Related to problem #3168, as someone who is bi, I agree as there are some people in the fandom who really do think that making a character LGBT “improves” their character. I have no problems with LGBT headcanons as I wrote some myself as well, I just don’t want to see people going to war over a sexuality headcanon.

Comic book fans of a TV Show adaption be like:
“You haven’t read issue 123456abcde so you can’t call yourself a fan, as you would know this if you had read 123456abcde”

The eyerolling arrogance of minors on a 17+ website in adult fandoms screaming at adults for being in their space.
And thats ontop of shoving their way into everything including their feet into their mouths instead of lurking and learning the ropes. And then they attack adults for not coddling them.
Freaking tiiiiired of it. Be chill, younglings. Mind yer manners.

The Dream SMP community on Twitter is one of the saddest, most hypocritical communities I’ve ever seen. Telling each other to off themselves over opinions, harassing horror artists because ‘Your Art Triggered My Fictive Alter’. I’d like to see them go into any other community and try to pull the same things.
It used to be a place where I felt safe, but Twitter has ruined it for me
The streamers of the Dream SMP? Fantastic. They’re all great. The fandom? Horrid

When will people understand that there isn’t “neutral on anti-anti discourse”? You think harassing people over what they enjoy in fiction is okay or you don’t. If you think harassment is wrong “EXCEPT for those GROSS ships” you’re anti. If you personally dislike certian ships but still don’t think people deserve harassment over it, you’re anti-anti. This isn’t hard.

In Season 2 of a show I watch, the lead female was revealed to be bisexual, and the showrunner has confirmed she’ll have a girlfriend in Season 3. I’m all for this, but I worry about fans treating it as her sole defining trait.
NARUTO FANDOM, FANDOM IS NOT ACTIVISM. LIKING A CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY ARE REVOLUTIONARY IS FINE, DISLIKING THEM IS FINE TOO. IT DOESN’T DO ANYONE DAMAGE. WE ALL HAVE CRITICAL THINKING SKILL, STFU. (I’M LOOKING AT MY WHITE AMERICAN FRIENDS, I’M SURE YOU’RE ALL ALIVE AND WELL AND CHILLING AT THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME).

When writing gay characters, writers often forget that lgbt people are people first and lgbt second. Thus when writing them, the characters seem unnatural, forced, or shoehorned. Most of the time it’s because we’re being used as marketing tools, but sometimes it’s because people don’t know how to write in lgbt characters without seeming homophobic.
Just a piece of advice: Write people. Just write a character, with a personality, traits, a backstory, etc. Being gay doesn’t have to be a part of their overall character, just a trait they have as a person. It doesn’t add or take away from the character, because they are normal.

Fandom problem: some folks really form a superiority/victim complex over wanting to ship pedo and incest ships and get upset when normal ass people say it’s gross as fuck
