Male dominated fandoms Anonymous 27324[Reply]

I really hate being in male dominated fandoms. Touhou is an example (not only is it male dominated but it's tranny infested too). It's kinda lonely. So many male dominated fandoms would become much better if it had a majority of women. I wonder if others feel that way

2hu fans are mostly 30 year old moids, fumofags, or toddlers. huge con of being a large doujin community is that moids constantly repost/create fanon depictions of boring, big breasted 2hus. I have a lot of female touhou friends and saw a some at touhoufest. unfortunately ZUN having same faced syndrome and (admitting to) not being able to draw adult faced characters and having many childlike characters makes for a lot of lolicon scrotes. (see: flan, rumia, cirno/dai, every other irrelevant toddler)

It's the same when you try to get into some history topics eg. Ancient Rome. Being the only female fan leaves the incel fanboys to go after you.

Same. As a preteen I was friends with a lot of nerd girls, both offline and online, so I was surprised to find out that the anime and furry fandoms were actually male-dominated when I had only been exposed to the female side of those as a child and saw them as “girly” hobbies.

Why single out just touhou though? The entire anime fandom in general is full of troons or what could basically be classified as psychologically troon adjacent men. Most normal moids think anime is really dumb or just stereotype it as weird loli tentacle hentai.

One actually good character would be "The Bride" (Beatrix Kiddo) played by Uma Thruman, it just shows that female characters could be written right if one chooses not to force traits onto them…
Still the movie was made by Quentin Tarantino, a mann with the balls of steel and creativity of an autist, not like something a bunch of lesbians on this website would get lol

I think the problem with female leads lies more in the average audience criticizing them 3x as much as the average male character, and writers trying too hard to appease them. Having female leads in pop media is still pretty new, and people arent used to it so of course they immediately tear them apart by critiquing any aspect about them. They can't be too masculine, and they can't be too feminine or else the audience seethes. Writers try so hard to avoid this that you end up with a ton of shitty terrible "girlboss" characters with the feminazi haircut and overly masculine attitude that people hate. Go the other direction to avoid THAT and you get overly sexualized hyper feminine "girl power" tropes that are equally as bad. If writers would just stop listening to the retarded audience and just try to write authentic characters regardless of gender I don't think it would be as big of an issue. Trying to pander to an audience almost never works and always comes off as inauthentic.

I agree but the same hyper critical attitude is applied to female audiences, which it shouldn't.
If the criticism comes from women it shouldn't be dismissed at all.

I Became A Garfield Addict Anonymous 31955[Reply]

I started binge watching everything related to Garfield. Garfield & Friends, the TV specials and even the mediocre live action movies. I've even binge watched the terrible CGI Garfield show and direct to dvd movies. Feels like Garfield is slowly taking over my life.

bluey Anonymous 32615[Reply]

I haven't watched it but for some reason this kids show has a large adult following? Why? What makes childrens shows like Bluey and MLP have such an appeal to adults? Can someone explain it to me?
I understand cartoons like Spongebob, Regular Show, and Adventure Time having a large adult audience (because they have consistent stories, jokes that appeal to all ages, and there can be some nostalgia involved), but why shows like bluey and MLP?

my boyfriend loves this show lol
The brony thing was always mostly a meme among 4chan retards. I get there's nonas who love the show too, don't care, we all know it's true. The thing that makes the Bluey phenomenon truly unusual is the fact that this time a lot of the adults who love it are totally normal and not at all online. It is to be fair, definitely an above average quality kid's show. If I had to deal with kids I'd be much happier watching it than anything else for them but it's still a kid's show.
I saw somebody in a record store buying the official soundtrack and the cashier said to the person buying it "I love this show" and then the buyer said "Yeah I wish I had kids so I had more people to show it to."
Very weird times.

