...except that attitude is clearly prevalent here, too. And in other fandom spaces, like groups on facebook and at at least some meet-ups and conventions.

LOL, and you think F!S is "real life" do you?

Fandom spaces draw people looking for a community they don't get in real life because real life would judge the ever loving fuck out of them for it ("20+ and still watching cartoons/reading comics, wtf's wrong with you you creepy weirdo?"). Does it really baffle you that hard that people behave differently in their percieved safe spaces precisely BECAUSE they can't do that virtually anywhere else?

Hence "maybe it's just a fandom thing?" Apparently, the answer is yes. Now I wonder how much of it is because people like you can't comprehend what you see and read.

Because it's not a "fandom thing", it's a community and safe spaces thing.

Plenty of people into fandom have no connection whatsoever to thinspo/fatshaming/body positivity. Plenty of people who are involved in those things have nothing to do with fandom. Body positivity is a movement, it's not a "fandom".

People on Tumblr =/= everyone into fandom 100%.

I just want to add the whole "The internet is NOT real life" thing. Probably the most obvious is when I was sitting in a waiting room and the two secretaries were loudly having a conversation on "Why do some people act so retarded? That's so retarded." And people were either agreeing or just not paying attention.

Try saying the R word on tumblr, I dare you.

But real life? Nah, who cares?
