Okay. This had been building for a few months now, but i've really just had it.
Excuse my French (and you
know when I curse on the internet I mean business), but...
I am sick and
FUCKING tired of fandom.
Seriously. I've had it.
I mean, what happened t othe good old days? I remember when fandom meant drawing and writing stuff about characters and anime/manga/video games you genuinely loved, characters you loved and respected. Now all I see is ass-loads (pardon the pun) of yaoi, mary Sues, and character derailment.
Now, i'll admit I used to be a fan of non-canon yaoi. But a few years ago, I stopped and said to myself, "What the hell? These guys are straight in the anime/video game. Why am I pairing them together? This is kind of unfair to them."
The only non-canon couple i'll admit is a guilty pleasure is KakuHida from Naruto, because I doubt even Disney dubs can hide the blatant undertones.
But anyways, a little yaoi is okay. But nowadays, it seems like nine out of ten pics or fanfiction are Sora/Kurama/Cloud/Yugi/Demyx/Naruto/whatever getting molested by or making out with Riku/Hiei/Sephiroth/Yami/Xigbar/Sasuke/whoever. Well, either that or Mary Sue of the hour making babies with any of the aforementioned boys.
So, yeah. I am sick of fandom. I am sick of being unable to find some decent fanfiction. I am sick of seeing picture after picture of boys who have girlfriends or female crushes in canon shagging other boys. I am sick of Miss Mary Sue. I am sick of people bashing awesome characters because they're female or get in the way of their favorite Twu Yaoi Buttsex Wub. I am sick of people writing characters absolutely horrible because they think it's funny/like the characterization. I am FUCKING sick of getting LAUGHED AT for being fond of Bleach and Naruto thanks to fandom. I am SICK of being ashamed to like Final Fantasy VII. I am SICK of yaoi pairings being ten times as popular as canon hetero ones.
So, in essence, this is my goodbye letter to this account. I'll make a new one, and of course leave this one up. I'll put the link to my new account up here. And maybe i'll put up some fandom stuff again someday, if it ever gets better. But for now, I'm just going to work on my original characters.
I'm sorry, guys, if you're upset, but I'm just sick of fandom and of being ashamed to be an anime fan.
I'll never give up being a fan, but I'm just leaving fandom.
I love you guys <3
