I wish I could find this fic still, but I legitimately don't remember anything about its title/summary/tags except that it was a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fic. It was a very obviously transparent autogynephilia fetish fic - the faggy alien (Garak) put on some lipstick and got so turned on by it he sucked someone's dick. He even got called a good girl and shit iirc
It was unironically presented as the alien in question exploring his gender and being "transfeminine". Like the author seemed completely, genuinely unaware how obvious it was that it was a fetish fic.

I don't even know if it's still up.

Do you have a way of seeing all the ArcaneFans3Gaza fics? Posted on the twitter account, I guess? I wanna know how many of them are gay or trans fics, because that's fucking hilarious. Yeah, I'm sure Hamas really appreciates the $800 raised via porn of people they throw off rooftops in real life.
I can't give an exact number, but it isn't a lot. It maybe under a hundred, at best. Larger fandoms will have more dedicated to it, but I'll have to double check. $800 in two weeks when guys like Charlie can get that in twenty minutes is unimpressive.
Btw, how popular is that particular trans headcanon that it allegedly had a character designer comment on it? I mean I obviously don't believe that actually happened otherwise they'd be rushing to name names like you're supposed to know on sight who that is, but is it popular enough that it seems plausible at first glance that the headcanon would get a response from soneone who worked on the game?
So, I tried finding the source of that quote. The name of that character designer wasn't given; it was one line on a wiki dedicated to "queercoding" characters. It simply stated one character designer approved the pooner headcanon of Viktor. You'd think a comment would be backed by tags or even spur Twitter discourse.

Currently, there are about 421 pooner Viktor fics. Of them, a majority are written by about a dozen or so authors (some of whom are listed above). Arcane has around 17k fics; the largest pairing is Cait/Vi. Viktor/Jayce is around 2800, of which 400 of those are pooner fics, as mentioned above.

Unless something is explicitly said or confirmed, or another Kiwi could find it, I don't know who made that trans Viktor comment.
 
I thought it was the likes of Naruto, Sonic, Star Wars or BNHA that brings them out. Not familiar with Supernatural. Ship-crossovering with Vocaloid still sounds absolutely insane, though.
Supernatural built up a huge, rabid, and frankly unhinged shipping fanbase over the course of its run, generally pairing the two brothers with each other or their angel friend. They were part of the so-called Superwholock crossover fandom cancer that overran fanfic sites and Tumblr for a few years around 2012-2015 before the embarrassment that was Dashcon and the general cringey vibe of the whole thing caused it to implode like the OceanGate sub.
 
Just stumbled into this thread, have not read it yet, so this recommended horror has probably already been discussed.

I am a treky nerd, you want to see horror watch Star Trek Hidden Frontier Fan Series, From Helena, Odyssey, and Hidden frontier. The Cgi is ok, the atmosphere for a fan film and plots are ok too. Its the extreme levels of Faggotry that make it horrific

I Have watched it all and I am scarred for life. . . . .

While there are some fandoms that seem to generate more insanity, I think a big part of it is how many years the canon has been running/publishing. If your property has been going for 10 years, that's a lot of time to get weird, and a lot of fans to create critical mass for someone eventually writing a Care Bear crossover.

This also applies for a fandom that's really old, but hasn't had new canon in decades. Look at The Sentinel, which in fandom is really the proto-Omegaverse (has anyone else posited this?). Continuing to use that as an example, not the show but its fandom was so impactful that writing your fandom's characters into that dynamic wasn't seen as a Sentinel crossover, but a Sentinel AU, the same as you might see a coffee shop AU.

In really large fandoms you'd think there would be more weird stuff too, because a huge fandom would have the equivalent of 10 years of fan-hours, but it takes time for the individual fan who ends up writing or drawing the weird thing to get weird. Can't force-mature that. Although sometimes you get mass cultural transfusions, like how a bunch of the hornier Resident Evil ladies and pooners recently jumped ship to Call of Duty en masse. CoD is also an older franchise, but I don't know of a good example of people bringing inordinate depth of experience into a newer franchise, although it does happen.

Maybe the odd situation where people who got really into Hannibal decided that they would just write fanfiction with any of the lead actors' characters as though they were all in the same expanded universe. Not RPF of the actors, but crossovers where Mads Mikkelsen's "Nigel" from Charlie Countryman gets together with Hugh Dancy's "Adam" from the film of the same name, because it's the same actors who were shipped together in Hannibal, which is something I hadn't seen before and also ended up involving Death Stranding.

