i will NEVER understand gatekeeping your interests because the SECOND i get a new interest it becomes my life mission to get as many people into it as possible

you just telling a few people about your interest isnt gonna do that overnight lmao
and besides, if you really liked something like a show for example, wouldnt you WANT it to get as much appreciation and support as possible?
No I really don't like sharing stuff I enjoy. And you don't know how socializing works, do you? You tell a couple of people then they know people, you don't know, and they tell them, and so on and so forth, there was actually a hair shampoo, commercial about that in the seventies and eighties.
people like u are the reason why i get into most of my interests bc for example i sometimes cannot bring myself to start any show/movie unless someone insists on telling me to do so 😭😭
thats real tbh i was also persuaded into watching lmk 😭
i watched it at the same pace as 2 of my friends (they had watched S1 a while before me and got me into it) and that was a lot of fun.. i think i wouldve gone insane if i didnt have them to yap to im not built for gatekeeping 😭😭
OOOH that’s actually really nice, watching lmk at the same time as ur friends must’ve been really fun !!
in my experiences, i’m usually the one to watch the show at a time when my friends have already finished it & are obsessing over it and they’d just wait for me to finish it so we can yap 🫡
good point... unfortunately there's other reasons (mostly with anime) because some people are very weird and i don't want them to watch something i like and be weird about it 💔
fair enough actually a bigger fandom means bigger drama 😭 im mostly talking abt people who gatekeep their interests from their own friends like whattt i am DESPERATE for my friends to like the things i like so i can yap about it 😛
