Occasionally I dip my toes into whatever fandom discourse is happening, regardless whether I’m in the community (TF2, Arcane, etc). I swear people will get riled up over anything, just when you think you’ve seen it all.
It must be nice having all that free time to get mad over nothing.
I saw that video about the revival of fandom spaces as a result of more people being introduced to “nerdy” cultures during the pandemic…it pretty much summed it up.
Feels like new/younger fans necro old issues resolved long ago and add even more discourse to the dumpster fire.
yeah, i'd say it's a symptom of a larger problem re: the killing off of spaces for kids to be able to grow up and express themselves in a healthy way and it's depressing because when i was a kid those spaces like Scratch and Club Penguin were still there, but now they're either dying or dead
