I have been apart of the Danny Phantom fandom since it was airing on TV, I love it with a burning passion and probably always will- and not to be a jerk but it’s annoying as hell that half of the fandom content is DC crossover stuff now. I’m pretty sure you have your own tag, stop tagging the main fandom tag- which to be clear, is “Danny Phantom.” It’s not a character tag, it’s a fandom tag, stop clogging it.
DC/DP is basically its own fandom now, if people wanted to find it they know it’s there. There’s no way for me to block it, Tumblr still pops up with an annoying banner that tells me something is there I don’t want to be reminded of every ten seconds. And even then, why is it that I have to filter content for my own fandom?
When I click on the Danny Phantom tag I’m expecting to see Skulker, or Johnny 13, or Young Blood, or other Danny Phantom world content or lore- do y’all even bother with that or do you just see Danny as a pre made ghost OC? Cause you can just do that and not tag an entire other fandom. I want Danny Phantom shit based around the Danny Phantom Universe with Danny Phantom characters.
This was not here to this degree four years ago, what the heck happened?
I say this as a member of my college Comic Book Club- I Love DC. I absolutely adore DC- In fact I like to go to the DC part of Tumblr for DC stuff and I am currently reading Batman comics- Why am I getting posts about it in my Danny Phantom fandom? Half the time you are tagging content which doesn’t even have Danny in it at all and you just automatically associate the Bat Family with the Danny Phantom tag because that’s your obsession.
I get it, you can love crossovers, that’s great. So do I- tag it right. Stop using the main fandom tag. Crossovers are okay in moderation, like sprinkles on ice cream— the topping should not be swallowing the entire meal. I should not walk in and be served an entire bowl of sprinkles and asked ‘would you like some ice cream with that?’ Like, Yeah obviously, I came for the ice cream, not sure why you assume I wanted some other random thing.
“Hi, can I order a bean burrito?”
“One deluxe hamburger coming right up.”
“That’s not even remotely what I asked for or what’s on the menu.”
You need to understand this is not a normal case or I wouldn’t even say anything. This isn’t some cute crossover that passes every once in a while and can be tagged as all the fandoms involved for visibility- you are literally swallowing up the fandom. We know you are there, please, please stop. Do not give me the blocking lecture, in fact I have already blocked you; Probably hundreds of other people already have, and if anything you’re just pissing off Danny Phantom fans who otherwise might enjoy seeing your content every once in a while when it’s relevant or when they look for it. There are a lot of DpDc fans with cool art I wouldn’t mind seeing if I’m curious, but now I’m just blanket pissed by anything popping up in my feed that should not be there.
How did we get here? I’ll even do you a favor and not tag this as DPxDC because I think it’s rude to bombard another fandom with content they probably don’t want to see. You should try it.
I’d say this goes for other fandoms as well, but to be frank seeing one post in a thousand about a crossover idea isn’t nearly the same as every other post.
