YAELOKRE IS SO SO TALENTED AND AMAZING and I hope they don't let a few crummy people stop them from expanding and continuing the music and magical world they've created
People on TikTok are insufferable. Their art and music is so good and they seem so sweet, I hope everything works out for them :3 and their have a rlly nice voice
I’ve seen someone saying that they’re only pretending they like yaelokre to get more followers. Another reason I believe people are starting to dislike yaelokre is because others may want to be unique. They hate on things that are seen as popular. I love yaelokre and their music. Yaelokre is an indie artist and having so many people say stuff about their music can damage and stop the project
I got into it from the trend, but I plan to stick around. I am a big time music fan and their songs are really good. I also love any animal-people and the comforting art style Raghu. I love when musicians have lore
how on *earth* did an imaginary cricket currency get to the point that people were actually arguing over it. This is 8-year-olds-roleplaying-on-a-playground shenanigans. "People were mad that people were giving away hundreds and thousands of them and it caused massive inflation :(" idk i feel like if someone made a comment saying "I give everyone 20 million crickets!!! uwu" you could simply ignore it. it's so odd.
Yeah, inflation with a FAKE currency is wild, people in the fandom will use the rules of the currency, and people out of the fandom will do their own thing with the currency. It's not that big of a deal.
What. I'm confused. So bcuz of one single short that said "5 crickets" now it's a cute system of currency. If you guys had a problem with some people breaking the rules before it was announced the trend shouldn’t continue- can you guys even get through a game of monopoly???
I understand where you're coming from, but it's far worse than just that. From what I've seen/heard, the limit was 5 crickets, and people who weren't in the fandom were saying "+500 crickets" or something like that. The creator didn't want the same thing as the dabloons thing happening to them.
bro i can NOT believe people are still making fun of self insert ocs in fandom!!! fandom ocs are such an important and integral part of fan culture and theyre so much of what keep a fandom alive, and here we are, 2024, people are _still_ getting bullied for making a character to fit into a piece of media they like??????? im honestly ashamed of them for being such bullies tbh
I personally love making ocs for stuff I like. It's muscle memory at this point (I blame dnd). It shouldn't be seen as bad. People want to be part of something and ocs are a way to do so.
I had this weird phase where I didn't like self-insert/oc x canon. And then I fell in love with a character and made an oc to ship them with and realized how dumb it was to hate on it. I'm still a tiny bit critical about it in cases where it gets weird, like age/established sexualities. But for the most part, go nuts peeps, have fun!
i rlly cant understand whats wrong with self inserts...like, theres nothing morally wrong with it ive been making self-inserts since i was small and not on the internet yet(i had a HUGE imagination and wanted to be with the characters sm)
Unfortunately that’s just how the internet is, whenever something exists and gets even even a little bit popular, someone sexualizes it. It’s inevitable at this point, and that fact alone is repulsive.
I love yaelokre ever since the first renfaire in the philippines,, As a filipino myself, i love seeing underrated filipino artists gain popularity worldwide especially if they are THISSS good,, but somehow i'm sad these all happened for them too quickly like heck- They havent made a proper introduction to some things yet like they said in their tweet,, and already the fandom got scolded by the creator themselves. Even some fandoms got their massive peaks for a long while before stuff starts hitting the fan 😭 Yaelokre is a really awesome and nice creator,, heck i even managed to be friends with them in discord and called me a fellow plant friend for the oc i was making for myself inspired by them!! They do not deserve this kind of issue and i hope in whatever stuff that just happened, they still continue making what they love.
I just discovered Yaelokre thanks to this video and quickly got into them because of my love for folk fantasy music... you're telling me they're Filipino too??? Holy crap!
Tbh this is starting to remind me of the gooseworx situation and how she literally had to tell her fandom to chill out. Its sad that the creator themselves have to tell mfs to chill out when they already should know this by now its like there little kids and the creator is there parent its sad really
ughhh it's so stressing that yaelokre's work is now compared to a "cult" and "the welcome home fandom" i'm gonna be real it's not that bad, fandom just went through the usual tiktok plague mind. not hating on you though, i'm just baffled how now liking a band with some cute characters can get you on discourse
If you’re referring to the phrase “cult following” that phrase actually means to have a small but very dedicated fan base! Unless I’m misinformed and there’s people out there comparing it to a cult
@@no1legobatmanfan Yes, sadly there are people calling the fandom a "cult" wich made Yaelokre uncomfortable. Someone even made a video bcs people were correcting them that the fandom isn't called cult and there are alternatives like village or so, and the person said "You guys saying it isn't a cult makes it seen more like a cult"
History repeats itself, even (and especially) on the internet. fandoms always have that burst in to fame phase, and like fire it slowly dies down and becomes more approachable, it's just how it is, some fandoms take longer to calm down, some are quicker but thats usually how it goes. You also have to look where you are engaging with the fandom, with tiktok it seems (from an outsider view) that things can be rather intense and often drama happens. This may not be the best example, but i've often seen fandoms that are seemingly dead in other places thriving on Tumblr, they surely aren't as big as they were but they are pretty alive there in their own little spot. You can also do your part to keep the fandom alive and happy, post your commentary, your ocs, find a nice group to engage in and go from there!
Yaelokre is so good and I just learned about it but tbh It’s so sad that they’re getting all this hate and the pro shippers are disgusting at least the real fans will stay after all the discourse if yaelokre doesn’t like the cricket system then it shouldn’t be used I think yaelokre’s music is beautiful and as I said they don’t deserve the hate
Same here I just been getting Theriens all over my for you page with one of their recent songs and I could be more happy because I get to see peoples lovely art as an artist myself. I love seeing people get along and making mask and I love their music too. It’s really fucking catchy so I’m sad to actually learn about what’s going on.
No Offense but proshippers listen to music too so there isn't a community a proshiper wouldn't be in el oh el basically, problematic people are in every fandom
Yesss the story should not be hated on like this, I have been following them for ages and I mist say im really happy that they got happy, but its sad that , that people are using their simple story to hate on them
Same! I found them when they posted their song, Harpy Hare. The video was still low on views, but I followed them bcuz I love the art and the song she made. It's sad to see what had happened to them.
Yaelokre is a wonderful creator in my opinion. their songs and art always bring me back to old story books, those storys of small villages and their own folklore that only the people in the village will understand. I hate how the bad side of the fandom (of any fandom really) will get so mad and upset then the main creator sets boundaries and tell people they aren't comfortable with something, then being called cringe or having fake rumors suddenly come around over a simple statement! I get some music gets popular fast and yaelokre just seems happy that they get to share their creations with others and didn't want this to become chaos. (I dont even want to start talking about the proshipping they dont need more attention tbh)
I concur with you! Their music really reminds me of AURORA's, they have a very ethereal voice too. I hope they keep pursuing their career as an artist!
I think the most hate is going to the fandom since some say "there the "most unproblematic fandom " and it gets ppl mad because in no way can a fandom be 100% clean because there's always gonna be some portion that's problematic noticed or not there's always something problematic somewhere if you know what i mean
People hate cuz the fans are so dramatic ive seen one video of someone saying they dont like the music and now they’re acting like its the end of the world
People dislike penelope scott????? Wow :(. Huge P.S fan here, i know the lyrics to all of her songs (including the newer songs), so it hurts hearing that people dislike her all because she’s no longer popular.
exactly what i thought. shes a huge comfort creator for me and i listen to her music ALL the time. kinda makes me sad to hear that people dont like her :(
I LOVE yaelokre, and I really don't understand the sudden switch up. Because one moment everyone was like "Oh, yaelokre is so cool!" or "Oh, I love yaelokre, my favorite song is _____!" but now everyone is suddenly hating on it? I've known yaelokre before it really started getting popular - but its upsetting to see so many people suddenly bashing it. I've seen so much hate on it for what seems like no reason. But their music is truly beautiful and I get chills every time I listen lol. You're super underrated and I love the artwork! ^^
God I feel you so much, I was so excited when I started to see more people get into something indie or niche that I love, but now seeing all the people who are being hateful and stuff just hurts :/
Wait I didn’t know they were getting hate, i just follow them through yt and insta, I think is less toxic (?) idk I don’t check comments of hateful people often
This fandom would've actually been so peaceful and welcoming towards anyone if stuff like this didn't happen in almost every single community. I just hope Yaelokre doesn't lose hope and keeps on working on this dream of theirs, because it is unfair that they're receiving so much hate and pressure just for doing what they like. Please leave Yaelokre alone.
I remember watching the music video for Harpy Hare like 3 weeks ago, and then *boom* Yaelokre suddenly got popular. Huh. I personally just like the music, it's pretty good and whimsical. Also, people think the Yaelokre fandom is "problematic"?? Damn, people really do hate anything
Yaelokre isn’t really my genre of music, but my partner does, and it’s super annoying to see people call them cringe for simply listening to music they enjoy.
Same. I found Neath the Grove Is A Heart through RUclips recs and really enjoyed the music and art and listened to their other stuff and liked that too. Genuinely I had no idea there was all this shit going on. Sounds like it's all a TikTok thing??
@@FlowersOfIcetor Absolutely a TikTok thing. The people I've seen on YT are totally chill about it, many dressing up as the characters. The cosplays or the videos of people animating their OCs to Yaelokre's songs are lovely, and I don't doubt the same is happening on TikTok. But you don't see people full of hate and anger on YT making that many videos..
