Writing terrible things happening is one way of processing and dealing with the sudden onrush of FEELINGS that happens in puberty (much like writing dudes boning is a way to process OH GOD I WANT TO gently caress EVERYTHING ALL OF A SUDDEN). You don't know why you're suddenly sad and grumpy all the time, but you can channel that into sexy angst and thus be able to handle it reasonably well.

Mostly happens with girls because a lot of the time people don't let us punch each other or play electric guitar, which I assume is the usual boy way of dealing with puberty.

Yea straight guys can work out their youthful feelings by just punching things and watching whatever today's DBZ version is. Gay kids gotta turn it into a powerful furnace of terror and anxiety but we still got to watch DBZ because we could pretend we weren't just watching it because we knew vegeta wanted get that goku dick and then got to watch Sailor Moon after because haha it just happens to come on right after not my fault.

Girls get stuck having all the same feelings but no acceptable violent outlet so they write fictions where bad things happen. In my school the cool thing was to write stuff where vampires fell in love with humans but it always ended with the vampire dying. Like, they would talk about the different ways they thought up to kill the vampire boyfriend that wasn't 'cliche' and they got into some van helsing poo poo. It ruled.

Did...you guys not process your identity issues by just hiding from most other guys and falling into a group of Spooky Girls and theater homos? Was that not how other people did poo poo?

Jenny’s scariest deep dive was the entire genre of “I was sold into sexual slavery to One Direction to save my family” stories, if only for the hazy awareness of the reality of the slow death of the middle class even in a painfully transparent fantasy. It’s just so specific. Thankfully, I think it was just a twitter thread and not a video.

crippling emotional repression was my cup of tea :coffeepal:

wasn't till I was in college and doing my theatre major that I discovered I could do things with my emotions

still emotionally repressed as gently caress and unable to form lasting connections with people, who knew habits formed during adolescence would shape who you are as an adult? :v:

if it helps the other side is just being way too emotionally vulnerable and being unable to form lasting relationships because you went ham in your first bit of freedom and wound up with a huge pile of issues compounded with childhood poo poo anyway.

I'm pretty sure the emotionally mature and healthy way to cope with puberty is to make horror themes rpg maker fan games. Then if you're really lucky someone will buy the rights to your Jeff the killer indie game and turn it into an anime.

edit: For actual content here's a guy who reviews rpg maker games, both the really terrible ones and ones where there is enough effort present to warrant constructive criticism.

Excuse me I dealt with my puberty the normal way.

Going on IRC and trolling by pretending to be a 65 year old man (an age which seemed comically old at the time) who had just gotten the internet, didn't know how anything worked, and asked a lot of annoying off-topic questions.

Ohhh boooy, how do I wish I could forget that. When the Tohoku earthquake hit, japanese fans on pixiv preemptively asked western fans to not do Japan fanart related to earthquake.

There's that, the dub's more questionable line changes, and many more disasters. That one was the worst, tho.

The fandom has mellowed down considerably, but even now it has its "nooooooo" moments. Nowadays it's mostly shipping and laughing at the musicals (even by Hetalia's standards, the musicals are bananas)

yea Hetalia is a great fandom study because it's so niche and small you could track the age of the majority of the fans with the fandom. It starts off 'I DON'T GET IT WHY ARE YOU SAYING I CAN'T DRAW JAPAN LOVINGLY EMBRACING CHINA AND SAYING SORRY ABOUT NANKING (yes nanking stuff was a real 'genre' of Japan X China stuff)' because most of the people doing it were fuckin 14 year old white kids, then it got to "Ok I get that was bad but here's my Hetalia-sona of a country I like, what do you mean 'stereotypical and ignorant' what the gently caress" when they got older, and now it's just like mostly people saying 'hah this fic of England and America being wacky roomies (and also wanting to fuuuuuuck) is cute' as they turned into normal rear end adults.

at least as far as anime fandoms go

I've been getting into miniature painting as of late, and that's resulted in me watching a lot of stuff on YouTube related to it. One channel that stood out to me was Tabletop Minons. Apart from showing off painting techniques and whatnot, he also covers some other aspects of the hobby.

Also, here's something interesting I've seen being shared around. Platinum Paragon did a study on adults who play video games.

Hmm. If they weren't committed to the "gamer" identification they would have a better sample size (925 to 165 why would you do this to yourself). Hell their "Online Gaming Mental Health" analysis has sample size of 12,348.

Alternatively do to parallel LCAs of "gamers", "non-gamers who play videogames", and "non-gamers who don't play videogames" and see what subgroups arise.

If they used decision trees they may have been able to make an accurate predictions for unanswered questions in the non-valid cases (say individuals that refused only one or two questions).

Overall you could probably get department funds for a conference poster out of this work. If you want anything more than beer money revisions will be needed.