In general I think it's yet another example of culture moving in a direction of perennial childhood. I notice this trend in everything from fashion to television to (especially) music.
The interest in content that is truly "for adults" seems to be disappearing and it's really odd because I see nobody talking about it anywhere.

My niece (4) loves it so we frequently end up watching it when she comes over. It's wholesome and cute and there's occasional jokes put in for adults (nothing dirty or raunchy, mostly the parents being cynical and sassy).

I personally can't watch it for opposite of this reason. Bandit playing with his daughters reminds me too much of my deceased dad.

Because they have an earnest, sincere wholesomeness that you really don't get anywhere else, with characters that have a lot of love and talent poured into them.

Never watched Bluey (and don’t plan to) but I’ve read that it teaches people how to be good parents.

Don’t jump me but I absolutely love Ethel Cains music. I know he’s a troon but his music is just so good. His songs have joined my comfort playlist along with mitski and lana del ray. My favourite songs have to be A House in Nebraska and White Light.

Ridiculously overrated album & artist. A shame that he got popular when there are plenty of women that have done much better songs than this 2deep4u nonsense album.
Chelsea Wolfe, Weyes Blood, Daugther, Frankie Cosmos, Grouper to name a few, and on an extremely niche side there is Yikii, all with excellent albums that convey emotions and a message without being the fetish of a weirdo.

use ai. for a story to work you don't need perfectly matching characters or surrounding as long as your storytelling fixes these flaws. if you're autistic about it then see this step as a draft and not as final product. still the draft allows you to get into the process and produce something

I'm more of a scriptwriter. Have a bunch of ideas for cartoons, and I am even making one myself right now, but I won't reveal what it is. I don't really know what to do with all the other ideas, for now I'm just keeping them for future use. The cartoon I'm making is an enthusiastic endeavor, it's indie. Do I need to have the education at some institution that teaches how to write to score a job as a scriptwriter? Or will a good portfolio do? I've read so many books on writing, so I'd say I know what I'm doing, sorta.

it's been years since I read the VN, so I will pick it up again when the official English version is released. Though it's the Realta Nua edition, which I've not played anyway.
I managed to read it without really knowing any spoilers, as I'd never seen the anime. I just remember, after finishing it, how surprised I was at the fandoms innate hatred for Sakura. She seems to have picked up in popularity these days after the movies, but damn did the fandom hate her back in the day.
I crushed on Saber so hard though after watching the Zero anime.

CV is kino

In Code Veronica you're exploring this mysterious island, you find footage of these two kids feeding a centipede to ants, you meet this crazy guy called Alfred and learn he has a sister, Alfred is accusing you of attacking the island. See that? Mystery, intrigue, who is attacking the island? You eventually find out Wesker is the one attacking the island and he now has superpowers. Then you find out Alexia isn't even alive and Alfred has been going Norman Bates. Then you end up in the Antarctic and kill Alfred, but not before learning Alexia has been alive the whole time

>Best and coolest Claire has ever looked (opening cutscene)

>arguably the best or second best villain after Wesker
>Chris' story is about personal obsession and desire to go it alone endangering those who care about him
>Claire is trapped in the heart of a recreation of Arklay
>Wesker taunts him over his failure to protect his sister and avenge his comrades
>Steve is another failure for him, his death literally benefitting Wesker
>Alexia and Alfred represent a twisted dynamic for Chris and Claire, where Alfred will do anything to reunite with his sister, only to die just before it happens
>the literal reason for Claire getting wrapped in two outbreaks is because of her search for Chris, but the one on Rockfort specifically was caused by Wesker
>when Claire meets Wesker, he describes himself as a "Ghost" coming back to haunt Chris
>Wesker acts a literal representation of why Chris is fighting against Umbrella- to avenge his fallen comrades, so when Chris meets Wesker in the Rockfort Base, Wesker beats him down because Chris has gotten sidetracked from his original goal thanks to his desire to protect his family (this also ties into the parallels between Chris/Claire, Alexia/Alfred and Steve)
