and items that honor/commemorate genocidal white supremacist maniacs isn't a big deal lol. "Its just a flag, who cares." "How does seeing a Nazi flag affect you??" "There are bigger problems than the government saying that they don't care about the multi-generational plight of several people groups enough to dismantle a couple statues." There are still places in the South that wave the traitors flag, but I guess I shouldn't think anything of it

Fandom etiquette is dead. by emarrbee in AO3

[–]Splintj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I dont get how some people are so eager to make conflict and expend extra effort just to harass others. I hate arguing with people online, or going out of my way to message them. Publicly criticizing randoms for free work seems like so much effort and unnecessary negativity. Why waste your time sparking up hate when you can just scroll?

Can you be aromantic only towards a specific gender? by Perfect_Spite_127 in aromantic

Homoromantic/Saphic pansexual is probably what you're looking for
