Cybernetics-cyberspace - Infinity And Beyond

Life under quarantine: two friends have lunch together [Marche, Italy].

Thank you, Noelle Stevenson, for giving Bow two dads.

But more importantly, thank you for showing us Bow has two dads.

They weren’t just mentioned in an offhand comment; “My dads told me to always be nice to people” then never brought up again.

They weren’t shown in just one scene; after a battle, everyone’s meeting up with their families, and it shows Bow hugging two men, and we assume “Oh! Those must be Bow’s dads!”

They had a whole episode and names and unique personalities- as well as traits Bow obviously picked up on, showing they’re positive role models. They were fleshed out as much as they could’ve been for just a couple of minor characters.

They teased each other and had cute little moments that made us laugh.

They had intimate moments that seem small, but speak volumes about their love for each other.

They weren’t written as mere representation. They were written as people. Two individuals who love each other and all 13 of their adopted children.

And even though it was just one 22-minute episode, it meant a lot to me. I’m not expecting them to have a large role on the show (because they are just Bow’s parents) but I am hoping that we get more episodes with George and Lance in the future.

ALSO I LOVED THIS MOMENT BECAUSE GEORGE THOUGHT HIS TATTOO SAID “LOVE” WHICH MEANS HE GOT IT FOR LANCE BUT THEN HE FOUND OUT IT SAID “LUNCH” AND LANCE IS JUST DYING

Okay, now that I'm calmer. I could explain it better (maybe)

When I first discovered Vocaloid, I was very young, and with me being aspie, maybe I was even more naive than the average boy.

And that led me to see something that a boy or girl my age shouldn't have never see

Someone in my fandom was 10, but faked their age just to fit in.

The fandom years ago wasn't nice at all, and with we being really young, we made weird asks and we got treated harshily

I don't want to talk about the fandom anymore, but I want to give you advice for the next video/fanart/song next:

Please, use trigger warnings. "Triggered" is not a meme, you could got triggered by something that scares you. If a video uses too many flashy lights, put a disclaimer in the beginning. If a song talks about something bad, put a warning in the beginning. If a song talks about something bad but it's implied/open to interpretations, put a warning in the beginning and explain the real meaning in the beginning

Not only most of the songs were in Japanese/English (not everyone's native language) but we couldn't be able to understand if there was something dirty, we were too young.

Explain that Sh/ta e L/li doesn't mean "cute boy" and "cute girl", before young fans could look for pictures and got traumatized.

Explain that Y/ndere could be really scary and not "just a parody pf a clingy girl/boy" like I thought. Some y/ndere songs were really scary.

Explain them the risks of roleplaying online, that not everyone is a kid/teen and could have malicious intents

And tell them if they made bad experiences that it's not their fault, and be there to help them.

Not every fan is American, and European fans don't experience racism based on skin color, but on stereotypes. Some European kids would get confused if you draw your favorite vocaloid with darker skin. If they ask you about it, they didn't make it to sound racist. It's just something different between cultures

Don't bully them because of unpopular ships, but tell them if is something illegal.

Some of Rin Len fans just saw them as robots/mirror images or something like Kokoro/Kiseki. Some of the Rin Len fans were so young they didn't knew about tw//cest. Maybe they used it inappropriately without knowing the real meaning and then got exposed to something they never wanted to see(Some of us used inappropriately both English and Japanese words, like Arigatou instead of Ohayou,but we were learning, could you blame a young kid?)

And last, comparing Piko to Boku etc. was never funny at all. We were minors. And I don't think an adult would find this funny as well.

Please, if you spot something young/immature in the fandom from now on, help them. They didn't know a lot of things. Don' t discriminate a fan because "has unpopular opinions" or "too annoying" or made "stupid asks". Could be a literal kid,or somewhere in the autistic spectrum. And don't use twitter to talk about them. If they are on tumblr, reply directly to them on tumblr. Even if you have to ask: Why did you tag my drawing as a ship?I never meant that. Don't write on other social media "Uugh op wrote this as a ship it's so stupid lol" because it's rude.

I personally was never able to write fanfictions, and the most thing I did with my characters was... Holding hands??

TL,DR don't be like the fandom was almost 10 years ago. Put trigger warnings, explain the real meaning of some terms, and be more patient.
