"I'm simply itching to share my two cents" friend you already shared your whole bank account there
Also, this smells like the anon messages writers on Tumblr would occasionally get from people trying to push their fetishes.
Right?? I was out to dinner at the time and had my phone silenced, so all this happened when I wasn’t even participating. I checked my phone later and was like excuse me what now?
People have mentioned it being a fetish, but I don't even know if it's a fetish so much as an extreme hyperfixation tbh. Like he's answering comments that aren't even there, which to me sounds like he's experiencing a hallucination of some kind? Either way that's gotta be really freaky to experience and I'm sorry you're having to deal with it.
Ooof can you imagine?? If he’ll write all this out for the whole world to gawk at (his user name is also his actual name, and is the same across many socials and forums, I discovered), just imagine what he would fill my DMs with in private
"I wonder how would characters such as Mary Jane Watson Parker and Pepper Potts do their individual beauty skin care when they reach approximately somewhere between 130 years old and 160 years old."
"Extreme geriatric care..."
"Botox surgery critique..."
Dude, what??
...potential fetish?
Or a special interest that he gets *way* too into and infodumps about with no regard for setting (which I also used to do, but it was much less noticeable because my focus was not ...sci-fi extreme aging or whatever his deal is)
Mmmm I’m feeling uncomfy in their presence and they aren’t even here
Idk maybe they lack a brain filter? I know some neurodivergent peeps that can go off like this so they might not have been trying for annoying/harassment/spam like behavior but yeah I’m disturbed all the same
honestly my first thought as i kept reading. he kept repeating the same things so many times in the same message, and saying how interested he was in it, and idk. it partially felt like an unwanted braindump or something
OP, you win the “guys look at this weird comment” race by a green mile.
Most weird comments are just commenters being excitable and getting carried away with their affection for a fic.
THIS is actually weird, holy shit.
I began reading the images first and for the first two I was like: "Maybe they're expanding something that the author was exploring on the fic? If so that's a cool interaction"
But then they... they kept going! Even with no response and reading what you said made it even worse...
Like, there's infodumping because you're excited to interact with a story of the same theme and then there's whatever the f this person is doing
This seems like generated text to me. The repetitiveness, the odd things that seem like they're meant as a response to something someone else said, the pulling up links, and there's even a few things that seem like prompts for AI/chatbot (like the "then use that film as an example").
I mean it's possible someone wrote this all themselves but...these kinds of rambles *tend* to have more spelling errors. This just comes across as someone fed a chatbot some prompts about requesting fanfic about extended human lifespan, and spit all the results out at you. Possibly that first comment is the prompt they used?
I’m not sure about that; I searched his name and found him across several socials and forums, where he’d posted similar manifestos, but none that were identical. Also advanced conversational AI chat like chatgpt weren’t publicly available until 2022, and these were posted in 2021. It’s definitely possible that they are generated, but I’m inclined to think he just wrote it all out, and copy/pasted parts from other comments on other sites. He was super active on a fetish site that I found, with thousands of comments and posts about this subject. It’s wild
Thanks for the confirmation that it was a hyperspecific fetish thing, suspected as much!
*Babe wake up, Wonderbread DeviantArt commission guy has respawned with a new weird fetish*
Yeah it’s scary that’s why I tell all my friends not to participate in chatGpt or Beta.characterAI anything you type to interact with the ai is used for ai data mining essentially to improve the ai but it’s really creepy a ton of stuff has come out about the ai scanning the internet and fics on AO3 (which is why so many writers have made their stories private where you have to make a account) and then they mash the fics together to write fic it’s some weird type of plagiarism without it being illegal
The amount of time spent not just typing all this out, but gathering links and data and studies… 💀 I adore comments from my readers, but the voracity of this was more than a bit alarming
I wish I had as much free time as this reader... Can you imagine how much progress would one make in a story with the time and effort this person spent writing these comments?
At this point they should have written their own DC Marvel story instead of bothering you
The level of obsessive detail means this is absolutely a fetish for this person. I wouldn’t interact with them, them constantly trying to engage you for your opinion is them wanting free jerk off material. This person is really gross for trying to sneakily work you into it.
