Infected Selfshipping / Yumeshipping Community - Autists who think that Draco Malfoy and Astarion are their actual husbands, plagued with predators and people spending 50k for animations

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Also it's alleged he has a wife and kids.
Imagine their reactions on Verbalase spending money on an animation for his gooner needs

Also, i have a suggestion, @SolidMario was a grown-ass guy who has a crush on Bart Simpson. This isn't just a small crush. It was an obsession including drawing him nude. Also he started shit on the farms

While I agree that this seems more like a lolcow trait rather than a specific community, this thread gives me an opportunity to talk about a personal lolcow, RicoGamerBoi. While I wouldn't call him part of the self-shipping community, his self-shipping was a part of what made him funny to me and worth following at the time.

He is an autistic (archive, if this a-log account (Archive) didn't edit the screenshot of his deleted Twitter) SMG4 fan who (relevant to the thread) ships himself with Whisk from Sunset Paradise (a side series created by the people behind SMG4).

Link/no archive, archive.today keeps failing to archive this image

This is from his Instagram (Archive), which is pretty tame when it comes to his self-shipping. His DeviantArt was more crazy when it comes to his self-shipping, but it is unfortunately deactivated now. However, one of his DeviantArt friends made a collection (Archive) of RicoGamerBoi-related DeviantArt posts; some of them support his "relationship" with Whisk. He also has a foot fetish, which is why the self-ship art is behind a spoiler.

A group of foot fetish posts he commented positively on, which the archives won't show because they are marked "For Adults".

I can't confirm this, but on his DeviantArt account, RicoGamerBoi used to make "comfort" posts which were just Whisk and Meggy (another SMG4 character) rubbing their bare feet on his OC's face, made in Garry's Mod. I remember (unfortunately) seeing them but I can't find the posts themselves.

You sure those friends aren't buddy trolls?
 
Selfshipping, yumeshipping, etc. is from what I can tell a zoomer version of waifuism favored especially by women and using more tumblr aesthetics instead of Reddit/4chan shit. I think I recall an /a/ post somewhere complaining about it so there's probably not much crossover in terms of community. So waifuism = fat millennial dude in his 30s calling a body pillow his waifu, selfshipping = fat zoomer chick in her teens saying she ships herself with Spongebob or Sonic or whatever.
Yeah, so the degrees of separation are still there and distinction is important, but I wouldn't blame outside eyes looking in for conflating them all with each other to get out of developing a headache.

Selfshipping skews younger on average, but there's definitely chicks at the very least old enough to drink (see the ETA) who'll engage in it—and, in the linked case, pitch a fit when an opportunity to feed their fantasies is rudely interrupted by the "canonical" marriage of another selfshipper to a character they co-created. (Pressure's fandom is a selfship mess. I might link more relevant highlights from that thread later.)
 
I don't see "shipping" itself as always wrong, but when it's done to an unhealthy extreme or in a delusional way, that's when there may be a serious problem going on there.

For example, it's one thing for a nerdy lonely gal to just draw a fanart of herself with some character. But it's quite another to fixate in a Tumblr-ish way with "identity politics" BS, stir up drama and "call out" any "antis", and really identify as a "partner" of said fictional character. And "Chris Chan" thinking he is "married" to Mewtwo.

As someone who actually selfships to some extent I recommend anyone who does to actually do it for fun and not treat it as a real person. Delusions like these are what the fandom is known for, I would have provided juicy infights over sharing but they either been deleted or lost to time the community is a mess, the people who runs servers for this are favortists and some of them are just plain problematic I have a few personal lolcow stories I made on the Birdie Thread about the community and I wish that things could have ended differently but nowadays I stick to my own self and just stay out occasionally I do catch strays of drama that I forget to archive or like.

But bottom line is, the community is immature and the adults are children in the way they handle things.
 
The increase in crazy and delusional "shipping" or "waifuism" could also be a symptom of how bad modern "society" can be for mental health, and also the increase in autism.
I mean I love Cell and all but you won't catch me dead harassing random people online for shipping Frieza x Cell and King Cold x Cell for no reason (Other than the fact it's technically Incest but eh.) The bottom line is emotional regulation for not just children BUT adults are wild, who the fuck thinks to sperg out over someone else sharing or shipping a canon character with another character. It's always the fangirls who end up choosing a character to be simping for but chimping out when they get paired offscreen typing this reminded me of a time when I was younger.

Everyone had a Sonic Phase, I unfortunately did, No longer apart of the fandom. I was a fan of Shadow The Hedgehog and Sonic to the point I was a Sans Fangirl (The OG One) before it was possible. Would rage against Sally and Amy Rose, and eventually just Amy as I used to adore Sally. At one point in my life I decided to go on MiiVerse where I was bullied (3DS MiiVerse) lost my shit and lost my internet. To this day I cringe thinking how I was essentially a cringe Sonic Fan and what this thread is, I have not yet came to terms with it and would feel like a retard reminding of it. So YOU are correct that children are in this spaces (Cutoff age is 11-15 would go further if the person hadn't found a partner yet,)

Before you all say, TMI or PowerLevel this is literally how it was and still is, this is shit that still haunts me and makes me cringe, the monster under the bed would NEVER compare to this cringe shit. Wish I had archives of the post trolling me so I can be made fun of but like I said Miiverse was cancelled and the replacement is a new server.
 
I think selfshipping discussion could just go in the waifuism thread since it's so dead. Could help bring the thread back to life, and maybe it could be renamed "Waifuism/Selfshipping/yumetwt". maybe that's just me though.
if this thread does get out of pg though then maybe I'll finally make that effortpost on one of my personal cows who's in this community kek

"Yumeshippers"/Selfshippers who call themselves that are usually femcels who are active on tumblr and tumblrified areas of Xitter. "Waifu culture" people are usually sweaty neckbearded moids. The demographics of these two groups are so different that I think separate threads are warranted.

Also where did the term Yumeshipper even came from. All I knew it was you know.

You sure those friends aren't buddy trolls?
I frankly thought that too, but some of them are in way too deep to be a troll (unless they are trying to be the next PreciousLeaf).
For example, the guy who made the collection, EricoTheFandomWonder, has had his DeviantArt account for 6 years now, has made 1197 posts on DeviantArt, and is still uploading stuff to this day.

If he is actually a troll, he is really good at staying in character.
I think this guy was just genuinely collecting stuff he liked related to a fellow SMG4 fan, and not a secret troll trying to make RicoGamerBoi look bad.

Why are the kids wearing pacifiers?
I really don't know why the artist did that, maybe RicoGamerBoi put that in the request because he still saw his fake kids as his babies, like a more autistic version of how parents still see their real kids as their babies.

Yeah, this is real autism, all of the people who make this kind of slop are extremely autistic.
