What's Wrong With The Danganronpa Fandom

After being on the danganronpa side of tiktok a bit, I decided to make a video exploring how the fandom could be improved.
We have some major issues with it, that I think need more focus. I focus on a few points such as shipping, cosplay, minors being ignored/degraded, doxxing and people's headcanons.
I really love danganronpa, and I hope everyone can do better to see what's going wrong in our fandom. I want to try to make it a better place.

[@anessaleonard730]

Eh, the fandom really didn't used to be this bad when it was small 10 years ago. Any fandom that gets big enough becomes toxic and tends to stay that way, it's just how it is. The cosplay community on the other hand when it gets involved in a fandom, just adds to the problem half the time from what I've seen. This fandom's also gone through a couple waves of New fans a few times, which isn't a bad thing on its own, but this makes gatekeepers and young fans mix unfortunately. I know that last year the fandom seemingly exploded after a 'dry' period, so all of these newer problems have appeared as of recent. The fandom usually tends to calm down in these 'dry'( when the series hasn't made any content in a while)periods. I know it lasted about 2 years after v3 released pretty much.

Nope! So that’s actually a huge argument in the fanbase and a delicate subject as far as I can tell. But canonically, Chihiro is a boy. As you said people are fine having headcanons! But it’s unfair to insult you, especially with saying you’re transphobic, for saying the canon.

i personally really hate discourse about trans girl chihiro - I love lgbt headcanons, and totally welcome trans ones. my main issue is the fact that so many people view chihiro as "uwu cute soft girl - oh he's a boy? now he's a trans girl that must be protected!"... i hate it so much. it completely ignores the core aspect of his story; his courage and want to be a true "man", and also the whole story arc of how despite looking feminine, mondo envied his courage and for being a "real man". for either trans hc you need to erase some of his canon writing, but i think his story actually lines up much more with a trans BOY than a trans girl : - uses he/him pronouns - forced to dress as a girl because he didnt match up to society's view of masculinity - much more comfortable around male characters - respected mondo and wanted to train to be a "real man" by society's standards - wanted to gain strength so he could tell his secret to the cast (basically, coming out as trans) - all his friends who cared about him referring to him as he/him, and alter ego using masculine pronouns as well (who he programmed) Doesn't the core aspects of his story line up so much more with a trans boy who was forced to pretend to be a girl in their childhood, but found strength to accept themselves, their own definition of masculinity, and "come out" to their friends? The only person that refers to Chihiro/alter ego with she/her pronouns is hifumi... who is quite literally a delusional incel who saw alter ego as his cute little waifu.

I've been in the Danganronpa fandom for 2 years already, and the fandom provided so many amazing artists, cosplayers, heck I've gained a few friends because of our shared love and passion for the series and characters. Now that the fandom has gotten bigger, so does the toxicity and hatred for one another over a certain opinion. Plus they like revolving around ships and sexuality headcanons A LOT. (I've lost track of the DR fandom for a few months now, but I'm only staying on its good side.... For now)

This then evolved into the saimugi shipper creating a discord server and hatepage dedicated to attacking the Saiouma shipper. This has been happening for weeks and it hasn’t died down, the Saiouma shipper is constantly being attacked by members in the server even though they’ve already had to delete 2 Tiktok accounts because of all the harassment. ^ I don’t feel like going deep into what happened because it gets a bit convoluted, but thats basically the gist of what happened.

Taka is my favourite too 😭 it’s so sad rule 34 ruins EVERYTHING.

[@phiikichi]

Well I mean... I don't really see why people are getting mad at Rule 34. I mean, people are gonna draw that kind of stuff, and people are gonna look at that kind of stuff. If you don't like it, just ignore it... Although it is pretty annoying when you look up a character to tell your friends how amazing they are and the first image that pops up is nsfw-

I actually don’t want to leave this fandom I love the characters and cosplays so much. I love Danganronpa so much but i am definitely not part of the toxic side of the fandom

[@-unluckyclover-7202]

Thank you for going over this, I am a Kokichi kin and I’ve seen multiple people behave so rudely ‘just because they kin Kokichi’ that’s not an excuse And I’m so tired of people bashing black cosplayers, it sickens me that people just do that because of the color of their skin, tbh people need to just grow up

[@deltaquartz]

The Danganronpa Subreddit is probably chillest place. But Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Amino and Even Fucking KZbin is just too toxic. This is why i tryto avoid toxic arguements about ships, characters, story, the v3 ending and etc. This fandom and the Persona fandom is just disgustingly toxic.

