"Symbrock" shipping

After seeing the film, Kate Gardner of The Mary Sue wondered whether it had been "queer coded", a term referring to characters appearing queer without their sexuality being a part of the story. Gardner soon noticed fan art depicting Brock and Venom as a couple appearing across social media sites. She acknowledged that there were several moments throughout the film that implied such a relationship, including Venom deciding to turn against his species because of his time spent with Brock and Venom deciding to French kiss Brock when it is transferring from Weying's body to Brock's. Gardner felt that these elements made it more logical for fans to "ship" the two characters than some similar pairings that had become popular on the internet. Many of the fans posting the art and discussing the characters' relationship online began using the name "Symbrock" to refer to them.

Tumblr's Fandometrics analysis team, led by Senior Content Insights Manager Amanda Brennan, looked at "original posts, likes, reblogs, and comments" across the website's 440 million blogs, and reported that Symbrock was the most used ship name during the week ending October 15. It was also the eighth most popular topic overall, while Venom itself was the most popular topic. Brennan said that fans of Symbrock existed before the film due to the nature of the comics, but the increase in popularity was undoubtedly due to the film's portrayal of the characters which she said made Venom's dialogue more "casual ... compared to how he speaks in comics, which kind of makes it more approachable and easier to turn the symbiote into something cute". Brennan added that dialogue such as "I am Venom and you are mine" was deemed to be particularly romantic by these fans, as was the idea that Venom be seen not as a parasite but as someone who "chose Eddie Brock and has a connection to Eddie Brock". According to Fandometrics, Symbrock remained the most popular shipping name on Tumblr for the weeks ending October 22, October 29, November 5, and November 12, before falling to third place during the week ending November 19. In its list of the top 100 shipping names of 2018, released on November 28, Fandometrics listed Symbrock in fourteenth place.

When Sony began advertising the home media release of the film by presenting it as a romantic comedy focused on Brock and Venom's relationship, io9's Charles Pulliam-Moore said it was the treatment that the film deserved, and attributed the change in strategy from the studio to the audience's response to the relationship. He added that it was rare for a film studio to "get on top of a so-so ad campaign" by adjusting towards "the public's reaction to a movie", and that he believed it to have been successful. Michael Walsh at Nerdist concurred with Pulliam-Moore, describing the move as "fully embrac[ing] 'Symbrock'" and calling it "brilliant". Walsh said that though the advertisement was clearly a parody, it also "feels like a far more accurate portrayal of what the movie was really like than the initial [marketing] hinted at", and further highlighted the kissing scene.

Nobody's explaining it so I'll be the bad guy and ruin the joke.

A Skyrat downstream added the above as a new living latex fetish thing and someone (I think Fikou started it but I could be wrong) turned it into a meme about there being a Venom antag.

I'm ruining the joke because I too hate when people regurgitate an in-joke instead of explaining it so you can also find it funny.

But this is the principle of memes Vekter

antag based on the song "Venom" by Kairikibear and the lesser known one "venom" by Eminem

In-jokes suck if you don't include other people in the community in them. Then it just becomes 5-6 people laughing about something while everyone else thinks they're assholes for not including them.

You literally just described memes in a nutshell, but in a smaller scale because it was created on an already small and niche community, of course.

And yeah memes suck and were a mistake. But what gives, it's the internet and we're adults, we can survive getting roasted from time to time.

Just as one can survive knowing they missed their opportunity to play Venom antag while it was merged, lol.

Vekter is actually right in this instance. The more people in on the joke, the more people get to laugh.

SS13 has plenty of running gags and jokes that have become part of server culture because they were shared with others, be it on the wiki, in-game, or on the forums. Squirreling them away to keep for ourselves negates their impact at best, or at worst fosters cliquey behaviour like you see in a lot of niche games.

I mean, this just reads as "I'm mad that people other than me are being included in this joke", which is a pretty middle schooler attitude to have.

Bro I'm just saying you shouldn't get so serious.
My response to your first post had little to no weight behind it. You could've responded to it in a million hilarious ways to shoot it down, but instead you follow up with a heavy "not being inclusive about memes in the community sucks" and it's such an eye roller.

Like come on is it no humour day? I'm outta here.

As headmin I will re-add Venom Antag
