i wonder if i'll ever look back at my time in the mcyt community the same way i look back at my time in the voltron community
(rant in the tags feel free to ignore lol)
#idk its just interesting to me because i feel very similar now to how i did then#the voltron fandom at its peak was terrifying#(to say the least)#and i genuinely feel like mcyt (specifically twitter) matches the toxicity that i saw there on such an intense level#its insane to me when i really think about it just how fucking scary it must be to be in the positions of these content creators#tommy: is 17 and has 10 million subscribers on youtube#it sounds great#until you break down that 10 million#thats 10 million people constantly watching every move you make on social media#remember that time they trended tommy neg? i remember that.#its no wonder the kids getting therapy#cant believe the peak of toxicity in the voltron fandom was someone putting glass in muffins they were going to give a show creator#the weird ship wars come close second mind lol#when i've eventually moved on from this phase in my life im sure I'll look back on it with equal fondness and regret#my time on tumblr was so nice because it was just full of very creative people sharing their passion for this thing and it was lovely#but twitter is all out war everywhere you look#every single day some shit gets said that starts an argument#i cant imagine how terrifying it would be to see some stan with a decent following tweet a strongly worded thread about a joke you made#maybe not terrifying#but itd be scary knowing the influence that fans can have over some creators#i dont want to go into detail but im sure you can probably figure out what im talking about#idk a lot of people just need to recognise that they can like minecraft roleplay without constantly worrying about politics#a based take i know#like its okay if you trend something related to minecraft when another more important thing is going on youre allowed to talk about that#its okay to not be involved#i see a lot of younger fans burning themselves out silly trying to stay afloat in twitters performative activism cesspool#and i get it because ive been there#but if youre 16 and want to livetweet a minecraft event#then good for you! go for it!#its something youre passionate about and something that makes you happy
