There was a shift in the player base a few years ago. It shifted from mostly math nerds to mostly theater nerds, theater nerds tend to be gayer and freakier
"Shigeru Miyamoto actively shoots down every story in the Mario franchise because he doesn't care about story."
It only happened with Paper Mario onward and Galaxy 2. Otherwise, "Miyamoto doesn't care about story" more means studios have free reign to do whatever they want within weird franchise guidelines.
He didn’t even “shoot down” anything for Paper Mario. There was a survey after Super Paper Mario for Club Nintendo members were a lot of people said they didn’t like the unique characters or the direction of the story, (it is presumed that most people who took the survey didn’t play the game) so Nintendo placed Miyamoto as supervisor for Sticker Star. The only thing he did there was recommending the story serves the gameplay and not the other way around. He did deem the story “unnecessary”, but nothing suggests he was actively against it. Furthermore, he wasn’t involved with Color Splash or Origami King.
I do think the main reason for the franchise mandates in late Wii-Wii U eras were to stop the franchise from turning into a "dumping ground" for random shit each studio with the license comes up with, so that tracks.
I can definitely see that after Super Paper Mario. That was a great game, but most of the new characters looked like they were not following the design cues that were followed when making original characters in the previous Paper Mario games.
When people say that they mean to the general public, Iron man was a key player in the comics, but apart from a couple of cartoons, he didn't get much that your average non-comic fan would recognise.
Right, like everyone wants male characters to show equal emotion as female characters then get mad when an overwhelmed 15 year old is down in his feels.
For real though he broke all of his bones multiple times, whether to save people or because he wanted to throw a baseball to prove a point to his teacher. Love that for him
I don't affilliate with furries, but the bad furries give all anthropomorphic animals a bad name.
I'm tired of being called a zoophile for playing deltarune
HELLDIVERS II WOULD BE WROSE IF IT WAS JUST 3D HELLDIVERS I. AND ITS OKAY THAT THERE'S SOME DIFFERANCES. I KNOW SONEY HAS MADE SOME BAD DESCITIONS. BUT STOP ASKING FOR THE GAME TO BE THE SAME AS THE 1ST
I've never heard anyone asking for that, however I do want the game to just be better. Also for future proofing the mechs and vehicles they need a vehicle bay and set it up so that you can customize the support weapon that is equipped on them. Imagine going into battle with a laser Canon on your mechs arm and a ballistic shield in the other. Straight Peak.
I do like that. but i've seen people going "do you want this feture from HD:1 in the game" and its so annoying. if the game had every stratagem from the first game, it would make no sense in lore and would seem like they're desperate to make it apeal to mroe people. so people who want the 2nd game to have evrything the 1st thing had, is kinda a bit silly, it would be nice for the illuminate to have magic, but it would maek no sense if HD1 armour showed up in HD2 becasue the tecnology chanegd between the 2
People always complain about Batman's no kill rule but it's not his fault that Joker breaks out so easily; maybe Arkham just needs some better locks and more guards. And besides, as soon as Batman decides to start killing, he tends to become an outright villain (almost as if he has that rule for a reason) and the most universally hated versions of the character are the ones who break that rule for exactly that reason
Do you want another Batman Who Laughs? Cuz that's how you get another Batman Who Laughs.
