#but please dont introduce ST fans to another piece of media

[crying-with-my-emo-grandpa]

Before anyone accuses me of "gatekeeping" let's make one thing clear:

If you are actively spreading toxicity and hate throughout the fandoms you are currently in, members of other fandoms have the right to exclude you to keep their own fandoms as safe and pleasant as possible.

So now that that's out of the way, let me just say that I fully support not wanting stranger things fans within your fandom.

A significant portion of stranger things fans are people who have never existed in fandom spaces before. Being in your first fandom may mean not knowing exactly what is and isn't appropriate to say, or how to respectfully have disagreements with people. While I think everyone deserves a grace period as well as time to learn the ropes, I also think that that privilege gets revoked if you are ACTIVELY WISHING BODILY HARM ON OTHERS

That theme is very apparent throughout the ST fandom and the people who are saying shit like that rarely get called out or reprimanded

And to be clear obviously not all of us are this way, but it should be noted that way to fucking many stranger things fans are literally telling people to kill themselves over fictional characters

So if you love deathnote like I do or have been a long term fan of ANY piece of media don't "exclude" stranger things fans, but make sure to double check how how they acted in this fandom before introducing them to any others

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

thinking again about how supposedly the Duffer Brothers are gonna make a Death Note adaptation lmao. I cant wait for this fandom to get overrun with idiotic ST fans who can’t handle morally questionable characters and who will start foaming at the mouth at the mere mention of Lawlight 😂

idk why they’re even trying to adapt DN either. literally no one wants another DN reboot. nothing they try will ever outshine the manga and its anime adaptation and I for one won’t give a shit unless they have lawlight make out sloppy on the stairs 🤷🏻‍♂️ the gay subtext was fine in 2003 but its 2024 now so we need them explicitly canon or what’s the point

like I��m serious. the only way I’m watching this is if they make lawlight a thing lmao cuz what else could they have to say about Death Note that I can’t get out of a lawlight edit set to My Immortal on YouTube
