🔞 NSFW I Danmei | Fantasy | History
I feel sorry for everyone who can't get the new TGCF vol because of the cover, but censorship is never the answer. I could've gotten in trouble with my mother for a cover like this when younger, and live in a queerphobic country. But asking for a different cover isn't the answer.
You absolute, complete fool, how do you think anyone ever got their literature and arts degrees so far?
Of course every art and lit scholar is a proshipper. Not having a moralistic fit over art and fiction is sort of the basic requirement for studying literature and art.
Hobby oparte na zainteresowaniu modą/samochodami vintage i odtwórstwie historycznym lub inspiracjami historycznym to niby coś złego?
Nie no, tragedia się dzieje.
"If you don't like the fictional thing I like, I'm going to assume you're a stupid heterosexual woman who only cares about men" is not suggesting to anyone to broaden their horizons.
Very often it's a fandom terfling dogwhistle.
It is the dumbest question, period.
"Is it okay to ship-" The answer is always yes. It's unsettling how some people expect permission for a thought activity that happens in the fucking brain.
They're just lines on paper or a screen. Don't let your thoughts be policed over it.
I'm still thinking about this because it's literally like a philosophical thought problem. "Is it okay to ship incest if the cousin reveal came 30 years into the franchise and many shippers have had 20+ years of attachment to the ship?" 😭
@toydrill
Any comments on how the disabled person you harassed over fiction lost their job and insurance, and is now beyond help and dying because of it? Happy now? Over pixels?
anyway as someone who actually really liked ang’s art when i was into south park as a younger teen i’m literally disgusted and i hope they choke on their own obsession with drawing naked kids
Do you think any professor will accept "sorry, I don't know the basics and classics, those Greek myths are too incestous for me. Shakespeare? Juliet was a MINOR!!!"?
Kiss my degrees in the ass.
This publisher's partner is spreading fantls of licensed novels against basic common decency and the wishes of translators, obviously licensed by the competition they badmouth. They also admitted to stealing a summary from NU instead of writing their own. This is ridiculous.
Good afternoon! What a pleasant day to announce "Female General & Eldest Princess" preorders are finally open! Also, we released a blazing preview you can enjoy right now!

@TVsKyle
Was it worth it, Kyle? A real, living person's career, health, reputation, all of this over pixels? Can you tell us how many pixels is a person's health worth? A person's life?
To all those who aren't actually in any danger but still go "what will people think" because of the kiss on the cover: grow thicker skin and think carefully what's so shameful about it.
@athenatism
Go tell your teacher Shakespeare shouldn't be studied because it will influence impressionable minors to have underage relationships and see what happens.
/Every/ literature and art scholar will know depiction doesn't always equal endorsement.
Can't fucking stress this enough: a little over a decade ago I would have potentially have to hide it, too.
But I wouldn't aim my disappointment at the publisher.
You don't lick the boot of censorship. Never. In any fucking way.
This isn't even a ship dynamic. It literally tells us nothing about the characters involved or what sort of chemistry or tension they have. I won't even mention how it's a passive aggressive anti cry for attention. It's just a big, big fail.
We can't yield. Be sneaky, and if it's not possible and the risk is too big, wait it out until you can potentially buy it.
It's danmei, published by a company not subject to queerphobic censorship. What exactly were you expecting?
Hey let's rename a Japanese fashion with decades of history, the west considers it suspect because of an "icky sex book" they clearly haven't read once
@n0tMoRan
@Roshanke1
The "but we deserve pure and wholesome stories, too!" crowd could maybe realize they should also add "well written". It's not like there aren't plenty.
@_monstresse
It's both. People focus so much on the "dead" part they forget the rest, or the rest and forget the "dead" part. Idk what's so hard to grasp, especially considering I haven't seen people claiming it means solely what they say without any further nuance.
You need a thorough reeducation on mythology and classics from around the whole damned world. This is just embarrassing. You've never opened a literature or art textbook and it shows.
@doctorbaixue
I have thoughts about adults opting out of anything but YA entirely.
There's something to be said about simplified, uncomplicated storylines dominating the market and western readers assuming every story must come with a moral and serve as a relatable canvas to project on.
@mytearsricoxet
Don't you just love it when someone uses "problematic" as such a vague descriptor to keep it purposefully vague so they could pin it on whatever they don't like... While recommending actual bigots.
If I hear one more "stan unproblematic things uwu", I'll snooze.
I never do this so you can imagine how pissed off I am.
Danmei fandom, and everyone who will not tolerate this sort of behavior for that matter, it's cleaning time.
Yes, this is all over a piece of fanart that was tagged, contained warnings, and required being granted access.
@kamikazeb0y
@HeromanVII
@freakenomenon
Obviously it's not.
It's a stance... "Pro" means in favor of. Here it refers to being in favor of shipping, more specifically "in favor of freedom to ship".
Learn how language works, it's embarrassing.
You're 19. You only majored at not being a minor.
You're also a puritan Karen, but you won't get to speak to the manager of readers. There isn't one. Reading makes one a reader, not your local preacher's approval.
@sirtobiaswade
You're offending the creative process itself, not me. You didn't illustrate anything. A machine plagiarized works of others and spat out the output for you. This is no creation.
Look you can hate ships, you can have opinions, BUT NEVER you should bully and terrorize people for liking the ship. If the ship is not weird or bad, you can mind your business. You can scroll, you can block, BUT NEVER you should bully someone for liking something.
