As a Lara Croft kinnie, I CAN'T FUCKING STAND MY FANDOM.

I don't know if it's a case of a small minority of "fans" being the loudest or what, but I can't even fucking touch the fandom because people are whining about "oh the show's too woke" or "Lara looks too manly, waaah!"

DIDN'T WE ALREADY GO THROUGH THIS SHIT WITH HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST??

Why can't people be fucking normal about female video game protagonists?! It's not that fucking hard! Be fucking normal! I don't want to be around anyone who's a whiny, entitled asshole who complains because the protagonist looks "too masculine" for them or whines because the protagonist possibly isn't straight.

News flash, women can look masculine. And denying that is both misogynistic and transmisogynistic at the same time.

Also the fact that these same "fans" take an issue with Lara possibly being queer (from my understanding it's not 100% confirmed but it was hinted at). I just. I can't with this fandom. This is why I left the fandom. Because of this toxicity.

I fucking hate this fandom. Again, maybe this is just a case of a small minority being the loudest, but I don't want to find out. I'm so sick of this. I'm sick of seeing this in the Tomb Raider fandom, in the Horizon fandom, in the Star Wars fandom, etc., etc.

Don't you people (you people being directed at the so-called "fans") have anything better to do with your time? I guess not!!

I haven't seen the show yet but I did watch the trailer and it looks amazing so I'm going to watch it and enjoy it and these fuckers can cry about it.

I'm just. So fucking done. This is one of those medias I will gladly enjoy alone with just my mom watching with me.
