>even knowing about thomas the tank engine "fandom"
just embarrassing OP
I haven't paid attention to the Thomas fandom since the diversity reboot. What happened.
this was set in "my town"
What?
>not paying attention to obscure kids shows fandoms for shits and giggles
the best was the scary godmother wiki RIP
He united thousands, he divided millions.
Um, go on what happened?
It's not our job to explain stuff to you, newfag.
Theres the old school fans who are simply just nostalgic for the tv adaptation of the childrens books aka season 1-4 that used those cool train models. Then there are the autists who still watch the show after it became a toy commerical
The seasons that were narrated by Alec Baldwin are the true definition of ‘comfy’.
Hands down the most horrible,disgusting fandom I was ever. Like,this is so fractured and crazy. If you ever even have the slightest interest in Ben 10, do me a favor and NEVER get involved in the fandom. Leaving the Ben 10 fandom almost felt like escaping a religious cult.
Who the fuck even likes this so much as to make a fandom? I mean I'm a huge trainfag too but putting faces on things is dumb. It's fucking Cars-tier.
Nice gets. Can you give some examples of what happened?
Different strokes, autism, etc.
no
I love Kingdom Hearts but the fanbase is retarded. KH3 was good.
The pokemon fandom is batshit insane
No one ever mentions the Arthur fandom. This knowledge is a burden I must carry alone
For what? Calling out GAmefreak. If anything the only batshit insane fans are the apologists and shills.
Fujos ruined it
Delete this.
What happened? When Edd was alive eddsworld was funny.
Strangely enough
Autistic kids and nostalgia. And Rev W Awdry wrote these stories for his son when he was bed ridden as a kid. Awdry was also a big train enthusiast and had great love and respect for british steam which felt alive unlike diesels. His stories were comfy unlike the toy commercial it is today.
Niggers like you is why this site is dying boomer gramps
>not loving both diesels and steam
he seems like a huge faggot
>in fact of course
Diesels are souless
See?
Fuck off shill. Go enjoy SWOSHISI while licking Masuda's nip cock
>ever accepting d*Eselshit
Thanks for reminding me why I don't like discussing trains online. You're all pretentious faggots. Unlike you, I grew up watching trains, so all trains, diesel or not, have a special place in my heart.
To be fair, seasons 17-21 were actually pretty decent as well. Then BWBA happened in 22, and it’s been pretty mediocre since (aside from a few good episodes).
I guess that explains why diesels are the villains
I’ll try
>Fans considering the Original Series the only show that matters and hatting everything that came after(Alien Force/Ultimate Alien)
>Fans really loving Alien Force and Ultimate Alien
>Fans hating Omniverse so much a hatedom was created that bullied artists and people who worked on the show off DeviantArt
>Just a lot of hatred and discourse over everything.
I don’t know why you replied to them pretending to be me, but don’t do that.
Seconding. What happened to the wiki? Is it accessable on the wayback?
>Who is BoCo
>Who is Rusty
There's good diesels even in the Rev Awdry works.
Is this seriously over the omission of Pokemon in the next gen?
>Who is BoCo
A fag.
I'm pretty sure he's just one of those people who get absolutely enraged when you don't know what they do know.
LMAO if you played Pokemon youd see the quality decline once GF hit 3D. Theres no excuse for their laziness and shortcuts. They are almost as bad as Bethesda and EA
What happened? I thought Andrew Brenner was suppose to salvage the series like many fans thought. Did higher ups meddle in?
You're a fag. Also Fred.
Why does the Tallyln always use the most horrific faces on their Thomas specials? It's hilarious as I'm not a fan of the days even if they're great for funding but good lord, s'terrible.
THIS IS GOOD COCOA
Because they're homemade and are most likely made by random volunteers who aren't artists or sculptors.
*dies a few seconds later
And depraved
Sorta related but I accidentally dated the top editor of the Book of Life Wiki. There was a (functionally) autistic cute girl at work and asked her what her favorite movie was at work and she said The Book of Life. I got excited thinking I might have a chance at dating someone with an interest in animation.
Turns out it was actually the :only: movie she liked. She showed a world I had hoped didn't exist.
