Fandom Contraversy

First thing’s first I want to thank the people here in the jojo fandom who try not to be toxic. Lately I’ve realized that fandoms can hellishly toxic and thus I’ve been keeping my distance from them andpeople in general. I am however grateful that I can find little corners to have some level of sanity as it’s hard to do this when dealing with fandom in general.

I had left the jojo fandom because of toxicity and nonsense before but wow, I’ve found places much, much worse so I’m now just going to go ahead and be greatful and thankful for the kind and sensible people who are in the jojo fandom.

That being said, this post is NOT about anything pertaining to JoJo so you can kindly skip this if you want. Or reblog this as a warning to stay far, far away from theis particular fandom as ‘there are monsters’ is more than just an expression here.

THERE IS LITERALLY A SEXUALITY AND GENDER WAR GOING ON TO FIND SEXUAL PARTNERS FOR UNDERAGE CHARACTERS AND ONE, WHO IS STUCK IN THE BODY OF LITTLE KID.

The jjba fandom as far as I know didn’t go there… unless I missed something. So for those here in the jojo fandom thank you for having some level of decency.

Now without further ado…

Note: This going to be a 2 part post because of the length. Below is the first portion.

Dragon quest 11 two post Pt 1:

Alright, let’s talk about a serious issue going on in this fandom. Specifically, the overt sexualization of minors and when I say minors I’m speaking about Eleven and Veronica. At first I kept quiet about it and just ignore it ( like most others in this fandom). I tried to let everyone have their own space in the fandom. However I can no longer stay quiet because I’ve realized what kind of fandom this is.

There is a disturbed sexual obsession with the previously mentioned underaged characters and it’s tearing our fandom apart. This issue is the exact reason why the fandom won’t grow. Arguments over characters sexuality (specifically Erik) in order to depict him in inappropriate sexual relationships with children. This issue simply could be solved by aging up both Eleven and Veronica. Conversely, there are adults (Erik, Jade, Sylvando, Jasper and Hendrik) that you can safely sexualize. But no, many people in this fandom have chosen NOT to do this and instead decided to partake in child pornography. Even worse, you have brought adults into this situation (mostly Erik) to participate in sexual acts with minors.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, writers and artists of this community (not all but many) have decided to participate in these acts via “cruising”. And by cruising I mean using the characters as surrogates for theirselves to engage in inappropriate behavior. Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with cruising through characters in fiction as many of us find characters relatable in one way or another. But the problem here is what you choose to do with said surrogate. 

There are two main cruises that are being used in this fandom and they are both damaging. Those two cruises being:

Erik

Because of personal feelings of inadequacy, Erik’s character is purposely misinterpreted to fit the mold of said cruiser. Pieces and parts of him are intentionally erased to create a surrogate for the creator/viewer’s selves. These people have a sexual obsession with Veronica (especially her child form) and will use Erik to do the deed. And by that I mean to participate in acts of pedophilia. Mind you, Erik himself barely even interacted with this character on screen but because of the cruiser’s desire for Veronica they over exaggerate his relationship with her and make it sexual in nature. 

The next cruise: 

Eleven (the Luminary)

We know is the Luminary is supposed to represent two people, the player and himself. So it is expected for him to be used as a surrogate. But the issue lies within people choosing not to age him up in their works. Not everyone does this and some people do age him up which is appreciated. But for those who don’t their a huge part of the problem in the fandom, the sexual attraction to minors in the series.

There are people that are very uncomfortable with this. They feel trapped and thus they won’t speak up. It feels like pedophilia is the norm here and everyone who’s not here for it stay in silent corners of the fandom or leave. And worse many won’t even join and it’s been like this for years ever since the game’s release in 2017.

This needs to stop there needs to be a change. People should be able to feel comfortable in a fan space. It’s unfair for everyone that doesn’t want to participate in this kind of behavior. I love dq xi as much as the next person but please, stop doing this and be mindful of other fans.
