Male dominated fandoms Anonymous 27324

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

Anonymous 27325

I can really relate, it used to not bother me, but I play quite a few gatcha games, e.g. azur lane, fgo, and I'm attached to characters but the complete lack of actual woman can be pretty depressing. Yuri anime and media has also been spoiled to an extent by the male fan base that it's surrounded by.

Anonymous 27326

touhou in particular has become completely ruined by its moid fandom in recent years
there's an infestation of pedo moids who only like it because of the younger looking/loli characters, a ton of annoying autistic male trannies (a lot of which are also pedos of course) and moids who don't care for the games or anything else except for the touhou porn doujins and nonstop sexualize the characters
vocaloid is another one that got ruined in recent years too, and mlp of course
at least otome game fandoms and shoujo anime fandoms will always be majority women - and most of these fandoms especially the otome ones seem to have little to no troons in them which is always a plus

Anonymous 27328

A lot of Touhou artists have been female, but unfortunately that's not enough to keep the Touhou fandom less scrotey. I posted about it somewhere else but it must be hard to husbando Rinnosuke (I've seen a couple of Japanese Rinnosuke yumes) basically everyone else (moids) only use him for harem jokes and as a self-insert and most male artists can't draw him for shit.

>>27326
I've seen ever seen a single male troon who is into otome games. However, I've seen plenty of TIFs who play it, which is very telling lol. Sadly shoujo fandoms aren't completely safe from the moid cancer.

Anonymous 27331

I prefer female characters and things centred around women, unfortunately men do too. It seems most other weeb women are into otome games and male centred stuff but I tend to enjoy those less especially now that I have a bf.
Even if I do meet a woman who's into what I'm into, she's usually a handmaiden and would probably stop talking to me if she found out my views on trannies. Or she goes by they/them.
I feel your struggle and it sucks.
I want more female friends with similar interests but I can't force myself to like what I don't like and neither can they. Friendship making seems pretty hopeless for me. I'm just waiting until my desire to make friends will die off.

There are actually a lot of women who are into female-centric media, like Love Live, but sometimes, especially if it's very male-oriented, the female fans are pickmes and that's kind of annoying too

when i watched watamote i thought the fandom is full of women because its relatable to socially outcasted women it’s hard to believe sometimes it’s made by a male although some few things feels like its from a male perspective but the fandom is filled with males no wonder why the manga now became shitty now it’s just yuri fanservice for coomers if the fandom wasn’t full of scrotes the manga will have still been good

i hate how women don’t gatekeep female dominated fandoms take kpop for example since it became popular fanboys are in every fandom these fanboys are so disgusting they sexualize kpop girls even underage ones they act edgy they’re so annoying women don’t mind moids existence in their spaces unlike males we should gatekeep fandoms the best way to gatekeep fandoms from males is making it full of fujos i used to spam johanxtenma gay sex fanarts in monster tags just to make moids less interested in the anime it made moids so pissed

I remember discovering Watamote on Facebook when every cringe anime fan from my region wouldn't shut the fuck up about it and most of them were scrotes who didn't even know what otome was. It was so popular that it put me off and I wouldn't watch it until its popularity waned and I realized it would be fun to watch as a fujoyume and former awkward otaku myself. I love that anime so much because weird, plain, creepy female geeks are VERY RARELY represented in anime, and Tomoko hit really close to home (but not in a bad way! in a funny and heartwarming way).
But now I sort of can't help associating Tomoko with a tranny avatarfag from another imageboard on top of her being seen as just another waifu for coomer lolicon scrotes. Women should be louder about the things they like.
>it’s hard to believe sometimes it’s made by a male
I'm not sure how true this is, from what I've heard the story is by a male and the art by a woman. When 4fags sent dick pics to the author(s), she/they(?) left an author's comment in some manga volume about how they had never seen a penis before. So there's at least one woman in the team. Also AFAIK Watamote is published on a "unisex" magazine so it's not like it's only for a male audience.

>>27336
Unfortunately, girls are socialized to be too nice and inclusive and not speak up for themselves while moids are selfish, loud, abrasive and invasive. Males want us out of """their""" hobbies and online spaces? Well, we should kick them out of every female space (online and IRL) and female-dominated fandom as well. It's only fair.
>the best way to gatekeep fandoms from males is making it full of fujos
Not just fujos, moids also hate yumes and any other woman who sexualizes male characters (they call them all fujos because moids are retarded)

I am used to it I guess. It doesn't bother me really, facts are that anything with girls in it is going to have a subset of male fans of varying size. They increasingly pander to this fans and meanwhile the shows made for women are the ones with tons of men in them which can be offputting to me. Those reverse harems gross me out, I would be fucking scared if I was the only girl in a house full of men.

I've seen a few tifs into newer otomes but most the older or more obscure ones (like hakuouki) are usually safe even from tifs or maybe I've just been lucky and not encountered them yet lol
fandom for shoujo like kimi ni todoke, kamisama kiss, nana, etc seem to be mostly moid free - I guess the newer and/or more popular it is the more likely that moids and troons will flock to it and shit up the fandom

a lot of people who refuse to pander to their delusions have started calling them tifs (or tims for male trannies)

Anonymous 27375

TIF is a term that trans rights activists (TRAs) and FtM transgenders/"trans men" hate because it implies that the trans "man" is actually just a female who merely identifies as a man and isn't actually a male (which is true and used to be the accepted view, but you can't say it anymore). In other words, TIF = the "TERF" way to say "trans man". They don't call themselves TIFs, they call themselves transmen because the accepted way of referring to trans people now is by their chosen gender identity to "affirm" this identity and not make them feel "dysphoric", effectively encouraging their delusions.
It can also apply to any girl/woman who identifies as non-binary or any other made-up bullshit that isn't their actual sex (female).

