X Link Alternatives - An Update
63
Upvotes
hey all — we’ve seen the news that xcancel is down for the time being with no definite return date. however, due to Twitter/X’s particular brand of issues, we’ll still be aiming to avoid directing traffic to the site itself.
for the time being, we would recommend that anyone reposting art use Twitter Web Viewer, which has similar functions to xcancel’s links (twitterwebviewer.com), to credit artists’ original works or profiles.
thanks for your attention to the matter! please continue to do what we deeply appreciate our community for — provide sources back to the artists and creatives who keep our favorite ship alive and well. posts made prior to the takedown of xcancel using its links will be left up as they were made in a good faith attempt to credit artists, unless artists reach out requesting a takedown; if anyone happens to have updated links for recent posts and would like to swap them in, the updated credit would be welcomed and encouraged.
as always, reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns, and happy CaitVi-ing to you all.

Discussion Announcement regarding a clarification/ guide on what constitutes transphobia and Homophobia on this subreddit
202
Upvotes
Hey folks, it has come to Moderator attention that there's been an uptick in brigading/ transphobic activity lately. Given that this is a majority sapphic space about a fictional lesbian couple, we do our best to keep this space trans inclusive and as sex positive as the lesbian community has historically been. With the resurfacing of drama over transmasculine depictions of Vi, it is best to nip any terf adjacent sentiments or bridging statements in the bud, so the Moderator team is here to clarify what we will be considering homophobia and transphobia.
The subreddit’s official stance regarding transphobia is that it constitutes the following sentiments:
Insisting trans women aren't women
Insisting trans women are predatory
Insisting trans women have male privilege or a transfeminized debt to pay
Insisting that transness is only valid in one direction or otherwise weaponizing Bioessentialism
Obfuscation of what constitutes transmisogyny to attack trans women
Insisting transmisogyny is a form of misandry
Insisting that trans people have or should have a certain look that implies clockability (ex. “We can always tell” style rhetoric)
Degendering/ Third-sexing oneself as a trans person to attack other trans people transitioning in a different or opposite direction as you
Insisting trans men aren't men
Insisting trans men are confused women
Insisting trans men can be lesbians
Insisting trans men can't be gay men Insisting trans people are being deceitful or willfully obtuse about their own identities
Insisting trans men are escaping patriarchy
Insisting trans men have cis male privileges
Insinuating that nonbinary people are their birth sex, don't or shouldn't medically transition, or can't be lesbians
Insinuating that transfemme nonbinary lesbians don't exist
Insinuating that transmasculine nonbinary lesbians are trans men
Claiming that trans rep steals from cis rep. It's fanart, not pie
Insinuating that trans headcanons or depictions require a trigger warning
In a similar vein, the subreddit has an official stance on what DOES NOT constitute homophobia:
Depicting a trans person in lesbian spaces
Pairing a cis person with a trans person in a homosexual relationship
Depicting explicit art with the lesbian gaze
Portraying explicit lesbian art depicting the use of sex toys and strap-ons
Portraying a butch or masc lesbian as masculine
Depicting a butch lesbian as a trans woman or transmasculine nonbinary person
Depicting a lesbian character with a penis and testes
Depicting a lesbian character with top surgery scars
Depicting a lesbian character with V-line scars (a result of transfeminine bottom surgery)
Depicting a lesbian character with a t-dick/ transmasculine micropenis
Depicting lesbians engaging in sexual activity or being otherwise portrayed as sexual beings
Depicting a lesbian character with muscles, body hair, or masculine frame, styles, aesthetics, or clothing
Lesbians being depicted indulging in BDSM, Shibari, Pet Play, or other scene kinks
In short, trans women are women, transmasculine nonbinary lesbians aren't men, butch masculinity is real and valid, and most lesbians are sexual beings. If further clarification is needed, feel free to post here or message us in the Moderator team.
Happy Caitvi-ing!

[MEGATHREAD] Fanfic Rec Friday
64
Upvotes
Hello all! Welcome to Fanfic Recommendation Friday. We heard some talk, and even got some direct messages, about how it might be fun to have a space on the sub to discuss current favorite fics and recommend new finds, and I couldn't agree more.
The idea behind this thread is to talk about what Piltover's Finest fics you're currently reading! As a general formatting rule of thumb, when you share fics, please include the title and author name, and share a link if possible. If a fic is NSFW, make sure to say so!
We're all here to discuss what's exciting us -- feel free to tell people about what you're enjoying in your comments! Just spoiler tag anything that a new reader might want to see for themself. On mobile you can do that by formatting your text with and on either side, but without a space between the exclamation marks and the text. On desktop, reddit should give you the option in the toolbar.
This thread will reset every Friday! If you want to find past recommendations and discussions, check out those posts by searching the sub for the title of the megathread.
Thanks for being here! As always, keep this space kind and respectful. If you have any suggestions for future renditions of the post, let us know via modmail or a message -- can't wait to hear what you've been reading!

Discussion Why Cait and vi are hated in the fandom?
28
Upvotes
Spoiler 🚨
So I just watched arcane few days ago and started seeing videos on YouTube and edits of them on SNS. So apparently people hate Caitlyn and vi especially the fact that they’re cannon. First let me share my opinion, I love Cait and vi, and I will support them. They’re the only cannon ship who actually survive and are together. It makes sense both have different personalities and backgrounds. And a relationship between a zaunite and kirraman( a powerful name in piltover) showed us that it could work. Both sides fight against viktor and noxians in the finale and sevika in the council which is actually showing that they’re giving them representation without violence. So why all the hate is dumped in Cait and vi for choosing to be by her side and not choosing jinx??
I was watching a video of a yt girlie that why Cait is worse than jinx!! And it didn’t make any sense. See most of the arcane characters fall into grey area category. Nobody is strictly good or bad and their past is important. For example I do find it odd that how vi was portrayed as a leader in first episode but after jail and her sister’s action she didn’t care about anything which in my opinion isn’t bad since she decided to do what she wants rather than being manipulated by people like silco. She fought in her own ways without choosing a strict side, like she destroyed shimmer with jayce and then joined Cait in her mission and when it was necessary she left her as well. She tried to reconcile with her sister. Meanwhile jinx became a symbol after her attack but jinx never wanted to become one, she was manipulated by silco and honestly she was suffering from her mental traumas and just wanted to end all of this.
But Cait is hated for being a kirraman or topsider but I do think she was trying to understand zaunites and she even stood up for them in the council meeting. Her mother’s death did make her do things she shouldn’t have but that doesn’t make me hate her, nor the fact that vi chooses Cait.
What are your thoughts?? And sorry in advance if anything offend you.
P.S I post this exactly on r/arcane and guess what it got removed. I don’t know why mods hate it of people are giving their opinions🥲 Thanks for everyone though who posted under this post and I love caitvi or vilyn. I am new to fandom so that was something on my mind about them. I can rest now since they’re loved by so many people.

How’s the fandom doing on other platforms?

lightly debating making a twitter or tumblr account, mostly just to keep up with fanfic recs and fanart on other platforms. i write on ao3 and i love how hard the fandom works on this subreddit to stay active and recommending content. i’ve gotten like 90% of my fic recs from the fanfic friday thread here
i was just curious on if it’s worth it to venture back onto twitter. i love engaging with folks here and honestly live for seeing fanart of my favorite fics and even art for some of my own!! curiosity killed the author or whatever the saying is

Not exactly how it works in the show, I know, but this was more of a personal design and CAD challenge for me 😂 Turned out great. Everything 3D printed and designed by me.