The Hannibal expanded universe is such a unique phenomenon; it's like fanfiction degrees of Kevin Bacon. The equivalent would be if you and your friends really liked the period drama A Single Man. Because George and Kenny have chemistry and they're played by Colin Firth and Nicholas Hoult, respectively, you are now going to write a story where King George VI's boyfriend is Warboy Nux.

I think it's just the sheer size of the fandom that plays a part sometimes. If everyone and their mother is into something, there's a good chance the crazies will be into it too.
Speaking of Sonic:

Here we go, mates. The vaunted, 75k word seahorse pregnancy pooner Viktor fic. Now, I won't be posting all of it; like the BlueLunaMoth fic, I will be posting it in installments. As always, you can follow along or skip uninteresting bits in the spoilers. Link to fic. Archive.

Background: as stated, the author of this fic is a disabled pooner who also happens to be a 'seahorse dad'. She is writing this story from her experiences.

> Be geniuses in your field, completely changing robotics and transforming your city into a powerhouse for years to come
> Lose to an unknown high schooler (maybe Jinx?) at a local science fair (?)
> Typical

Of course, it you wanted it to be grand, it'd have to be a convention like the one Nikola Tesla was known to frequent. Those aren't just science fairs; you get to showcase your inventions. They're exciting and filled with actual drama. This just makes it seem childish.

As for Jayce not liking posh snobs...that's only for his Arcane version. He's happy taking their money, though.
seahorse holiday 2.PNG
Turns out Jayce has a fear of driving in the snow because his dad died. He also has random bits of anxiety and panic attacks because of course he does; this is just the author projecting her issues onto him. Jayce is actually a pretty easy going character. Only time he seemed anxious was when he had to kill a kid.
seahorse holiday 3.PNG
You get the impression everyone knows Viktor is pregnant, but they're also trying to treat him as a man or don't know he's actually a woman, so it creates this back-and-forth that is supposed to be surprising to the viewer. To those in the know, it isn't surprising because testosterone is not birth control.

seahorse holiday 4.PNG
Here's some autism speaks: Viktor is canonically 5'8 as a human. He's of perfectly normal male height. Jayce is 6'1. I do not know why they always make Viktor the wee pooner when, again, he's of the average height for an adult white male. Pooners are known to be 5'4 and under, so this gives the impression he's impossibly tiny next to the actual male. Second, all of these pooner pregnancy fics don't seem to take into consideration that being as thin as Viktor is more likely to cause a miscarriage. He has next to no body fat. He can't even sustain his own body, let alone a fetus. I'd just love for one of these idiotic pooners to do research for once.
seahorse holiday 5.PNG
Petit brings to mind 5'2 or below. 5'8 is not petit. Indeed, under a quick Google search, being petite is being 5'4 and under. This pooner decided the 'low body weight' applied, when other terms for underweight male bodies exist.

We also find out Jayce was a former alcoholic, and is basically being taunted with all the alcohol around him. He's basically told to drink it or else. Second, ginger ale is pretty fucking good if you have an upset stomach. If not that, ginger tea. Jayce raising an eyebrow at Viktor not drinking when he himself gets withdrawal is pretty funny, if you ask me.
seahorse holiday 6.PNG
Nothing like taunting your son with a bunch of alcohol at a party you couldn't afford to miss, and instead of drinking tea or calmly saying you cannot drink, you have a mental breakdown anyways. I'd understand if this was a fresh addict going into recovery, but we get the impression Jayce has stopped drinking for some time. In any case, I am sure that in later chapters that we will surely get all the angst clichés fics like these can offer.
seahorse holiday 7.PNG
Autism speaks again: there is nothing wrong with giving cash to people at holidays or other events. Asian families will often give you envelopes of fresh bills. In fact, most adults would actually prefer cash because you can buy whatever you want with it, vs a gift you will not enjoy.

Plus, that sentence confused the fuck out of me. "Even while being given an assigned name, the giver did not always know about the recipient." So...a secret Santa. And you know the solution to not knowing someone's preferred tastes? Giving them cash. Which the broke-ass pooner thinks is rude.

