So, yes I have a Tumblr. I tend to post my art there as well as write the occasional over-the-top observation of a manga or game I am currently playing. One thing I pretty much never use it for is a forum to interact with other fans of things I like - one of my many handheld games or 90's shoujo manga from CLAMP or Naoko Takeuchi -  mainly because listening to other people's "opinions" about these shows revolves around "who should be in a relationship with who" rather than anything of... substance. That I find more than a little tedious at times.

However, they also seem to be the forum for crazy people to argue about crap that doesn't matter. I do check out some of the blogs from time to time, one of the best ones being FY Controversial Characters, where people post in characters that are frequently vilified by fandoms and people are invited to post a defense for the character.

Recently, someone posted Zoisite from Sailor Moon Crystal. Then a defense was posted. This led to one of the oddest slagging matches ever. It isn't the worst but it is the most pointless as several fans - not even that many - mumble about whether or not Zoisite was "queer-erased" - a term I would never have heard if it hadn't been for Tumblr and God knows the world was a happier place when I didn't know terms like that were being thrown around - or not.

Anyway, just look under the "zoisite" tag on the blog and you'll see most of it. In the final post, the mod rightfully said they were ending the conversation. Honestly, one of the weirdest things in a long time but undeniably tame for Tumblr. I guess I found it significant because it related to a character that I like from a franchise I have done a lot of art of.

I would tell you my opinions on the character Zoisite in SMC but... yeah. Isn't it enough to say I like him and have no problems with him? Saying that doesn't make me unfaithful to the 90's version for God's sake. It is just so... bizarre. :P

I always thought he was just another hammy alien bad guy who happened to look kind of pretty. Guess prettiness is a perk of being the Shitennou.
