My friend has given me a very passionate recommendation of epic: the musical and it sounds so interesting but since that recommendation i've encountered the online fandom for it and they've all been the most insufferable people alive 😔 I try not to let fandom influence my enjoyment of a work but that's usually AFTER i've already consumed and enjoyed it, not before. You fuckers are gonna make me get a bad grade in friendship media resonance.

#rant #complaining and whining about fandom #mostly i just see them complain about women all day #saw one describe margaret atwood as some horrible man-hating misandrist #lots and lots of madeline miller hate too which... i know some people have their gripes with her #but if YOUR gripe is she's too mean to men...#well #listen you can woobify your blorbo from your myths. i wholeheartedly support this.#but if you get THIS mad at anyone who dares to have a different interpretation... even ones that are directly sourced *from the epic cycle*#(yes i also understand why some have beef with the telegony. it's weird. this does not make anyone who uses it as a source inherently evil)#then i think you need to stop #also the shit some of them will say about the hanged maids... that's not even a seperate work you can denounce that's IN the odyssey itself #listen man if you think any encounter with circe or calypso was assault because of the power gap #you have to admit the same is true of *slaves* stuck in a house with a bunch of entitled powerful men for decades #i *know* this thing doesn't have rape apolagia in it. my friend wouldn't rec that to me. so how did you people get so rancid?#i have to believe i just happened to encounter a bad corner of the fandom and the rest are normal