I am once again pointing to the sign that Viktor is of normal male height. Stop making him smaller, dammit!

You're totally not going to believe what happens next. Going at a snail's pace, these two get into a car accident after a car runs a red light. On icy roads no doubt, where drivers are told to take extra precautions...but whatever.
seahorse cough.PNG
> Vomits up blood
> Jayce sees it and thinks it's fine, does not ask questions
> Even his own mother isn't concerned

I don't know about you, but the minute someone vomits up blood I'm taking them to the hospital. No matter how hard they resist.
seahorse cough 2.PNG
How manly. Real men just wear whatever. In any case, Jayce's mother dies in the first chapter with all that car crash foreshadowing, likely throwing him into his addiction again while Viktor struggles with his pregnancy. Calling it now.
seahorse cough 3.PNG
Yes, and that's not a sign you aren't pregnant. I guess Jayce didn't think ejaculating into that man's vagina wouldn't impregnate him, eh? Just a happy accident. It's just a bit of blood bro.
seahorse cough 4.PNG
And there you have it: a disabled pooner is going to tell us about her pregnancy while lecturing us on who gets pregnant. Delightful. Don't worry, I'll at least make it funny.

seahorse hospital.PNG
Sheesh, she didn't even bother to finish stitching him up. What a shitty nurse. And the doctor has the nerve to stand there and watch him bleed, lmao.
seahorse hospital 2.PNG
So! In the previous chapter, it is clearly written Jayce saw and heard his mother take her last breath/exhale a death rattle. This is a pretty important detail as it was something he recalled before disassociating. Yet here, he conveniently forgets it. A simple line mentioning it would have made the agony more hard hitting, because he actually saw her die. As for Viktor, the doctor doesn't mention he's preggers (I assume it'll be in the next paragraph) and doesn't address the blood in the bile. You'd think that would be brought up, but no.
seahorse hospital 3.PNG
So. There was no mention or discussion of Viktor's other ailments during his stay in the hospital. They'd run a blood test and they'd know that Viktor was pregnant, even if he 'passes' as a male. I guess we're forgetting the bloody vomit, eh?
seahorse hospital 4.PNG
seahorse hospital 5.PNG
That's how you get foot fungus, no joke. Also, didn't he dry himself at least two times already, with two different towels? He didn't wipe his feet on the floor mat? Do they even have one? Silly rich people.

Now, I guarantee you this mention of them being very well-to-do will be forgotten in later chapters, especially as it pertains to Viktor's transition. We haven't gotten to the ins and outs of that yet, but it'll come eventually.
seahorse hospital 6.PNG
Ah, the white picket fence dream. Oddly enough, no conversation about the intricacies of testosterone and how your newborn fetus is going to be affected. Because trans men are loving fathers.
seahorse hospital 7.PNG
This takes place in the modern era, so of course Viktor is on all sorts of SSRIs and pain medications. Despite the swelling in his fingers, he doesn't think to change his meds or use his education to lobby for better medicine; that would actually involve using his intelligence. He's also on SSRIs like every other troon, so it makes sense when you think about it in perspective. Oh, he's also on all these meds despite being pregnant. Which, at this point, hasn't been diagnosed despite him being in the hospital.

Also, pooners having meltdowns every five minutes? Say it ain't so.

> Hates being viewed as weaker due to his disabilities
> Has actively done nothing to disavow people of that notion he's a useless fuck
> Has done nothing but vomited and get into accidents
> Is moody and his husband doesn't know why
> Just pooner things

Gotta love the Mel Medarda bashing. Black Lives Matter, yo.
seahorse funeral 2.PNG
seahorse funeral 3.PNG
Jayce is getting mad at Viktor over a funeral he didn't even plan. Recall just a paragraph earlier that it was Cassandra who was left to do all of the planning because he couldn't stomach it. Him acting appalled at an event he had no control over is rather on the nose. Maybe you should plan your mother's funeral next time, eh?
seahorse funeral 4.PNG
I'm sure drinking will be a prominent motif in this fic, harking back to his dark days and all the horrors of addiction. Or maybe not; maybe it's a red herring. Anything is possible.
seahorse funeral 5.PNG
And that's it for chapter two: one long sorrowful dialogue on a woman whose funeral Jayce didn't even plan. That's quite the unintended insult for someone you love, even more so than the flowers you got from an embittered black ex. I bet it gets to bad he's tempted to call Mel a slur, lmao.