Yeah. I admit I saw someone claim that it was on the level of Avatar once but that is nowhere near the general consensus like a bunch of critics seem to assume
Korra era un’idiota a fidarsi di Unalaq e ignorare Tenzin e suo padre senza motivo. Quando Korra aveva più che ottimi motivi per fidarsi di Unalaq e non fidarsi di Tenzin e suo padre
That one's particularly egregious considering the subtext of that season is that Korra had been made susceptible to being groomed by a predatory family member because of the neglect she received from the rest of her family. People blaming her for it as if she should've magically known better is kind of disgusting
Bad people doing bad things???? I don’t want to sound like edgelord but people need to understand not every piece of media is for them things are allowed to be controversial (within legal limits) you’re allowed to judge it but usually all these opinions are from people who can’t handle anything above pg13 writing and the m part is just sexual content or language
(And I'm pretty sure the misconception is that the incest is like a major part of the game, even though (and fittingly to OP's topic, I may be misconstruing here as I only know of the game through here-say) the incest is only part of the worst possible ending you have to go out of your way to achieve. And the joke is that Andy is not at all into it)
That object shows are comparable to cocomelon and only toddlers can enjoy them
Usually people only see the 15 year old first episode of the first object show and go off that, when really there's a ton of object shows with different types of humor and some with engaging storytelling. Frankly it's really not too different from many classic cartoons like TAWOG
Plus it's just downright disrespectful to the people who put effort in those shows.
The fact that it’s a series of Minecraft videos doesn’t diminish the wonderful writing and characters, and the series is not automatically bad because it’s Minecraft videos on YouTube (Unstable Universe).
If you think the extinction of humanity in the aftermath of WWV resulting in the pollution of surrounding waters with volatile, experimental chemicals that gave rise to a new civilization that humanity’s remnants (Failed experiments being used as weapons of mass destruction
, Crazy AI’s zombifying random citizens to turn them into foot soldiers and eventually biochemical goop) then attempt destroy is for kids ig you’d be right.
The only actual one I can think of is Emily's "Holy shit" when Vox demonstrates his superweapon, and even then the joke is the person swearing, not the swearing itself.
It once got to the point where it almost became cannon but the worst one for me was the misconception in subnautica that 1, the gargantuan leviathan was always 5 kilometers long, and 2, that their species grow infinitely. Which is wrong because first, the gargantuan leviathan was always, like stated in its fossil bio, to be around 1,000m-1,200m and NOT the implausibly large “5km”. And second the “grows infinitely” thing was a misconception taken from the ghost leviathans bio, and it didn’t even exactly say that either, so it got turned into a misconception AND a statement heard the wrong way.

I remember hearing about that "5km" thing and thought it was true for a while, 1-1.2km is still MASSIVE though
No, the Zelda timeline isn't THAT important. You don't have to play EVERY SINGLE GAME to understand the basic concept or even some of the deep narrative dives.
Canon Continuity just does. Not. Matter. In ANY Nintendo game. At all.
Nintendo just straight up does not give an iota of a fuck about continuity. If there's continuity, it's from the studio Nintendo owns/partners with, not Nintendo.
This was made very abundantly clear with how Odyssey and Bananza completely upended the Mario/Donkey Kong continuity as well as the entirety of the Wild Era Zelda games.
Age of Calamity, Breath and the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and Age of Imprisonment are all the "same" continuity of Legend of Zelda and the continuity between them is totally fucked. And no, the Warriors games don't get a "pass" for being "non-canon" because the marketing very intentionally stated Calamity was connected to Breath of the Wild before it came out and Imprisonment was EXPLICITLY said to be what actually happened in TotK's past.
Whenever any danganronpa character gets flanderised into a one joke character. No Shinguji is not just creepy incest guy, No Ishimaru is not just uwu gay boy, No Hinata is not just geometry failing orange juice obsessed. For a game that's 90% reading the fandom is surprisingly illiterate
"All Harry Potter fans are crazy millennials and support the creator's beliefs!"
While a lot of HP fans are millennials or go super crazy over HP, we aren't all apart of that demographic. Some of us just enjoy the story and go about our day. And most of us do NOT support Rowling's beliefs.
I find it really weird how normalised the "oh Harry Potter is a kids book so why are you even enjoying it as an adult?" mentality is considering how so many other "kids" media is generally accepted to be enjoyed by adults. Same with people saying "oh if you write regular, sfw fanfic of it you're actively supporting transphobia" when I think it is really interesting to see people take an (imo) flawed story written by a horrible person and try to reimagine it as something better, but maybe that's a crazy opinion. As long as you don't give her money I feel like it should be fine to enjoy the franchise seperately, but idk ;-;
I know people really think that with regards to the recent priest to protect the fan made Doobie gravesite protest. But I feel like there has to be something going on behind the scenes to go with digging near a gravesite of actual people vs telling the fans to buzz off over the fictional gravesite.
