#that usually devolved to bashing characters involved in the ship you didn't like

[lunar-years]

What are they bitching about? Is it shippers? I hate sounding like an oldie with the whole "back in my day" thing, but I miss the days of fandom where if your ship didn't become canon, you mostly didn't expect it would, and anyway, thats what fanfiction is for. I know there were some Tbecca shippers in particular who were VERY vocally displeased that it wasn't canon

honestly in typical twitter fashion everyone starts yelling at one another without giving full context on anything so idk the details of what happened, and I'd rather not dive deeper. From what I've seen, it appears like there wasn't a specific interaction that caused it, and so I don't want to target a specific group of fans. Who knows, maybe it has nothing to do with fans and he deleted for personal reasons. Apparently, he was blocking a bunch of fans a week or two back because people were still being out-of-pocket about the ending not being to their liking, and there was a certain pocket of the fandom straight up harassing the man after his reddit AMA answers.... (I didn't like all of his answers either, so I made one annoyed tumblr post about it and then moved on with my life. Like??? it isn't hard to find a space to vent without being nasty directly to others, cmon.)

Idk how far back we're going with old fandoms, but every fandom I've been in has had a certain level of wacky behavior tbh 😂. the biggest shift I've noticed in recent years is moving away from inter-fandom "ship wars" (thank god, or maybe I've just better learnt to mind my business and stay in my corners lol) to directing anger about ships, storylines, and whatever else at the creators themselves and especially the writers, and as you said, feeling entitled to what they want to happen actually happening on the show. Which, again, I also cry "bad writing!!" all the time, like I'm not pretending to be a fandom saint, but there's a way to do it without tweeting out hatred to the artists.... 🤷‍♀️ at the end of the day it's their show and they get to write whatever tf they want, just like how i can open my little word doc and write whatever EYE want!! in a way that isn't super unhinged, weird & mean!!
