I don't blame you, OP. I wish I could say the same thing but in my experience, I feel I could never actually experience the Sailor Moon fandom one way into another without hearing some batshit story about someone...

Same. I've always been on the edge/"fringe" of SM fandom ever since I was a kid (in that I never got involved with discussion or fanworks with others), but I've heard some rather... interesting stories about certain people/groups that make me raise an eyebrow. But from my experience, it's not the most batshit fandom out there -especially as far as an anime one goes-, but I'm sure there's much more lurking under the surface if I wanted to look hard enough.

That said, I've kind of been underwhelmed by SMC thus far (it looks nice most of the time, though), but maybe it'll be better in a binge watch-y way once the season/series is completely done and in the can.

Do you mean the story about that manipulative cosplayer who thought she was actually Usagi? I remember that one from the good ol' days...

That, and the entire, twisted odyssey between Miss Dream (a fansub group) and some guy who was clearly not right in the head (I think this guy also had a fansub group, but also stole fan fic and fan art from people and refused to take it down from his site). I observed that going down a few years back from the sidelines -via Fandom Wank, mostly- and it was ugly. Don't know if there's any write-up of it anywhere... might be something still on LiveJournal, I dunno.

But the manipulative cosplayer mess? That I think takes the cake as far as batshit zaniness in Salior Moon fandom goes.

original anon (not op)

there's still remnants of the thread on sailor moon fansubs forums (i can pm you if you want), not to mention nangbaby is still around. :\

also, i've dealt with a couple moonies that are... not....all there, if you catch my drift. they're good people otherwise but just some people that i feel that i would take on their problems, when i'm already dealing with a lot of shit as it is.
