TM is much more popular in Japan so I'm sure there's something. Probably China too, if for nothing other than the F/GO rerollers.

[Seika]

Japanese fans are usually on the BBSs.

Hey, my fanclub is on reddit. It's not all bad.

[I3uster]

whens ur subreddit

[Sausious]

tbf I'm specifically talking about the f/go reddit which is just salt and fanart covering the front page. half of which is usually just porn.

Thanks.

I was wondering where BL stood on the scale, and it seems that we're either the top or one of the top English-speaking TM communities.

That would explain why so much TM-related stuff leads to BL.

[Strife ❤️]

I'd go as far as saying it's the only English TM community.

Well unless you count threads in other forums and the subreddits and stuff like facebook pages.

[Sausious]

It's the only place I've ever seen that is specifically TM. Which of course is going to make it bigger in that sense.

It depends on how you define it.

I'd count something like a subreddit as community due to how there's not gonna be a lot of overlap with the watch subreddit. If you only count a dedicated site then sure.

Is BL big because we translate stuff or do we translate stuff because BL is big?

Asking you, original members.

TL is prob the #1 visitor pull now that FF has become kinda small but that used to be a good source of newbies.

[Sausious]

Speaking as someone who joined recently (though I've lurked for a while) translation is part of it, but more than that it's being able to talk about a series I enjoy with people who have a chance of knowing more than Fate without it all being about power levels. Because in 90% of other places I've been that's where a TM discussion immediately goes.

[asterism42]

Powerlevel discussions should stay in the Vs thread where they belong and leave the rest of us alone.

[Asunder]

Powerlevels were irrelevant ever since an anemic highschooler chopped up Dartz's 'most perfectest ultimate being in all creation' waifu.

[Zurvan]

Let's keep it clean okay

[Sesto]

BL is for the elite members of the TM community, people flock here because they want to be cool as us

[Sausious]

I mean I like a good power level talk, and used to be part of a Vs section, but for me it was always more of why it was interesting how certain powers matched up. With TM random fans it usually goes "Lol muh excaliblast" and I nope out.

back in the days some hardcore TM fans were bashing almost every doujin because they thought it's 'wrong'.

that's why you don't see many TM doujin these days.

[asterism42]

To me it seems like powerlevel discussions always devolve to 'my waifu can beat up your waifu!'.

idk I've seen plenty. Again though it's mostly Fate.

I used to have some good discussions. Then One Punch Man fans came and I can't tell you how quick it dissolved.
