Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

what older canons do you think would be fad-canons if they came out today

and bonus, what would the fandom/rping be like

[(Anonymous)]

gundam wing

shitty

[(Anonymous)]

it'd be like free!

[(Anonymous)]

Gundam Wing was a fad canon. Fads just lasted a little longer in the days before social networks.

fight club

holy fucking shit, fight club

[(Anonymous)]

the fight club fandom would be like inception all over again

[(Anonymous)]

500 people rping angel face

[(Anonymous)]

Considering Fight Club 2 (comic) was released a couple of months ago, it might still end up being a fad canon.

*the last issue of

Helps if I don't miss out a chunk of my sentence.

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it also got a film adaptation, though.

[(Anonymous)]

i haven't seen a single person talking about this so probably not

[(Anonymous)]

I meant more that it's likely to also get a movie adaptation because of the cult status of the first movie. That would inevitably attract the bandwagon.

[(Anonymous)]

It worked for considerably less cool franchises like Star Trek, so I'd tend to agree.

[(Anonymous)]

maybe wikipedia isn't doing it justice but reading the synopses makes it sound... really awful. it really didn't need a sequel.

[(Anonymous)]

It was one of those movies that was great when you were a teenager/young adult and pissed off with the world, but yeah it's definitely strange on re-watch.

[(Anonymous)]

fight club is one of my all time favorite books, but i like it from a novel standpoint and not a code of ethics standpoint. the synopses made it seem like the comic was desperately trying to show tyler and his viewpoints were not good, which creepy guys who are REALLY into don't seem to realize it, but i feel like it will still go over people's heads.

[(Anonymous)]

a tangent, but it was the first thing that popped into my head so i have to ask:

if sailor moon came out today (for the first time, not crystal), would it be as fondly regarded or would we all kind of think of it as a neckbeardy thing like precure is?

[(Anonymous)]

it would just be called a copycat and dismissed as a generic cookie cutter magical girl series, i think. i don't think people would see it as bad so much as mediocre.

[(Anonymous)]

but would we even have the tropes we now think of as generic if sailor moon wouldn't have come first?

i guess you could swap out sm for dbz if you wanted to do shounen.

[(Anonymous)]

if we're assuming it kept the same art style? probably not. the lengthened bodies are kind of counter to the shorter style of body types more common in moeshit.

that being said, precure isn't a neckbeardy thing anymore than MLP is made for bronies. it's still a kid's show.

[(Anonymous)]

i didn't mean to imply that precure's actually meant for neckbeards, just that in fandom and especially dwrp, it's regarded as a neckbeard-ish fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

g00, but back when too rad to be cis first became a thing, given the... seven? or whatever canon genderqueer characters

2007/8 was before its time

[(Anonymous)]

huh, are there really? deets?

[(Anonymous)]

http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Innovades

here, anon, go down to "Sexuality and Gender"

it really would have been THE fad if it happened later on

[(Anonymous)]

Power Rangers, lmfao

The fandom would be exactly the same as it is today except that instead of collecting cards and figurines they would also be pumping up the jam writing intense battles about chunky fusion-robots against massive space-monsters. They'd get snubbed by the Pacific Rim and possibly Transformers fans (former too sleek and fancy; drifting is for true robot fighters you plebs, latter would snub for the fact that the robots weren't sentient but piloted by humans, ugh) but form a weird alliance with the Steven Universe fans, who would accept their Billy as the true precious cinnamon bun he was always meant to be.
