the fact that i am fully aware there is an even greater population of 12 year old (as opposed to 14+) stans on twt than tumblr is like. especially nauseating esp with what has been happening recently. obv no fandom is perfect including the tumblr ones and i dont have twt so im sure the stuff ive seen is cherrypicked but the stuff i have witness to is just so. toxic?? like im sure there are good ppl on twt too but since they have such a huge platform and are constantly in the spotlight i feel like its almost poisoning those ppl or smthn yknow

#dnrb #negative #if i had a constant chance of being rtwted by a cc i liked when i was 12 years old i think that would have fucked me up actually #tumblr has always felt more personal and down to earth in fandoms for me #most fandom ppl i meet here are around 17 or older (with exceptions #but the youngest ive interacted with is like 14 or 15 and for good reason)#but the outspoken part of the twt fanbase in most fandoms seems so much younger and not as predisposed to the rules or common sense culture #of most parts of the internet #and on twt which is full of celebrities and ppl trying to get their 5 minutes #it just feels so much more stressful and like a terribly negative environment for ANYONE but especially people 14 and younger #who havent had the opportunity to experience something less bad #idk what im trying to say #i guess just. as ive grown up and seen fandom spaces change across the internet it just seems like every year theres something worse yknow #like everyone made fun of scene kids in the 2000s but most of them werent problematic or anything #but now with the era of kids being expected to put their whole lives on blast on twitter and insta and snapchat #it just feels like everyone is expected to be some form of selfish and the internet/twitter has turned into a pool of sharks #waiting for you to do something they dont like so they can cancel you or whatever #but when they inevitably get 'cancelled' themselves #(which by the way is the absolute worst way to handle situations like that. ppl should be held accountable for their actions and saying the #yre cancelled just makes them more likely to keep doing what theyre doing)#but when they inevitably get cancelled themselves they blow up and call everyone names and go dark for a week until they come back spouting #the same bs