This is why fame sucks. Yaelokre is an extremely talented person. Not only are they a great musician, singer, and song-writer. They're also a talented storyteller, artist, animator, and performer. And at a young age too. Very few people have the kind of talent that they do, as well as the motivation to actively pursue their talents and make a living off of it. I ABSOLUTELY believe that all the love and praise they've received is deserved. I'll admit that I personally got sucked into the fandom VERY quickly. I watched one of their music videos (Heartebeast), and that was it. I was instantly hooked. I'm a huge fan of folk music, animation, cottage-core aesthetic, and fantasy media. And Yaelokre is like the perfect middle of the venn-diagram for the things I like. I spent the next 3 days watching pretty much all of their RUclips videos and Instagram stories, and downloading all of their songs on Spotify, completely sucked into the story they were telling with their characters and music. But with all of that said...when literally any fandom becomes large, there are going to be toxic people. This is just the sad truth of fame. So many talented well-meaning people who create beautiful, inspiring content, end up having toxic fandoms just because of the sheer size of the fandom. If you have a thousand chickens there are bound to be a few bad eggs. As a writer/artist myself it's part of why I'm often anxious about openly publishing anything I make. Obviously most creative people dream of the day they might "make it big", but "making it big" often comes with some big negatives too. At best it can be annoying and stressful, and at worst it can be genuinely terrifying and completely dream-crushing. So it makes me really upset to hear that there are toxic people in this fandom, and that already there are people saying they hate the fandom because of those toxic people. The content that this creator makes is so sweet, innocent, and fun. I feel like it captures the spirit of being told fairytales as a child. And their sound is so unique. I think the closest comparison that I can make is that their music kinda sounds like if AURORA and Of Monsters and Men got put in a blender. But even with that said, there is still an undeniable originality about them that sets them apart from other folk artists. I completely understand why so many people have suddenly flocked to Yaelokre, their story, and their music. But a part of me genuinely feels bad that Yaelokre has so much fame, in the sense that they're now having to unfairly experience the down-sides of it. And it isn't their fault. Some fandoms have toxic creators. This is definitely not one of them. There are just a bunch people being gross and annoying and immature, and we need to deal with those people. But I don't think Yaelokre or the fandom as a whole deserves hate, because Yaelokre is super talented and the vast majority of us fans are just here to admire that talent. I really hope this doesn't get them too upset, and that they don't let a few bad people ruin their well-deserved fame.
i had no idea this was even a thing, i only listen to one song by them and its harpy hare because its a genuinly good song to me, but then i see like 50 acct suddenly pop up out of nowhere all with pfps of it from people i know have never even expressed a intrest in the music or anything. its so weird to me to thing so many people jump on and off stuff so fast. another thing like this is BNHA or MHA its a good show with good characters but people now can no longer seperate it from the fandom, i dislike the fandom of mha but i genuinly like the characters and relate to some of them mainly denki kaminari but its hard to express this without getting shit for it because of the fandom. people need to get their head on straight A SHOW AND A FANDOM ARE TWO SEPERATE THINGS not everyone who likes a show with a bad fandom are bad. theres also undertale, if you know the Undertale AU amino im so sory for you. it was so toxic, i actually got off amino completly because of it but i dont fw the FANDOM the game is cool its a great game and intresting too. people are the problem. and surprise surprise not all people are the same. get over yourselves and stop hating anyone who likes a 'cringe' show or game.
I think an example of Trend hopping would be Stanley cups; people were hyping it up & acting like they got a forbidden fruit & then afterwards they started hating on the cups.
I discovered harpy hare and hartebeest a little bit before it became a big thing, really just enjoying the calm fairytale-esque songs and interesting art. Ive tended to stray away as the new fandom grows, mostly because it feels like something bad will happen as does with many fast-coming fast-ending trends or fandoms :(. It also tends to be a bit sad when every fan video only uses one song from the creator. As of now, i think there’s only about 5 songs, but the 5 are all good. I’d really appreciate seeing more videos featuring them. In short, as i read someone else here state, a lot of fans just feel fake and jump-on-the-bandwagon types. Sad thing, really, that this can all be forgotten in maybe 5 or less months.
Like they’re saying “ we want yaeklore to be a safe and calm community! “ like just listen to the music. Also who gets so annoyed at people saying “ who ever sees this vid gets 500 crickets! “ like ignore it? That’s how you’re supposed to be ‘unproblematic’
I love Fish Inside a Birdcage and Cosmo Sheldrake along side Yaeklore! Wriggle makes me want to jump and enter a portal to a mystery realm of weird and silly creatures, and Rule 11 (My Dream, My Addiction) is a good song for me to imagine characters in :) Fish Inside a Birdcage songs always have the best string instruments too. I noticed this in Rule 34 (unfortunely it doesn't have an alternate title lol) Edit: accidentally sent reply early
I discover Bird in a birdcage and yaelorke in the same yt playlist couple months ago! Yt sometimes do a good job HAHAHS that made me also listen to the Ih Hellos again, and I appreciate a lot as a christian
I have only joined the Yaelokre fandom a couple days ago, maybe a week and a half ago. It's a super cute concept and the creator is such an amazing artist! I have not made any mutuals in this fandom except for my current friends who also like the fandom, and I encourage others to make friends with those who share interests! I've seen some people talking about how the fandom has taken other fandom's signature ideas such as the cricket system and the star on the hand-- The cricket system was an obvious Dabloon trend system, while some are upset how the star on the hand was taken from the Therian community's paw on hand for when school started. These are valid things to be upset about, honestly! It's quite sad how quickly the fandom turned sour, especially since Yaelokre has stated that they were upset with how popular it grew in such a short amount of time without them even putting out anything significant, AND about how people were disrespecting their boundaries and still are disrespecting their requests. But genuinely, I think this fandom will survive it's short fallout when the trend of liking it comes to a slow! Unrelated, but your art is beautiful! The way you formatted the video was helpful to understand more of what was going on. Thank you for going over this topic!
bro i feel like everytime an artist gets popular, there's people in certain fandoms like pjsk who call them cringe and bad just so they could feel quirky with their music taste and call the artists and songs they like "underrated" and expects everyone to agree with them
I think theres something to be said about people continually "fandom-izing" every up and coming creator they see. This started with Welcome Home, where it was just one person's personal OC project and spiraled into an entire fandom and now there are bootleg Wally plushies selling on Temu. Personally I think fandomizing any small creator is inherently weird, you can be a fan of someone but at what point does it cross the line into the territory of now becoming possessive over someone else's work? If I posted a comic about my OCs on TikTok or something, and it blew up and people started calling themselves a part of a "fandom" relating to me and my work, I would be VERY uncomfortable. This isn't even mentioning the proshippers who Yaelokre has already had to speak about. I just don't understand why every single new interesting piece of work has to instantly become a fandom, to me it just seems like a lot of these people wish THEY were the ones who made the original art and now want to capitalize on it. Why don't we all just calm down for a second and realize Yaelokre is ONE normal person posting their art. People upholding these "fandoms" tend to think they have some sort of claim or possessiveness over the original art and artist and that simply isn't true. Honestly I hope that the next time a small artist blows up and people start being weird that they just private all their work because y'all will get WAY too comfortable and disregard any and all boundaries if it means you get more content of your blorbos.
I think so too, and I personally hate referring to Meadowlark's enjoyers as the "fandom"😭😭😭 They (Yaelokre) has made the name Wonderfolks for anyone who love and enjoy their wonderment, and i think it's cuter (and better?) than using the word "fandom"🙈🙈❤
I only strike down shippers that are taking two characters and shipping them when they have a VERY different relationship I accept people if they do stuff in the community or whatever it's called for that group of people if they 1. don't claim it as their own characters 2. Don't make ships that are practically impossible with the characters' relationships with each other I will NOT support them if 1. Make NSFW stuff on a thing that isn't and the creator has stated they don't like having their work turned NSFW
@@yourlocaldrittenlover I don't care as long as it's not children, they aren't being possessive, and they aren't trying to shove it down everyones throats. Edit: as well as not trying to invade peoples privacy... that last one is just an in general thing though.
Especially the FPE fandom, it has randomly blown up and it's now a target for brainrot but idk if any part of its fandom has ever done nsfw shipping art
I could sense that yaelokre was going to repeat the trendhopping cycle as soon as it got popular, im glad you made this video. So much ill get excited to join a new fandom only for it to start getting hated on, Digital circus, Welcome home, Regretevator (Specifically gnarpy) and its nice to see other people talk about it
The whole Yaelokre thing just honestly reminds me of Welcome Home (like you said) because the creator just wanted to post their silly songs and ocs, only for it to blow up in popularity then go to shame once a influence of bad people came in, or people decided it was ok to do certain stuff that is NOT ok to do
Im very glad you explained this i usually just listen to the songs so I was confused when I saw a post from Yaelokre discussing how they felt 💜 And ido hope yaelokre doesn't just become popular and then forgotten like other artists I've seen I genuinely enjoyed all of their songs even though I dont listen to new music often -Juat a rando 😅
5:09 this is such a good point. For example, alfred’s playhouse is both controversial AND it’s thought to be a vent piece by the girl who made it back in newgrounds days, but now people just see it as a cartoon dog who’s got eric cartman style thoughts, and think it’s cool to idolize the mc and put him in a better light. Newer fandoms like yaelokre could not even scratch the SURFACE of “controversy”, which is why I’m so tired of people saying it’s controversial. You’re gonna have bad apples in every fandom no matter what, it all comes down to whether the artists/poster let’s it run rampant and validates the bad side of the fandom, or if they decide to put their foot down to draw a line.
I was here before Yaelokre got extremely popular. And watching this once lovely and peaceful fandom turn slowly toxic is so sad, all I can do is hope that once the trend hoppers leave everything will go back to normal
I just joined a few days ago due to their song “Harpy Hare” becoming popular. I’ve been listening to their other songs and it’s so good! I definitely won’t be leaving at all.
