Let’s talk again when everyone’s favorite bodice ripper series is about the fake brother of a real serial rapist.

Can I interest you in: the BILLION dollar industry that is the True Crime genre??????

How horny on main people were for the Zefron movie about Ted Bundy?

The like 15 movies about Dahmer?

Seriously like do you not know how many fandoms are outright about actual awful people or are just about awful people with the serials filed off/“their brother”? Most fandoms don’t even bother to try to defang them, they’re straight up muderders (Hannibal) and that is what the fandom likes?????

Fucking American Horror Story in general is a Yuletide perennial!

There are plenty of people who behave about AHS and Ted Bundy the way aquatics behaves about DP, and you bet I'm creeped out by them too.

Re: Diamonds

But do you wank about them for months is my question 8|a Most of the het prompts every exchange creep me the fuck out and I consider that to be way more of a glimpse into a participants mind than their fandom choices, but I don’t waste my time on them the way people go wild over aquatics.

Hannibal is fictional. That's dramatically different than someone wanting fic about The BTK killer's brother or John Wayne Gacy's nephew twice removed.

Re: Diamonds

Hannibal is based on a real life dude.

Re: Diamonds

Most fictional serial killers are, and the fiction characters are so far removed from the inspiration that trying to act like it's the same guy is unreasonable.

Hannibal fic or Psycho fic or X fic is one thing, Ed Gein or Ed Gein's brother fic is entirely another.

Re: Diamonds

Technically, he's based on a doctor who chopped up his lover. He didn't eat him, or make fancy ass meals with him, but his mannerisms and such inspired the character. So Hannibal as written is fictional. If the show were Alfredo Ballí Treviño or Alfredo Ballí Treviño's brother, then we can compare it to the current wanky Desert Peach stuff (that my god I'm so sick of hearing about).

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

The brother literally doesn’t exist tho. In these cases it is just as fictional as Hannibal.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

If fiction Hannibal was in the canon of the show Himmler's brother, then it would compare. It doesn't.

+100! Star Wars is a megafandom all about making America's various political psychodramas/traumas galaxy-sized ffs. The bad guys are all Republican presidents, Nazis, mob bosses, etc. in fancy dress.

Re: Diamonds

People think those things are creepy, too. And that’s before you get into the arguments of true crime being mostly about the fantasy of solving the mystery, putting The Bad Men behind bars... basically the Inglourious Basterds side of this argument.

Re: Diamonds

Sure but CIRT was acting like liking real life violence as a fandom is a DP only thing. “Tell me when everybody’s fav fandom is about a real murderer” like sis that ship has sailed ages ago??? Your mom’s biggest and only fandom is likely to be people exploiting actual harm to have fun/see the fun in it, aka what you get when make a fake brother that is was less problematic than the real criminal.

I haaaaaate true crime but again, I don’t think that stance is activism and will not waste my free time crusading against its stans. It’s the same with antis. If you spend as much/more time policing the shit you hate as you do with the things you like, then you’re essentially in the fandom/shipping that ship as much as the people that like it. It is in your head and taking your energy from engaging/creating content for good shit. If your idea is fun is being negatiive in that way then....okay. But that will be a big pass from me.

What's with the persistent assumption that "responding to someone reccing Nazi shit in a way they think is subtle enough to get nonnies into it" is taking up so much of our time? We're in the YT thread to talk about plenty of things having to do with YT.

Re: Diamonds

Literally no one is acting like Desert Peach is the only violent media? ??? People were quick to criticize the Chernobyl shippers, and they haven’t been PHs in every exchange since, what, August?

yes we all know the ph is the only issue here. that is why it is always said that it is tedious when you act like nazism is your actual issue. it isn’t, see: every other nazi canon getting a pass.

charité at war was recced here and on ffa about ten times - nobody left so much as an “ew” comment. zero peeps re: the person asking for the canon gay couple consisting of two real life nazis who were also against the regime. a fic is in the collection for charité and it is crickets. nazis are obvi not the issue lol

I mean, this is what I've been saying the whole time. It's not about the canon, it's about the fact that this one specific user kinks on the real-life Third Reich and as yet fails to understand that they can't trick people into sharing their kink.

Being a reoccurring PH isn’t something anyone controls and is a staple of
small fandom-dom.

No, as people have explained at length, it's Aquatics' persistent twattery re. Nazis that is the issue.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

but explain to me how that is different from “i’m looking for canon gay! happy endings please” > “c@w has nazi soldiers that fall in love and work to subvert the system in the final months of the war. they’re based off real dudes who got a happy ending” for months over meme? it’s someone pimping their canon with nazis multiple times.

so the issue only comes in if they’re an active exchange participant that ends up on the ph list a lot? i guess i’m missing how they’re jedi mind tricking people to get into dp but a fandom like c@w is fine. in seven months, if the fans are still pitching it, then it becomes an issue? __@

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, the fact aquatics makes sure everyone is constantly aware of her and her canon is a big part of the problem. How are people supposed to know they’d also hate a completely different canon they’ve never heard of? What kind of gotcha do you think that is?

Re: Diamonds

We know.
