Everytime I see that "fandom is worse now because all the POPULAR KIDS got into it" post or any of the bajillion similar ones I die a little on the inside. You all sound like a 34 year old white cishet self identified gamer scoffing about how "all these girls pretend to like anime when IN MY TIME they would have bullied me for being a nerd" before he goes on to watch 4 more videos from a youtuber who participated in gamergate.

#complaining and whining about fandom #'fandom is ruined because thE POPULAR KIDS-' unless you are literally in highschool right now this language is beneath you #highschool cliques are not eternally applicable. grow up.#get a better framework for reality #also the more i learn about fandom history the more i realize the folks waxing poetic about the old fandom days are either a) LYING #or b) oblivious to all the horrible shit because they were 14 at the time #oh puritanism in fandom? thats new? yeah NO ONE moralized about gay kinky sex in the 90s and early 2000s. do you hear yourself.#the satanic panic was still going on in the 90s for fuck's sake #people used to accuse the h-p books of glorfying satan and luring children into witchcraft!#stop your weird RETVRN fantasy about a past fandom that does not exist #and start looking at the problems you can solve in your communities in the here and now