With how quickly the trends come and go now, it's probably going to be forgotten soon, which is sad because people who seem to be supportive now may leave but at least that means there will be less toxic people too
One important thing is that Yaelokre never actually said they hated the cricket system - that’s something the fans made up after misinterpreting the tweet that was made. The actual tweet was Yaelokre stating they didnt like the RULES of the cricket system, that people should enjoy the fandom how they want to enjoy it. Ironically, this tweet just led to people policing others enjoyment even more. And to that ive joked that the entire reason the fandom is so big is cause you dont gotta read, only listen /j/j.
Ive been surprised of this sudden trend. Like some months ago they werent so popular. And it kinda makes me sad that yaelokre is becoming a trend, cus with most trends people just leave after a while. I never actually knew about the cricket system, and if Yaelokre doesnt support it neither should the fandom. It can really affect their work so far if there is gonna be hate, like they were just a small artist getting their amazing songs out in the world. I just hope that if something does go bad that they will still continue making music. I love all their songs and characters😊❤ and of course I want more music :>
When I saw the title of this video, I immediately clicked because I couldn’t agree more. I really love Yaelokre’s music but with so many trend hoppers, I don’t want people to assume I listen to them only because it’s a trend :(
I think the biggest catalyst for these issues that made it get so bad is the fact that a lot of the people in it are young, like 10-14. Kids like that don’t really have much experience in fandoms so they try to ‘protect’ it from being problematic- anyone who’s been in a lot of fandoms like me will know this is impossible. They then usually get upset when they can’t protect it, while drastically overexaggerating things like the crickets and ‘draw a star on your hand’ thing. Not that all younger fans act like this, but a vast majority do. I also found the fandom through Tiktok TLDR little kids exaggerating things is a big issue in the fandom
This! ^^^ In my experience with fandom, as somebody who frequents "cringy/toxic" fandom, I can tell you from experience these fandoms are 99% of the time just full of children. If you made a ven-diagram with "fandoms full of children" and "fandoms considered cringy, toxic, and just generally nuclear waste" then.. I *guarantee* you, there's going to be more overlap, than not.
Yaelokore is a genuinely good artist and I love their little indie project. The trend hoppers will most likely go away soon, which will leave a space for genuine fans thankfully. I'll give it 1-2 months maximum. I just wish trend hoppers weren't so consistent in fandoms, considering that they usually leave stains on the Fandom because they sometimes do bad things which end in damaging the Fandom and media's reputation, which sucks. I hope yaelokore doesn't get discouraged by anything that happens, and continues with their project!
I have been noticing that this does happen for alot of indie media,infact. It goes popular by genuine fans - trend hoppers come in and make it popular - trend hoppers start unnecessary discourse - trendhoppers go away when they eventually get bored and start making hate posts about it. It really sucks to see so many actual good indie projects get hated on all because people want to seem trendy and cool.. People should learn to engage with media they like, and leave the media they aren't interested in alone. It's pretty simple to do
I've also noticed that trendhoppers don't understand Fandom culture either.. Ocs and self inserts are what makes media fun! I have so many ocs and self inserts myself!! And so do other people, cuz it's fun! But the trendhoppers deem that cringe and they harass people who do that. Unless there's an actual problem with the content, they shouldn't be harassed because they did something "cringy"!! Sorry for yapping so much, lol. I get really passionate about things
This is in my opinion: Yaelokre is a very talented and creative person and its saddening that people like this on Tiktok would go out of their way to make this fandom (that I didn't know existed tbh) very toxic and unbearable, when in my opinion, isn't even that bad. I love the music that Yaelokre brings and the fanart of the fandom. And yes, it is very important to know that if you don't like something, ignore it. This also implies to other fandoms too.
I love your art! I've only recently discovered Yaelokre but it's clear that they are so talented and I seriously hope that people don't ruin their creativity with the way that they're beginning to act!
Trend hopping is so confusing to me... I was into Yaelokre for a few months before this recent influx so I'm just watching this massive group of people come and then leave almost immediately. Hopefully the wave of popularity still benefits them, their music is incredible. This keeps happening to things I like it's so weird, they get super popular and then suddenly a bunch of people hate them even though it's still the same thing
People just love to call everything cringe, the best thing you can do at this point is to not care about it and keep enjoying what you like. At least, as you said, the popularity helps the creator to keep developing their project so not everything is bad
honestly at this point i'm just convinced that the people who are responsible for yaelokre's "downfall" are just insecure and jealous of the internet discovering a new awesome, talented and unique artist and can't stand seeing someone else's success. i sadly only just discovered them recently because i'm not on tiktok, but i absolutely adore their art, ocs and music and they seem like a very sweet and genuine person. i definitely don't just see it as some random trend i will forget about in a week. hope they release more songs in spotify soon i am dying for moreeeee!!
I have absolutely been loving Yaelokre so far, but haven't been interacting with the fandom quite as much. Mostly because I think it's most active on TikTok, and I am not on TikTok, so I'm not really sure how or how not toxic this fandom is, but from what I've heard, it's definitely too early to call that because it's only been there for such a short amount of time. Great video! You deserve more attention❤
I don't think it's bad. It's the BEST FANDOM EVER! Sounds very traditional, medieval and amazing. I like this creator and its talents. It's lovely! I really support the artist/owner/musician for the effort it has gotten.🥰
I’ve only been aware of Yaelokre via stumbling onto their music in my RUclips recommendations and instantly loving it, and I don’t have hardly any social media presence. Honestly I just massively respect their combined visual and musical storytelling and people going the type of crazy described in this video over it just comes across as nonsensical, unnecessary, and annoying. I have listened to their songs on loop on and off since I found them, and will continue to do so. 💖
As someone who just got into Yaelokre’s art, I am amazed by their songs and animations 💕 I don’t know much about the fandom as I don’t use TikTok anymore, but it seems to be a really peaceful and great fandom, at least compared to others
Yaelokre is so talented, and they don’t deserve all the chaotic shenanigans that some of these trend hoppers are bringing. They just want to share their stories with the world, and I hope they continue to do that, because I do love their music!
I literally found it a few weeks ago due to therian posts on my yt shorts.( I myself , am not a therian but would love to have therian friends) i love the world they are building. Im 22 and honeslty i dont think ive ever seen a world ive wanted to be more apart of then hazbin. Its so peaceful feeling and reminds me of light novels i used to read as a child. Unfortunately the internet ruins alot of things especially fandoms, ive never , and i mean NEEEEVER! wanted to be in a fandom until now. So i really hope that everyone can pull there sh!t together and we can all be forest creatures living in harmony together ❤❤
yaelokre is so talented and needs to get respect because the problametic people on fandom makes her look bad and makes her get hated when its not even her fault. fandom is 50/50 half good half bad fandom and its actually unfair that good people in fandom gets hated too
The welcome home mention had me hooked immediately. I love WH & Yaelokre so much. They’re such wonderful works of creativity (I say as I look over at my Wally Darling plush). It sucks to see bad apples ruin the bunch, but you can’t let them ruin your enjoyment of the source material or the fandom material you love.
I loved harpy hare, and planned on learning about the story and joining the community. Ill admit im a new fan, but i didnt think it was a big fandom nor had... THIS
same !! I got into it yesterday, and it inspired me to make a world based on folktales and the like. so, when I saw this video I was just terrified, I honestly hate when tiktok catches wind of niche media, most of them just hate on it for no damn reason.
this reminds me a lot of what happened with sodikken a few years back, and i'm just as mad about this happening now as i was back then people should be allowed to make art and have fun without worrying about getting hounded for it for Literally No Reason
Im pretty sure this whole song "Harpy Hare" was to keep people happy, or it was a story, or based off of culture, or it could be all three. Even if leave her alone! Let her live her life, she did nothing wrong, its just a person who wants to make people feel better and shes doing ehat she wants.
As someone who’s in the works of making something bound to have a fandom, trends shouldn’t be taken so seriously. If you wanna hop on, sure. But I feel like ppl can’t have anything new, then complain when we bring old things back
As someone who's been here to witness their rise and absolute explosion in popularity, its sad to see how the problems that slowly followed with it. Im greatful and couldn't be more happy for yaelokre and the support they've been getting but i can't help but feel bad for hoe the people both in and outside of the community have been acting towards them.
i dont understand why people feel the need to hate on something the second it randomly becomes popular, at least its gone towards real talent. nobody is asking you to like the music, but hating isnt going to fix anything.
tThankfully, I never joined the Yaelokre fandom because of its popularity. In all honestly i simply ignored them at first because I had not been interested in it. I only got caught up because of the beautiful art and wonderful music! I despised it when people immediately called it "problematic." It had just started to set its footing and I find it hypocritical and weird for people to call it that so quickly. I heavily dislike how much people jump on the hate for something new, It's damn pathetic. I get that the fandom right now is at a low point, and I can pretty much guarantee that the popularity will die down soon enough. (i doubt i'll ever be leaving since they have become one of my favorite artist) but it’s no excuse since some of these fans are actual children, I get why some find this fandom “cringe” but honestly, people who can’t find the fun in something like this; and simply defaults into bullying, is boring. Again I 100% understand why some have an issue with it, but let us grow as a fandom! Small or big.
I appreciate that you made a video, I have been a fan of Yaeklore since almost the beginning, and I didn't know why it had suddenly become so popular, I also didn't know why there was hate, I personally love Yaeklore very much since it seems original and beautiful to me, thank you new for the video
This melts my brain. I’m so glad that I’m not on any social media, because these stupid controversies and trends is just so toxic. Like I love Yaelokre, I would be happy to talk with someone about it irl. But this is ridiculous tbh.
