I think if there's one thing that truly, truly exhausts me about fandom now is when people very vehemently and passionately take sides and hate certain characters over others and dedicate entire blogs just to how much they hate those characters

it's not even in a "be nice, let people enjoy things" kind of way, like that's whatever, I don't need anyone's permission to enjoy anything.

it's more that it's just exhausting. it's just so much work to hate a character like that, especially if you're the type of blog to seek out empirical evidence to back up your viewpoints.

it's one thing to dislike a character and to talk about it. it's another thing to start like, a full-blown campaign trying to get other people on your side. aren't you tired?? don't you have like, actual real life things to do? go clean your room.

#the discourse I'm dodgin' lmao #but literally every fandom I'm 'in' right now has this issue #every fandom has always had this issue #hotd fandom is full of bickering about Ali and Nyra #and how TB sucks and TG is perfect or vice versa #Legacies fandom CONSTANTLY pitted the twins against each other which I found esp ironic #given that the twins themselves were more ride or die for each other than anyone else #YJ has all of the arguing about whether Ja or Sh was the better/worse friend #people starting Je hate blogs just b/c they don't understand and/or like some jokes about him being a malewife #just. so much. bickering.#and meanwhile I'm the type to be like 'they're all messy fuckers and I love them for that' in every situation #so I just can't quite grasp having fun doing it the other way #to each their own and everything but damn #I'm exhausted just thinking about putting that much effort into being angry about fictional people lmfao #also obvi I'm not the fandom police y'all can do whatever the fuck you want #I just can't relate