>Ask if she wants to watch a movie and she says she wanted to watch BoL. We watch it as she every line in the movie, pausing to tell me about hidden easter eggs and how certain parts are blatantly supportive of communism.
>Ask if she wants to watch something the next day and she simply says "Yes I want to watch the Book of Life"
>realize somethings wrong
>Shows me all of these erotic self-insert fics of her with the main two characters, some getting into hundreds of pages long
>Shows heated online arguments about the political undertones of the movie
>No one in the community has been to Mexico and actually believes modern Mexico is exactly like the movie.
>Literally hasn't watched another movie or show since BoL came out
>only wanted to fug if I RP as Joaquin and talk in a Mexican accent the whole time
>I did
I can’t blame some of those fans. I’ve been feeling a lot of nostalgia for the preschool shows I used to watch, even more than the CN/Nick stuff.
>how certain parts are blatantly supportive of communism.
Now, was she excited or angry at these parts?
Fucking a sperg is one thing, I just want you to understand how dangerous it was to stick your dick in that kind of crazy if she was a commie on top of it all.
OLD THING GOOD NEW THING BAD
Diesel = souless. Do you think kids wonder in awe when they see a boring metal box honk
Yes she was a major Communist on top of it and heavily invested in a lot of commie tumblr pages.
Why even reply if you're just gonna be retarded?
It was basically a massive shitpost wiki
Head writers only have a certain amount of control. Producers, consultants, the toy division, etc. have a higher reign of control, and if all that shits falling apart, there isn't much a head writer can do.
I hope this never comes back to haunt you, commie pussy isn't worth it.
I'm sure it can. I still work with her and the only reason I feel comfortable posting about her here is because she described Yea Forums as a racist, Nazi cesspool of bigotry.
>a racist, Nazi cesspool of bigotry.
Ah, home.
There isn’t a single good fanbase on the face of the earth. You either deal with it or don’t.
There's a few, but they're all really niche.
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, for instance.
Depends on who you ask. I personally think it was mostly the higher-ups.
Brenner did a decent job overall with 17-21. Lots of returnees from the classic series, like Duck, Oliver, Donald & Douglas. Newcomers were also interesting. Writing ranged from 'ok' to 'great.' Even the worst episodes of those seasons were subjectively better than some of the episodes from the Miller era. The movies were also fairly good (Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure, especially). I think most TTTE fans would find at least one good thing to say about the Brenner era, show-wise.
What happened was the ratings and toy-sales started sagging, so Mattel (who owns HiT Entertainment now) decided to push for a revamp of the entire series, in an attempt to expand the demographics of the show.
So the show is now entitled Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! (since season 22). It's named for the recent movie that had Thomas do a trip around the world to different countries (India, Australia, China, Brazil, and a few others). Half of the episodes of each season are focused on Thomas during those visits, and the other half is set on Sodor like the previous seasons. Thomas himself is now the narrator. The "Steam Team" was changed up: Edward, Henry, and Toby were dropped and Nia (a female engine from Africa) and Rebecca (a female yellow engine) were added. The engines now bounce around on their own. There's at least one acid trip fantasy sequence per episode. Season 22 just ended, season 23 is underway.
Most of the TTTE fandom seems to really despise BWBA, for different reasons. It's not so much the added diversity and female engines as other things, though. Some absolutely HATE the bouncing. With a passion. I've seen people make rants on the bouncing alone and how it ruins the original series' focus on realism and physics. Others don't like how flanderized some of the original characters are slowly becoming (Gordon and James especially).
The writing itself has taken a huge hit. The Sodor episodes are mostly ok, but the Brenner team really struggles with writing the internationally-set episodes. Most of the international characters and engines are pretty bland. The stories are bland. Thomas just keeps making the same mistakes over and over without learning from them. It's just a mess.
A huge amount of fans have left the TTTE fandom in an exodus over the changes. TTTE is a unique series in that it seems to attract fans that are obsessed in keeping the series both grounded in railway realism and in Awdry's original vision. Anything that goes against those norms usually leads to uproar and fandom infighting. An incorrect signal usage or added rivets in the wrong place are enough to absolutely PISS some of these people off. So you can imagine the absolute shitstorm the revamp has created. It's actually kind of sad.