Yaelokre is so cool, my favorite is clementine. They don’t deserve hate. They’re art and music is amazing. The character design, it’s great, I don’t get why people hate it. :(
i think the problem is where the fandom took place by itself, tiktok is already a place full of drama and mess by itself so promoting your stuff in here will automatically make you susceptible to having a fandom full of drama and mess too
This is so true. I was one of the people who got interested in it before the big trends. I found their music amazing and was an instant sub! Trend-hoppers are such annoying people. The fandoms I get into I basically never not be part of. They deserve all the love and support.
EXACTLY, they aren’t just a trend and I love their music, Yaelokre is so creative and talented! Edit: ALSO YASLOKRE’S MUSIC IS BASED OFF FAE FOLK LORE AND ITS AMAZINGG‼️🔥
Mentioning Penelope Scott in passing made me realize how little i get involved in music fandom because i did not know people hated her stuff when I love it
I watched the official discord go from 2k members to 27k before it got shut down because it kept getting raided and Yaelokre was super stressed about it. They’re so sweet I’ve caught a few of their insta lives and it just tries to be nice to everyone I am glad that currently the trend has died down and now it’s pretty much just the actual fans who genuinely enjoy it
as someone whose really gotten into thier music i didnt even know thier was like a actual fandom just fans of thier music and lore and some people who made ocs. it was only recently i knew there was a discord i think there isnt actual problems in the fandom itself i think thats just a tiktok related issue and tiktok isnt everything the youtube, instagram and discord community as far as im aware are pretty clean and just people who genuinely enjoy thier music ect. so basically i feel tiktok should be ignored at this point when it comes to fandoms tiktok is like the twitter of fandoms and communities.
Thank you very much for talking about this situation I’ve been following yaelorker since late 2023 and early 2024 on Facebook so before everything blew up and for the most part, the fandom was kind of hidden away for a while until things blew up and if I’m gonna be honest, I enjoyed it that way a little bit better yes, I do like seeing a bunch of the art people make, and everybody coming together and enjoying their music but there as well but at the same time, it definitely made things a bit more difficult and has changed a lot of things and how the fandom maneuvers if you genuinely don’t like music or don’t like whatever you don’t like about yealorker you can simply just scroll also just to point out on every social media app. There is a button that you can press that is called not interested and you won’t get recommended those type of videos or slideshows as for the cricket system be mature about it. It’s simply something to use as a little silly gesture you can do online. There’s no need to push it and no need to get so upset about it if we don’t want the fandom to die out then we need to do better. We don’t wanna end up like welcome home.
im rlly hoping for tiktok's downfall. im so glad i left the platform before it got worse by ppl bullying, being racist, and other disgusting things to other people. they would literally judge EVERYTHING...
my main issue with the fandom was after yaelokre stated their dislike for the cricket system, the older fans started making rules that hindered creativity and judging the minors in the fandom for enjoying a media they enjoy. Yaelokre said we have no right to tell someone how to enjoy a media, and it was like people did the exact opposite. Its not just the cricket system. It was heart breaking to see a post from someone saying they were scared to make an oc because they saw someone saying its against yaelokres wishes, not to mention some fans are scared to make headcanons. My point is, after yaelokre spoke out about the sudden rise in the fandom and the issues that came with it, people jumped immediately into making rules and judging how people enjoy the media, scaring away fans who wanted to participate in the fandom. It seemed like everyone ignored "-and none of you have the right to say nor inform others how to enjoy a piece of media, especially one built upon childlike wonder."
People need to calm down It’s a fun creation that you can see has a worlds worth of effort put into it! The creator is incredibly skilled, people should acknowledge that instead of trying to be unique by pretending not to like Yarlokre just because it’s popular. It’s fine if it’s genuinely just not their thing and they’re not hating, but people who actively hate and support hate towards the project are not okay. Rather, their behaviour is not okay.
I HATE when something gets poupular for like a week or two and then everyone suddenly decides that its cringy and hate the people who still like it, it really needs to stop. Its happened so many times😭
Every time I see these baby fandom people who are just starting out in fandom culture talk about how things are “cringe” and “toxic” it makes me laugh so hard bc they would die like a Victorian child if they knew what the Homestuck or Hetalia fandoms were like. I was in the TRENCHES back in my middle school 😂😂I love those kids just starting in fandom but man they have no idea what old fandom was like on tumblr
It's scary how fast all of this happened! I knew of Yaelokre WAYYY before getting popular (friend of a friend). I remember waiting for Harpy Hare to release and begging everyone I knew to give it a listen because of how criminally underrated it was! Now I'm seeing people with profile pictures of the Harkers and running into fans in the wild? I'm happy they're finally getting their work recognized, but I hope all the "drama" around the community settles down soon. I've only chatted with them a few times online, but they're genuinely one of the nicest people I've talked to before, and to see all this toxicity around them is just sad.
For the point, people are problematic when they saw a song of animation, they don't understand of the song and making a oc, I love those clothes design and creative the songs, I always play it during school and after school Those people need to learn and listen and understand it before they getting an act, which is stupid when someone people judge some amazing song "happy hare" 😮💨
one issue i take with this video is that proshipper is a very broad term which you have used to describe a tiny group of people. a proshipper is exactly what it sounds like: someone who believes in shipping what you want to see and ignoring what you don't. for instance, the mha fandom is notorious for being extremely hostile to anyone who ships something other than what the community sees as right. a proshipper dislikes this. and yes, being a proshipper also (usually, if you're not a hypocrite) includes taboo topics, but only a very very small group of them mean harm and are actually bad people. lots of people make art about minors to cope with their own trauma, for instance, or write about dark topics to contrast an otherwise wholesole fandom. this is also proshipping.
@@JuniDrawz i get that, but i don't think it's right to essentially call thousands of people pedos because explaining the nuance of the term is too time consuming.

@@circus4796 okay man, you just didn't listen to anything i said. i said that's not what it is 99.9% of the time. there are so many reasons you could consume or create that kind of content that don't involve you being a horrible person. you could be a minor yourself. you could be engaging with fandoms you liked when you were younger, and since fictional characters don't age, you're stuck with kids unless you age them up (which many people do, but they still get called predators for it). you could, like i said, be dealing with trauma. none of that involves you beating it to underage smut. to put all of that under the umbrella of "you just wanna see kids having sex because it arouses you" is very shortsighted.
@@circus4796 okay man, i literally said that it's not that 99.9% of the time. there are so many reasons why you would consume or create that kind of content that don't involve you being a bad person. you could be a minor yourself. you could be reconnecting with fandoms you liked when you were younger. you could, like i said, be dealing with trauma. none of that involves you getting off on kids, and i think sweeping all that under that one umbrella is shortsighted and erases a wide range of experiences that might diversify a community. no one complained about the characters in harry potter being minors when you wrote stuff about them, for instance, because this kind of purity culture is a new thing.

I’ve seen someone saying that they’re only pretending they like yaelokre to get more followers. Another reason I believe people are starting to dislike yaelokre is because others may want to be unique. They hate on things that are seen as popular. I love yaelokre and their music. Yaelokre is an indie artist and having so many people say stuff about their music can damage and stop the project

I got into it from the trend, but I plan to stick around. I am a big time music fan and their songs are really good. I also love any animal-people and the comforting art style Raghu. I love when musicians have lore

how on *earth* did an imaginary cricket currency get to the point that people were actually arguing over it. This is 8-year-olds-roleplaying-on-a-playground shenanigans. "People were mad that people were giving away hundreds and thousands of them and it caused massive inflation :(" idk i feel like if someone made a comment saying "I give everyone 20 million crickets!!! uwu" you could simply ignore it. it's so odd.
dabloons ahh
For reelz how does inflation even happen with a fictional currency? People will try to start drama over anything they find I swuer
Yeah, inflation with a FAKE currency is wild, people in the fandom will use the rules of the currency, and people out of the fandom will do their own thing with the currency. It's not that big of a deal.
they should care more about real life money than made up roleplay currency ☠️
@@aishidove literally what I was gonna say lmao
What. I'm confused. So bcuz of one single short that said "5 crickets" now it's a cute system of currency. If you guys had a problem with some people breaking the rules before it was announced the trend shouldn’t continue- can you guys even get through a game of monopoly???
Literally who cares about the rules of a cricket based currency? It’s just like dabloons! Let it be fun
I understand where you're coming from, but it's far worse than just that. From what I've seen/heard, the limit was 5 crickets, and people who weren't in the fandom were saying "+500 crickets" or something like that. The creator didn't want the same thing as the dabloons thing happening to them.

bro i can NOT believe people are still making fun of self insert ocs in fandom!!! fandom ocs are such an important and integral part of fan culture and theyre so much of what keep a fandom alive, and here we are, 2024, people are _still_ getting bullied for making a character to fit into a piece of media they like??????? im honestly ashamed of them for being such bullies tbh
THIS
Like holy shit, fancontent (Fancharacters + fanchilds included) is what keeps a fandom alive, just let people have fun 😭
I personally love making ocs for stuff I like. It's muscle memory at this point (I blame dnd). It shouldn't be seen as bad. People want to be part of something and ocs are a way to do so.
I had this weird phase where I didn't like self-insert/oc x canon. And then I fell in love with a character and made an oc to ship them with and realized how dumb it was to hate on it.
I'm still a tiny bit critical about it in cases where it gets weird, like age/established sexualities. But for the most part, go nuts peeps, have fun!
