this is why i think “fandom is a kind of religion” isnt nearly as outlandish a statement as it sounds.
in my experience, the exact same thing that makes christians search Revelations for signs of the apocalypse is what causes what OP describes; negotiation with the text. as a reader, personally, you are inherently ignorant of & disconnected from the author of any work you come across, just owing to the fact that youve prolly never met them. the first time through something, you know nothing of the author, their work, nor their intentions with the work.
its your job to read, reread, watch, rewatch, question, answer, debunk, re-bunk, post old man hole, weigh evidence & critically think to bridge that gap. To learn the story, the author, a little bit of truth, & build community while doing it.
but theres no guardrails. your gut is all you have.
just because fandoms dont consider the world in theological terms, does not mean that the natural laws which govern the actions of one dont apply to the other. they’re both social systems, organic organizations which sprout up naturally over decades or centuries, to facilitate the multitudes who all want to negotiate at once, & in order to cope with the above stated knowledge problem. both are excellent at the job they exist to do, & both are capable of manmade horrors beyond your comprehension.
just because you dont talk about G-d in your discord server doesn’t mean you’re not falling into similar traps with different names.
its not that theres cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see, its that theres something to be liked about everything. blazing inferno or dying spark, bright or dim, theres touch of light. but if you’re not careful, & get caught in an echo chamber, say, youll see quite a lot more light than is really there.
perhaps unsurprisingly, this mechanism is also what causes descents into fascism.
log onto tumblr and you learn that cowboys are secretly leftist and pirates are secretly leftist and superhero comics are secretly leftist and vikings are secretly leftist and greco-roman antiquity is secretly leftist and knights are secretly leftist and the concept of the appalachian region is secretly leftist and all genre fiction is innately secretly leftist and every animated show you ever watched as a kid is secretly leftist and you never have to think about the political subtext of anything ever and you log off tumblr and for some reason people are talking about a descent toward fascism

PSA
This is The Adjuster (Robin Hoodie, Guy That Shot the CEO, etc.):

And this is Luigi Mangione:

And yes, they are both super cool and hot as fuck but remember, they are two different people. The Adjuster has not been found and Luigi was never involved in the shooting.
Do not talk about them as if they are the same person and do not further spread the idea that Luigi is guilty.

If this story made you laugh, please don’t skip this message. We live in northern Gaza and we need help. Despite the ceasefire, things keep getting worse here. We are still hungry, cold and sick. We are paying hundreds of dollars to see doctors and get treatment because of how rough the war was on our bodies. We might lose our shelter soon because the landlord keeps increasing the rent.
In the midst of this, my sister Soso, who is only four years old, deserves to be a normal child. She wants to learn but she never got to start school. A few days ago, we brought her to kindergarten, but she spent the entire day crying and now the principal doesn’t want her back. What is this injustice? Children cry on their first day! Soso is a child with a bad life, she’s hungry and cold, she went through severe famine and bombings and witnessed massacres, how can she not cry?
Please help me make our lives better, more stable, so that Soso will feel safe enough to leave our side for a few hours. She longs for an education but she is traumatized.

Thank you for your time. Stay safe ❤️🩹