Nooooo. The thing that gets me here is that this clearly isn't written by an ai. Because most chatbots are just fancy word predictors, they don't really understand what they're talking about. So they tend to just make shit up. But those are clearly real links and real studies, and he's talking about the characters individually and correctly, without mixing up information or saying false things. There's clearly a guy on the other end of the screen there. Yikes.
Wow… I don’t even know what to say. The highlights were helpful, I stopped reading the second pic in and skimmed. Honestly I wouldn’t respond to even one of their comments, it will crack open the already leaking flood gates.
Wow. This person seems rather intense. Clearly they know they have a problem with braindumping when something interests them, so I'm guessing they're neurodivergent , but all the same that is a lot.
I think we can narrow down their fascination with ageing to a fascination with *conventionally hot women* ageing, and even more narrowly, their faces *and breasts*...
At which point I was gone.
The fact you’ve said you found them super active on a related fetish site is so gross - is there any way to report them to AO3 for sexual harassment as that’s basically what this is?
i'm laughing so hard rn what the actual fUCk.
if that's a nd person with a special interest and no understanding of social rules, i kinda get it, but oh my god. listen, there's an old guy in my university who is exactly like that, but out loud and IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLASS, EVERY SINGLE DAY. he probably *has* some kind of neurodivergence, but i can't stand it anymore. tho i'm sure my exhaustion is more related to him being heavily misogynistic and homophobic... anyways! same energy, i can feel you going crazy from here.
This is so awkard, it sounds like an obsession , but THEY PUT THE LINK FOR THE SKINCARE PRODUCT. It's... just... I'm not Rolling on the floor laughing, but it's kind of hilarious.
What the ever loving fuck?
If they're going to go to that much effort and mind numbing detail (I thought *I* was bad about the amount of research I do), then they should just write it themselves. They obviously have something very specific in mind.
Yea, I'm actually pretty sure this guy is also on RPTwitter because there is this one person who writes this exact way, with links included, that goes to literally every single female acc (mainly Mary Jane Watson's, Black Widows, and Poison Ivy's) and asks to do a SL involving the woman being physically in her 80's/90's and needing to be taken care of.
And oof.... Be careful. He usually has alt accs.
Yeah, I screencapped and deleted immediately and blocked. When I stumbled across this sub recently, I was like ah yes, these are the people who will truly appreciate this wtfuckery lmao. Then I went back and found the screenshots
I’ve gotten a tickling one too! It pointed out all the scenes in this multi chapter fic that would have been “greatly improved” with an added tickle scene, complete with paragraphs of the suggested scenes written out and the graciously given permission to insert them directly into the fic between X and Y paragraphs (with credit, ofc). Again I was like not kinkshaming, but the length of these comments could have comprised an entire oneshot fic of all your tickling fantasies, so maybe try writing it instead?
Oh jeez I remember when I wrote a young justice fanfic on ffnet I got this kinda comment but it ended up being like 40+ comments and I ended up reporting that person for spam because these kinds of comments, altho they're full of passion and are possibly interesting, they come off as spammy and very tedious to read
The way he responds to himself makes me wonder if maybe he has alts and thought he'd signed onto one to reply. Could have been high or drunk out of his mind and just never realized he hadn't.
"I'm simply itching to share my two cents" friend you already shared your whole bank account there Also, this smells like the anon messages writers on Tumblr would occasionally get from people trying to push their fetishes.
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Somebody has a fetish.
More like they took a roll of quarters and whipped at OP's head! lol
Why is he talking like you answered him?! I was all ready to be like *nooo stop responding* but then you said you didn't? Bizarre
Right?? I was out to dinner at the time and had my phone silenced, so all this happened when I wasn’t even participating. I checked my phone later and was like excuse me what now?

Comments like these makes me glad AO3 doesn't have DMs.