@doctorbaixue
Ah yes, "don't harass people over fiction and art", famously an ideology by privileged people. Never before has the reverse been used against marginalized groups. Sure.
The blatant history revisionism is sickening.
Liu Yao is amazing because dashixiong is at the same time op, useless, a prude, a sl*t, a sect leader, a teenage girl with a crush, a strong person who can hustle his way out of everything, and a high maintenance primadonna
There's absolutely nothing wrong with ships who are like this, but this isn't a dynamic. So good job, 🐜, once again you have misunderstood the assignment.
@ASHFLAM3
Almost as if other fanfic websites are shit specifically because they weren't created with accessibility and anti-censorship in mind, huh? Wild.
Western authors with puritan leanings, you do know that you can promote your work by showing off your craft as a writer, and not by shaming fans and putting authors down, especially non-western ones, right? Right?
I wonder why a fandom of a genre/demographic originating from a country stifled under censorship, made up mostly of adults who can fucking read and know what fiction means, isn't too fond of censorship and thought policing. Truly a mystery.
@gomanga
@akkaccel
Hopefully we'll see more side characters on the covers in the future. Such long, rich stories with an excellent cast deserve nothing less.
@stedderino
@SHEOTL
Congratulations, your reward for a nonexistent competition is a tag filled with garbage. Every fan's dream, right? After all, it's about numbers and not fanworks.
@queerbonafide
Gust w sztuce i literaturze nie równa się upodobaniom w rzeczywistości i nie ma sensu dorabiać do tego moralnej wartości. Ludzie mogą być zainteresowani horrorem z rozmaitych powodów.
Leci unfollow za boomerstwo.
@ASHFLAM3
Maybe because it keeps in mind there's no universal way to judge fiction and it's better to opt for an excellent tagging system so that everyone could curate their experience?
That's the literal opposite of anti mindset, you know.
A03 is a site made by proshippers for proshippers.
If you support censorship and harassment, don't use a site made specifically to avoid censorship and harassment, and don't litter on it. Is that a concept too complex for you to understand?
@ASHFLAM3
You've literally started the thread to say "if you're against harassment and destroying people's lives over fiction, I'm not having you read my work". Which implies there is something to read, for one. And two, what a thing to say and consider fucking normal.
This is Lux. Lux has been affected negatively by the rapid spread of thought policing rhetoric in fandom spaces. Lux comes from a country affected by censorship. Lux does not appreciate thoughts being policed.
Therefore all antis are to stop being antis right now.
@gomanga
Pssst, now that you have all danmei by MXTX and Meatbun, time to do ALL by Priest and MXS 😜 Yes, all.
And then maybe on to T97 and Da Feng Gua Guo? Feitian? Everyone you can nab?
We'll keep you on bestsellers lists, just give us more 😜

Because we all know we need one.
Feel free to expand it by listing more danmei shizunfucker characters or bullying a shizun yourself. Here goes.
@PFH_Blossom
Just a reminder to anyone seeing this: the author isn't only a great writer but also a victim of plagiarism. Support DFGG to stick it to plagiarists. You'll be getting a stunning read anyway.
@waterlilieez
Your main fandom's canon is that relationships within clans (which inevitably leads to incest or age gap master/disciple) are the norm and relationships with cats from another clan are forbidden.
The WC fandom is over 20 years old. Older than you. Don't be a hypocritical tourist.
Read Imperial Uncle. Do not look up anything about it, just trust me. It's only one volume, some 60~ chapters, and an endless pit of despair and the sweetest kind of bittersweet joy. Forfeit your heart to the main character. Taste that excellent narration. Just trust me ok.
@alexinkycorpse
So if you think of someone as your family you shouldn't be attracted to them and can't be in a relationship with them? Is this what you're implying?
@grahamIover
I've said it about a thousand times over but I'll say it again.
No anti has ever provided actual sources, they can only act bigoted (ageist, most likely) and deflect instead.
Do you think you'll learn from other teens in college? Would they be your authority?
I think a lot of people need to realize that some people against proshippers don't want darker themes to not be explored. Rather, they don't want these darker themes to be glorified.
A thread 🧵
@Dreams2teams
Yep, it's him right there in the screenshot. Why did I grab this, one might ask? That's clearly because in all cases I've seen, when a writer needs to dunk on other writers to promote their own stuff, that's only because it has nothing else going for it.
Cursed crying cat memes as shizuns, a thread.
(Might later include other danmei characters, feel free to add your own!)
1. Luo Fenghua (2ha) - look at him, so bullied <3 A-Xu put butter on him and wrapped him to show Luo Fenghua is a snack.
@grahamIover
There is no such thing as CP. In your area of study you should be aware why. But you're just 18. A teen. The fuck do you know about higher education.
@mastershearts
Every single time. I'm yet to see one provide any research to back up their points.
I did come across one who didn't know what research actually is, though. It was an experience.
@ASHFLAM3
That isn't you either?
Guess it's time to take out "writer" out of your bio. After all, you don't even understand what fiction is and what is its purpose.
@piratingsoup
I nominate Samuel Bellamy, Charles Vane and Ned Lowe to show up oddly obsessed with Izzy's submissive side.
Like Mamma mia. You wait 20 years and then 3 pull up at once.