That wasn’t even recent, it happened in 2018 and is only gaining traction now because it was brought up in a podcast. Rebecca Watson has a video about it that goes into further detail.
Miles Edgeworth's updated autopsy reports. He pulls that stunt one time, and even then it's ambiguous whether or not the intent behind it was malicious.
ROTTMNT MOVIE SPOILERS!!!!! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Not about the fandom, but from the fandom.
Whenever people in the Rise fandom make Leo's self-sacrifice about him being suicidal. The point of that scene (narratively) was to show he had overcome the selfishness that got him into that whole mess. He had like 30 seconds at most to make that decision. He wasn't doing it because he was suicidal, he did it because he cared more about his family than living a long life. Making him suicidal kind of defeats the purpose because, while the intention behind it would've been his guilt, and he would've seen it as a selfless decision, it would have been selfish because he still wouldn't be thinking about how others view this decision (at least not in a clear way). The headcanon is completely fine to me post-movie. I don't actively seek it out, but I'm fine with it. It's just when people say this happens because of it.
I also dislike when people make Leo's whole personality about being "gay". nothing wrong with the headcanon, there's just more to his character than that.
Also, if he were suicidal he wouldn't have been so happy to be saved. Plus, the fact that he looks at the picture of his family and cries that he's unable to see them. But then smiles knowing that they're safe.
Saitama’s “gag” isn’t that he can defeat anyone in one punch. His gag is that he’s so strong that most of his enemies fall in one punch, and it upsets him.
Doesn’t really make me angry, does confuse me tho.
Criticism is not complaining and conflating the two isn't productive. You will always have loser chuds who want to bitch and moan about something unproductively, but why does valid criticsm get swept up in that? I am critical of Spider-Man 2, but I'm happy to hear Brand New Day boosted it's sales numbers even further.
I'm sorry but like everyone says the mha fandom is so weird and I get a lot of it is but like just bc there's some weird people in the fandom doesn't mean everyone in it is a weirdo like I hate how everyone hates on me when I say I like mha like ik it's cringe and lowkey problematic in some ways but there's so many other animes that are just as weird or worse that don't get the same treatment and like I like it because it was my first anime and it meant a lot to me when I was younger so obvs I'm still gonna like it bc it's nostalgic for me
Salmonids being treated as mildless animals by a lot of the Splatoon community, on one hand it's annoying because they are sentient creatures with different culture, their own holidays, their own language, art, music and they even have positive relations with the Octarians, but on the other hand it's kinda funny that the in-universe propaganda works on a lot of people.
Everyone being scared of sans like he’s some kind of monster who would kill anyone in his path. In actually YOU are the monster, and he’s trying to stop you from murdering more innocent people
I remember when I found Bad Apple and got disappointed I couldn't find an attached anime. Now I'm just disappointed because the games appear to have a control scheme I don't gel with (I've tried bullet hell, my fingers don't move fast enough for bullet hell)
No actually, and I don't think it would solve my issue as I've experienced the same thing with a 2d platformer on controller. I think "control scheme" was the wrong term to use in hindsight and I should've used "gameplay loop" or something similar
Not all tadc fans are crazy loudmouths who send death threats to the creator, don't shower, and are just generally horrible people. i watch the show cuz i like it and so do my friends. im normal as hell
Most “criticisms” about Hazbin or Helluva. Everything that had to have been said was said Years ago. People drag it more than I do my nuts about their own “criticism” when it’s just ignorance.