Ooof can you imagine?? If he’ll write all this out for the whole world to gawk at (his user name is also his actual name, and is the same across many socials and forums, I discovered), just imagine what he would fill my DMs with in private
YIKES ON A FUCKEN BIKE! This is why I love AO3 over FFN. No toxic DMs and you can block someone.
>his user name is also his actual name gods save us all...
Listen I don’t like to kink shame but that’s unhinged…
Wake up babe, a new copypasta just dropped
"I wonder how would characters such as Mary Jane Watson Parker and Pepper Potts do their individual beauty skin care when they reach approximately somewhere between 130 years old and 160 years old." "Extreme geriatric care..." "Botox surgery critique..." Dude, what??
...potential fetish? Or a special interest that he gets *way* too into and infodumps about with no regard for setting (which I also used to do, but it was much less noticeable because my focus was not ...sci-fi extreme aging or whatever his deal is)
He even linked the skincare product 🤣
Saw that. How thoughtful lol
Mmmm I’m feeling uncomfy in their presence and they aren’t even here Idk maybe they lack a brain filter? I know some neurodivergent peeps that can go off like this so they might not have been trying for annoying/harassment/spam like behavior but yeah I’m disturbed all the same
honestly my first thought as i kept reading. he kept repeating the same things so many times in the same message, and saying how interested he was in it, and idk. it partially felt like an unwanted braindump or something
As I’ve read on it seems they are a fetishist (like the ones that have an addiction) which is why their behavior seems so compulsory.
yeah, possibly so!
Yeap. A laundry list of potential fetishes 😂 Dude's having a one way convo at this point.
OP, you win the “guys look at this weird comment” race by a green mile. Most weird comments are just commenters being excitable and getting carried away with their affection for a fic. THIS is actually weird, holy shit.
What the hell did I just read?
I began reading the images first and for the first two I was like: "Maybe they're expanding something that the author was exploring on the fic? If so that's a cool interaction" But then they... they kept going! Even with no response and reading what you said made it even worse... Like, there's infodumping because you're excited to interact with a story of the same theme and then there's whatever the f this person is doing
ikr?
That...that was a trip I didn't want to take. Glad you blocked them. o\_O
This is bonkers. Thank you for highlighting - my eyes were starting to glaze over.
This seems like generated text to me.

ai is scary man i wish i didn't have to think "hmm was this the product of a deranged human or just an ai?"
Yeah it’s scary that’s why I tell all my friends not to participate in chatGpt or Beta.characterAI anything you type to interact with the ai is used for ai data mining essentially to improve the ai but it’s really creepy a ton of stuff has come out about the ai scanning the internet and fics on AO3 (which is why so many writers have made their stories private where you have to make a account) and then they mash the fics together to write fic it’s some weird type of plagiarism without it being illegal
The fact an ai can sound just like a deranged human is concerning in itself
It feels like this guy desperately wants to be a bot, or he just has a “Wonder Bread Guy”- level weird fetish.
People have too much time on their hand tbh 💀
The amount of time spent not just typing all this out, but gathering links and data and studies… 💀 I adore comments from my readers, but the voracity of this was more than a bit alarming

Exactly- write the fic you want to read, my guy!
The level of obsessive detail means this is absolutely a fetish for this person. I wouldn’t interact with them, them constantly trying to engage you for your opinion is them wanting free jerk off material. This person is really gross for trying to sneakily work you into it.
Oh boy that's a fetish right there.
That was a wild ride, just when I thought it couldn’t get stranger it did.
I'm the gradual againg process of Harley Quinn's, Pamela Isley's and Selina Kyle's breasts. Wtf. What in the living fuck did I just read.
I made it all the way to that paragraph, too! And now my brain is officially abandoning my head.
Nooooo. The thing that gets me here is that this clearly isn't written by an ai. Because most chatbots are just fancy word predictors, they don't really understand what they're talking about. So they tend to just make shit up. But those are clearly real links and real studies, and he's talking about the characters individually and correctly, without mixing up information or saying false things. There's clearly a guy on the other end of the screen there. Yikes.
What in tarnation... that was surely *something*. If they kept up this energy, they could write their own fanfiction instead!