This is the chapter where we finally get to the seahorse pregnancy plot.
seahorse cleanup.PNG
I get that Jayce has been through a depression arc, but it's also a tad bit revealing when you have a filthy house run by people who want to perform masculinity yet cannot clean. Jayce is rich enough to hire a maid, but he doesn't; Viktor, the True and Honest man, can't do basic chores because he is too disabled and swollen to do so. Jayce tries to be the malewife and fails; learn how to use a vacuum first, bud.
seahorse cleanup 2.PNG
Shocker: it's a pair of baby booties, because Jayce is now just figuring out Viktor is pregnant, when the doctor would have told him in the first place when Viktor was in the hospital after the car crash. Because, you know, reasons.
seahorse cleanup 3.PNG
seahorse cleanup 4.PNG
> Fucks your 'husband' who has a vagina without protection
> He gets pregnant
> Act confused
> Just pooner things

Again, Jayce would've figured it out after the car crash. He would've found out the due date too. He is Viktor's husband and loved one, so there would not have been a legal barrier to telling him.
seahorse cleanup 5.PNG
I wonder what language is going to be used for pooner Viktor during his pregnancy? We all know it's not going to be 'mother'. That's too triggering.
seahorse cleanup 6.PNG
> Be a True and Honest Man
> Get pregnant
> Have to go to other women to talk about 'female issues'
> Doesn't understand the inherent contradiction
> Just pooner things
seahorse cleanup 7.PNG
Notice how Jayce is called a father, not a sperm donor. Because men get to keep all the sex-based terms for themselves; women are the ones who need to change. Also note how angry Jayce got at a random pregnant woman after congratulating him and his 'wife'; how dare that transphobe assume that only women get pregnant. Of course he has the urge to go and correct her for her disgusting transphobia; only women need to go through that. Not men.

If you're getting a nose bleed from flowers, and vomiting up blood, please see a doctor. You've got the money.
seahorse cleanup 8.PNG
> Be a true and honest man
> Buy pink flowers for your pooner husband
> Have an urge to lecture others on misgendering
> Immediately assume there are only two sexes in fetuses and know which one is male or female
> Just tranny things

Viktor is already being painted poorly, just not for traditional reasons. What's his reason for being there other than being pregnant?
seahorse cleanup 9.PNG
Sounds fetishistic. Jayce has done his research on pregnancy, yet never thought that Viktor's weight would not bode well for a developing fetus. He's sickly thin. Unless he gained weight (and it's doubtful) the higher the chance of miscarriage is. I don't know how far alone Viktor is. I assume he's in the second trimester by now.
seahorse cleanup 10.PNG
Raw fish is iffy because of the risk of food poisoning, but you not knowing your pooner husband is pregnant after a car accident is sus. C'mon man. You'd have known by now.
seahorse drama.PNG
He's worried about fresh deli meat - that has an expiration date - and instead gives his 'much loved husband' processed candies that are loaded with sugar that can break your teeth and give you cavities. The fucking irony. Let the man have his salt; pregnancy involves cravings and that is because the fetus is leeching nutrients from you. Best thing about deli meats is that you can see and smell when they start to go bad. Maybe Jayce should focus on LOW SUGAR foods instead, eh?
seahorse drama 2.PNG
Nice job by the beta, there.

Remember when Viktor refused to drink ginger ale because he didn't want a carbonated drink? Pepperidge farm remembers.
seahorse drama 3.PNG
I already found Viktor annoying; you're just hammering it home with the moodiness. Yes, yes, pregnancy hormones and whatnot. He can still choke on a dick. There was blood in his vomit, ffs. And there's been no mention of that since, btw. It's like those health conditions don't matter, but the pain medications do - THAT HE IS STILL ON, WHILE BEING PREGNANT. A lot of those medications are dangerous for a developing fetus! But hey, it's okay because he's a SEAHORSE DAD. He's special.
seahorse drama 4.PNG
He loves them so much he never realized Viktor was pregnant even when he should have been told during the hospital event. I am not getting over that; that's a major thing to miss. This is just a stupid pregnancy story with added gender bullshit in the mix; it's going to get way worse before it even gets funnier.

A fan of the story wonders if Jayce will become a rapist:
JESUS.PNG
Well, if he does...it'll just get more hate from me.
 
