Riot Games decided that just banning players wasn’t good enough.
Hey you guys! So if you’ve been following me for a while you know about this project, but basically I want to get some demographic information about the tumblr fandom for an essay I’m writing. You can read some more about it here.
The survey is sixteen questions, and can be found here. It really shouldn’t take you very long at all. AND If you are kind enough to take the survey (bless your soul), drop me an ask and tell me you took it. I’ll put your url on a list and do a giveaway or something in June when I have some more time/money.
The survey will be active through May 2013. The more responses I get, the better, so I would really appreciate it if you reblog this post!
can we also talk about the overwhelming sexism in star trek? kirk is absolutely disgusting. he wants to fuck every woman he sees, and he lets them know that he wants to fuck them. every woman EVERY WOMAN he sees he objectifies. and the movie celebrates this….
1 - 2 - 3 - 4, I declare a fic war!
What: Tumblr Fic War
Who: Anyone who reblogs this post.
When: Until everyone is actualfax dead, because this is WAR suckers!
Why: FEELINGS
What: Everyone who reblogs this post is opening their ask box up to the most brutal, feelings-inducing prompts anyone who is playing can imagine. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take those prompts and DESTROY EVERYONE with them. Not just angsty stuff either, fluff can be just as bad, as many of you know!
Robot Chicken is a show that commonly throws in pop culture references. In their Star Wars episode they parody how fans can become more passionate about a created world than the creator.
This video brings two major science fiction franchises together by editing Star Trek and Star Wars clips together. However, it doesn’t really make a claim as to which is superior catering to both fandoms, instead simply asking “what if?”
Not sure what to make of this, but it is intriguing.
Women read comics. Anyone at all engaged in social media knows this. Women read comics and are a driving force behind fandom. I think I could call them the driving force behind fandom and put up a convincing argument. Just think about it: what fandoms have driven America crazy in the last decade? Could anyone dissuade me from saying that they were Harry Potter, Twilight and the Hunger Games? “Avatar” may have put butts in theater seats, but you don’t hear about it… ever. No one is immersed in the world of “Avatar” except James Cameron and people who enjoy wearing Na’vi Zentai suits. “The Avengers” was pretty darn huge and, if Tumblr is any indication, a whopping portion of the people driving that fandom online do not possess a Y chromosome. Women engage in fandom to levels that men do not. When women get behind something, their sheer numbers and passion force it into the mainstream. That’s why you can name the actor who plays that werewolf kid in “Twilight” and probably sing at least the chorus to one Justin Bieber song. What do tween boys like? I have no clue. Sports? Probably sports.

Brett White, Comic Book Resources (via wandrinparakeet) and yet men remain the most marketed demographic for just about everything. (via ohhoechno) I’m pretty sure the only men who spend more time thinking about DC than women on Tumblr are the men who actually work there. (via touchofgrey37) |