I personally dont like self-inserts, but they are 100% not a problem. Why would anyone bully someone just for an oc...
i rlly cant understand whats wrong with self inserts...like, theres nothing morally wrong with it
ive been making self-inserts since i was small and not on the internet yet(i had a HUGE imagination and wanted to be with the characters sm)
It’s four children playing in the woods. The fact that people are perverting it is sad and sick.
Unfortunately that’s just how the internet is, whenever something exists and gets even even a little bit popular, someone sexualizes it. It’s inevitable at this point, and that fact alone is repulsive.

I love yaelokre ever since the first renfaire in the philippines,, As a filipino myself, i love seeing underrated filipino artists gain popularity worldwide especially if they are THISSS good,, but somehow i'm sad these all happened for them too quickly like heck- They havent made a proper introduction to some things yet like they said in their tweet,, and already the fandom got scolded by the creator themselves. Even some fandoms got their massive peaks for a long while before stuff starts hitting the fan 😭
Yaelokre is a really awesome and nice creator,, heck i even managed to be friends with them in discord and called me a fellow plant friend for the oc i was making for myself inspired by them!! They do not deserve this kind of issue and i hope in whatever stuff that just happened, they still continue making what they love.
LUCKYY
I just discovered Yaelokre thanks to this video and quickly got into them because of my love for folk fantasy music... you're telling me they're Filipino too??? Holy crap!
THEY'RE FILIPINO??
Tbh this is starting to remind me of the gooseworx situation and how she literally had to tell her fandom to chill out. Its sad that the creator themselves have to tell mfs to chill out when they already should know this by now its like there little kids and the creator is there parent its sad really
I had no idea they were filipino and this was fun to know
ughhh it's so stressing that yaelokre's work is now compared to a "cult" and "the welcome home fandom" i'm gonna be real it's not that bad, fandom just went through the usual tiktok plague mind. not hating on you though, i'm just baffled how now liking a band with some cute characters can get you on discourse
I'm kinda sad to see the same happen to yaelokre even if I'm kinda in and out of the Fandom I don't want it to be on life support like wh :(
If you’re referring to the phrase “cult following” that phrase actually means to have a small but very dedicated fan base! Unless I’m misinformed and there’s people out there comparing it to a cult
@@no1legobatmanfan Yes, sadly there are people calling the fandom a "cult" wich made Yaelokre uncomfortable. Someone even made a video bcs people were correcting them that the fandom isn't called cult and there are alternatives like village or so, and the person said "You guys saying it isn't a cult makes it seen more like a cult"
right :
History repeats itself, even (and especially) on the internet. fandoms always have that burst in to fame phase, and like fire it slowly dies down and becomes more approachable, it's just how it is, some fandoms take longer to calm down, some are quicker but thats usually how it goes. You also have to look where you are engaging with the fandom, with tiktok it seems (from an outsider view) that things can be rather intense and often drama happens. This may not be the best example, but i've often seen fandoms that are seemingly dead in other places thriving on Tumblr, they surely aren't as big as they were but they are pretty alive there in their own little spot. You can also do your part to keep the fandom alive and happy, post your commentary, your ocs, find a nice group to engage in and go from there!
Yaelokre is so good and I just learned about it but tbh It’s so sad that they’re getting all this hate and the pro shippers are disgusting at least the real fans will stay after all the discourse if yaelokre doesn’t like the cricket system then it shouldn’t be used I think yaelokre’s music is beautiful and as I said they don’t deserve the hate
Same here I just been getting Theriens all over my for you page with one of their recent songs and I could be more happy because I get to see peoples lovely art as an artist myself. I love seeing people get along and making mask and I love their music too. It’s really fucking catchy so I’m sad to actually learn about what’s going on.
Same here!
No Offense but proshippers listen to music too so there isn't a community a proshiper wouldn't be in el oh el basically, problematic people are in every fandom
Yesss the story should not be hated on like this, I have been following them for ages and I mist say im really happy that they got happy, but its sad that , that people are using their simple story to hate on them
Same! I found them when they posted their song, Harpy Hare. The video was still low on views, but I followed them bcuz I love the art and the song she made. It's sad to see what had happened to them.
Yaelokre is a wonderful creator in my opinion. their songs and art always bring me back to old story books, those storys of small villages and their own folklore that only the people in the village will understand.
I hate how the bad side of the fandom (of any fandom really) will get so mad and upset then the main creator sets boundaries and tell people they aren't comfortable with something, then being called cringe or having fake rumors suddenly come around over a simple statement! I get some music gets popular fast and yaelokre just seems happy that they get to share their creations with others and didn't want this to become chaos.
(I dont even want to start talking about the proshipping they dont need more attention tbh)
Same… I love the art style and music, but I don’t think I’ll ever really get into the fandom.
@@TheSpiderInUrWalls yeah I touch parts of different fandom's bug never fully get tangled in the mess.
I concur with you! Their music really reminds me of AURORA's, they have a very ethereal voice too. I hope they keep pursuing their career as an artist!
Why are people hating? The creators just a person who makes songs. Why are tiktokers so overdramatic
I think the most hate is going to the fandom since some say "there the "most unproblematic fandom " and it gets ppl mad because in no way can a fandom be 100% clean because there's always gonna be some portion that's problematic noticed or not there's always something problematic somewhere if you know what i mean

I LOVE yaelokre, and I really don't understand the sudden switch up. Because one moment everyone was like "Oh, yaelokre is so cool!" or "Oh, I love yaelokre, my favorite song is _____!" but now everyone is suddenly hating on it?
I've known yaelokre before it really started getting popular - but its upsetting to see so many people suddenly bashing it. I've seen so much hate on it for what seems like no reason.
But their music is truly beautiful and I get chills every time I listen lol. You're super underrated and I love the artwork! ^^
God I feel you so much, I was so excited when I started to see more people get into something indie or niche that I love, but now seeing all the people who are being hateful and stuff just hurts :/

Exactly! Their music is really good!
ITS SOOO ANNOYING!! i see it everywhere. People switching up so fast like they're being held captive.
Wait I didn’t know they were getting hate, i just follow them through yt and insta, I think is less toxic (?) idk I don’t check comments of hateful people often
This fandom would've actually been so peaceful and welcoming towards anyone if stuff like this didn't happen in almost every single community. I just hope Yaelokre doesn't lose hope and keeps on working on this dream of theirs, because it is unfair that they're receiving so much hate and pressure just for doing what they like. Please leave Yaelokre alone.
I remember watching the music video for Harpy Hare like 3 weeks ago, and then *boom* Yaelokre suddenly got popular. Huh.

@@leaf_wing5467well, the owner of the Yaelokre OC maker is sorta problematic, he put a small pen15 as an accessory in the OC maker that's on Picrew

That’s also been my experience lol. I was so confused over the cricket thing
Same. I found Neath the Grove Is A Heart through RUclips recs and really enjoyed the music and art and listened to their other stuff and liked that too. Genuinely I had no idea there was all this shit going on. Sounds like it's all a TikTok thing??

@@FlowersOfIcetor Absolutely a TikTok thing. The people I've seen on YT are totally chill about it, many dressing up as the characters. The cosplays or the videos of people animating their OCs to Yaelokre's songs are lovely, and I don't doubt the same is happening on TikTok. But you don't see people full of hate and anger on YT making that many videos..
this is the first i’ve heard of a fandom 😭 some days im glad im not on tik tok
This is why fame sucks. Yaelokre is an extremely talented person. Not only are they a great musician, singer, and song-writer. They're also a talented storyteller, artist, animator, and performer. And at a young age too. Very few people have the kind of talent that they do, as well as the motivation to actively pursue their talents and make a living off of it. I ABSOLUTELY believe that all the love and praise they've received is deserved. I'll admit that I personally got sucked into the fandom VERY quickly. I watched one of their music videos (Heartebeast), and that was it. I was instantly hooked. I'm a huge fan of folk music, animation, cottage-core aesthetic, and fantasy media. And Yaelokre is like the perfect middle of the venn-diagram for the things I like. I spent the next 3 days watching pretty much all of their RUclips videos and Instagram stories, and downloading all of their songs on Spotify, completely sucked into the story they were telling with their characters and music. But with all of that said...when literally any fandom becomes large, there are going to be toxic people. This is just the sad truth of fame. So many talented well-meaning people who create beautiful, inspiring content, end up having toxic fandoms just because of the sheer size of the fandom. If you have a thousand chickens there are bound to be a few bad eggs. As a writer/artist myself it's part of why I'm often anxious about openly publishing anything I make. Obviously most creative people dream of the day they might "make it big", but "making it big" often comes with some big negatives too. At best it can be annoying and stressful, and at worst it can be genuinely terrifying and completely dream-crushing. So it makes me really upset to hear that there are toxic people in this fandom, and that already there are people saying they hate the fandom because of those toxic people. The content that this creator makes is so sweet, innocent, and fun. I feel like it captures the spirit of being told fairytales as a child. And their sound is so unique. I think the closest comparison that I can make is that their music kinda sounds like if AURORA and Of Monsters and Men got put in a blender. But even with that said, there is still an undeniable originality about them that sets them apart from other folk artists. I completely understand why so many people have suddenly flocked to Yaelokre, their story, and their music. But a part of me genuinely feels bad that Yaelokre has so much fame, in the sense that they're now having to unfairly experience the down-sides of it. And it isn't their fault. Some fandoms have toxic creators. This is definitely not one of them. There are just a bunch people being gross and annoying and immature, and we need to deal with those people. But I don't think Yaelokre or the fandom as a whole deserves hate, because Yaelokre is super talented and the vast majority of us fans are just here to admire that talent. I really hope this doesn't get them too upset, and that they don't let a few bad people ruin their well-deserved fame.
yaelokre is what whimsical actually looks like, i really hope they don’t get discouraged by idiots who don’t know how to let people have fun
i had no idea this was even a thing, i only listen to one song by them and its harpy hare because its a genuinly good song to me, but then i see like 50 acct suddenly pop up out of nowhere all with pfps of it from people i know have never even expressed a intrest in the music or anything. its so weird to me to thing so many people jump on and off stuff so fast. another thing like this is BNHA or MHA its a good show with good characters but people now can no longer seperate it from the fandom, i dislike the fandom of mha but i genuinly like the characters and relate to some of them mainly denki kaminari but its hard to express this without getting shit for it because of the fandom. people need to get their head on straight A SHOW AND A FANDOM ARE TWO SEPERATE THINGS not everyone who likes a show with a bad fandom are bad. theres also undertale, if you know the Undertale AU amino im so sory for you. it was so toxic, i actually got off amino completly because of it but i dont fw the FANDOM the game is cool its a great game and intresting too. people are the problem. and surprise surprise not all people are the same. get over yourselves and stop hating anyone who likes a 'cringe' show or game.
this was a great video by the way your voice is so nice :)
THIS.
I think an example of Trend hopping would be Stanley cups; people were hyping it up & acting like they got a forbidden fruit & then afterwards they started hating on the cups.
I discovered harpy hare and hartebeest a little bit before it became a big thing, really just enjoying the calm fairytale-esque songs and interesting art. Ive tended to stray away as the new fandom grows, mostly because it feels like something bad will happen as does with many fast-coming fast-ending trends or fandoms :(. It also tends to be a bit sad when every fan video only uses one song from the creator. As of now, i think there’s only about 5 songs, but the 5 are all good. I’d really appreciate seeing more videos featuring them. In short, as i read someone else here state, a lot of fans just feel fake and jump-on-the-bandwagon types. Sad thing, really, that this can all be forgotten in maybe 5 or less months.
I wish I discovered them before it became big because then I would be excited to see them get famous
The yaelokre fandom is so obsessed with being 'unproblematic' that they've literally become what they feared.
THISS
Like they’re saying “ we want yaeklore to be a safe and calm community! “ like just listen to the music. Also who gets so annoyed at people saying “ who ever sees this vid gets 500 crickets! “ like ignore it? That’s how you’re supposed to be ‘unproblematic’
Wait no I love listening to yaelokre 😭 oh also if yall like them, you would probably like fish in a birdcage, sparkbird, and Cosmo sheldrake
I love Fish Inside a Birdcage and Cosmo Sheldrake along side Yaeklore! Wriggle makes me want to jump and enter a portal to a mystery realm of weird and silly creatures, and Rule 11 (My Dream, My Addiction) is a good song for me to imagine characters in :)
Fish Inside a Birdcage songs always have the best string instruments too. I noticed this in Rule 34 (unfortunely it doesn't have an alternate title lol)
Edit: accidentally sent reply early
I would also recommend The Oh Hellos! Though they have a lot of Christian undertones, so if you aren't into that feel free to ignore :)
@@skylarjay3513 oh yeah! The Oh Hellos are really nice. I need to listen to more of their music
Cosmo Sheldrake and fish in a birdcage are amazing! personally like wriggle and drunk on pride 💪💪
I discover Bird in a birdcage and yaelorke in the same yt playlist couple months ago! Yt sometimes do a good job HAHAHS that made me also listen to the Ih Hellos again, and I appreciate a lot as a christian
I have only joined the Yaelokre fandom a couple days ago, maybe a week and a half ago. It's a super cute concept and the creator is such an amazing artist! I have not made any mutuals in this fandom except for my current friends who also like the fandom, and I encourage others to make friends with those who share interests! I've seen some people talking about how the fandom has taken other fandom's signature ideas such as the cricket system and the star on the hand-- The cricket system was an obvious Dabloon trend system, while some are upset how the star on the hand was taken from the Therian community's paw on hand for when school started. These are valid things to be upset about, honestly! It's quite sad how quickly the fandom turned sour, especially since Yaelokre has stated that they were upset with how popular it grew in such a short amount of time without them even putting out anything significant, AND about how people were disrespecting their boundaries and still are disrespecting their requests. But genuinely, I think this fandom will survive it's short fallout when the trend of liking it comes to a slow!
Unrelated, but your art is beautiful! The way you formatted the video was helpful to understand more of what was going on. Thank you for going over this topic!
bro i feel like everytime an artist gets popular, there's people in certain fandoms like pjsk who call them cringe and bad just so they could feel quirky with their music taste and call the artists and songs they like "underrated" and expects everyone to agree with them
pjsekai mentioned though!?!??!?!
majority of those pjsk fans are just making ragebait... and you're falling for it
as a MAJOR pjsk fan, i also love yaelokre so much and i cant believe my own fandom has jerks hating on their music
As a huge pjsk fan please do not associate us with those people we do not claim them as apart of the pjsk community 🙏🙏🙏‼️/lh :3
@@kagamisho it's not me who's falling for it, it's the people who watch them and spread hate based on these opinions. bc i have seen them a lot 💀
I’m sorry, A FANDOM made its own CURRENCY?!?! THATS LITERALLY SO COOL WTF?!??!
0:28 YEARS??? WHERE IS THE CONTENT IVE MISSED?????
I KNOW RIGHT
I think they used to have a TikTok
Ikr
I think theres something to be said about people continually "fandom-izing" every up and coming creator they see. This started with Welcome Home, where it was just one person's personal OC project and spiraled into an entire fandom and now there are bootleg Wally plushies selling on Temu. Personally I think fandomizing any small creator is inherently weird, you can be a fan of someone but at what point does it cross the line into the territory of now becoming possessive over someone else's work? If I posted a comic about my OCs on TikTok or something, and it blew up and people started calling themselves a part of a "fandom" relating to me and my work, I would be VERY uncomfortable. This isn't even mentioning the proshippers who Yaelokre has already had to speak about.
I just don't understand why every single new interesting piece of work has to instantly become a fandom, to me it just seems like a lot of these people wish THEY were the ones who made the original art and now want to capitalize on it. Why don't we all just calm down for a second and realize Yaelokre is ONE normal person posting their art. People upholding these "fandoms" tend to think they have some sort of claim or possessiveness over the original art and artist and that simply isn't true. Honestly I hope that the next time a small artist blows up and people start being weird that they just private all their work because y'all will get WAY too comfortable and disregard any and all boundaries if it means you get more content of your blorbos.
THISSSS😭🗣️🗣️💥👏
I think so too, and I personally hate referring to Meadowlark's enjoyers as the "fandom"😭😭😭 They (Yaelokre) has made the name Wonderfolks for anyone who love and enjoy their wonderment, and i think it's cuter (and better?) than using the word "fandom"🙈🙈❤
I only strike down shippers that are taking two characters and shipping them when they have a VERY different relationship
I accept people if they do stuff in the community or whatever it's called for that group of people if they
1. don't claim it as their own characters
2. Don't make ships that are practically impossible with the characters' relationships with each other
I will NOT support them if
1. Make NSFW stuff on a thing that isn't and the creator has stated they don't like having their work turned NSFW
@@yourlocaldrittenlover I don't care as long as it's not children, they aren't being possessive, and they aren't trying to shove it down everyones throats.
Edit: as well as not trying to invade peoples privacy... that last one is just an in general thing though.
Especially the FPE fandom, it has randomly blown up and it's now a target for brainrot but idk if any part of its fandom has ever done nsfw shipping art
i feel like it has LITERALLY been a week since yaelokre has popped off and people are already creating problems
I could sense that yaelokre was going to repeat the trendhopping cycle as soon as it got popular, im glad you made this video. So much ill get excited to join a new fandom only for it to start getting hated on, Digital circus, Welcome home, Regretevator (Specifically gnarpy) and its nice to see other people talk about it
Gnarpy's more hated on in the fandom for zir horrendous actions (mainly torturing Spud for days) but I get what you mean lol
When you say "Welcome home" are you referring to the anime/manga "Tadaima, okaeri"? 😭😭😭😭😭😭 cause omg its my comfort series-
@@minhhongnguyen2350I believe it’s in reference to the puppet horror series about Wally Darling and his neighbours
The whole Yaelokre thing just honestly reminds me of Welcome Home (like you said) because the creator just wanted to post their silly songs and ocs, only for it to blow up in popularity then go to shame once a influence of bad people came in, or people decided it was ok to do certain stuff that is NOT ok to do
Yeah, the Welcome Home fandom is kind of dying now because people aren't willing to wait for the like one person making all the content. It's sad
Im very glad you explained this i usually just listen to the songs so I was confused when I saw a post from Yaelokre discussing how they felt 💜
And ido hope yaelokre doesn't just become popular and then forgotten like other artists I've seen I genuinely enjoyed all of their songs even though I dont listen to new music often
-Juat a rando 😅
I had no idea there was a fandom, I just saw the Harpy Hare video and thought it looked cool. What a rabbit hole omg
I see what you did there
5:09 this is such a good point. For example, alfred’s playhouse is both controversial AND it’s thought to be a vent piece by the girl who made it back in newgrounds days, but now people just see it as a cartoon dog who’s got eric cartman style thoughts, and think it’s cool to idolize the mc and put him in a better light. Newer fandoms like yaelokre could not even scratch the SURFACE of “controversy”, which is why I’m so tired of people saying it’s controversial. You’re gonna have bad apples in every fandom no matter what, it all comes down to whether the artists/poster let’s it run rampant and validates the bad side of the fandom, or if they decide to put their foot down to draw a line.
any time i say "yaelokre" i gotta get my norwegian accent fr😓
It brings out my irish 😔🙏
I was here before Yaelokre got extremely popular. And watching this once lovely and peaceful fandom turn slowly toxic is so sad, all I can do is hope that once the trend hoppers leave everything will go back to normal
Same I found then on RUclips I had no idea about the TikTok fandom cause I don’t have it
I just joined a few days ago due to their song “Harpy Hare” becoming popular. I’ve been listening to their other songs and it’s so good! I definitely won’t be leaving at all.
@@GabriellaSalmeron-uq4ds hey bro, that’s what I said “trend hoppers” I’m not saying everyone that got into them from harpy hare is one
With how quickly the trends come and go now, it's probably going to be forgotten soon, which is sad because people who seem to be supportive now may leave but at least that means there will be less toxic people too
Or just cope like a normal person innit?
One important thing is that Yaelokre never actually said they hated the cricket system - that’s something the fans made up after misinterpreting the tweet that was made.
The actual tweet was Yaelokre stating they didnt like the RULES of the cricket system, that people should enjoy the fandom how they want to enjoy it. Ironically, this tweet just led to people policing others enjoyment even more. And to that ive joked that the entire reason the fandom is so big is cause you dont gotta read, only listen /j/j.
I was so nervous about where this was going, and SO relieved that it can be summarized as "Hey, don't be mean ok"
Share this everywhere! The trend hopper thing needs to stop! Yaelokre deserves more recognition and praise!
Ive been surprised of this sudden trend. Like some months ago they werent so popular. And it kinda makes me sad that yaelokre is becoming a trend, cus with most trends people just leave after a while. I never actually knew about the cricket system, and if Yaelokre doesnt support it neither should the fandom. It can really affect their work so far if there is gonna be hate, like they were just a small artist getting their amazing songs out in the world. I just hope that if something does go bad that they will still continue making music. I love all their songs and characters😊❤ and of course I want more music :>
the MHA fandom killed me, but so far yaelokre has been a joy that I've discovered. I'm glad I didn't find the fandom before the artist this time lol
When I saw the title of this video, I immediately clicked because I couldn’t agree more. I really love Yaelokre’s music but with so many trend hoppers, I don’t want people to assume I listen to them only because it’s a trend :(
I think the biggest catalyst for these issues that made it get so bad is the fact that a lot of the people in it are young, like 10-14. Kids like that don’t really have much experience in fandoms so they try to ‘protect’ it from being problematic- anyone who’s been in a lot of fandoms like me will know this is impossible. They then usually get upset when they can’t protect it, while drastically overexaggerating things like the crickets and ‘draw a star on your hand’ thing. Not that all younger fans act like this, but a vast majority do. I also found the fandom through Tiktok
TLDR little kids exaggerating things is a big issue in the fandom
This! ^^^
In my experience with fandom, as somebody who frequents "cringy/toxic" fandom, I can tell you from experience these fandoms are 99% of the time just full of children. If you made a ven-diagram with "fandoms full of children" and "fandoms considered cringy, toxic, and just generally nuclear waste" then.. I *guarantee* you, there's going to be more overlap, than not.
Yaelokore is a genuinely good artist and I love their little indie project. The trend hoppers will most likely go away soon, which will leave a space for genuine fans thankfully. I'll give it 1-2 months maximum. I just wish trend hoppers weren't so consistent in fandoms, considering that they usually leave stains on the Fandom because they sometimes do bad things which end in damaging the Fandom and media's reputation, which sucks. I hope yaelokore doesn't get discouraged by anything that happens, and continues with their project!
I have been noticing that this does happen for alot of indie media,infact. It goes popular by genuine fans - trend hoppers come in and make it popular - trend hoppers start unnecessary discourse - trendhoppers go away when they eventually get bored and start making hate posts about it. It really sucks to see so many actual good indie projects get hated on all because people want to seem trendy and cool.. People should learn to engage with media they like, and leave the media they aren't interested in alone. It's pretty simple to do
I've also noticed that trendhoppers don't understand Fandom culture either.. Ocs and self inserts are what makes media fun! I have so many ocs and self inserts myself!! And so do other people, cuz it's fun! But the trendhoppers deem that cringe and they harass people who do that. Unless there's an actual problem with the content, they shouldn't be harassed because they did something "cringy"!!
Sorry for yapping so much, lol. I get really passionate about things
This is in my opinion: Yaelokre is a very talented and creative person and its saddening that people like this on Tiktok would go out of their way to make this fandom (that I didn't know existed tbh) very toxic and unbearable, when in my opinion, isn't even that bad. I love the music that Yaelokre brings and the fanart of the fandom. And yes, it is very important to know that if you don't like something, ignore it. This also implies to other fandoms too.
I love your art! I've only recently discovered Yaelokre but it's clear that they are so talented and I seriously hope that people don't ruin their creativity with the way that they're beginning to act!
Trend hopping is so confusing to me... I was into Yaelokre for a few months before this recent influx so I'm just watching this massive group of people come and then leave almost immediately. Hopefully the wave of popularity still benefits them, their music is incredible. This keeps happening to things I like it's so weird, they get super popular and then suddenly a bunch of people hate them even though it's still the same thing
People just love to call everything cringe, the best thing you can do at this point is to not care about it and keep enjoying what you like. At least, as you said, the popularity helps the creator to keep developing their project so not everything is bad
honestly at this point i'm just convinced that the people who are responsible for yaelokre's "downfall" are just insecure and jealous of the internet discovering a new awesome, talented and unique artist and can't stand seeing someone else's success. i sadly only just discovered them recently because i'm not on tiktok, but i absolutely adore their art, ocs and music and they seem like a very sweet and genuine person. i definitely don't just see it as some random trend i will forget about in a week. hope they release more songs in spotify soon i am dying for moreeeee!!
I have absolutely been loving Yaelokre so far, but haven't been interacting with the fandom quite as much. Mostly because I think it's most active on TikTok, and I am not on TikTok, so I'm not really sure how or how not toxic this fandom is, but from what I've heard, it's definitely too early to call that because it's only been there for such a short amount of time. Great video! You deserve more attention❤
I don't think it's bad. It's the BEST FANDOM EVER! Sounds very traditional, medieval and amazing. I like this creator and its talents. It's lovely! I really support the artist/owner/musician for the effort it has gotten.🥰
Exactly people that complain are fatherless
I’ve only been aware of Yaelokre via stumbling onto their music in my RUclips recommendations and instantly loving it, and I don’t have hardly any social media presence. Honestly I just massively respect their combined visual and musical storytelling and people going the type of crazy described in this video over it just comes across as nonsensical, unnecessary, and annoying.
I have listened to their songs on loop on and off since I found them, and will continue to do so. 💖
As someone who just got into Yaelokre’s art, I am amazed by their songs and animations 💕 I don’t know much about the fandom as I don’t use TikTok anymore, but it seems to be a really peaceful and great fandom, at least compared to others
Yaelokre is so talented, and they don’t deserve all the chaotic shenanigans that some of these trend hoppers are bringing. They just want to share their stories with the world, and I hope they continue to do that, because I do love their music!
💀
I literally found it a few weeks ago due to therian posts on my yt shorts.( I myself , am not a therian but would love to have therian friends) i love the world they are building. Im 22 and honeslty i dont think ive ever seen a world ive wanted to be more apart of then hazbin. Its so peaceful feeling and reminds me of light novels i used to read as a child. Unfortunately the internet ruins alot of things especially fandoms, ive never , and i mean NEEEEVER! wanted to be in a fandom until now. So i really hope that everyone can pull there sh!t together and we can all be forest creatures living in harmony together ❤❤
I never knew that Yaelokre was having this drama but it’s entertaining… 🍿🍿🍿
yaelokre is so talented and needs to get respect because the problametic people on fandom makes her look bad and makes her get hated when its not even her fault. fandom is 50/50 half good half bad fandom and its actually unfair that good people in fandom gets hated too
There’s actually no way your so underrated
TYSM YOUR SUCH A SWEETHEART!!!
💀
The welcome home mention had me hooked immediately. I love WH & Yaelokre so much. They’re such wonderful works of creativity (I say as I look over at my Wally Darling plush).
It sucks to see bad apples ruin the bunch, but you can’t let them ruin your enjoyment of the source material or the fandom material you love.
I loved harpy hare, and planned on learning about the story and joining the community. Ill admit im a new fan, but i didnt think it was a big fandom nor had... THIS
same !! I got into it yesterday, and it inspired me to make a world based on folktales and the like. so, when I saw this video I was just terrified, I honestly hate when tiktok catches wind of niche media, most of them just hate on it for no damn reason.
Apparently the haters are allergic to ✨️creativity✨️
this reminds me a lot of what happened with sodikken a few years back, and i'm just as mad about this happening now as i was back then
people should be allowed to make art and have fun without worrying about getting hounded for it for Literally No Reason
WAIT SODDIKEN WAS GETTING BACK LASH???
Im pretty sure this whole song "Harpy Hare" was to keep people happy, or it was a story, or based off of culture, or it could be all three. Even if leave her alone! Let her live her life, she did nothing wrong, its just a person who wants to make people feel better and shes doing ehat she wants.
Yaelokre is amazing. Talented.
Oh my god I love your art! So pretty! I also LOVE Yaelokre as well and I love the art and characters!
Yaelokre is such an amazing and talented artist, they don’t deserve any of this :(
As someone who’s in the works of making something bound to have a fandom, trends shouldn’t be taken so seriously. If you wanna hop on, sure. But I feel like ppl can’t have anything new, then complain when we bring old things back
As someone who's been here to witness their rise and absolute explosion in popularity, its sad to see how the problems that slowly followed with it. Im greatful and couldn't be more happy for yaelokre and the support they've been getting but i can't help but feel bad for hoe the people both in and outside of the community have been acting towards them.
i dont understand why people feel the need to hate on something the second it randomly becomes popular, at least its gone towards real talent. nobody is asking you to like the music, but hating isnt going to fix anything.
tThankfully, I never joined the Yaelokre fandom because of its popularity. In all honestly i simply ignored them at first because I had not been interested in it. I only got caught up because of the beautiful art and wonderful music! I despised it when people immediately called it "problematic." It had just started to set its footing and I find it hypocritical and weird for people to call it that so quickly. I heavily dislike how much people jump on the hate for something new, It's damn pathetic. I get that the fandom right now is at a low point, and I can pretty much guarantee that the popularity will die down soon enough. (i doubt i'll ever be leaving since they have become one of my favorite artist) but it’s no excuse since some of these fans are actual children, I get why some find this fandom “cringe” but honestly, people who can’t find the fun in something like this; and simply defaults into bullying, is boring. Again I 100% understand why some have an issue with it, but let us grow as a fandom! Small or big.
I appreciate that you made a video, I have been a fan of Yaeklore since almost the beginning, and I didn't know why it had suddenly become so popular, I also didn't know why there was hate, I personally love Yaeklore very much since it seems original and beautiful to me, thank you new for the video
This melts my brain. I’m so glad that I’m not on any social media, because these stupid controversies and trends is just so toxic. Like I love Yaelokre, I would be happy to talk with someone about it irl. But this is ridiculous tbh.
That art you drew in this video is so good!
Yaelokre is so cool, my favorite is clementine. They don’t deserve hate. They’re art and music is amazing. The character design, it’s great, I don’t get why people hate it. :(
I will just say this: You are amaizing, Yaelokre is amaizing, everyone is amazing (except proshippers and maybe the cricket system.)
I love yaelokre, their characters and their voice is amazing. I don't care what any of these mean 8 year olds say about it, it is beautiful.
i think the problem is where the fandom took place by itself, tiktok is already a place full of drama and mess by itself so promoting your stuff in here will automatically make you susceptible to having a fandom full of drama and mess too
This is so true. I was one of the people who got interested in it before the big trends. I found their music amazing and was an instant sub!
Trend-hoppers are such annoying people. The fandoms I get into I basically never not be part of.
They deserve all the love and support.
EXACTLY, they aren’t just a trend and I love their music, Yaelokre is so creative and talented!
Edit: ALSO YASLOKRE’S MUSIC IS BASED OFF FAE FOLK LORE AND ITS AMAZINGG‼️🔥
Mentioning Penelope Scott in passing made me realize how little i get involved in music fandom because i did not know people hated her stuff when I love it
1:33 BRO PENELOPE SCOTT IS SO GOOD, PEOPLE FR HATE ON HER FOR NO REASON 😭🙏
FR
I watched the official discord go from 2k members to 27k before it got shut down because it kept getting raided and Yaelokre was super stressed about it. They’re so sweet I’ve caught a few of their insta lives and it just tries to be nice to everyone I am glad that currently the trend has died down and now it’s pretty much just the actual fans who genuinely enjoy it
as someone whose really gotten into thier music i didnt even know thier was like a actual fandom just fans of thier music and lore and some people who made ocs. it was only recently i knew there was a discord i think there isnt actual problems in the fandom itself i think thats just a tiktok related issue and tiktok isnt everything the youtube, instagram and discord community as far as im aware are pretty clean and just people who genuinely enjoy thier music ect. so basically i feel tiktok should be ignored at this point when it comes to fandoms tiktok is like the twitter of fandoms and communities.
I found their music justvtoday, showed it to my family. Me, my dad and stepmumm love its music
i am not terminally online enough for yaelokre discourse
Thank you very much for talking about this situation I’ve been following yaelorker since late 2023 and early 2024 on Facebook so before everything blew up and for the most part, the fandom was kind of hidden away for a while until things blew up and if I’m gonna be honest, I enjoyed it that way a little bit better yes, I do like seeing a bunch of the art people make, and everybody coming together and enjoying their music but there as well but at the same time, it definitely made things a bit more difficult and has changed a lot of things and how the fandom maneuvers if you genuinely don’t like music or don’t like whatever you don’t like about yealorker you can simply just scroll also just to point out on every social media app. There is a button that you can press that is called not interested and you won’t get recommended those type of videos or slideshows as for the cricket system be mature about it. It’s simply something to use as a little silly gesture you can do online. There’s no need to push it and no need to get so upset about it if we don’t want the fandom to die out then we need to do better. We don’t wanna end up like welcome home.
im rlly hoping for tiktok's downfall. im so glad i left the platform before it got worse by ppl bullying, being racist, and other disgusting things to other people. they would literally judge EVERYTHING...
OMG SAMMEEE
Honestly didn’t know that the Yaelokre fandom was like this, I just really like the music and the artist!
my main issue with the fandom was after yaelokre stated their dislike for the cricket system, the older fans started making rules that hindered creativity and judging the minors in the fandom for enjoying a media they enjoy. Yaelokre said we have no right to tell someone how to enjoy a media, and it was like people did the exact opposite. Its not just the cricket system. It was heart breaking to see a post from someone saying they were scared to make an oc because they saw someone saying its against yaelokres wishes, not to mention some fans are scared to make headcanons.
My point is, after yaelokre spoke out about the sudden rise in the fandom and the issues that came with it, people jumped immediately into making rules and judging how people enjoy the media, scaring away fans who wanted to participate in the fandom. It seemed like everyone ignored "-and none of you have the right to say nor inform others how to enjoy a piece of media, especially one built upon childlike wonder."
People need to calm down
It’s a fun creation that you can see has a worlds worth of effort put into it!
The creator is incredibly skilled, people should acknowledge that instead of trying to be unique by pretending not to like Yarlokre just because it’s popular.
It’s fine if it’s genuinely just not their thing and they’re not hating, but people who actively hate and support hate towards the project are not okay. Rather, their behaviour is not okay.
I HATE when something gets poupular for like a week or two and then everyone suddenly decides that its cringy and hate the people who still like it, it really needs to stop. Its happened so many times😭
Penelope scott is my favorite artist i dont understand how people would just hate on her
Every time I see these baby fandom people who are just starting out in fandom culture talk about how things are “cringe” and “toxic” it makes me laugh so hard bc they would die like a Victorian child if they knew what the Homestuck or Hetalia fandoms were like. I was in the TRENCHES back in my middle school 😂😂I love those kids just starting in fandom but man they have no idea what old fandom was like on tumblr
It's scary how fast all of this happened! I knew of Yaelokre WAYYY before getting popular (friend of a friend). I remember waiting for Harpy Hare to release and begging everyone I knew to give it a listen because of how criminally underrated it was! Now I'm seeing people with profile pictures of the Harkers and running into fans in the wild? I'm happy they're finally getting their work recognized, but I hope all the "drama" around the community settles down soon. I've only chatted with them a few times online, but they're genuinely one of the nicest people I've talked to before, and to see all this toxicity around them is just sad.
For the point, people are problematic when they saw a song of animation, they don't understand of the song and making a oc, I love those clothes design and creative the songs, I always play it during school and after school
Those people need to learn and listen and understand it before they getting an act, which is stupid when someone people judge some amazing song "happy hare" 😮💨
I WOULD NEVER TRENDHOP YAELOKRE i am a huge fan and i hope yaelokre will stay together and things will work out! :))
one issue i take with this video is that proshipper is a very broad term which you have used to describe a tiny group of people. a proshipper is exactly what it sounds like: someone who believes in shipping what you want to see and ignoring what you don't. for instance, the mha fandom is notorious for being extremely hostile to anyone who ships something other than what the community sees as right. a proshipper dislikes this.
and yes, being a proshipper also (usually, if you're not a hypocrite) includes taboo topics, but only a very very small group of them mean harm and are actually bad people. lots of people make art about minors to cope with their own trauma, for instance, or write about dark topics to contrast an otherwise wholesole fandom. this is also proshipping.
I used the term the most people would understand :>
@@JuniDrawz i get that, but i don't think it's right to essentially call thousands of people pedos because explaining the nuance of the term is too time consuming.
@@headofathousandsheepswool i mean, you are getting off to drawings of kids either way. you're an adult attracted to drawings of kids, or you support adults attracted to drawing of kids
@@circus4796 okay man, you just didn't listen to anything i said. i said that's not what it is 99.9% of the time. there are so many reasons you could consume or create that kind of content that don't involve you being a horrible person. you could be a minor yourself. you could be engaging with fandoms you liked when you were younger, and since fictional characters don't age, you're stuck with kids unless you age them up (which many people do, but they still get called predators for it). you could, like i said, be dealing with trauma. none of that involves you beating it to underage smut. to put all of that under the umbrella of "you just wanna see kids having sex because it arouses you" is very shortsighted.
@@circus4796 okay man, i literally said that it's not that 99.9% of the time. there are so many reasons why you would consume or create that kind of content that don't involve you being a bad person. you could be a minor yourself. you could be reconnecting with fandoms you liked when you were younger. you could, like i said, be dealing with trauma. none of that involves you getting off on kids, and i think sweeping all that under that one umbrella is shortsighted and erases a wide range of experiences that might diversify a community. no one complained about the characters in harry potter being minors when you wrote stuff about them, for instance, because this kind of purity culture is a new thing.
