I feel like what killed Guardians of the Galaxy fandom love was Infinity War and I was just left sorta heartbroken (in a way) and wandered aimlessly to fill the void (with Pacific Rim) and it just didn't get a chance to recover. Maybe it'll come back. I miss you, Guardians of the Galaxy.
As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive. Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.
Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.

This doesn’t just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.
Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:
“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.
But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”
Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2
Here is how to contact your MEPs.
Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I sure as hell don't care!
Okay... I'm sorry, but I really have had enough. Stop blaming the Guardians for what happened in infinity war!!!
I mean sure, Quill made a mistake and didn't wait till they got that damn gauntlet. But for real, everyone would have reacted that way, if they would have just find out that their loved ones died. No one can tell me otherwise and if anyone does, then sorry, but I doubt that you really care for that person.
Another thing is, I've read somewhere that Gamora is the one to blame as well. Now I'm questioning, why? Yeah, maybe in some people's opinion, she shouldn't have go to Knowhere and faced Thanos, but y'all forgetting that she made Quill promise her, that he need to kill her, should Thanos ever get her and the fact, that he actually did pulled that damn trigger proves a lot, but Thanos manipulated reality so it was no use.
+ that later, she actually did tried to kill herself and really did tried to keep Thanos from getting the soul stone.
Besides, what about Strange or I dunno, Thor maybe... Look, Dr. strange have seen like over 14 million different outcomes, but they only win in one, how come, that now the fandom find one way after another, of how they could have done it?
My second example is Thor. Sure, he lost everyone and that's why he wanted to kill Thanos while telling him, that he told him before, that he would pay for what he did. I mean, I get that, I really do, but like many people already said, why aiming for the chest or like Thanos said, for the head, when he could have cut his freakin' arm! Like seriously, he could have still killed him afterwards, but no, he had to make it his way and that's why Thanos was still able to snap his finger and wipe out half of the population in the whole damn univers.
Once again, it weren't just Quill or Gamora who made a mistake, but the other ones as well!
So, next time better pay attention to everyone's actions, before picking just one person, who to blame for the whole thing that happened!
THANK YOU!!!
(Sorry for some grammar mistakes or something, but english ain't my native language. Still I apologise if I made any of these mistakes.)
Hey, right now I'm working on a story I'll post. Probably during this week. It'll be the first time that I write a story, that I'll also post so, hope I won't mess it up. Btw, you should probably not read it, if you haven't seen Infinity War yet, cause it'll play a few minutes or so after it.
Of course I care. Please don't do it.
Please don’t scroll past this…
I finally got my Infinity War ticket, gonna see it on 28th april.
Sad it couldn't be on opening night tho, but still soo excited, can't wait for it.
...duno thought this might be interesting
At some point they played some kind of game where he has to describe the following pictures of the characters from Infinity War with one word.
There were altogether 5 of them:
first Iron Man which he called legend,
than Captain America which he just called captain,
he described gamora as amore,
Thor perfect,
and Spiderman the future.
You've gotta be kidding me!
I've watched Infinity War just a few hours ago and... damn I still can't... what just happen, they can't just leave us like that.
It's freakin' 2am, I'm literally lying in bed crying, I'm dead inside. It's like I feel so many emotions all at once and completely numb at the same time.
Can we talk about the fact that Kraglin isn't with the Guardians in infinity war, so where exactly is he?
There ain't no ravagers around anymore he could stay with. Soo where does he stay during that time and since how long isn't he with them anymore?
Where are those woke white people at!?
