Annoying Fandom Shit - Tumblr Posts
I’m starting to realize that is very hard to write Kyle in character because so many people have conflicting opinions on him.
If you write Kyle as being smart and compassionate, people will complain that he's too perfect, if you write Kyle as an one note, brainless bully, people will complain about him being too cruel, however, if you decide to write Kyle as being both, people will also complain that he’s being inconsistently written compared to the rest of the boys.
There’s no winning and that’s sad.
Is just me or people forget Kyle is supposed to be the smart one?
The problem isn’t the sweater vest, is when people ONLY draw Kyle wearing this kind of stuff, he likes wearing sports outfits like jerseys too, people.
If people drew fan art of the other ethnic minority characters as stereotypes, the fandom would be rightly outraged. So why do people turn a blind eye when Kyle is drawn wearing a sweater vest, thick glasses, and with a huge hooked nose? How is this remotely acceptable? Especially when there's zero canon basis for any of this?
This is some of the shit that Jews in fandoms deal with on a constant basis. We're really getting sick of people acting like we don't matter or that our grievances are petty.
I feel like people have doubled down on these portrayals since certain events have happened
It’s REALLY baffling that people in this fandom want the characters to act exactly like they do in the show, even if they’re not consistently written.
However, I do have to draw the line at certain interpretations such as Cartman being an uwu innocent victim while Kyle is a vicious bully, these characterizations are just flat out wrong and aren’t exactly canon, no matter how these people claim they are.
Yet people say that Cartman is an underrated character lmao
To be honest the older South Park fandom wasn't perfect either. I membuhs a time on the now gone SPS forums where most characters that weren't Cartman were aggressively drug through the mud. Including Kenny. I haven't forgotten. XD
