Okay....so I know this really annoying fandom friend who I'm growing distant from because of how she treats other people.

She's judgey as fuck with my other friends and sometimes she'll even imply that it's hypocritical of them to talk about things in fanfiction they don't like, if they continue to write something she doesn't like. People who ship/write what she doesn't like? She says they "deserve" to get made fun of for writing something "stupid" . ( "If they don't like the reaction, they shouldn't have posted it"). She celebrates when people she doesn't like get hate.

I've tried to talk to her about this but she just gets mad at me for not being on her "side". I'm getting to the point where I don't even want to let them near my other friends. She'll just treat them like crap and they'll have completely valid reasons to be mad at me if I defend her. I would be mad at me if I were them.

Worst of all? It's NEVER her fault. She's my age and she's becoming an immature jerk.

I don't blame you for distancing yourself. She sounds really unpleasant to be around.

It's exhausting really. She used to be fun but she just started changing and becoming mean spirited. She thinks I should be loyal to her but I refuse to enable a bully and if it comes down to that, well I think I know what I'm going to do.

When she grows up and gets her shit together, then I'll be totally happy to talk again.

That's fair, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Sometimes people snap out of it, but sometimes they get so deep into that hole of believing their own nonsense that it's really hard for them to stop. I for one don't think that fandom is about being a judgmental bully who polices everyone else's fandom experience, and I wouldn't want to hang out with anyone who does that because they suck the joy out of life and fandom.

Even if she does grow up in a year or two after you've distanced yourself, don't feel obligated to "be her friend again". If you want to that's fine and dandy, but personally I'd be worried about a repeat and just wash my hands.

Just curious... ho long have you known this person? It could be she's always been this much of a jerk and it's only becoming obvious now.

A little while as we were teens when we met. You're probably right, there,