There's a lot of TIFs in otome fandom in recent years. They try to create their own otome games that are more "inclusive" and have non-binary or transmasc (and even transfem) characters. Unfortunately for them, most of those games are hideous, boring and few become popular. Since actual otome games must by definition have a female protagonist and a male cast of love interests, genderspecials have created a new romance game genre called "Amare" which is where all those ugly Western games with "diverse" casts would fit. However this somehow hasn't stopped TIFs from demanding to be pandered to in otome games.

Many girl groups are actually targeted towards men in Korea but otherwise I agree with this. I like to lurk dead livejournals and fansites and it was nice how unapologetically female they where. It's not that they went out of their way to discuss how something appealed to women but they just enjoyed what they liked without worrying about men. Nowadays you have to see a gazillion "it hurts mens feelings when women like attractive characters and actors so it's important we uplift fat men who are they same age as our fathers to not make them sad" takes between fandom posting because got forbids that women has any sort of powerfantasy.

Sometimes you do find a woman who has been active in the same fandom for 20 years but it's extremely rare. And they also have stopped producing content. They just pop in to occasionally chat with other old fans or make short metas. Which I do appreciate. It's nice that they haven't left the fandom even if they have no time/desire to make fics and fanart. They still have the mentality that fandom is a female space so it's nice to see them continuing supporting stuff made for women rather than worrying about hurting men's feelings.
There are also cases where you do find a woman who was active in your fandom 20-10 years ago but she has switched over to making fanworks for some children's manga which sucks but as long as they keep the women only mentality I'm not complaining.
I get stupidly emotional when I think about this subject because even though I was geeky 10 years ago I never really participated in fandom for different reasons. If someone had warned me how bad fandom would become I would have participated when you could be a woman without having to apologise for literally everything
>>28399

I like shipping and headcanons but I get this. I think it takes up too much of fandom. My favourite fandom thing is metas but those are rare and even then the meta writers have tendency to mix up the official source material with the version they made up in their head.
Male fandom spaces sucks because it's all about listing trivia to prove you are the most knowledgeable and getting the biggest collection. There is no deeper discussion. And while female fandom spaces do have deeper discussion it's only from a shipping point of view

Basically what >>28694 said. By listing trivia I mean going "uhm actually the lore in episode 15 contradict itself because in the spin off book written in 1996 it is said that […]". Metas focus more on getting a better understanding of the characters and the world they live in and how it effects their daily lives while trivia listing is just stating the facts without looking much deeper into it

I've never seen moids just do trivia and nothing else though. If anything they're more interested in how the plot will twist so they like to go back and reread stuff a lot to see if they're being accurate. Female fans ime will read something once, take a liking to certain ships and come up with theories based on that, then never read it back again and go straight to making fanart or something. I guess I've always just gravitated to talking about plot more which has landed me in more male dominated fan spaces than female.

I hate scrotes in fandom more than anything else. They bring their degeneracy with them and ruin everything they touch. So when you're surrounded by that it's hard to even stay interested. Even if you block and stay away from every hint of them online you still have to acknowledge they exist every now and then especially when they directly interact with the subject. If women stopped coddling them too maybe some of them would be able to be shamed into shutting up and staying away.

in my experience, the worst thing about male dominated fandoms arent even the males themselves; theyre easy to spot and avoid especially if you pick your platforms carefully, but it feels like the more "masculine" a fandom is, the more women who are into it will be some flavor of genderspecial he/him, which ruins such a huge part of fandom-produced content.

picrel is the prime example. a show that metaphorically depicts the struggles of being a woman and of how males pitch us against each other, reduced to a misdepiction of it as a brainded moe harem. i wish they would keep eating up their abundance of shit shows and left our stuff alone.

Trannies are rare in Japan (and isn't like the industry tries to catter them anyways) but Precure is known for being progesive in a way because since its a show for kids one of its core themes is acceptance/friendship. They had stuff like boys in dresses, lesbians, black girls etc before which is fine, but I wish they had kept the main group as female-only since there aren't many good media with female role models made for little girls.

To be fair, Touhou has also gotten much more popular in recent years, which is the biggest factor in why the fanbase is so bad nowadays. In my experience there are a lot more women into touhou now than ever.
Which doesn't mean it isn't the moids ruining the fanbase, it definitely is, but back then it was even more male dominated and I could search for touhou pictures without having to filter the massive amount of porn I have to filter now.

On one hand, this stuff does exist and did happen in the show.

I particurlarly hate how a lot of moids in male dominated otaku spaces are obsessed with loli. It's leggit annoying. I see this in touhou/vocaloid/higurashi (fandoms I'm fairly active in) and it's just so tiring. Like why do they have to shoe horn their fetish into the stories/media they like? You could argue that for Higurashi (particularly the VN) you had some distateful loli scenes but even then why focus on cooming to this than the complex story you're reading? I have heard from a moid that the Higurashi fandom has more women than I might initially think but the fandom feels moid infested nonetheless.

Honestly if we are just talking about drawn stuff I don't think it's male dominated. Male leaning maybe. 3dpd though, totally male dominated.
