Male dominated fandoms Anonymous 11/08/22 (Tue) 08:28:00 AM27324 [Reply]

I really hate being in male dominated fandoms. Touhou is an example (not only is it male dominated but it's tranny infested too). It's kinda lonely. So many male dominated fandoms would become much better if it had a majority of women. I wonder if others feel that way

Majority of any fandom is coomers, just ban all coomers from platform where it's being discussed and it won't matter if it's male or female fandom anymore because only real discussions will be had.

What's interestesting is seeing how much more creative the female side of fandom is: fanart, fanfiction, group projects, roleplaying, merchandise, cosplay, crochet, crafts, character insp-boards, character inspired makeup tutorials etc. The only male-dominant type of fanwork that comes to mind is music and fangames and porn.

This schism is why I didn't understand the "no girls on the internet" bit when I finally got around to PC gaming and 4chan in like 2004. Until that point I had spent years in fandom spaces almost exclusively with other girls. More like no boys on the internet!
>and porn
Honestly if we are just talking about drawn stuff I don't think it's male dominated. Male leaning maybe. 3dpd though, totally male dominated.

I Became A Garfield Addict Anonymous 08/31/23 (Thu) 09:44:01 AM31955 [Reply]

I started binge watching everything related to Garfield. Garfield & Friends, the TV specials and even the mediocre live action movies. I've even binge watched the terrible CGI Garfield show and direct to dvd movies. Feels like Garfield is slowly taking over my life.

Any other Half-Life fans on CC? Anonymous 12/07/23 (Thu) 03:56:17 AM32822 [Reply]

Favorite GoldSrc/Source Engine game/mod?
The original Half-Life was what convinced me I liked videogames. I still remember getting a copy of it from Goodwill, confident that my dad's office PC would be able to run something this old and it could! That started me down the first (and last) good rabbithole the internet has to offer.

Is there a way to play HL Alyx non-VR-ly? I wonder how they're now going to pull off future games' storyline considering the whole ending of Alyx.

A mod for that probably exists already somewhere.
>I wonder how they're now going to pull off future games' storyline considering the whole ending of Alyx.
Well, Gordon would probably go alone on his journey then, and that means they won't have to worry about making a good ally AI. With Alyx scooped up, I can see it going two ways: either Gordon somehow saves her, or the G-Man deploys here somewhere so she could save Gordon.

I hope at this point they go with a story change up as drastic as the one between 1 and 2 was foe the next game. I don't really care about the Borealis at this point.

True Detective: Night Country Anonymous 02/20/24 (Tue) 09:45:15 AM33734 [Reply]

Look, this script was pure meandering nonsensical bullshit but the way some True Detective fans are losing their minds is a bit too much. Especially when they accuse the show of killing off white moids for the sin of being white moids; treating the murder of white males as justified—while simultaneously admitting the hardest working, most moral, and most likeable character in the show is a white man.

PDF Dump Thread Anonymous 05/26/22 (Thu) 01:43:12 PM24751 [Reply]

I don't think crystal.cafe has ever had one before in it's whole history (although as an imageboard the posting format would support it I assume). I suppose this can serve as a place to just dump any pdf you might have, be it fiction, nonfiction, biographies, cook books, manuals. Really anything that is a pdf. I think this would also serve as a good place for us to exchange our literature, especially for the more GC oriented posters.

i like it a lot, altho the mangaka's very obvious shota/yaoi roots and prefrences were too in your face in the first two arcs (and the big twist arc)
otherwise i was surprised to find it's very well written, the lead up to the reveal was very good and the story and progression is only hurt by it's schedule, otherwise i think it would be much more mainstream (the same applies to owari no seraph and blue exorcist)

Skyler lost me when the Ted saga started.
She was justified in hating Walter and I don't care about her infidelity or whatever, but she didn't have to pick the biggest retard she knew for the task. Walt was wrong for enough reasons to create a second thread about but the one thing he got right was not wanting Ted anywhere near them.

I absolutely love Raymond and cats in general. He's super cute and has an overall nice design with the business/office theme. It's sad that some people hate him because he's popular, sold/trade at an unfair price and fetishized in a maid outfit even to the point of wanting to hurt or remove him from the game. I think people who hate Raymond are Ankha fanboys, contrarians who think it's cool to hate on very loved and popular things or people that had been bullies in the past given that Raymond isn't offensive in any way but cute and kinda nerd-looking.

Emma Bovary. Yes, she's problematic and I often just wanna scream "Emma, why?!"but she's relatable. She feels like a fellow unfulfilled woman with no stable identity that she tries to find in dubious things like affairs, surface religiousness, impulsive purchases. Also I see her as a victim of circumstances that was deprived of more opportunities for fulfillment and excitement by patriarchy. I think she could do well in modern times. She's a bad person but I do love her and relate to her even if it makes both of us a couple of dumpster fire girlies. I think Emma is a wonderful character.
