Lesbian Animator ATTACKED For Making Gay Content??

[@zurikamili]

Small correction is that Qmeng didn't remove their affiliation to alien stage and they scrubbed their account before this situation! They just made a website that would link you to their affiliation however their arts on the account shown are still deleted, Vivinos still no longer follows qmeng, and Qmeng's description still has no mention of Vivinos or Alien Stage. (Which is unlikely even has any relation to this situation) Also yall it’s not misogynistic to have a preference! Some of y’all have the same mindset of the person who harassed qmeng. Ivan and Till being fandom popular can easily be explained for various reasons that stems from relevancy, the kiss, the fact that Sua has been dead for over a year and round 7 with Luka who people are wondering about Ivan AND Mizi(in addition Hyuna). Saying a gay ship overshadowing a lesbian ship is just bringing more unnecessary conflict to a story that should go beyond labels and that IS beyond labels. Alien Stage is a story not just “gay” and caring more about the ships that other people like than the actual story is just baffling to me. My argument is just that the character dynamic should triumph the fact that they’re gay/lesbian, because in hindsight we’re all human. If you like a ship, show you like it! Don’t artificially bring it up because you feel bad that it’s less popular and especially don’t attack people who don’t enjoy the ship, it’s so childish. Finally for definitions sake it’s misogynistic when somebody as a man sees themselves superior to women, don’t throw that word around like it’s nothing. Mari is not misogynistic from these tweets. But on TikTok I HAVE seen misogyny against mizisua more than once but of course people decide to devolve it into “Yuri is better!” like can we please be more mature about topics like this?

@@LesbianShenYuan i get what youre saying and i used to question why its named that way but the "fujo" title and the "rotten girl" originated from the past from when gay men were being commonly talked down upon and considered as something "disgusting" and faced (still are, but lesser amount than in the past) homophobia, girls who offered and expressed their support towards them were called "rotten girls", which is where the now title "fujoshi" originated from, despite how the title sounds with now knowing the meaning of it its not anything disrespectful, BUT the way the op who made that misinfo tweet used the word was downplaying of qmengs role which is a co-director of alnst to just vivinoses girlfriend who has no involvment in the development of the story and "forced" vivinos to add mlm, really disgusting how the said person still is staying ignorant about how disrespectful they really were being

[@svnscythe]

no, "fujo" is not a derogatory term. it was initially a misogynistic term against women made by incels to make fun of them for enjoying romantic stories in media, "rotten" refers to them being unmarried and undesirable. japanese women AND queer people have long since reclaimed the term and associate with it positively. but in a western context, people still associate negativity with it and basically parrot the same talking points as the incels who once used it. the context matters here, and mari definitely meant it in the negative way.

Additionally, the reason straight women prefer BL/Yaoi is because the relationship dynamics are different and it guarantees being written by a woman or sometimes a gay male. This is important because a LOT of women hate straight porn. It is designed to cater to straight MALE fantasies. Not made for women. The entire porn industry is most run by men. It's so much stuff with the focus just being on a hyper large-breasted "pornified" female and you never see the man. Its just hovering dicks and a female getting pounded. SO many women hate that dynamic. ESPECIALLY women that are ONLY attracted to men. As a male attracted person, I am not interests in seeing a woman 99% of the screen time. The issue of straight porn being made specifically for men is a big reason why straight women gravitate to yaoi. It's NOT to "fetishization" gay men. This is usually a very ignorant perspective. It's almost always something to do with their orientation + sexually not being compatible with straight porn. This is the EXACT reason why lesbians like yaoi/BL. It may not match their orientation, but it lines up with their sexuality and relationship dynamics better. Are there "fujo-fetishists"? Yea, but NOT that many anymore. A fujo fetishizes the idea of being gay. Demands characters ONLY be gay (not bisexual) because they are attracted to the idea of being gay. Since gay people have become normalized in the western world, a lot of these types are disappearing. They like the idea of gay being taboo/"wrong", which adds to the fetish. Normalization removes this problem and these types are diminishing. NOW, the term "fujoshi" is often used to throw at ANY woman that looks at yaoi/BL, and this is just WRONG. It's just become a slur to insult women which specific sexualities/or orientation at this point. It is also misogynistic, because there isn't an equivalent slur for people who fetishize lesbians.

@@alemonyoyo69420 Ehhh thats debatable imo. vivinos is a lesbian creator originally known for her wlw content but the only time one of her works truly becomes big is because of a side mlm couple.

