Dear live-action TV fen,

[(Anonymous)]

You are not the most important fandom. All media fandoms are equally important, even if yours is the most popular and generates the most fanworks.

You are not interchangeable with fandom as a whole. It may amaze you to learn that there are people in fandom who don't give a shit about live-action TV and are more into books or cartoons or video games.

People who are more interested in books/cartoons/video games/etc. than live-action TV are not losers with no lives. They are not socially maladjusted just because they don't get fannish over the same things that you do, nor are they all prententious snobs who look down on you for not getting fannish over the same things they do.

It is okay for people to not be interested in your fandoms. No one absolutely NEEDS to watch SPN or GoT or Breaking Bad or Glee or any of your other favourite shows to truly understand fandom. People who have never seen a single episode of your favourite show, or couldn't get past the first few episodes, or loved it for a few seasons and then gave up on it have just as much of a right to be in fandom as you do.

People who aren't interested in live-action TV, or have different standards than yours, have a right to their opinions just as much as you do. They are not "missing out" because they don't care about TV, or because they experience it differently from how you do.

Sincerely, a bitter nerd.

I will say that television shows (for the most part) airing at the same time, or at least the same evening, for most people in a country means there more of an immediacy to talking about it, thus making it seem more like an "Oh my god, we all need to be talking about this" experience than other fandoms.

That's not to say that's it's better, but it's such a different way of experiencing it from most other types of media.

That's not exclusive to TV fandoms, though. The same thing happens with webcomics that have sizeable fandoms. Admittedly, webcomics rarely have readerships that come anywhere near to approaching the size of TV fandoms - the only one that comes to mind is Homestuck. Still, there's that same immediate response that comes after an update, even if it's on a much smaller scale.

May I add that if you're into popular live-action shows and movies but you "side-eye" fans of comics, anime, and video games because for liking "that misogynist trash," you are a hypocrite with no self-awareness.
