J.K. Rowling has not been relevant in close to a decade, nobody fucking cares about her except for trannies that don't like that she keeps saying that only biologically born women are real women.
Move on with your petty, empty man-hating life.
>the reason Dumbledore didn't stop the Holocaust is that he was taking it up the ass from Wizard Hitler
I do find the implications somewhat disturbing, so I guess you're right.
I disagree on the gender divide issue most of all.
The primary reason 'fake geek girls' are so loathsome to the average fans is because comics and games and the like have until very recently been outcast hobbies. These were the subjects that nerds and geeks could rally around and validate ourselves; the cheerleaders and the jocks can have their pop music and football , we have Spiderman and Batman.
Now with nerd-culture in the spotlight all the normal people who bullied the nerds when we were all kids are trying to connect with us and it feels like an invasion of one of our sacred spots, they didn't want anything to do with comic books before so fuck you for trying to act like you have a right to it now.
Fanfiction is a very prideful act, to assert that your headcanon is superior to published Canon. Fans appreciate Canon for what it is, fake fans pollute and corrupt Canon with their bullshit ideas.
Anyone who wants their shit to override the real shit is only in it for recognition, they have no love for the source material it's just a vehicle for them to generate popularity points of whatever variety.
creators have their holy right to retroactively change stuff about canon and show themselves as inconsistent morons like JJ Abrams
>I-i-it's not c-c-complaining w-when I do it
Wow, male fans are truly the most pathetic.
Once it's put out there already? Yeah, authors should back off when it's published, if they wanted something to be part of the story they had every chance to put it in there. Stop falling for authors who try to score woke credit with bodies of literature that don't support it.
No, you are the most pathetic for writing that.
>create content
Let me stop you there. "Creating content" here means "inserting my horrible fetishes into someone else's work." That is 99% of the media produced by these women. Not saying the same isn't applicable to male fans, but the argument here is about females so that's where the focus ought to be.
Fan fiction is not a creative endeavor. Fan art is only barely passable, and then only for pornographic value. What you see in these communities, mostly, are adverb-slinging high schoolers who consider yaoi animes high art and who've all but excommunicated any critical or constructive figures from their personal and online spheres. It's not that they're awful artists, that's a given, it's that they truly believe they are adding value to someone else's life, and how dare you suggest otherwise.
It's the typical messianic bullshit you find in high school mindsets, which becomes even more depressing when you discover a lot of these people are in their late 20s to mid 30s.
It's not. No, really, that's not what complaining means. To complain is to seek redress. I complain because I want something fixed.
I don't give a shit about Harry Potter, I just think it's funny that Dumbledore was addicted to Wizard Hitler's cock, and that so much was done to make that canon.
I mean it doesn't represent any outside trends aside from the universal appeal of boning. That'd be like attempting to determine racial acceptance from the amount of people that engage with BBC porn or fat acceptance from the amount of people who read NTR/rape manga. People like what they're into, but outside of that it's a poor indicator of anything more substantive. I'm not even sure what you're getting at here.
I feel like that's a sad oversimplification. People are protective of what they like regardless of the social dynamics at play. The jock/nerd thing isn't even always relevant. My valedictorian was also the head QB and a member of our chess club. Some places just don't have that wonky ass stratification. As for headcanon, that's always been a thing too. Look back at the 'zines of the 80's. Even there people were pulling the same stuff they are now. It's just old guard/newcomer friction.
