Fandom Problem #6111:

Part of the reason I'm starting to dislike people that make liking only unproblematic/wholesome media their entire personality is because they seem to treat anything that doesn't cater to their standards of unproblematic/wholesomeness is bad. Not just with dark content, but other unproblematic/wholesome media they don't personally like.

You like an unproblematic character? Nah, they decided the character is actually bad and problematic because they did stuff they didn't like and decided they are a bad person, actually.

You like a wholesome ship? Nah, they decided it's problematic because it has some stuff they don't like about it and think all shippers who like it are bad.

You like a wholesome show? Nah, they decided the show is actually irredeemable media because it has stuff they don't like about it that their media illiterate minds can't comprehend.

You draw harmless fanart? Nah, they decided you are a terrible person and deserve to be sent death threats because the art doesn't cater to their standards.

This is coming from someone who mostly likes wholesome content, and even I don't want to hang out with these guys with how toxic, annoying, and miserable these guys are.

So I just started watching Galavant and I would just like to say: Galavant walked so WWDITS and OFMD could run.

On Fandom Psychology

Humanity has been putting each other into boxes since the dawn of time. Modern culture has evolved the box into something that can be shaped to fit any context and any narrative. Of course, this does not mean the internet created this phenomenon. Bad faith argumentation, narcissism, and misinformation are all terms that can be placed within almost any time frame. But with the birth of the internet came a new kind of monster, not reliant on physical forms nor solely dependent on the majority's public consciousness. Instead, it took our deepest fears and our biggest passions and made a business out of them. And if you think about it, fandoms fall quite nicely into this category and premise.

The rise of fandom toxicity begins when we examine the relationship between fiction and reality in the eyes of the fandom initiate. A lot of fandoms are equally inhabited by older fans and newer fans, each with a personal investment tied to the product they consume. This is neither good nor bad. The good or bad is purely dependent on the application of this concept. Pure passion and appreciation are quite productive. Healthy communication is important when discussing these works. The point where that communication becomes hateful is when it turns from simple disagreements into a dick-measuring contest. I can't tell you how many times I've seen harassment that started from one guy being personally offended by a creative choice in a show. It's totally fine to criticize something. But tone and intent definitely matter.

If we're being fully honest with ourselves, the majority of this so-called "criticism" towards the properties we love is primarily rooted in hatred and demanded action.

The goal of a lot of this garbage from the grifters and clout chasers of the internet is not to be constructive but only to demean insult and gatekeep. This is especially prevalent within the media analysis communities on Twitter and YouTube, with the "objectivity" crowd especially falling into that particular hell of vitriol. Objective evidence of things that occur in a film is not an assessment of quality, no matter which way you cut it. It is simply reductive to deny feelings and interpretation solely on the basis that you happened to observe...something as if that means anything definitive. It's not even the fact that the examination of quality is the issue. It's the presentation, a presentation reeking of filth and anger on an unprecedented scale.

Superiority complexes are not exclusive to this particular group, though. Every single person is like this to some degree. Think about the last time you tried to ratio someone over what you considered a "bad" opinion on a film or the times when you've named on someone saying their peace instead of hearing them out. I think that social media, in its infinite wisdom, did not account for a world in which clout and influence became its game. It is so easy now to just make an account, grow a following, and shit on anyone we can think of just because they like a film that we don't.

The horrifying truth is that we all want to have that power, and most would sooner justify the bullying than reflect on the repercussions.

It's not cringe anymore (it SHOULDN'T be cringe anymore), just do it. You're doing something you enjoy, who cares what anybody else says! So spread the words my fellow internet brethren.

Spread the Word :)

Fictional characters are concepts. They do not have rights. They do not have rights to abuse. Writers are, however, real people with rights.
