Yoooo I can do that too!
Yoooo I can do that too!
Spite, rage, and writing lesbian hurt/comfort stories.
You draw them so soft and adorable, love it.
Ah, I haven't heard about anything to do with the cast. Daikaiju is the only one I remember being in it.
I will forever miss those adorable cheek patches./silly
1. This is despicably evil.
2. This needs to be fought at every level. There is no world in which this cannot be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
3. Those behind this effort need to be exposed and never know a moments peace.
Now more than ever, you don't have to be cutting and pasting batshit posts that you have seen over on That Other Site and also, for fuck's sake, get off That Other Site, again, now more than ever
Not a fan?

Just gotta give it a couple read throughs for proofreading and editing.

So turns out the whole "sitting in a coffee shop with your laptop" thing DOES help your creative drive. (chapter seven tonight)
I just wish someone important would address this instead of it only being us screaming into the void. I get wanting to focus on the positive side of the fandom, and maybe not wanting to risk making it an even bigger mess, but ignoring targeted harassment does nothing.
The thing now is that all of this was blamed on Ragatha/Ragapom fans, and twitter nazis took that as carte blanche to hurl slurs and death threats at people. It's been a problem for awhile, hell I got a death threat from a funbun shipper a couple weeks ago, but this whole incident made it way worse.
Being a Ragatha/Ragapom fan sucks because you get told you're "making shit up" and "fighting ghosts" when trying to talk about misogyny in the fandom, only to get blamed for an incident that didn't even happen and subjected to MORE misogynistic and homophobic harassment.
Which Goose herself said didn't happen.
A couple people on Twitter screeched like idiots it about while other's expressed more level headed disappointment about Ragatha not being considered as important as Jax despite early episodes framing her as such. It got blown out of proportion with people thinking Goose got harassed and dogpiled
Yes! TP is my favorite Zelda game, and Midna is my favorite character.

It's been a wild couple days for the fandom, so here's a picture of my pupper Midna cuddling my noir Ragatha. #tadc
I think it's given a lot of modern and online audiences a warped view of how they're meant to consume media, believing that those, again tertiary, aspects are the important parts of a story, and forgetting that it's the themes and characters that you are most often meant to engage with.
Looking back on so much media analysis content on youtube from the last 15 years, stuff like Game Theory and the brony analysis community, so much of it was focused on tertiary aspects of a story such as lore, world-building, continuity and theory crafting.
Do whatever you feel you need to protect your mental health and peace. I am so sorry you've had to deal with all of this.
While I wouldnโt say it's surprising, it is baffling that a show about empathy and community has one of the most aggressively toxic fandoms the internet has had in years.
The fact that this show has resonated with so many people in so many different ways is itself an achievement that shows the series IS good and you should be proud of that.
(again if this makes you uncomfortable, I am so sorry. Just say the word and I'll delete it immediately.)
At the end of the day this is your show, and the most important thing is that you yourself are satisfied with it. Mine and other's opinions and critiques should only matter however much you want them to matter.
I'm not "hurt" by you making the show the way you want or being frustrated with the cacophony of noises always screaming at you. This show blew up massively and you've been pretty upfront that you were not prepared for that. I couldn't imagine being in your position myself.
As a Ragatha fan myself, do I have some issues with how her arc has been handled so far? Sure, but I don't hold that against you or think lesser of you as a writer or a person. It's just a cartoon. Plus it's not like I and many other's opinions are set in stone with two episodes left.
And I know it's a lot easier to get stressed out and fixated on people being disappointed with certain aspects of your work and how things are executed. But the thing to remember is that often times the critique that comes with those feelings are from people who do enjoy your work overall.