[@alemonyoyo69420]

@@Scalixxr I think that's a little unfair. For one, as someone who has been in the Vivinos fandom for over 4 years, Alien Stage was popular before Ivantill. It only boomed due to the incredible angst of Round 6. It feels unfair to say that an mlm is overshadowing a wlw ship because Mizisua is only alive as a pair for one round in the overall series. Sua is dead and has been dead for 2 years, and both Mizi and Sua are far less interesting characters. Whereas Ivan and Till both have distinct and loud personalities, were alive (Till has competed in the most rounds we've seen so far), and have an unrequited aspect to their relationship that makes the angst-filled fandom jump for joy. I'm not doubting that *some* people out there prefer Ivantill due to misogyny, but I think that its a minority and that it's incredibly unfair to place that upon a whole group of people when the ships are so different within the narrative of Alien Stage.

[@Solararisa]

Ivan and Till's relationship had been in the development since like, Round 2. Of course they were more popular once Round 6 and their arc was concluded once and for all. Sua was dead before people got more exposure to Mizi and Sua's relationship. I also think the word misogyny should not be thrown around so casually just because a mlm ship was more popular than a wlw one. Having more interest in one thing doesn't mean hating the other. I don't think it's fair to equate a lack of popularity with negativity always.

Adding the levels of straight up misogyny using fujo gf to degrade all of qmeng's hard work just awful especially the misogynistic origins of fujoshi as a term vs the reclaimed self-identifier and how it just misconstrues and demeans all the passion and work put into the series just is upsetting. Being someone who also subs to the patreon for the extra behind the scenes stuff and to support the series it's wild how completely distorted the actual statement by the pair over the creation took by the mari person. You don't have to dig deep to see how much love and passion and care were put into the entire series by vivinos and qmeng. It's so sad to have woken up to learn all of this. If you have to demean, degrade, and put down something/someone in order to uplift another that's just something you need to reassess. I only wish the best for qmeng and vivinos and hope they get just as much love and support tenfold of whatever this awful situation led to. It's just such a sad feeling. An extra ick just seeing it while finishing typing someone insinuating qmeng leaving vivi for a man adding the levels of biphobia as well is extra gross. People need to do better.

@@MrBackman85 A lot of BL stories have a supportive female cast, it depends. Though we're not talking about BL, we're talking about a show with both Yuri and Yaoi ships. Which one is more popular depends largely on the fandom. Some are fujoshi, others are himejoshi. Fujoshi simply tend to be more numerous so such ships often steal the show. That's all it is. In the case of Ivantill, they also have a very tragic story, more so than Mizisua since the guys never had a shot at happiness. Then came the intense scene with the kiss and well...the rest is history.

[@MrBackman85]

@@Razor3000-u3f I do get the appeal with Ivan x Til, but I'm usually explaining about the reason why some women don't like overshadowing them, in the owl house for example and Ramshackle, the female protagonist in a "Not written in a male harem" often is shadowed in the fandom by a male character just by their tragic backstory and ect. When a male character is actually interesting, he gets more love in the fandom as much as female characters are (in a not harem genre, but except Luz, she's not that popular in her own show ), but if it's a woman surrounded by male characters, she wasn't the spotlight nor she is popular so it's still frustrating. I might be referring to BL previously, but there's a lot of stories applicable to this. I do get the reasons why Ivantil is popular because Sua died first and we never get more MiziSua in a way, but I'm sorry, can people at least understand female characters get the least attention when it comes to stories written by queer people or by women alike? I know Himejoshi exists but still doesn't disprove that women in the fandom everywhere doesn't get that much attention, unless a man wrote her or she is in a harem genre for men.

[@toastysweaters5692]

@@Razor3000-u3f There is absolutely nothing wrong with liking BL, heck, I am a woman who frequently consumes BL stories. But there is a long running problem of people in fandoms (mostly woman, ironically), who take their love for BL ships too far and essentially end up acting misogynistic. This includes demonising the woman character for “getting in the way” of their ship. This also includes the problem of the fetishisation of gay men, where people will put gay men on a pedestal, portraying them as either perfect beings or objects of sexual gratification.

They’re so clearly using MiziSua purely to hate on the guys without actually caring about the couple themself. Being upset that MiziSua is being overshadowed in the fandom is 100% valid, but the unnecessary hate towards the creators is appalling. QMENG did absolutely nothing to warrant this type of hate, and the false narrative being created about her is so horribly horrendous.

mari taking something posted behind a paywall out of context and then saying she'd only send the patreon post to mizisua fans was absolutely insane bc the post said nothing that she claimed it did. i tried talking to her at some point and she literally just doubled down on the fact that she did nothing wrong and she didn't say anything bad it was like talking to a brick wall

I think the issue is that in fandom spaces MLM ships over WLW ships , and while both are good and neither should be put down , it is frustrating to see.

