Society hates teenage girls and everything they enjoy.

I can’t even tell you how much this screwed with me as a teen. I spent a whole decade of my life trying to prove myself to people determined to see me negatively. If you’re a teen and you’re reading this just live your life. Like what you like and if someone tells you its dumb it’s because they’re an asshole. There’s nothing wrong with you.

Do not hate homosexuals, bisexuals, asexuals, ect
But do not hate heterosexuals.

Do not hate trans*gender, agender, non-binary people
But do not hate cissexuals.

Do not hate people of color
But do not hate white people.

Do not hate women
But do not hate men.

Do not hate Christians
But do not hate atheists.

Hatred only breeds more hatred. Is it that hard to understand?

This needs more attention than it’s gotten.

This study (of New York Times articles on fan fiction) provides little evidence that the news media bias parents and administrators against the use of fanfiction in the K-12 classroom. Throughout the narrative, fanfiction is depicted as an increasingly normal (Bazelon 2007), “mainstream” youth practice (Manly 2006, 1).

(…)

Since The New York Times does not negatively frame fanfiction literacy practices, why do so many fanfiction scholars and practitioners report that negative discourses about fanfiction hinder classroom literacy initiatives? One possible explanation is that fanfiction scholars have relied too heavily on isolated examples of negative discourses, and have not considered the overall ratio of these negative discourses to positive discourses. For example, Jenkins (1992) refers to several films, television shows, and non-fiction books that negatively depict fans, but Jenkins never provides the size of his entire data set or information about positive depictions. Since Jenkins only presents eleven films in his findings, and does not provide his data collection methodologies, it is difficult to determine the implications or transferability of Jenkins’ study. A parent might view fans negatively if they were to watch all eleven of these films, but what if they were to watch eleven random films that depicted fans?

Based on inconsistencies between this study and other fanfiction research, I recommend that other fanfiction scholars attempt to reproduce these findings by analyzing the discourses of other news media outlets.

(T/N: 담 can mean either “muscle pain” or “wall”. “담 쌓다/build a wall” is an idiom for “to have nothing to do with”.)

The 5 sections of Tumblr

1. Fandoms

2. Memes

3. Aesthetic – Art

4. Society rights

5. Porn

Most blogs are dedicated to one or two of these

The elite of Tumblr may actually after years of experience, patience and great talent achieving to successfully compine 3

Rumor has it that only the greatest of the greatest at some point in their lives may taste the flavor of running a blog that touches 4 of the sections for a limited time but soon one of them will be forgotten and the blog will explore three of the sections again