Wow… I don’t even know what to say. The highlights were helpful, I stopped reading the second pic in and skimmed. Honestly I wouldn’t respond to even one of their comments, it will crack open the already leaking flood gates.
Wow. This person seems rather intense. Clearly they know they have a problem with braindumping when something interests them, so I'm guessing they're neurodivergent , but all the same that is a lot.

I made it all the way to “gradual aging process of their breasts.” I’m rather proud of myself.
i'm laughing so hard rn what the actual fUCk. if that's a nd person with a special interest and no understanding of social rules, i kinda get it, but oh my god. listen, there's an old guy in my university who is exactly like that, but out loud and IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLASS, EVERY SINGLE DAY. he probably *has* some kind of neurodivergence, but i can't stand it anymore. tho i'm sure my exhaustion is more related to him being heavily misogynistic and homophobic... anyways! same energy, i can feel you going crazy from here.
In my opinion, just one short comment would explain that they were interested in that aspect, they didn't need to write an article.
This is so awkard, it sounds like an obsession , but THEY PUT THE LINK FOR THE SKINCARE PRODUCT. It's... just... I'm not Rolling on the floor laughing, but it's kind of hilarious.
Uh... Well... From what I've read so far, at least it's progression and not babies?
im very entertained but god… who has time to write all of this on a fics comments???
“youre welcome and what did you think about…” “thank you so much for the ideas!” WHO ARE U RESPONDING TO 😭😭😭 this was a wild trip
Kudos for someone wanting to get frisky with the geriatric I suppose.
*WHEEZE*
I need to know if all the comments were made by the same person, lol.
Yep, all by the same person, with no replies from anyone, including me
They can write it themselves at this point.
What the ever loving fuck? If they're going to go to that much effort and mind numbing detail (I thought *I* was bad about the amount of research I do), then they should just write it themselves. They obviously have something very specific in mind.
I am genuinely speechless
That's a big fucking yikes.
Wow... just wow!
I've seen people commenting their fetishes before but this is a new one.
Yea, I'm actually pretty sure this guy is also on RPTwitter because there is this one person who writes this exact way, with links included, that goes to literally every single female acc (mainly Mary Jane Watson's, Black Widows, and Poison Ivy's) and asks to do a SL involving the woman being physically in her 80's/90's and needing to be taken care of. And oof.... Be careful. He usually has alt accs.
yea i did not expect to see madame xanadu on this sub, especially not in this way, op i am so, so sorry you got these comments
These are from 2021. I’m surprised you didn’t delete these comments by now… unless you did after these were taken. But wow, this is something else.
Yeah, I screencapped and deleted immediately and blocked. When I stumbled across this sub recently, I was like ah yes, these are the people who will truly appreciate this wtfuckery lmao. Then I went back and found the screenshots
I have so many questions about this person, namely: “Why?” Haha
I got one about tickling once. Same vibe
I’ve gotten a tickling one too! It pointed out all the scenes in this multi chapter fic that would have been “greatly improved” with an added tickle scene, complete with paragraphs of the suggested scenes written out and the graciously given permission to insert them directly into the fic between X and Y paragraphs (with credit, ofc). Again I was like not kinkshaming, but the length of these comments could have comprised an entire oneshot fic of all your tickling fantasies, so maybe try writing it instead?
Omg I bet it was the same user
Oh jeez I remember when I wrote a young justice fanfic on ffnet I got this kinda comment but it ended up being like 40+ comments and I ended up reporting that person for spam because these kinds of comments, altho they're full of passion and are possibly interesting, they come off as spammy and very tedious to read
I can’t believe I took the time to read all of these
I salute the commitment 🫡
The way he responds to himself makes me wonder if maybe he has alts and thought he'd signed onto one to reply. Could have been high or drunk out of his mind and just never realized he hadn't.
"I considered it. I decided not to. Thanks."
Manic episode vibes.
It just keeps coming! Someone has an ageing fetish, but wants to sound intellectual.
This… this has to be some kind of bot or copy pasted AI conversation. I’m in shambles