[@LaiLaiVibes]

Agreed, the subreddit is really chill! It has fantastic memes too, high quality

SIS THANK YOU. I always get bashed and told to f*ck off because Kaito is my least favourite character, and I'm sick of being told to censor Komahina. It's. A. Ship. Pls. The fandom just wants to feel special and I just cannot. I'm subscribing to you. Have a great day.

imagine being so toxic in a fandom you send death threats to cosplayers or shippers because you don't agree with an opinion. damn, couldn't be me. also, I realized that, lately, more minors, (as in 10-11) have been joining the fandom, and adding more toxicity, so good people in the comments, keep doing what you do! this fandom CAN be toxic, but this fandom is crazy awesome!

[@saraluver1357]

The only thing that probably makes me sad is when people say it’s overrated because i think it deserves the hype it gets

[@cutebirb1297]

this fandom is literally dog water. i got doxxed/got my full name leaked on a discord for saying tenko is not canonly lesbian. i posted the situation on TikTok and someone said they are glad they unfollowed me cause of my tenko opinion. like what. ive got threatened for liking yasuhiro, hated for not liking celesgiri and got hated for saying ishimondo is not semi-canon or canon.

Thank you!

[@HibikiOtonokoji]

A lot of people in the danganronpa fandom complain about people being doxxed over disliking characters or ships, but there is an actual issue going on right now that absolutely nobody has talked about. There is a trend in this community currently with people uploading videos called “Danganronpa characters saying their names” and it will show a compilation of the characters saying their names while showing images of the characters, and while a lot of them are alright, some people are making ones that show cropped nsfw of the character saying their name. These types of videos get thousands and thousands of views, and if you look in the comments of these videos, you can see a bunch of people that are very obviously children and teens that are viewing this type of content. What’s even worse is that many of these kids end up making these videos themselves, which is then risking them to attracting unwanted attention from potential pedophiles. Another issue related to this is that there are specific channels in this fandom that are obviously grown adults that post borderline NSFW on their community tabs, and yet again, by looking at the comments you can tell that kids are looking at this. Also in the comments, these channels aren’t being told that this type of stuff is wrong and that children are viewing their posts. I saw one channel getting praised by another for posting that kind of content. I believe you should talk about this issue. I see nobody talking about it and nobody recognising it as a glaring issue in our fandom.

[@noodlethedoodle6174]

i really hate how we even have to make videos like this, it should go without saying that we can like different characters and different ships. but thank you for making this, someone needed to say this

[@strawberryshark1090]

I'm so glad you made this video because i wanted to explain to my friend that making fun of someone for what they are wearing/ what they think of is seriously not ok. I kin Kokichi and many others myself for several reasons, but at least i am not racist or doxing people just because of what they think and wear. If they're happy with what they are wearing, let them wear it. It's not bothering you! You're hurting their feelings and making them not post anymore because of what you say to them. (sorry i am ranting here, i have had a similar experience with my cosplay)

[@azuraitempo]

Yea I don't really associate myself with the fandom. I'm just here to enjoy the games

[@xiechen166]

COSPLAY ISNT CONSENT. Like I know they are amazing and look cool in cosplay guys, but for the LOVE OF GOD, It isn't consent for you guys to be acting weird in the comments.

[@Real_hh]

Imo you can ship anyone with anyone, as long as its legal. As long as you understand why it makes no sense and why its bad if its bad, you can ship it and as long as you don't doxx others for not shipping it its alright

[@yukhuun]

I miss the old fandom :(