WHAT.jpg

Judging by the tags alone, this is probably the biggest, most horrifying fic trainwreck I've ever seen. The fact that it's RPF and is tagged with "Underage Sex" is fucking terrifying, but upon further inspection it seems the fandom and ship tags are mismatched - Jake Neighbours and Scott Perunovich are hockey players, no clue what that has to do with The Whitest Kids U' Know, the ponies are an even bigger mystery. Not sure who Nikki, Jason, Billy and Mark are either (characters from the sketches?). Normally I'd read something as bizarre as this just to see if it's a troll fic but this just sounds straight up illegal.
 
fwiw, the tag "Consensual Underage Sex" or combining "Underage Sex" and "Consensual Sex" usually means the fic is about two underage characters, e.g., the teenage leads of a given YA novel or high school drama show, having sex with each other. You don't usually see them together if the pairing is a character under 18 being shipped a character over 18. Of course this could vary from fandom to fandom and I could be talking out of my ass, but personally I have seen people leave comments on "Underage Consensual Sex" fics where the ship is under-18/over-18 telling the author that they shouldn't use that tag.
It's not AO3 policy, though. The only tags on AO3 that have objective meaning are the archive warning tags (Major Character Death, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Underage, and Rape/Non-Con), by which I mean those are the only tags that you can report a fic for if they misuse them. (And even then, if a fic includes any of that content but doesn't have the tag for it, it's only against site rules if the tag used is "No Archive Warnings Apply".)
 
"Underage Sex"
"Extremely Underage"
"Consensual Sex"

... yeah no, that's not how this shit works.

"JD Vance is weird."
 
AO3 user centreoftheselights has posted data on the demographics of AO3. They're recent and offer a good look into who writes fanfic - and why it may seem more politicized now than ten or so years ago.

In terms of general trans identity/gender self-identification:
queer dominance.PNG
queer dominance 2.PNG
Of course, of those identifying as trans, the majority of them are pooners. The data posits that only around 5% of all fanfic writers are male.
gender identity.PNG
They later reference the Williams Institute, and get their own figures wrong:
trans data.PNG
From the data itself, highlighted by me:
trans data 2.PNG
They used some of the higher state-by-state estimate for their data point:
trans data 3.PNG
In terms of gender categories, those are listed below:
gender category.PNG
There are very few transwomen on AO3, and a decent helping of trans men. However, we all know these enbies are really just white girls, so they will be counted as female.

On general stats and the explosive growth of troons writing fanfic:

To no one's surprise, fanfiction has always been and remains a whites-only affair.

On those who DID NOT pick white, this was the breakdown by race:

On romantic/sexual orientation. They are considered separate by the data, just cause.

Now for the best part. How many fanfic authors are disabled?
disabled demographics.PNG
disabled demographics 2.PNG
In sum: the bulk of fanfic authors are autistic/ADHD 'asexuals'/biromantics/bisexuals who are overwhelmingly white. Despite China having the largest base of Internet users, and AO3 being accessible through VPNs, Asian ladies are not making a heavy dent in the market. White autists continue to dominate; one could say there's a white autist supremacy problem.

If you are wondering, like me, whether there has been an increase in weird gender shit over the years, and why authors seem so anal over receiving any bit of criticism - no, you are not paranoid, and this is why. They are mentally incapable of 'reading the room', and are generally in their own bubble. Note that the explosion happened after 2015, when tumblr starting promoting all of these gender terms. We now have to content with these adults and their ramblings, despite that 'oh they'll get over it once they enter the real world' cope.

While one can say on trivial matters such as smut getting better (no really, it used to be really fucking bad), and the general writing improving on AO3, the general stories and personal leanings of these authors has gotten really mediocre. I suppose it depends on the fandom if you want fact-based autists, but the majority of those are the ones that are unbelievably irritating.

Given that AO3's userbase is full of tumblrinas, there's a chance that a lot of the people who claim to have ADHD, autism and other mental illnesses are just self-diagnosed. IIRC, the inability to take criticism was a thing even in the FanFiction.net days (or maybe fanfic has always been an autistic hobby?).

I also call bullshit on all the people claiming to be bi/pan, M/M ships far outnumber F/F (and even F/M for that matter), AO3's userbase clearly prefers men to women:
