How much more of this shit before we can declare the SU fandom worse than bronies?

We can already do that.

Bronies didn't shitpost and trollshield to the point where a thread on their fandom reached 50+ pages in less than two weeks of trying to get the topic locked. That alone would make them worse than bronies even if they didn't do all this shit.

I'll never understand how so many Tumblr users became obsessed with identity politics.

I think I can shed some light on this. Basically, the site Livejournal had a whole group of the original snowflakes that formed the basis of what Tumblr is now. The site has lost traffic over the years, only serving as small fandom circles (example being a locked group where doujinshi are shared) nowadays. So, those users migrated to Tumblr sometime mid-2012 to late 2012 and went largely unnoticed until, I want to say, mid-early 2013? The trend wasn't to be genderspecial then, though, it was to just be trans. The whole "neogender" shit didn't come in until later, but during that time you were effectively 'in' if you were either FTM, MTF, nonbinary, or genderfluid. The standards for being trans were also more strict, so to say, because the minimum was social dysphoria (which isn't a good standard at all - someone could think they're feeling dysphoria over being thought of as a woman, when in reality they dislike the gender role associated with women).
The enters the line of thought that you could simply choose to be trans. The logic being behind this that if you have a desire to step out of your gender role, then that must make you trans! Of course, this is retarded. A number of people don't want to strictly adhere to gender roles exist, because these gender roles are outdated and don't fit in with our current society's opportunities.
What follows this are the 'radicals' who are disdainful of anyone not trans - because according to them, all you had to do was choose to be. Rejection from these circles and a desire to fit in spurs young people to adopt the same ideology so that they can be a part of the trend. Once a large enough amount of users share these beliefs, it starts to become a standard. So now anyone who doesn't believe that the male whiteys are the devil are considered to be transphobic, racist, and sexist.
Of course, this is just the basis. In today's society, and on the site itself, the idolization of people who have gone through hardships affects just how easily they buy into it. They want to be oppressed, they want to go through trauma, and they want to garner sympathy and attention from others for going through those things. They've also grown up under the belief that everyone is special, and everyone deserves an award! They grow up thinking they're special, and when they find others who are more special than them, a subconscious desire to be on the same level or beyond is birthed.

This is getting too long, so I'll stop.

I don't think I've ever seen a fandom more spergy than Steven Universe. Even Sonic fans don't have this kind of autism. Can't these SU fans make fucked up porn and ridiculous ocs like any other loser fans?

EDIT: lmao there they go again

These kind of posts are always funny to me, because SU fans are soooo excited about agender characters but still want them to be lesbians, so a majority of them are in some limbo where depending on what point they want to make, they disregard one of those.
I've heard that their justification for it is based on pronouns, though, which just makes it even more laughable. For a group of people that don't want pronouns=gender, they sure do love reinforcing that.

Saw this on a post about new designs for those Period Panties.

Would somebody please inform me how one menstruates without a vagina?

I'm pretty sure the wording was for two reasons - the first being that trans men don't like to be reminded they have vaginas, and the second being post-op trans women would feel alienated, because they don't have periods even though they have vaginas. You'd think that a slight rewording wouldn't affect dysphoria, but it does, simply because of associations.

i'm willing to bet that a lot of the shit SU's fandom pulls never happens if their modus operandi isn't tumblr, because it sure seems like a lot of the bullshit they pull is only the sort of thing tumblr users could be dumb enough to propose and actually go through with

I think their whacked-out belief systems are incredibly fragile, and that's why they lash out angrily at anything that, if considered, would show their beliefs to be an utter crock of shit.

I wonder if that's the same SJW megatron person that is kin with Megatron and went off on a friend of mine about her making fun of dumpcakes, because making fun of dumpcakes is ableist against people who can't bake otherwise or something.

Yeah, Livejournal was kind of the proto-Tumblr, if you will. A while back I would frequent some furry drama and DA drama communities on LJ and while some of the drama was pretty hilarious, so many of the posters were SJWs before Tumblr was popular. It was where I first heard terms like "rape culture", "trigger warnings", "privilege", and "internalized-blank" used (unironically, if I might add).

They were also just as vicious and would often dogpile on anyone who disagreed with the overall political tone of the group. Any opinions to the contrary were met with accusations of bigotry, no matter who you were (if you were trans- you had internalized transphobia, if you were a woman- you had internalized misogyny, etc.).
They also has stupid double standards, as well. On one particular furry drama community someone mentioned how it was interesting that a well-liked artist among their community would draw commissioned rape porn despite acting very sensitive about rape jokes. The people who would flip out over rape jokes were suddenly bending over backwards to defend this artist. One person even stated that rape jokes were bad because "they trivialized rape and promoted a rape culture", but commissioned rape porn wasn't bad because "it was a safe sexual outlet for someone's deviant fetishes that they wouldn't get otherwise."

Long story short, while this is just my experiences in these particular communities, I am not surprised to hear about Livejournal being the first breeding ground for these people.

I think someone did, and that's why he deleted it. They already got enough shit for saying "their pronouns don't matter" in regards to a character. Reminder that this is a cartoon for children.

"pure unbridled joy and love blossom in my heart with every episode, restoring my faith in fictional media and the world" yes because an episode where Steven turns his fingers into tiny cats and then he starts freaking out and literally grows like a million cat-ulcers before being violently sprayed with water is something worthy of "unbridled joy and love"

It's a good show, I enjoy it, but, like

We seriously need SU fandom thread back.

There's a reason ED started basically to cover LiveJournal drama.

I'd buy the Monty Python one, but because I'm a dork not because I plan on menstruating. It would have to be in a thong though because those boyshorts are ugly as fuck.

I quite like the "REDRUM" panties but I don't think I would actually buy them.

I'm pretty sure the wording was for two reasons - the first being that trans men don't like to be reminded they have vaginas, and the second being post-op trans women would feel alienated, because they don't have periods even though they have vaginas. You'd think that a slight rewording wouldn't affect dysphoria, but it does, simply because of associations.

I think transmen that don't like to be reminded that they have vaginas wouldn't be wearing underwear that uses colorful, splashy artwork with menstruation puns in the first place.

But, you know, that's just me thinking with my brain instead of leaping to find a reason to be offended because MUH GENDER POLITICS.

Honestly, I think it started earlier than that, because I started noticing this stuff around 2011. 2012 was the year that otherkin were trying to lasso onto the transgender rights wagon, and that backfired spectacularly, so now you have them clinging to mental illness activism.

Oh, yeah, I heard about this. To give context, they had an episode where the characters go to a motel called the Keystone Motel, and, long story short, the trip goes badly. As it turns out, there's a real life hotel with that name in Florida, and after the episode aired, travel site review pages for the real motel were spammed with negative reviews from SU fans who thought they were being hilarious by referencing the episode. They didn't realize, or, more likely, just didn't care, that leaving bad reviews on travel sites actually impacts their fucking business. So, once again, the writers had to go online and tell the fans to stop their shit. I'm really starting to feel bad for these guys. Their job is writing cartoons, but they also have to constantly be an online nanny for a bunch of whiny teenagers. I doubt even the My Little Pony crew has to put up with shit like this.

The MLP crew actually makes a habit of telling off people, like for example the one person who called a writer "transmisogynistic."

This is also the fifth or sixth time. It's getting so numerous that someone made a compilation.

Either the old thread needs to be unlocked or a new one created. Because fuck, I never think that they can top themselves but then they do.

If I was even slightly interested in this show before, any of that interest would now be completely and utterly gone, just seeing this kind of shitty behavior from one of the show's writers. Especially because I highly doubt that every single person asking for a "male gem" wants a "super masculine self-insert super powered hero character". These tweets just plain reek of SJW.

There was a tumblr post on this. Yeah...not a good idea to alienate part of a fan base.

If we're being fair, Steven Universe is heavily influenced by magical girl anime, and the main character of the show is a male gem. His name is in the title and everything. It'd be like asking why there aren't more male Sailor Scouts.

That second tweet is pretty goddamned wanky, though, I will give you that.

Yeah, some of them want bishies to fap to, too.
