Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:

2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it!

Re: In the good ol' days of fandom...

[(Anonymous)]

There's a perception around here that saying "wahhh things were so much better in the good ol' days!" is stupid and erroneous and based more on rose-tinted memories than realism.

I don't have any specific examples but I actually disagree with this in general.

The thing is, it's just as wrong as saying everything was better back in the day. There's no law of the universe saying that things are always going to improve. Some things improve, some things don't, and we have to evaluate them on a piece by piece basis. Yes there are a lot of ways in which things are unquestionably better nowadays, but rejecting the idea of the past having been good in some ways is not correct.
