Today marks 10 years since I first joined this website.
I've been on the internet for an entire decade. Holy fucking shit.
Online communities have changed so much since then...I miss the times when social justice wasn't dragged into fucking everything. We were just kids who loved Japanese culture and laughed at simple things.
Damn it, I can't believe I'm nostalgic for my weeaboo days.

Art categories are gone. Why
You know how DA has had categories for art like digital paintings, photography, 3D models, etc since the site's inception? Well that's all gone now, for submission and search. So for example you can't filter for "literature" to search for just writing. Jesus fuck this is a terrible idea. It doesn't make things more simple, it makes them more cluttered. The reasoning is probably "other sites where people post art don't filter by category"; yeah and those places (like tumblr and twitter) are terrible for hosting art, I come here BECAUSE it's not like other social media. They better fix this shit soon because it's a goddamn mess now.

Remember Bionicle? That Lego line about robots with elemental powers living on a tropical island? The original run lasted from 2001-2010. The fanbase persisted through the 5 year hiatus because they were just that passionate, and also because there really isn’t anything else to fill that niche.
Lego rebooted it in 2015, but it was barely promoted or advertised at all, to the point that many Bionicle fans still don’t know it happened.
Not like it mattered though, because the reboot was a dumbed down piece of crap. It tanked so hard that Lego ended the line early (the story was planned to run 3 years) and the last wave of sets weren
Fanart, Copyright Law, and You
(reposted from my tumblr to spread awareness)
Fans on the internet are some of the most passionate and dedicated people I’ve met. There’s lots of fan work being churned out every day. And even if we don’t make fanart ourselves, we share and reblog the works of others.
If you are a creator, and more specifically a fandom creator, being aware of copyright law is extremely important.
Parodies are generally permitted under copyright law, but what exactly constitutes a parody isn’t always clear-cut. Copyright laws also vary by country. A work that is public domain in one country may still be under copyright in another.