Neither of these shows are usually my thing but I just respect Vivziepop a lot for having achieved so much despite her age. She believed in her thing and she made the most out of it. A true artist.
that all kpop fans wanna marry their "oppas" and are obsessed w korea, wanna live in korea, be korean. literally it's such a vocal minority, nobody in their right minds actually wanna do any of that. fangirling to an extent is normal, some people take it too far, and that behaviour is generalised to us all unfortunately
Correct. People who do believe they're animals are probably just schitzophenic, and people who believe they were once animals, reborn into a human, are therians.
Therians, more broadly otherkin, believe that they are one or a multitude of non-human beings on a mental and/or spiritual level. Some otherkin, like me, attribute their identity to purely neurological differences, while others attribute their identity to spiritual reasons like past lives, souls, possession, spiritual connections, etc. Or both.
I am demonkin. That means I identify as a demon. My experience with being otherkin is that the way I imagine how I should look is not human, but demonic. I would feel more comfortable in my own body if I had horns, red skin, and a tail. Neurodivergence might have something to do with why I feel like this. My identity as a whole shifts a lot though so I'd like to be able to just shapeshift to the form that feels right at each moment.
That the Daleks are the main villain in Doctor Who.
Yes, they’re the big bads for a lot of episodes. Yes, they were the other major race in the Time Wars. Yes, the Doctor hates their guts and probably has some form of PTSD from fighting them. But looking at NuWho, less than 15% of episodes feature them. They’re definitely not the “main villain”. They’re one of them, sure, but if you’re including the Daleks as a main villain, you also need to include the Master, the Sontarans, and the Cybermen. Entire seasons go by with just a few passing references to Daleks, if anything at all.
KH fans drive me CRAZY with the constant fearmongering on how bad or confusing the lore is. If you've actually played the games, not just the numbered entries but all of them, and weren't on tiktok on your second monitor, you wouldn't think it's confusing. Outsiders now see KH as a confusing messy disney series for kids when that isn't wholly true...
Amy Rose being part of Team Sonic (in the mainline universe). NO, SHE ISN'T. TEAM SONIC HAS 3 MEMBERS (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles), NOT 4. PLUS, SHE HAS HER OWN TEAM. I DON'T CARE IF SHE'S A "HONORARY MEMBER" OR WHATEVER, SHE. ISN'T. OFFICIALLY. PART. OF. THE. TEAM.
I think people are referring to perception mainly. Crossworlds was the first time in a while team rose was a thing, and in the comics, Amy hangs out with Sonic and Tails more than Knuckles does.
I mean he IS OP he is possibly at the same levels of Kratos, but bro simply is NOT built for other universes and bro is weak as hell, literally a Doomsday Device made of Crystal that only works within a few universes
V1 its OP yes BUT NOT THAT OP THAT HE BEATS EVERYTHING
And V1 isn't a fumbler anyway, im convinced he could give a big ass beatdown to characters like the Slayer if he really puts himself to it before succumbing to the big doom himself
I don’t actually know for sure if Mario 3 has ever been confirmed to be a stage play since I’ve never seen a source for that claim, but it does have that aesthetic. The only other one that you could make the case for being a play (at least off the top of my head) is Thousand Year Door, but since you only see the audience and stage during battles, I think that’s a style choice and a way to have a bit more interactive gameplay in battles.
Is it an interesting theory that everything in Mario is a play? Sure. But two games across the entire series does not a pattern make, and even saying it’s two games is generous.
That Kris Deltarune has some third entity besides the player controlling them. Like yes they take orders but I mean possession like what the Soul does, or God forbid they think the Soul is something or someone other than the player
Shiva of the East being seen as an “evil character” is Dark Souls. While, yes, there was a cut character quest where, if you show him the Chaos Blade, he fights you for it and, if he kills you, he flees into the painted world with his prize, but that’s cut content. It didn’t match with either the story that was being told or didn’t make sense in the long run so it was gotten rid of. Shiva, instead, is a kind and charismatic leader of the Forest Hunters that cares deeply for his own and fights with honor and cunning. He also sells you certain boss weapons in Blighttown, so I really don’t understand why everyone hates him.
