i see way way way more posts yelling about how wrong it is to tell middle aged women that they’re too old for fandom or tumblr than I see people saying anything of the sort to middle aged women. Like I’m 36 and I’ve never had anyone tell me I’m too old to be here 🤷🏽♂️
#I think there are like. Generation gaps in fandom culture#But that’s not an age thing so much as indicative of when you started participating in fandom and where#Sometimes I see people complaining about how fandom was better when there were individual fan communities#Like on live journal or like specific fandom websites#I do remember those days but I am not nostalgic for them at all#I didn’t actually speak and participate in fandom until I found bbcs Twitter and then tumblr#I do miss it being chattier on tumblr tho#We used to have a chattier culture and now asks are less common 🤷🏽♂️#I think people have conversations on discord#Which. For one thing I don’t want another fucking app#Also a friend of mine invited me to a discord server and I found it kind of overwhelming#Plus nobody knew me and they didn’t rlly respond to my messages#Maybe it’s fun with people you already know but#It’s not easy to dive into a group of people who already know each other and have developed a culture#And just talk to them without the context they already have#But hell im autistic and struggling to identify/locate the context is like the story of my life
