It's a legit question. The things they describe aren't new. It was like that when fandom was on LJ, it was like that when fandom was on message boards and usenet, it was like that when fandom was all zines and cons.

I mean, in some ways, fandom isn't even all that crazy right now. Nothing on tumblr has topped the childish insanity of early-aughts adult HP fandom, for example.

I hear this a lot, but as someone who was in HP in the early aughts, I don't get it. Drama was much easier to avoid back then. Moderated communities kept the crazy at bay. Nowadays it's hanging out all over the place.

Whereas I find it easier to avoid drama on tumblr. Found a few good people to follow early on, then stopped going into the tags. I don't see any of the stuff people elsewhere are always complaining about.

I've never been able to get beyond surface level on tumblr. Probably because surface level is so off-putting. And tumblr is where fandom lives, so I basically just don't interact in fandom anymore. I read and write fic and hang out here, and that's about it.
