sexuality isn't skin colour / ethnicity. to try to police who can play characters based around what you assume to be actors' gender is so internet.

I do think a lot of this stuff is coming from a good place, you know? Like it makes sense to say "trans actors should play trans characters" or "non-binary actors should play non-binary characters" because the root of the concern is the same. But in practice they aren't 1:1 situations to the similar conversations over ethnicity and race and as we've seen multiple times it's very easy to trip up and not realize the negative effects of the thing you thought you were doing good with.
At the very least I hope in the future we can find a better way to express the desire for more LGBT+ actors to get big roles and for LGBT+ characters to be depicted accurately without harassing closeted people who were taking roles to express or experiment with a part of themselves through what should otherwise be a safe outlet. In a thread about a queer man coming out, you folks just instantly had to jump on trans women having feelings about how they are represented huh. 
Yup, that's the one I was mentioning. Like no one was fucking talking about any of that lol.

It won't be long until people will get banned asking for interoperability in mobile as platform warring. Depends on the mod on duty, some realize it isn't warring but there's already people asking bluntly for banning people about it and non ironically calling them dumb boomers

Quote:Shipping is just as bad
Former mod
Quote:The term or the actual activity because if it's the latter... Nope, it's absolutely not.
But hey, it's typical to shit on the ways in which women like to interact with their fiction. 
Quote:It's a really bad term that has a weirdly complicated history in Western anime fandom. It absolutely CAN be (and for most of it's life almost exclusively WAS) something used by sexist nerds to be weirdly possessive over their fictional crushes. But I've also seen a lot of people using it way more innocently than that. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with having a fictional crush on an anime character or having a favorite character you're passionate about. I do wish we had found better terms for those things that aren't rooted in "lol engrish" though.
Quote:Growing up having watched anime before it was more mainstream, stuff like "waifus" sort of gave anime-watchers a bad rap for perpetuating the stereotype of anime-watchers being weirdo nerds who were incredibly cringe and being obsessed with cute anime girls with big boobs or whatever, rarely did I ever see people say that they have a 'waifu' though. I think it's less of a problem now that anime is much more common though. That being said, even people used it ironically, I dislike the term because there's so much more to any media you consume than a female character being hot. It's kinda annoying and someone calling Power from chainsaw man their waifu is ... well, whatever LOL. That's just me.
Shipping though... idk if the issue there is the term or the issue is the action of character pairings, I think shipping itself is fine. Some people can take it too far though.
Quote:It was annoying at best to me for a long time until people got obsessive with it. Then it's just creepy as hell. In regards to anime characters.
The people that call japanese female wrestlers their waifus and say weird possessive shit about them has always been wrong in my eyes. Thankfully that shit gets curbstomped as soon as someone starts posting like that here.
Quote:Waifu, like shipping, is perfectly fine when it's describing an act of appreciation or of creativity. It's when they become weaponized that I have a problem.
Quote:Its sexist straight up, nobody uses husbando the same way they do waifu, and yet that is always the defensive play for the word.
Its also very possessive and a huge red flag for me, hell even people who don't like the constant sexualization and objectification culture towards us, use the word as a wink towards their horny base, ala Maximilian_dood.
Quote:My ex-boyfriend called me his waifu once. I shut him down immediately. I don't care too much when people use it for fictional characters, but as I'm japanese I felt fetishized by it.
Quote:I don’t like it. It’s one of the milder aspects of the misogyny that pervades most anime fandom and discussions, but I still don’t like it. Every other anime being harem trash definitely feeds into it, but that’s a bigger problem all on its own.

Wasn’t this last years one of the best anime seasons in a while? A lot of popular stuff were not harem trash or just moe shit. Most people just seem to go with gacha games now for their harem fill.
Also, “shipping being a women thing” is kind of incredibly sexist, doesn’t it? Even if demographics say there is lot of female weirdos in shipping stuff, I hardly see as a women exclusive thing.