Some of us are still sticking around hoping this is just a phase. I personally am. I've heard Brenner's leaving, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

How in THE WORLD
lol I left after HIT took over, TTTE lost its charm by then. S1-4 is the golden age and s5-7 is comfy.
Fandom discovered it and demanded that it be converted into an actual Scary Godmother wiki. The shitpost pages are still alive though, they've been moved to a "neo" wiki.
>title name
>rated M
>25k words
T-This is ironic right?
Oh user...
How little you know
This is unbelievably based
>She doesn't like Binky much because he is a gay bully
Blast from the past, I actually remember this author. I came across a few of his fics browsing ff dot net a few years ago. I clicked on one and regretted it instantly. It was exactly like this Arthur fic, an uncomfortable description of children. For over 40 chapters.
I remember thinking, “this guy can’t be real,” but I clicked on his profile and found nearly 200 stories of a similar caliber, mostly Arthur, but Sofia the First and WordGirl too. His profile says he’s a 37-yr-old man. He’s more than likely on the autism spectrum, but that’s no excuse for him to publicly post stories like that. This guy needs supervision.
It's mainly VP really.
If you mention liking anything about gen 1 you get spammed with Kantoooooo, gen 5 also gets a lot of shit and god help you if you say anything positive about any 3D mainline games.
Hell even if you're neutral on the drama going on with sword and shield you'll be called a cock sucking shill.
>For what?
Save Our Voice Actors
I remember...
The Simpsons fandom bar none.
>Awdry was also a big train enthusiast and had great love and respect for british steam which felt alive unlike diesels
It was called having a nostalgia wank over his childhood.
Adventure Time's fandom is pretty bad.
I'm nearly 30, do I even want to know about this nonsense?
This is true. Pokemon gets away with so much shit because it's Pokemon. I've been a fan since day one, I grew up with it and I hate what it's become since the 3DS era. But insane GF apologist won't let you say boo about anything
What is it about trains that always brings out the most autistic in people. Not just the Thomas fandom but fucking train set enthusiasts were the original autists before the Internet. Fuck those anti vaccination people we just need to stop trains from corrupting more people.
After Edd died it gradually became infested with tumblr girls constantly shipping characters, despite being real people, to the point where said people got harassed for being straight.
Also didn't help that bottling up the grief from Edd's death caused Tom to snap.
they're trains you autistic retard
Can you actually publish and sell fanfiction like this?
The bigger a Pokemon fan you are, the more reasons you have to hate GameFreak.
The book on Sodor taught me a lot about English history.
I have to wonder what's even the point of things like this. I've heard it goes back to the Roman Empire.

Some people just enjoy worldbuilding
This doesn't even touch on the sentient trains.
Good God they even have a language.
>I had Arthur circumcised after birth so his penis can be washed better in fact," said Mrs. Read, "And Fern has a nice vagina on her."
>Mrs. Walters said if she had a son she would have him circumcised but she can't have more kids she had some cancer there as in had part of her genitals removed. Mrs. Read can and will have D.W. and Kate in fact. Fern will never have siblings she is an only child. Arthur will see D.W. and Kate's vaginas when he sees them two naked. Binky had a bath with Molly and he thinks her vagina is gross. She said all girls has them and she saw how small his penis is. She said she saw a bigger one before she had a bath with Brain who back then was just called Alan back then and still see them talking there.

What do you think is wrong with this guy? This is some guy out there walking around somewhere.
*dubstep fart*
Now I'm not a TTTE expert, but it sounds like the ultimate version of the show would just be one giant sprawing industry-accurate physical train set, like just a warehouse thats a massive model of an entire county with a complicated train system, and then you have some train set nerds act out little jobs in stop motion, and you narrate and film it. Seems easy enougj
>"I have nothing against her from touching his
penis and scrotum feels his two testicles," said
Mrs. Read, "She will learn about genitals
someday."
>"Binky was said to be took gay pride fest and
parade when it was held this year in fact," said
Mrs. Walters, "And Arthur has a nice penis and
scrotum."
Shill
Keep seething
Its enthusiasm for their work you unimaginative brainlet
Good post
My much younger brother still watches TTTE so we sit down and watch S 1-5 sometimes. It's a comfy thing to do
I remember one guy who wrote a bunch of stories about Arthur characters getting circumcised.
