    I would be ashamed of the Dragonball Z fandom, but I can’t speak Spanish so it could all be completely profound for all I know.

    This is how I felt looking at the fandom for the game Dispatch.

    So much porn. I expected some, but was very surprised.

      “oh! i’m excited to discuss the themes of this manga, how the world and conflicts reflect our own, and how this advocates for a political framework centered around eroding authoritarianism by helping our friends”

      “the asexual and the lesbian should fuck”

      “…”

      “it’s not that deep”

    “Head Canon”
