This is mostly just a random thought but I’m very passionate about the subject:
I can understand and respect if you are someone who doesn’t enjoy sexual or otherwise explicit material. I get if you don’t want to see or hear about it. That’s fine.
But if you use someone’s nsfw content (smutty fanfiction, erotic art) as an example of why they’re The Worst or why they should be mocked or disregarded, you need to stop. That’s shitty and mean and none of your business and often completely irrelevant to the discussion.
I don’t see it often but I see it enough where I feel it’s worth pointing out; please don’t do this.
this might be it, or at least close. it was on a mspaforum around the time terezi was introduced, since people were talking about “the new troll” and posting pictures of her. im a bit thrown off by the casual usage of the term “fantroll”, but this may also be when it was first coined
UPDATE: after some serious snoopin around, google has forced me to prove im not a robot by submitting a captcha. despite that drawback, as far as i can tell, there were no instances of the word “fantroll” in reference to homestuck before that little dude up there. ill continue my search
UPDATE: there were no mentions of the term “fantroll” before 03/03/10 on tumblr or deviantart
That’s what someone thought the troll who would turn out to be Feferi would be. I don’t think he counts.
BUSTED
I’m guessing that the first fantroll would be Doctor Tess’s troll, since she was the one who started the craze on the MSPA forums. Problem is, I don’t know her name.
tess just started the “fantroll index” forum or whatever, i think? either way
theres some weird corruption on the earlier posts. i doubt she made that post in 1970 lmao
(also i can’t access that fourm. if you can, tell me?)