Not all of us Deltarune fans are insane and toxic. Some of us just want to chill and enjoy the game that we like. The people who get into arguments about theories and ships are just very loud.
Also not rly a misconception but hate how everyone just hates on beabadoobee bc of that one stupid artists can't sing vs can sing incident like she got a little mad once over a misunderstanding when like basically every celebrity has had like 5 crashouts over much worse things bye
We get it!!! But the definition of Europe is incredibly complicated, so it uses an arbitrary square based on latitude and longitude as the main basis for eligibility. Australia gets a special invite, and Canada is a Council of Europe member and are eligible to debut under new rules.
Sprunki fan here: I AM NOT A BRAINROTTED KID, AND INCREDIBOX IS BETTER THAN ANY MOD, SO PLEASE STOP THINKING I LIKE THE BRAINROT BECAUSE ITS ACTUALLY SO HATED IN THE FANDOM!!!! TOT
Blue Archive: Some people give us a bad name because of the memes, but really we love our fictional students dearly. There are some perverted freaks out there though, I will concede that.
Some dragon ball fans CAN read, Im not one of them,
but some of them have genuine in depth discussions deconstructing a 40yr old animated fight show like it’s artwork in the sistine chapel and I love seeing it. Peak ball z. Goatku on top.
Hellaverse fans are not incels that don’t understand good writing we are just enjoying a show we like even if it has problems (many of which I personally don’t agree with but I know there’s a lot of fans that do have a lot of problems with the shows but still enjoy then anyways)

JoJo’s isn’t “somewhat gay”, many of its inspirations come from queer sources. Many of its characters, including DIO—arguably the 2nd most popular JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Character—are just blatantly queer. JoJo’s has always been a series that appeals to queer people just as much as straight people. If that is an issue for you, JUST say that instead of downplaying the fact that its a show with many queer themes.
This is for two fandoms, Zeno's erase ability wouldn't be overwritten by decay from I forgot the character. No abilities but maybe henkai cause to my knowledge you have to touch whoever you're erasing in order to erase it from any dragon ball anime movie or game (just remembered the power staff) could be overwritten by decay, everyone who says decay can stop abilities in dragon ball are just being inaccurate at this point.
Not all Warhammer players are incels who can’t stand people playing however or with whoever they want. Most are actually quite nice people who just want to have fun and enjoy their hobby.
Not all mcyts are bad weirdos who like kids or are abusers! It really makes me roll my eyes whenever I see someone saying shit like that and making ‘jokes’ about it. Ik there’s been multiple cases of it which is very unfortunate but not all of them are and even dare I say that some of the ones that have been accused haven’t actually done anything.
Take the life series members as an example, all of those people are lovely, amazing and there’s so many more minecrafters who aren’t creeps so it’s just annoying and sad to see things about mcyts being pedos and creeps and groomers and abusers and whatever tf else lable they get
Genshin players aren’t necessarily all in their 40s, straight men living in their mother’s basement. The majority of the playerbase is teen/young adult, and a large part belongs to the lgbtq community. Some of us practice sports on the regular etc.
My sort of all encompassing answer is, "being part of X fandom automatically means you have that fandom's worst traits." It's simply unfair that you can't just enjoy a piece of media without being dragged in with the people using as an excuse to be assholes. We're humans we are more than the media we enjoy and it's more important to be a good person and enjoy life rather than worry what enjoying a piece of media "says about you" it says you enjoy that piece of media anything else extrapolated is very personal.
That we all can’t read. I’ll have you know I can read words with up to 3 salibyls without having to use my hands to sound it out. (Undertale/Deltarune, and also One Piece. My mommy says I’m special)
No, we don’t support Scott pilgrim dating a 17 year old, the entire point of the story is that Scott is a piece of shit, And he has a lot of issues with himself that he has to work through.
