Fanfiction Has Destroyed Writing (And Everything Else)
bit moralfaggy, but fan fiction is really cringe and it is indeed destroying western fiction
@matrix then western fiction is cooked since at least the Epic of Gilgamesh (fujoshi fanfiction) or at least Divine Comedy (self-insert self-shipping fanfiction)
@tomie Calling a story about two male friends fujoshi fanfiction is pure fanfiction brainrot. There's nothing wrong with fanfics, derivative works or shipping. However there is a big problem with fanfics and that is people insisting their favorite fanfic is canon and also when writing fanfiction you don't practice character development or world building much so you don't improve your writing skills as much.
@tomie
>"male friendship" does not exist
Feminist brainrot
You're just looking at history through a modern lens.
Before homosexuality entered public consciousness people were more comfortable being around the same sex naked and friendships were more physicals, you can see remnants of this in women, female friends still occasionally kiss.
True, but just by making non-canon ships you are already choosing to not be consistent.
