the artist formerly known as krusca. my fandom scribbles+wips+musings (lots o stevetony but also other ships too)
happy saturday but w t f.. (truth slash fiction)
so i woke up early to try and get a table for SacAnime (and failed they sold out in 4 mins) but anyways
the trailer for it dropped but its abt a bunch of (straight) girls writing RPS fanfic?? what the actual fuck??????????????????????????????????????????????
its based on 1D Larries and theyre freaking out but im sitting here disgusted like, are they srsly fetishizing queerness and making the main charcs hets and trying to make a tv show out of that like , wtf..... this is horrible like look at what the director writers are saying
yes its gr8 how fandom and fics can bring anyone together and write wonderful things but??? oh my god this is a bunch of (probably straight) white grown men making a show abt fandom and fanfic and my skin is c r a w l i n g
i genuinely dont care what ppl ship but this is mainstream media exploiting fandom as "Quirky Fun Things Str8 Teen Girls Do" and queerness is "hot" as if it some sort of fantasy for str8 ppl, this is literally using queerness as enertainment for straight ppl...... this is gonna make SO MANY QUEER PPL HATE FANDOM AND NEVER JOIN IT this is just , so awful if it does get picked up by any networks its gonna do SO MUCH DAMAGE i hate this so much
@pensversusswords did a great thread on twitter on why this is super gross
like. jfc i KNOW fandom i wide and diverse and yea 1D does seem to be str8 teen girls but fuck this is why fandoms going down the drain fandom is a community it shouldnt be dragged out into the public to either be mocked at (like when interviewers show fanart or reaf fics to celebs) or for str8 white men to exploit and tell OUR narrative of to make money off of us?????
thoughts? disagreements? outrage?







Ugh, I fucking hate this.
Fandom helped me accept being gay. Gave me an outlet to write some stories. Gave me stories that mirrored my own experiences and helped me come to terms that happened to me.
Sure, some parts of fandom has its faults. We've all seen how blatantly racist/misogynistic it can be, and it's definitely weird/uncomfortable at times (for me, personally) being a gay guy in fandom and seeing shit like "a straight conversion camp AU would be soooo cute" or "xyz is a man's man and doesn't have those wimpy emotion that you all write about."
But to make fandom entirely about straight girls (Furthermore, most likely all white, ignoring the fact that there's plenty of PoC in fandom from outside of just america, whose cultural experiences also shape fandom for them [Also ignoring Fandom providing a space for exchange of ideas internationally]) is just.... such a major disservice.
yea fandom DOES have its faults no doubt, considering ppl in fandom are born and raised in todays shitty society, but at the same time its such an outlet for creativity esp for the marginalized groups of ppl ...so this show made by (im assumign) str8 white men feat, str8 white girls is just ://///
(plus the fact its about RPS just....kinda makes my skin crawl because its only gonna encourage those young kids to harass real celebs...)
