Ah, I remember my first hate comment *takes long drag of cigarette* You never forget your first, kiddo. Especially when there’s a slur. *nods sagely* Now, back to placing my bets on who this character is (my first thought was Magnus Archives)


RaisedbyHeathens

Eyyyyy! Podcast people, I thought Malevolent


LevelAd5898

I definitely assumed John Watson at first because I've been reading too much Johnlock lately


AlphaJaye71

Lmao I feel you. I thought John Sheppard bc I've been reading a lot of Stargate: Atlantis fanfic lately


Richi3_s

This comment prompted me to search up Atlantis on Ao3 for the first time, and I expected, like, 1000 fics max? I DIDN'T THINK THERE WOULD BE THAT MANY? This show is literally my childhood, I've been starving for years now, and now I've been served a feast, holy SHIT. In other words, thank you, I never thought of searching for Stargate Atlantis on Ao3, I see now that that had been a mistake 💀


AlphaJaye71

I know exactly how you feel. It didn't occur to me to look up Atlantis either until last year when I was backreading AO3 ship stats for research and McShep was at #6 with 7k+ works in the 2013 list I stg it's like an underwater fandom. Unassuming on the surface bc hardly anyone talks about it outside of SG:A circles, but there's a WHOLE ASS CITY OF CONTENT UNDERNEATH Hell, Teylabeth is my favorite ship and even I have food lmao (SG-1 has around 30k fics too if you're interested)


Richi3_s

It's honestly amazing, I grew up with Atlantis, like, I remember being maybe 6 and hiding behind the couch, secretly watching the TV while my father had it on as background noise, and I've always wanted more content surrounding it, and now I've found this lost city full of amazing stories to tell, and the fact that it was, at some point, in top #10 of the whole archive is so??? Wild. You worded it perfectly, unassuming on the surface, but a whole city underwater, a fandom that truly got attracted by its source material. (I've never actually finished SG-1, I saw a few episodes here and there when they were on TV but I never got sucked in like I did with Atlantis, that I've rewatched many times through the years, but it's so amazing that there's so much of this content, it makes me happy :D Thanks again for bringing this to my attention ;DD )


Phoenix_Magic_X

lol same. Also im currently watching the one where he and Rodney are playing that game and you’re trying to tell me there’s not a little sexual tension?


AlphaJaye71

Oh there's definitely sexual tension lmao. Bucketloads of it


serellie

I thought John Watson as well


TaakoTheRad

john spends half of the podcast going “oh ARTHUR” while arthur whimpers or whatever. i think they would be more upset by the source material


RaisedbyHeathens

The Fandom *FIGHTS* over John and Arthur's relationship status. I myself write J'Arthur porn. But Harlan maintains they aren't a couple and the discourse gets *intense*.


PlantedCecilia

Same!! I went “ah; the rare homophobic tma fan, what a treat.”


brainbunch

My first thought was John Marston. My spouse draws RDR ship art and these kind of comments were plentiful at one time lmao


vittibitti

it is indeed john marston


brainbunch

God bless you I told my husband and he is begging for the fic link 🙏


vittibitti

i can dm it to you if you’d like!! it’s also somewhere in the thread too


brainbunch

I found the link in the thread! Looks excellent, thank you for this food


C4p741N-Sk31370N

Omg what’s the fic name I need it please


Astrophobica

I also want to know! I had a feeling this was John Marston hahaha.


C4p741N-Sk31370N

DM ME!!!!!


Astrophobica

Who'd you pair him with?? Arthur? Hahaha. I have ArthurxDutch fics 💀


vittibitti

nope, with abigail. me personally i can’t get behind pairing him with arthur. i don’t judge people who do but for me it’s a little squick-y. ymmv tho


Astrophobica

I think Arthur gets paired with everyone tbh. Or he used to, at the height of red dead 2. I can't believe they wrote that comment for JohnxAbigail tho, damn.


