I’ve been thinking I was insane but everyone was talking about clocking the conservative shift in like music or fashion and yeah I did see it in fandom tyyyy

#but tbh #i think it’s less conservative shift and more minorities being exhausted #like i think it’s less there are more conservatives and more we’re tired of talking at brick walls all the time #and in a fandom sense I do blame a chunk of it on white progressives and who pretend to give a fuck #thinking that you’re seeing change just to have to spoon feed simple shit to someone who says they know better #or just seeing them go back on everything for their own comfort #sucks #Im not even talking about Batman this time #like here it’s easier bc #IK it’s frustrating but for me I like being able to tell that this person just doesn’t read shit it makes the distinction easier #It’s other fandoms where it’s like. oh we did watch the same thing we did read the same thing u just agree with the fascists got it #but anyways #hypocritical isn’t the word but I always talk about how small shit leads to big shit but ig I thought fandom in general was so isolated id #rarely if ever see that behavior irl #like outside of fandom it’d be online #and actually nvm bc I’m remembering SHIT from school but also. is hs even real #anyways the issue is now I’m seeing the same shit in workplaces #obviously not fandom related #wait lemme articúlate it correctly #i always say these behaviors are rooted in things that Can and will manifest irl with real minorities #and Im still surprised to see it #and It’s less the same ppl doing the same thing but knowing the exact mindset causing it #like duh blanket statement racism #but It’s the equivalent of seeing the way ppl talk about like Damian vs tim and then watching real ppl actively infantilize and white folk #in front of you #like i know this happens that’s why it bothers me but damn it’s actually happening #oh ig it Can all be summed up into ive been saying fandom is barely an escape for us but actually realizing SUCKS #like oh arcane for example I love when the fandom is dead bc I could pretend the racism and apathy for black characters wasn’t happening #and that’s why Batman is better for me personally bc I can ignore anyone anyways but it’s easier to ignore when u know they don’t even go #here and they get their opinions from DPDC discords. but for arcane we all watched and ur still doing that scary
