Sociocultural identities of the whump community: investigating cross-cultural interest in the fictional genre of whump and hurt/comfort

Response period: July 16, 9pm (NZT) - August 6, 9pm (NZT)

This survey may take approximately 10-15mins. There are a few open questions in the questionnaire, but these are optional.

At the beginning of the questionnaire, there is an information sheet. It serves as a consent form, so please give this a read. But in case it looks like too many words, here's the gist of it: - this is an academic research project - responses are entirely anonymous - responses are entirely voluntary and you may withdraw at any time during the survey - responses (including any information you voluntarily give in support of the research) will be kept confidential

Purpose of research:

This research will investigate the nature of whump interest in order to gain a better understanding of the appeal of the hurt/comfort genre, the identity of the whump fan community and the application of whump in story writing and trauma processing.

The aim is to provide new knowledge to an under-researched area, such as a psychological, sociocultural and literary perspective on whump interest that so far only informal research and discussions and some academic essays have sought to raise discussion of. Conducting this research at an academic level of research will thereby aid in laying a foundation for future academic research on the topic. This questionnaire is part of this research.

After the response collection period, I will aim to share a summary of the results here on this blog in the following month or two (TBC).

If you would like to receive notification of this via tagging on Tumblr, or receive the summary via email, please let me know in the end optional comment section of the questionnaire.

NB: Participants are not required to consider themselves a part of the whump community in order to participate in this survey.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

This was fun. It really didn't took much time to do the survey.

And I'm pretty curious about the results. Although I think I can already guess some of them.😁

Oh, this was really fun and interesting!

Interesting! 

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

Give credit to the 30-year-old who did this shit for free and offers this remarkable thing for free!

the origins of the “what are you two FUCKING talking about??” meme is almost funnier then the meme itself

there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you

“Jupiter cancelled him and we’re not going to question that”

genuinely asking: how would these laws apply to that guy who got struck by lightning on seven separate occasions but survived every time?

I think I would have assumed Zeus was trying to fuck him.

worst possible response thanks so much