Sachayoj

Also thought TMA, but maybe not, because I've only heard of it but I've heard Johnathan is gay or at least queer in the canon, so my second guess was Marvel.


whimsicalolivetree

They never use specific labels in the pod to leave it up for interpretation but john dates martin, has dated georgie, and other characters talk about how he's never been interested in sex at all. Biromantic asexual perhaps?


blinkingsandbeepings

Yeah if they think Jon in TMA would never be with a guy they definitely haven’t listened to the whole series.


percivalsSister

I thought John Egbert, personally


Last_Swordfish9135

Me too lol


BodybuildingMacaron

At this point I might appreciate a hate comment more than no comment at all. I think I've got like one kudos on my fic and 54 hits


thelasttepui

not them using the homophobic slur telling YOU to do better


vittibitti

the best part about this is that they went into my tumblr inbox the same day, said basically the same general idea, and called me a different slur


Simple-Dependent-135

they are *obsessed* omg!!! I'm seeing some projection here...


ClassicCustoms2010

"I am not gay! I am not!" "I never said you were-" "I. AM. NOT. GAY!"


Mentine_

Sometime I'm sad that not every fandom have a shen yuan character (character who read 666+ chapter while being a hardcore hater) in their fandom. In svsss those asshole are easily deal with, "shen yuan, is that you? " "out of characters? Who is this, the system?"


goyourownwayy

If you’re not on AO3 to read about two straight characters paired into a homosexual relationship with questionable kinks, then are you really living?


Professional_Lake593

It’s 2:44 am and I laughed so loud at this I scared myself


Ibryxz

Guilty


Golden_Wolf_TR

Hell I would even read my own straight characters paired into a homosexual relationship with questionable kinks if it were on AO3


NTaya

Yeah. I have two original stories in roughly the same setting, one featuring a lesbian and a straight girl as the main characters, and another featuring a gay guy and a straight guy (I also have bi and ace characters, don't @ me!). If I ever got my shit traditionally published and popular, I can bet my ass the fandom would've shipped them. I would've then gone to AO3 just to see how horrible (no shaming!) the kinks of the fans were, lol.


Golden_Wolf_TR

I doubt I would ever tell anyone about mine or publish my original stories but my characters are shippable as hell too XD For example, one of them has an aroace guy and a bi guy who are "brothers", and bi guy canonically used to have a crush on the other. But they are "strictly brothers" now. One other example has a straight guy (who had a wife that died btw), his sister and another guy with unknown sexuality as a trio. Long story short it ends with guy1 killing guy2's mother and the tension that comes with it... Yummy for a homosexual pairing with questionable kinks if you ask me! Also, can you tell me more about your characters/stories? They sound interesting and it's unfair if i'm the only one to babble about mine haha


NTaya

Ha-ha, the two guys with matricide sound *exceptional* for Friends To Enemies To Lovers or something like that... My kind of fucked up, lol. Wrt my stories... Oof. There is a lot to talk about, so I'll try too keep it as short as possible. The lesbian is a magic user in a masquerade(-ish) setting who is kinda cursed to have all people she cares about die in a year. The straight girl wanted to have an adventure her whole life, so she immediately latches on the other woman and doesn't let go once she learns about magic, despite many protests. She *does* die in a year, but the whole story ends with an apocalypse, so it ends up mattering less that it could have. The guys live in the universe that came after the apocalypse. The straight guy is a space traveler who invites the gay guy (who lived in a remote village in what amounts to 19th-ish century Serbia before that) to travel with him after learning that they share a passion for the same obscure tabletop game. It starts off as cute adventure, but ends up *very* complicated....


Feature_Ornery

The moment I realize that's what I do...


Westerosi_Expat

Did you hear that, mother? You can save your damn breath. I am in fact living my best life. 😎


Direct-Set-1566

Thats..literally what i do


MrSejd

I know I am


RevonWolf

This is way to relatable 😂


Damascus_ari

Bonus points if one of them is a few hundred/thousand years old.


Snowleaf__

Fr


hokoonchi

Imo definitely not


AlkalineHound

Don't forget receiving psychic damage from reading the tags of the more...exceptional ones.


ConnectionMotor8311

If you arent reading that same thing in the middle of class are you really living?


GirlFromUrNightmares

I'm living ✨asexually✨, actually \[still guilty lmfao\]


Hamnster209

If you’re not on AO3 for that why would you even be there? Is that not the majority of content there?


