Ngl I was getting tired of seeing all this tumblr "intellectuals" sneer at fandom as if it was impossible to enjoy both high art and lowbrow creations. As if you couldn't be invested in analysing poetry and literature and art in a serious capacity AND indulge in shipping and fanfic and kinkmemes. So yeah, the whole "Siken talks fandom on twitter" meltdown is fascinating to witness.

#i have been following the whole thing through screenshots unfortunately bc i'm not on twitter #so maybeee i'm missing some fruvial nuance or something #but yeah. why would you be ''better'' bc you don't care for fandom?#why do you think it's impossible to be scholarly and fandomy?#why do you assume these things in eternal opposition never too intersect #yeah some people's anti-intellectualism sucks ass and is cringe worthy #but how is claiming that fandom makes them incapable of serious reading gonna fix that?#the narrowmindedness of the claim that you can either be Serious or Silly but not both is ridiculous!#not rb bc it's only my thoughts that I'm releasing into the void #me.txt
