Things you've learned because of...

Things you've learned because of or through fandom---not limited to shows, movies, books, fanfic, or other fan related media--even here!

I'll give it a go--
On a personal level, certain characters (as expanded through fanfic) have helped me through my teenage years and becoming more confident in myself. Many books, movies and tv shows have provided reassurance in my life, I constantly look toward LOTR and POTC to remind me of the adventure my life could be if I participate in my own life.

For laughs: I also have learned quite a bit about sex and the like through fandom/fanfic. The horrors my young mind were exposed to. And apparently the dredges get deeper!

What about you fs?

Seriously? Yeah, lot about sex, like the stuff you don't get in your basic sex ed (anal, oral, kinks, the safe, sane consensual stuff.

Also some stuff about American culture.

I taught myself how to play piano because I wanted to play songs from Newsies and LotR.

The Simpsons taught me the meaning of the word "octogenarian."

I was about 12 at the time.

I did a ton of research on tracking and wildness survival for a monster of a fic. That got me interested in backpacking and search & rescue in real life too.

that I was gay

I knew what a clitoris was at 11 because of a fanfic. I went on to learn more about sex from an educational ecchi manga. It was a pretty lucky thing that those things depicted consensual relationships, and the forum for the manga was surprisingly mature, and there was even an user who was a doctor (at least according to him) who gave advise to people.

For the most part, kinky shit from fanfiction. It's all theoretical but I know a good deal about kinky sex terminology.

Outside of the typical kink and sex stuff, I'd say a lot of what I learned about the military - the good and the bad - came through fandom, either reading/watching canonical materials, reading well-researched fanfic, or doing my own research for fanfic.
