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?







this show frames shipping& fanfic as something outrageous and scandalous like -gasp- there are teen girls to write abt hot guys having sex- and its all done by men...who arent part of fandom
Yeah, I can't see that going anyplace good. Or really any place that's not "look at the silly girls and their weird porn, who would ever imagine that any celebrity or fictional character was gay, haha, so weird, isn't fanfic bizarre and aren't these girls super-obsessed like Twilight fans (BTW did you know 50 Shades of Grey started as a Twilight fanfic? No, we the media haven't mentioned that enough yet?) and isn't female adolescent sexuality just soooo mockable, almost as 'hilarious' as gayness, amirite?"
the actual trailer/what the writer/director is saying seems to imply that they're gonna be a bit more respectful than that but at the same time if the writers dont do that, the fact this show would be part of accessible mainstream media means it WILL be subject to ridicule and perpetuate idea that fandom IS about fetishizing gay men ughhhh i want to get back to when noone knew what fandom was