[@OpheliaTerat]

From what I've seen there's various reasons for why yuri fans hate yaoi fans. For female yuri fans, a lot of them see female yaoi fans as fetishizers since most yaoi content is made by women and often sexualizes gay guys, features abusive relationship dynamics treated as attractive, and the female authors normally don't have much understanding of actual gay relationships. A lot of them are also frustrated that yaoi tends to be more abundant than yuri in fandom spaces. For male yuri fans, a lot of them see yaoi fans as gross because they think yaoi is gross because they're insecure straight dudes who get grossed out at seeing two dudes kiss. A lot of it also comes from stuff girls like just being trashed on a lot more and overly criticized, like how people acted towards Twilight and other popular romance novels targeted towards girls/women and call shoujo manga/anime trash.

That's what I'm talking about. Instead of this person harassing the co-creator, why doesn't they create fan content for their favorite ship? This is how it works, I found out Alien Stage from Ivan and Till's edits. And then I went to watch the videos and discovered Mizi and Sua, and cry once again with another couple's angst. And I spent a good time liking and retweeting fan arts, talking about theories, looking for fanfics and sharing, that's how fandom works. Trying to embarrass someone's ship cuz is bl, it only makes people invest more in what they like. I've seen something similar where someone complains that there aren't enough wlw fanfics and demands more, not with a sense of humor, because that's what we do in femslash, joking about that we live on crumbs to support each other to do more fanwork, but really complaining and like... fanfic writer is not like netflix where we are clients and our series get canceled, fanfic writers do for hobby. There's no way to demand anything unless you pay a commission, then you become a client. Otherwise no, and if you want to see more wlw in our fandom, you have to start making more wlw content in the fandom, That's what I do, that's what everyone does. (And I do BG and BL too, many people don't make content for just one type of couple, even because they ship multiple couples, there's that too). Anyone who has rareship in life knows this. I think that person is just very complacent. Like many people are so comfortable watching series only in english, but they don't value GL from other places, like Thai GL is dominating the market and has subtitles! We didn't have all that and now it's back to back. I gave up on Netflix and things like that, and I went to support independent directors, there are even indie GL series in Chinese! Chinese! Everyone knows the censorship they suffer and yet there are several on KZbin. And in South Korea, GL manhwas are growing. Honestly, as a BL and GL fan, I couldn't help but notice how many sapphic creators love romance, women love romance and because it's seen as a "girly thing", It is frowned upon, so it became something that if women don't do it for themselves, who will? No one. So they started doing it and dominated the genre, it doesn't matter if the couple is bg, bl, gl, queerlove, they are there, and GL has only been growing over the years. Having a BL couple doesn't mean they will always dominate the fandom, there are many, and I mean MANY, aquilian couples in sapphic works and often they don't become popular like that. Tamem de gushi has, for example. It really is a about of whether the ship appeals to people, sometimes a secondary couple attracts more fandom, It even happens that a non-canon attracts a lot, sapphics know, 'cuz there are many popular sapphic ships that are not even canon or central to the work. This person didn't make any sense, they doesn't even know how fandom works.

im only like 4 mins in but i dont get it - do they want mizi to kiss suas dead body? 💀 also to me just bcs they werent shown kissing doesnt mean it couldnt have happened but tbh it doesnt really matter if they did? the ivan and till kiss occurred more so bcs of ivans personality. like, both sua and ivan sacrificed themselves, however i feel sua was trying to have a more passive role whilst ivan wanted the recognition he never got from till (which is diff from sua bcs her and mizi had mutual feelings) - also this is just a small detail but i saw someone mention that in round six prior to ivan approaching till till had actually stopped singing, his lips not moving at all at his lines. edit: i never saw qmeng as a fujoshi just because she drew and made content that involved mlm because that makes no sense. i love qmeng for their art and ive seen their works and claiming that she is a fujoshi because of that is just reaching. also, its really unfortunate that she has been watered down to vivinos gf. This was something they work hard on, like, if you look at vivinos community tab you can see the immense amount of art qmeng makes for all the characters too. To not only be robbed of something you worked hard on but be basically told youre someone who fetishises mlm relationships must suck. I feel like if you view things in such a shallow way you just failed to understand the characters, their emotions, motives, struggles and such. Ivan and Sua albeit both sharing feelings for someone did not have the same experience. I feel like the community tab post of Ivan literally talking about he thought they were the same only to realise that was not the case (Due to mizi actually reciprocating sua's affection) showed that difference and this was also intentional because they didnt want to just have copy and paste dynamics but just with a diff gender