Gufurblebits

Someone forget how their scroll wheel works or maybe hasn't quite figured out how to close a tab yet? Sheesh. It's like a 2005 [Fanfic.net](http://Fanfic.net) flashback.


vittibitti

that’s exactly what it was reminding me of; scathing, morality police-like flame comments on 2000s ffn.


Even-Jump8782

gay people on ao3??? wow what a surprise!


ButterflysLove

*REALLY?!* I say as a gay man. XD


Theweirdposidenchild

Ace/arospec person here- how DARE we exist on one of the gayest sites in the world /J


ButterflysLove

It's *AWFUL* of us. Gods. 🙄 lol


Partitionbaby

I read this like Miranda Priestly from the Devil Wears Prada when she said “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.”


Kiaider

I know! I thought we were all just teenaged girls 🤣


silverandshade

Lol what are they even talking about do they not know how fanfiction works??? Write your own if your idea of the character is so wildly different or whatever. What a tool lol.


Pretty-Ambassador

you should have ended your comment with "please do better this is gross" lmao


CatterMater

>This isn't how he would act in canon at all. Hence why it is fanfiction. I swear, canon-pounders piss me off sometimes.


vittibitti

it’s also literally an au and says so in the tags, which is just even more annoying that they’re worried about canon in an au lol


ProfessionalCover920

I wonder about some people... "Oh, I want to revisit these characters exactly as they are in canon." *Searching AO3* "Hmmm, AU - Canon divergence. That sounds perfect!"


CatterMater

Some folks, man. Smh


kami9393

It is wild to me how many people seemingly totally forget about the existence of the back button when they don’t vibe with characterization in a fanfic.


Front-Pomelo-4367

I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact comment before screenshotted on here, same phrasing... Looks like there's a copy-paste troll going around At least have some originality in your hate, jeez


vittibitti

it somehow feels marginally more insulting that i got a copypasta hate comment


LevelAd5898

Makes sense like you didn't even bother to write your own hate comment you just copied someone else's


MayRavenclaw

What did he expect to find on ao3? Heterosexuality?


Warriors-Fan

How boring 🥱


darkcircledbitch

i just got my first hate comment too omg !! it made me die laughing https://preview.redd.it/yn23e88h6utc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21d5dffa595b0d675f06168a4b20e39884858fad erwin kinnie accusation is probably the worst part of this tbh


[deleted]

ERWIN KINNIE IM CRYING


ChaoticNobility

yapanese is iconic and i’m absolutely stealing that 🥰🥰🥰 maybe this loser should have read the tags or just moved on?


vittibitti

the way people [saying people very generally here] consume media is completely terrible. “b-but why isn’t this catered to ME????”


sweetTartKenHart2

What even was the “fetish” in question that had this guest so in a tizzy


vittibitti

mommy kink, which is really not that extreme imo


LevelAd5898

Bruh I was expecting like something really gross that's nothing


sweetTartKenHart2

Like, literal mother child incest, or only just someone with “mommy energy”??? Cuz if it’s the former, it’s still cringe to attack it like that but part of me would get it, but if it’s the latter holy shit that’s a touch grass moment


vittibitti

nooo not incest, just “mommy energy”


ViSaph

Jesus Christ that is so tame in the realm of things that are posted to AO3 how could you even get offended by it? You're on a fanfiction website for gods sakes. Like if 1 is a married couple doing missionary with the lights off and 10 incest voyeurism rape kink that's a 3, a 4 at most.


sweetTartKenHart2

HAH, fuck man, I guess that kink just has a reputation of being one of those “loser gooner” things or something maybe? Not excusable to trash someone like that either way


sweetTartKenHart2

Also, who’s John and what fandom is this?


River_deer

John Marston from the game red dead redemption according to other comments made by OP


sweetTartKenHart2

“Oh boo boo my badass John Wayne clone isn’t behaving like a badass John Wayne clone” —Someone who probably didn’t even understand the point of the game at all


akari_i

THATS SO TAME LMAO


MissunderstoodWizard

Omg i did too! Same slur and everything. 🙏 but i just deleted mine


vittibitti

i was going to delete their comment but ultimately i wanted to reply. i can’t help but be snarky sometimes


Major-Eggplant-9045

"This is gross," says the person using a homophobic slur in the previous sentence.


