i keep seeing "fandom is ruined" posts but all you guys have to do is follow accounts ran by normal adults and start blocking anyone that even mildly annoys you

A-FUCKING-MEN. Went so far as getting an extension that adds a block button to each tweet/skeet/post. Say something rage bait-y? Seem intentionally obtuse about simple concepts? Making a sport of arguing? Being too freaking annoying? Okay byeeeeeee have a decent life 👋
if you just follow people who have normal desk jobs, relationships, friends offline or just generally behave like a functioning adult your timeline will get a lot better, i promise. anyone else that keeps making the same drama happen over and over again, you block. it's easy.
there's so much happening in the world that actually deserves our attention much more than minor fandom icks and your personal life should also have much more interesting things. functioning adults have understood that and migrated away from feeding into the same dumb fights.
which is not to say you can't have opinions or that you can't have discussions because you totally can. you say your opinion, someone else says theirs, and you move on. if it's a real issue? you fix it and you move on. if you can't fix it? you block it and you move on.
If you’re spending the majority of your time talking about stuff you hate and stuff that makes you angry then you need to step back and reconsider whether this is actually helping you or anyone else!!!
Yeah man. Fandom is only “ruined” if your idea of fandom is letting a bunch of teenagers dictate what opinions on art you’re supposed to have. It does not have to be that serious
blocking anyone who mildly annoys you aside, you should not engage with the toxic parts of a media (whether it's a game, anime, movies, tv shows, comics, manga, books or literally anything you can think of) unless you for some stupid reason want to

Block button solves so many issues. People don’t like peace. I deleted my 13 year old twitter account because blocking and muting didn’t work anymore.
If all you're doing is shitting on the thing and people who *dare* to like the thing, are you really a fan?
Theres way too many franchises with subsets of fandom who get like that and it just doesn't feel good vibes wise
Put the "fan" back in fandom.
