Anyway reblog to make sure all the investors know that, according to u/spez AKA Steve Huffman, the CEO of the fucking company, Reddit is, and I quote, "not profitable." Their IPO is supposedly planned for later this year. Have fun with that, Steve!

There's no need to fight. It's just a way to spread word, using robot bait.

THE BEGINNINGS OF KAWAII
No, no, you have no idea. It actually IS the beginning of the whole so-called “kawaii culture”. And it started because girls started using mechanical pencils, which provided fine handwriting. After being banished (more precisely, during the 80s), this kind of writing started being used in products like magazines and make-up. And, during this time, icons we usually associate with the whole kawaii industry (like the characters from Sanrio) came to life too.
And what many people don’t realize is that this subculture was born as a way for young girls to express themselves in their own way. And it was also used as something against the adult life and the traditional culture, often seen as dull and boring and oppressive. By embracing cuteness, these young girls (and adult women, after a while) were showing non-conformation with the current standards.
So yep. Kawaii is important, and it all started with cute, simple handwritting a few hearts and cat faces in some girls’ school notebooks <3
!!!!!
NO OK THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!
This is also how the kawaii fashions started! Girls began dressing in cute and off beat styles for themsleves, they were criticized by adult figures telling them “you’ll never find a husband if you dress that way!” to which they began to reply “Good!”
All the Japanese subcultures and fashions that evolved out of this became a rebellion to tradition and the starch gender roles and expectations the adults were forcing on the younger generations. As early as the 70s and still to this day you’ll see an emphasis on child-like fashion and themes in more kawaii styles and the dismissal of the male gaze with styles like lolita (a lot of western people assume lolita is somehow sexual due to the name of the fashion, but ask any Japanese lolita and they will tell you that men hate the style and find it unattractive which is sometimes a large reason they gravitate towards the style - they can express their femininity and individuality while remaining independent and without the pressure to appeal to men)
Its so so so important to understand the hyper cute and ‘odd’ fashions of Japanese girls carry such a huge message of feminism and reclaiming of their own lives.
so are you telling me that Japan’s punk phase was really the kawaii phase
Kawaii is so goth

I did not know this but I love this form of feminism!

Which is why you get bands like BABYMETAL, which toured with Judas Priest for a while, looking like this:

Speaking of fanfiction.net, did you know that while it was seven years ago and therefore obviously well out of date (though given the declining traffic over the past few years, that's not the biggest issue), some insane person (positive) on archive.org managed to do the unthinkable and archive a full snapshot of the site despite its infamous unarchivability; I didn't until I went looking for if anyone had good tips on downloading from there easily and found a reddit thread from 2016. It's here. So while I continue to fret about how goddamn difficult archiving the website in full will ever be when it inevitably collapses on us randomly, at the very least we have a snapshot of it as of 2016, in fact.
in case you were wondering why we haven't just done this again, the original re-pack is described as follows:
I have to admit, I'm surprised to see people reblogging this saying it was 'barely usable'- I was shocked by how usable it was, having expected it to be basically unnavigable unless you had a story ID etc, more like the oocities geocities backup and that sort of thing. I appreciate that it's hardly like opening up the actual website, of course, but mass backups of this type tend to be far more obtuse than this one in my experience.
Reblogging this again now that I'm on desktop and can grab the link.
The same person did an updated full-page grab in early 2019. It's here.
True story, downloading it is what got me so inundated with Destiel fics that I started falling behind on the archive, and has been so overwhelming that I've kinda given up on catching up. It's HUGE. If what you're looking for existed on FF.net in March, 2019, it's in this.
It contains 10 MILLION stories.
Happy reading, y'all.
(Also, I agree, it's very easy to navigate and use. Yes, it's hard to find things, but that's not the archivist's fault...that's just how ff.net IS. Finding things on there is a nightmare. I recommend using your file browser's built in search, that's your best bet.)
EDIT I AM WRONG. I thought this was a new grab but that's not correct, its a repackage of the same data as the 2016 grab. It does NOT contain the years after that! Massive apologies for accidentally propagating incorrect information!!! It does contain a little different data but not a substantial amount.