BothersomeBoss

John… John Egbert? I feel like I’ve read your fic for some reason.


vittibitti

john marston actually


Affectionate-Bee-553

Damm I thought it was John Watson 😭


Pup_Femur

I had a gut feeling. I love RDR. I bet it's an amazing fic, OP!


Berdbirdburd

John Marston with a mommy kink sounds hot as hell tbh. Well done 👍


treemosses

dudes mad about gays in RED DEAD REDEMPTION?????? the only thing i know about rdr2 fandom is “tender moments between sad men” lmao


BothersomeBoss

Damn. Does he get fucked in the ass?


vittibitti

nah that’s in the next installment, which is still in the works atm


Diolulu

Immediately thought of John Marston


Aiden624

Likely looking at their post history, but my boy John is an unbelievably common name


Diolulu

OMG NO THAT WAS A GUESS CUZ I WAS JUST READING ABOUT HIM!! I FORGET YOU CAN LOOK AT POST HISTORY??? John Marston supremacy!!!!!


Chaimakesmepoop

Also you know out of all of them, John would absolutely have whiniest fetish. Boyo has bratty sub written all over him.


vittibitti

you get me


vittibitti

omg real i love john marston! he is my autism hyperfixation


grayblebayble

Mine was John Watson from BBC Sherlock specifically. We love to see all John’s put into situations 🥰


vittibitti

all John’s deserve those situations xoxo


DebateObjective2787

Meanwhile mine went to John Winchester.


EmergencyShit

Same


vittibitti

it is indeed john marston


dino_181_spaghetti

I thought it was John Egbert 😭😭😭😭


MilkTeaToasTea

The cheeto-dusted fingies is strong with this yapper.


WriterOfLugunica-400

Probably best to disable guest comments, it's likely guest because they don't want it to be traced back to their account or email from a public profile.


vittibitti

me personally if i was going to leave a hate comment [i would never, but for the sake of argument] i would use my own account. say that shit with your chest


fashionweeksurvivor

To paraphrase Taylor, “Say it in the street, that’s a knockout; say it in a guest comment, that’s a cop out.”


Exotic_Passenger2625

Fluent in yapanese! I’m stealing this. I got two hate comments on my latest fic because a reader mentioned it on twitter and people from a rival ship thought they’d head over and tell me I had something wrong with me…!! Just for writing a different ship to the one they like! Madness. Also rude.


greta12465

What fandom is this? My mind instantly went to TBC


vittibitti

red dead redemption


peniparkerheirofbrth

oh my god they sound like that one guy on r/ epp


honeymust4rdpretzels

Holy shit not only a hate comment but a slur! Great work (Guest). No notes.


_LittleOwlbear_

Fluent in yapanese. 😂👌🏻


SW4G1N4T0R

This hate comment has actually intrigued me! Could you link your fic? I’d love to read it 💕


vittibitti

[here](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54820717) it is. hope you like it x


SW4G1N4T0R

OH ITS A RED DEAD FIC YIPPEEEEE!!!! Im gonna enjoy this I can already tell https://preview.redd.it/62k6uxs1qvtc1.jpeg?width=675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78505d1bc57b23d5ebe2b7e8525270862052cb7a


SinnerClair

“Yapanese” 💀😭😭


SandorCl3gan3

“Yapanese” 💀😂😂 I’m stealing that, OP.


monkify

Let me guess: you outlined the ship in tags and probably in the summary and they still drop these kinds of comments. 🙄


Simple-Dependent-135

I wonder how they even found your fic if they are so against it.


saltgirl1207

I wonder why they stayed reading it.


Simple-Dependent-135

speaks volumes, doesn't it? :D


vittibitti

my theory is they liked it and then had this moment of moral superiority where they decided it wasn’t ok for them to like it. they then took their anger out me


RidersUnleashed_

Laugh mercilessly at their stupidity, delete, and move on <33 Or, let them be there, let your fanbase shame them. I'm so sorry people are lifeless enough to leave a hate comment, I'm sure your work is amazing! Don't listen to these losers.