So to summarize, Ivantill is also the first ever yaoi ship on Vivino's channel, and this person is acting like it's all that matters to Qmeng because of a kiss- (THIS IS ALL FROM MY MEMORY, SO TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, BUT I'VE BEEN A VIVINOS FAN FOR A WHILE)

[@kieopsttt]

I think this situation also have something to have with the whole... things about ships going in western part of ALNST fandom. People are attacked for reipairs, non-canons, even if Vivimeng said that you can ship the characters as you like, they are bisexual. I myself saw how for a long time people attacked the Twitter of the artist for drawing a rareship of lukamizi and all of this. The fact that people literally call lesbians "lesbofobic" for drawing anime pictures that don't feature lesbians is complete nonsense. A lesbian, a queer, may not even draw queer characters but that doesn't make them queer, especially if they are the CREATORS of the content. I used a translator, but I hope my meaning is clear, and I agree with most of what you say ❤

[@Kani-v8x]

Honestly from looking at this video and reading what the people were posting this is what I got from it: 1.) They dislike MLM or BL whichever you want to call it bc of their idea of what a fujoshi is And 2.) We as a community really need to sit down and have a serious conversation when it comes to liking an MLM couple in the genre of manga, manhwas, and manhua! To explain as a pansexual and as a girl who I guess you can say is a fujoshi as I read bl mangas. I think people really need to get rid of these stereotypes that surround fujoshi. Despite the fact that I don't really like the internet meaning of what a fujoshi is, I also don't like how people try to make it seem as if all fujoshi are straight women who only read it to fetishize MLM couples and don't actually care or support queerness in real life (even if they are straight it still doesn't mean you can bully them without proof of being a fetishizer). Like I understand that there are those who do fetishize gay couples and I won't deny that but to make it seem as if all fujoshi are like that is fucked on some levels. And then it's also the fact that I've noticed some very misogynistic things being said about/to women who read bl by some gay men and boys, I've seen things like DNI if AFAB or have pronouns like They/her and even towards some ppl who Identify as they/them (there are other things I seen but I’d rather not say them hear). And that's so weird to me seeing that there are also gay and straight men who read GL yet no one bats an eye, questions it, or gatekeeps certain genders away from it. This is why I think as a community we need to sit down and have a serious talk about the way people treat women who like bl versus men who like GL relationships because it's really bizarre how they accept one but don't accept the other. All in all, I get not wanting people to fetishize and/or not support queerness irl, but if you are going to be that way don't make it blatantly obvious that you just don't like women and/or are biased; because there's bad apples in all! But this is just my opinion honestly! (sorry if it seems confusing or all over the place I have a hard time articulating what I want to say and trust there's probably a lot I forgot to put, but so far these are the things that I've noticed).

Both are popular in my opinion. Its just that the Yaoi part has more tragedy in it due to it being one sided and thats an appeal to people. Tragic one sided love. It has more potential to being up for speculation on whether or not the one sided would be reciprocated after death. Don't get me wrong, i love mizi and sua but their fate is kinda predictable, whats unpredictable is Ivan and till. I NEVER SAW ROUND 7 COMING - Edit: also, how disgusting is it for people to demand something from people they dont even know? I believe Qmeng adding the drama between ivan and till made things more interesting and complicated. I heard the original plan for ivan and till was similar to Mizisua but they scrapped the idea. and if i wasn't wrong, vivinos herself was the one who said that. Vivinos and Qmeng has made a fandom they should be proud of as is, its a huge success in my opinion and those who demands it shouldve been different are just upset things arent going their way. Too bad, perhaps you should just stick to the fanfics just like the rest of us instead of whining on social media. Were upset that the original concept for ivantill was scrapped but you dont see us complaining.

The kiss was supposed to be uncomfortable and forceful, it was meant as a distraction and a way for ivans score to start dropping. They didnt judt put the kiss in cuz “omg gay men 🤭“ ITS LITERALLY FOR A REASON??? We can gave wlw and mlm guys istg

I literally thought it was good that the series isn’t just all girl love or all boy love, it’s not that common. mlm and wlw don’t cancel eachother out

Fandoms are getting out of hand, The creators don't have to do what yall want.

when i first saw their post i thought it was just about how women get overshadowed a lot in fandom spaces which i think is important to bring up, but then they started bringing vivimeng (especially qmeng) into it and turning it into some sort of yaoi vs yuri war like hello?!? i just cannot understand why they were trying to defend fictional lesbians by bringing down real life lesbians where is the logic 😭😭😭 i’m so glad i’ve seen so much support going towards vivimeng after this though, they deserve all the love in the world !!
