despicable friendliness. repulsive. 

I’m going to be pulling what might have to be a series of allnighters, so if you see me posting long past when I usually would and/or it’s more incoherent than usual, now you know why!

(I have an appointment at 10am on Thursday and my 20 days’ worth of attempting to pull my schedule backward has been resoundingly unsuccessful, so. The only way out is through, via staying up as long as I can manage, sleeping as long as I want, and repeating. If I don’t make it far enough the first day, I’ll make sure to take my ADHD meds to carry me far enough through the second day.)

tumblr user vertebraen has been feverishly spamming my submit box with gore for like an hour straight.

you know, dude, you’d be better at this if you bothered to do basic research on potential targets. read the art of war and improve your game.

yep thats the one that owes me a pizza for making me hungry

looks like he’s after homestuck trash. well, some people need more attention than others, we can’t judge

Banned him pre-emptively. Friends, y’all might want to do the same.

ngl the mild outrage over Caliborn making yaois I’m seeing on my dash feels a little strange to me considering none of it thusfar has been from people who actually write m/m that I know of. I keep my dash pretty slim though (95 blogs and I still have to go 20 pages back every day to catch up) so who knows what I’m missing.

The joke isn’t that Caliborn writes yaois, gosh! The joke is that Caliborn is a BAD WOMAN-HATING FAN, who will do anything and everything possible to cut half of the entire cast out of the picture. :|

He’s not intended to lampoon All Fans…he’s lampooning, along various axes, the specific sort of fan who feels the need to either include girl characters as shrill cardboard cutouts, if they include them at all, or solely as “impediments” when some male characters need some character development or something to overcome in getting together. (Since he’s Caliborn, he does this by killing them outright, but the dismissive, contemptuous spirit is the same.) It’s not that he’s coming up with m/m, and that’s funny, full stop, it’s that he’s bringing all his weird baggage to the table with it!

He’s picked up “the yaois” the same way he’s picked up all his nasty PUA/MRA terminology, which we get a glimpse of at the end of things. He’s engaging in fannish pursuits, but in the spirit of destroying all the girls he resents and elevating the guys he’s attracted to AT THEIR EXPENSE.

That’s what’s funny! That he’s come to this neat, creative endeavor, and entirely poisoned it with how terrible he is. Just like all the rest of his adventures! Everything he does, however familiar or cherished or relatable as a pursuit, HE’S CALIBORN, and will ruin it in his specific, terrible way, that writes himself and his issues in massive print over whatever he comes up with.

I think people’s complains about him being that kind of terrible fan is that that kind of terrible fan is still by and large female (as far as we know I guess) so it feels like a jab at them and they get enough jabs as it is (although the criticism tends to come from other not-dude fic writers…), but like… that Caliborn is doing that and basically being a total brony about it is to me a yes, of course. Of course he would. Of course that kind of misogynistic dude fan would do this if he wrote yaoi.

Nothing makes a Hippie Leonard Nimoy (circa 1968) happier than a Hobbit Cake. He has the blissed look of a Midwestern Matron who just won the Betty Crocker Bake-off.

i guess people can feel weird and bad and icky at seeing jokes about misogyny in fandom even when they are not the direct target? like, i’m not either for instance and yet this upd8 mostly makes me go “blegh *badfeels* let’s move on”.

Well sure, people can feel however they want to feel, but it’s still weird and kind of offputting to me since I’m one of the supposed targets (as both a non-dude who writes mostly m/m and a shitty artist). 

The more I think about it, the more I’m reaaaally not seeing that as a joke somehow about fangirls (or fan…whatever-I-ams) and way more about the kind of dude who adopts traditionally feminine things wholesale and shoves women out of it (prime example, bronies). To me it’s even funnier that Caliborn doesn’t realize it’s considered a feminine thing, and kind of plays into the kind of dude who’s into dudes who makes a big huge deal about how MANLY AND NOT AT ALL FEMININE, GROSS, WOMEN ARE GROSS their being into dudes is.

But, as always, your mileage may vary, your feelings are valid too, etc.

sxizzor replied to your post:imo the update was kind of. mixed. there were some…

yeah we’re definitely not supposed to agree with him, and i think the fedora was hilarious, but it’s just such a bad parody overall, and in this upd8 hussie seemed to be making fun of yaoi fangirls and deviantart kids and that’s Kind Of

yeahh i mean i think the Intent was that like, caliborn was doing something heavily associated with girl fandom without realizing and talking about how manly it is but also mixing that in with him acting like a dudebro anime fan with his fedoras and his submissive waifu and all that so A) it’s mixed up and unclear on who exactly the target here is B) it definitely does come across as making fun of yaoi fangirls and deviantart kids because the joke is ALSO that caliborn is a bad artist and C) it’s a little messed up to do a joke based on “guy who thinks he’s super manly is acting in a girly way and that’s hilarious” tbh

so like. parts of it work but the whole is kind of a mess

I thought the “guy thinks he’s super manly but is doing girly stuff due to obliviousness” joke was funny because Caliborn hates girls? Like, I would see a difference between a “masculine misogynist gets tricked into doing something he wouldn’t if he knew it was associated with women” joke and a “masculine dude gets tricked into ‘acting like a girl’” joke, and I’d think the former was funny while the latter wasn’t?

Rebloggin’ because this is my take on it, too. (I’d like to see more opinions from people who actually write dudes fucking, too.)

You and me both, friend. (Here’s a real doozy: if you’re around my age, a lot of fandom is young enough to be your kids.)