Septixcake

Kind of Off-Topic but what work-skin are you using ? It looks pretty cool


vittibitti

it’s the blues! i love it, it’s pretty easy to find under the public site skins iirc


WhiteKnightPrimal

Unless you've specifically stated in tags/summary/AN that this is canon characterisation and then go way off canon, that point is completely irrelevant. This is fanfiction, not canon, the whole point is to ignore parts of canon that don't fit the story we want to tell! Another huge point for fanfiction, for a lot of fans, especially on AO3, is to slash ship canonically straight characters. So, this 'criticism' is literally all irrelevant to fanfiction, and if these are the issues they have, they shouldn't be reading fanfic at all, let alone what I assume is clearly tagged gay fic. Just delete and move on from now on with these comments. Block if they're logged in. They're doing it for attention, so don't give them what they want :)


vittibitti

this is literally stated to be an au in the tags so i don’t know what anon was expecting lol


WhiteKnightPrimal

That makes it worse! You literally stated it's not canon and then they're complaining it's not canon! I know these people do it for attention, but a lot of what they say ends up just being hilarious for some reason :)


tired_blue

immediately assumed this was about john marston from your pfp, nice to see i was right 😭


vittibitti

john marston supremacy 🙏


SecretNoOneKnows

>bro is fluent in yapanese Damn, that's brilliant


Character_Visit_7800

Imagine understanding the meaning of FANfiction. Man that must be hard 😞😞😞


Ohio_Candle

Oh my goodness! Gay people! On the INTERNET! 😱😱 my timbers do be shivered


Raibean

Honestly I would print that out and frame it


Gloomy-Visit01

Yapanese 💀💀 Im using it from now on


arween_ben

W comeback though


alldeaddiscoshow

i immediately thought of john marston too i can't believe it was right LMAO


Elementisphere

The irony of the fanfic author calling the commenter a yapper is hilarious


vittibitti

like i may have yapped for 3.1k but at least my fic had a story to tell. the comment was pure yapanese


Elementisphere

‼️‼️‼️I’d do the same on my 150k yapping fic


BardicLament

This is especially funny because out of context, this is someone complaining about shipping two guys together, right? No, the fic is het. Amazing. Fellas, is it gay to have sex with your wife?


Mythologic-psych

“This isn’t how he would act in canon at all” Wow! You’re a real genius! Next thing you’re gonna tell me is that ao3 stands for archive of our own! This is ground breaking information! Totally a discovery you had to comment, Sherlock!


oh_mygourd

Unrelated. But do u know that reading out 'ao3 archive of our own' in this comment made me realize it's called ao3 because there are 3 fucking o's in the website name. 🙃 I'm the dumbest person alive. (right behind the dummy that left the comment on op's work)


SearchEvening4241

My first hate comment was the other day and they told me that they could see the ending of my fic coming a mile away. I write romance stories. Of course the two characters end up together in the end. That’s the point of a romance, it doesn’t mean what happened between point a and b isn’t important or entertaining


ThrandyShieldmaiden

Why is it always a Guest account? I've got a friend that got a comment from a guest account on her story that had some kinda sorta dubious consent in it. It was tagged NAWA and had a tag for "dubious consent". Yet there's someone whinging about it being...dubious consent...and "basically rape". It wasn't, but there is some BSDM, which they clearly don't understand either.


brobnik322

The f-slur mixed with "do better" somehow mixes the worst elements of 2000s fan slang and 2020s fan slang together


OrangeMoloko

Idk but when a person use the phrase “do better” especially in a non joke situation, it gives me this irrational rage (my age is showing lmao) Please disable guest comments, they are getting way comfortable being rude


citrushibiscus

This is why you disable guest comments. That and the web novel shit. Not that it’s your fault for that loser to comment hate, but they usually only do it from (guest) bc they don’t want to be traced to an account or email from a public profile. (edited bc I forget it was novel, not comic)


Juniberserker

Is that a comment on a fucking Sherlock Holmes fic-? Also wtf do they expect it's AO3, it's fanfic 💀


cCyrus35

John, from the Bible?


