How do you feel about fanon regarding your waifu? (Headcanons, theories, fanfiction, etc.)? Do you disregard it, or do you use it to sort of 'fill in the blanks' when it doesn't contradict canon?

Personally it's a mixed bag for me, on the one hand there are some fan theories and even entire fanfics that I really like. (There's one rather long one that I particularly enjoy that adapts/expands on the with more focus on Team RWBY as individual characters. The author is really good at writing for Ruby, and a lot of the stuff he wrote, like some of Ruby's interests and quirks, and more details about her family situation, I basically consider canon.) On the other hand, though, there's a lot of times where I *don't* like how others interpret her, for example the fandom at large likes to interpret her as being in a relationship with her friend Weiss, despite a complete lack of evidence for this.

For Touhou fans, fanon is very prevalent since they're very much just scavenging whatever things that Zun says and whatever details are revealed in the canon works. And it it's not that much either.

For us who have Touhou waifus, the effects of this is very pronounced. And, to be honest, I have a big problem with the biggest fanon interpretation of Marisa: her supposed serial lesbianism and polygamy. That strikes me to my core.

I completely disregard everything anyone says about Fuuka's character because 99% of the time it's either blatantly false or them projecting their desires unto her.

The 1% rare case I can see someone who doesn't try and project some weird quirk unto her is rare, but I find those conversations to be sort of fruitless.

I wish more people would see Fuuka for who she is instead of trying to change her.

I don't mind most of it, because her personality is pretty straightforward. She likes video games, wants to help her friends, and is in perpetual need of a nap. Seems like people don't stray from that very much. I mostly hate anyone who subscribes to that aromantictransbinary whatever bullshit and try to slap labels like that on her, but I think of that as an offshoot of shipping cancer. That's the bigger issue and I could rant forever about that. She's one of the most blatantly straight characters in the series, for better or worse. I prefer filling in my own blanks anyway and I stay pretty true to her character. Besides being married to me of course.

Ugh. I don't like those people either, unfortunately the RWBY fanbase is full of them.

Danganronpa is too, weirdly enough and I have theories about why. But the easiest assumption is that edgy teenagers just flock to the series, which is why it took me so long to really give it a chance.

Oh boy do I relate. Yukari is shipped to hell and back with Reimu, Yuyuko and Ran all the time.

You know, Junkofag said something similar at some point. I haven't seen a damn thing so what the hell happened? Did tumblr latch onto danganronpa?

I try to ignore Danganronpa's cancerous fandom as much as possible. That said, there are a few theories I find interesting, like Licorne from DRK being loli Junko in disguise. (Pics related)

>>64853

Unfortunately yes. It was a lot worse a few years ago though.

I'm guessing Tumblr is less crazy about Danganronpa nowadays because the last 2 games and the anime were too triggering for them (especially Ultra Despair Girls with all the rape stuff)

DR used to be pretty big on tumblr, I think it still kinda is because nowhere else seems to really talk about it.

I think the reason for that is because the first site to notice it was SA, who made a fan translation before it was localized, from my understanding. Faggots like slowbeef would talk about it with that absurd tone of "ironic weeaboo" bullshit. We all know what goons do with liking something, especially after it gets even slightly mainstream.

>>64859

I still haven't played Ultra Despair Girls. I meant to but just got too busy this month. I'll still give it a go, but it looks mediocre.

Gameplay is pretty lackluster, but I liked the characters, especially the Warriors of Hope. Fuck DR3 for ruining Monaka and turning her into a joke.

This. Touhou is hugely influenced by fanon, I've learned to cope with the worst parts of it. And to like the best ones - yes there are, if very rare.