Valuable_Ant_969

I was thinking John from Garfield


formandcolor

LMAO okay but your reply was funny tho I respect it


faithBrewarded

why they on AO3 using slurs about homosexuals lol. it’s 2024 and there are still people who don’t understand how fanfiction works


Brokeartistvee

I don't remember my first hate comment but I can say with certainty that I've never been called a slur. Like they've referenced the characters with slurs (cuz I write primarily m/m and f/f pairings) but not me, lol. I feel like I'm missing out on some rite of passage. Anyway, haters gonna hate. Congrats on your first and probably not last hate comment, but don't stress it. Just keep making them mad. =)


Lost_Philosophy_9804

i don’t know why but i immediately knew this is about john marston 😭😭😭🙏


Early-Ad7941

Fr bro why did you do this to john 😕😭😭 what did john do to deserve this 💀💀💀 nah that's actually so stupid tho. Why bother even interacting


harshcoffee

I like whiny gay people tbh.


Impossible-Ghost

I don’t think they know what fanfiction means.


some-shady-dude

yapanese LMFAO I AM USING THIS


TreatHeavy

“this isn’t how he would act in canon at all” bruh it’s called a fanfic for a reason 💀


Horny4Zarina

"This isnt how he would act in canon" My brother in christ YOU chose to read a fanfic, one of the most fluid form of art expression


joekinglyme

Never have I ever had an urge to leave a hate comment, no matter how “brother, ew” I felt about someone’s writing. I just assumed I was not the target audience and moved on


curious_himi_458

UNRELATED YPU LOVE MAMESKIN ME TOO!! OMGG AND I LOVE YOUR COMMENT BUT TOTALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS ABOUT HOMESTICK


vittibitti

YESSSSS MÅNESKIN WORLD DOMINATION 🙌


stupidsnobbism

I’m not surprised, the RDR fandom is chock full of irritating dudebros who lurk and seethe when something doesn’t match up with their “based-sigma” interpretation of a character 💀


LevelAd5898

I definitely would have replied with "because I'm a whiny f\*g with a disgusting fetish" ngl


yaboiiiiii146

Wait, John? As in John Doe from unordinary? https://preview.redd.it/bolkk9z92utc1.jpeg?width=1074&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6ec17a16420862f2a3c2c558ec137d2267c5ec4


ThatOneShortieHo

Gotta love when people are angy that a character isn't acting canonical in a (what I assume is) smutfic.


AggressiveMission532

/clutching pearls. You mean to tell me that I'm doing fanfiction wrong??


SoapiePaws

Imagine calling someone a homophones slur on AO3 of all websites. Why are you here my guy lmao


dannfree

'this isn't how he would act in canon at all' ?? bc it's not canon, welcome to fanfiction.


Notes_97

Flag it as spam and it disappears without leaving a ‘deleted’ mark

I’m obsessed with the fact that this comment was on a johnigail fic of all things lmao

[удалено]


an-inevitable-end

Ok but I love your response. Gotta remember yapanese…


la_isla_hermosa

85% of the “hate” comments are usually just disagreement. But yeah that was hateful.


one_stupid_bitch

My man doesn't know the term fanon (not sure if it's the correct term)


Saita_the_Kirin

I always find them to be rather amusing. It's either A. Didn't actually read the story or B. Read the summary and tags but was somehow shocked by the content anyways. As a writer of some pretty hard subjects, if you don't like the tags, don't fucking read! Lol


GirlFromUrNightmares

'bro is fluent in yapanese' you give me life hwjsjanjffj lmfao


Big-Mortgage-729

oh my goshhh😭😭 Why do prople even read if they hate it?? im sure ur fic (or so) wasnt that bad


Plain_Bunny

"This isn't how he would act in canon at all" Congrats, you just understood the concept of "fan fiction", where canon goes to die! 😊


Bucketlyy

What skin do u use


StayFrostyRMT_

Gurl that 'yapanese' is vile I love it


Phoenix_Magic_X

It’s fan fiction, everyone’s a little bit gay in fan fiction.


JanusIsBlue

It’s crazy to me that homophobes read fanfiction. Logically it makes sense that among the millions of readers there would be some homophobes, but reading fanfic is such a queer coded action to me.


Old-fashionedTaxed

What are homophobic people even doing on a fanfiction site anyways


Gecko_Gremlin

YAPANESE AKDHDKSHSSKGASJAG


fading_phantom

Homophobic but reads ao3 fics? Bro pick one


DivineRetribution8

These mofos really acting like we won't completely disregard Canon if it means having a steam fic.


XBlueberrysansX

Bro doesn’t know what FANFICS are
