Sad to break it to you, but the people were always the same. Even before so-called special snowflakes trying to differentiate themselves by gender identity or victim status, it was a fight between the outcasts to be the most self-harming or most emo or most goth or the greatest master of some obscure geeky knowledge or whatever.

The labels change but people stay the same.

I dunno...as someone who self-harmed this comment irks me. I'm not saying no-one in the history of humanity ever did bit for attention,but the equal it to special snowflakeness sort of sucks. Because there are reasons people do that that have nothing to do with being cool on tumnblr.

Back in the day nobody tried to make themselves seem special at all. It was just understood that we were weird and we didn't fit in with the normal kids and finally we were among our own kind who enjoyed the geeky entertainment.


It's true that people competed to try to be the super-fan of the world by knowing ever more obscure trivia but it wasn't a personal statement of who they were.

But nowadays it's sometimes more like group therapy that happens to also like a certain TV show.

10 years ago mental illness weren't the new hotness and you didn't have tons of kids self diagnosing themselves with at least 5 mental illness. I don't give a shit about people identifying as trees or whatever bullshit they come up with, but this mental illness fad bothers the fuck out of me.

so theyre not social outcasts? and they come to fandom to find others like them who like the same stuff?

are they shoving this into your face? does a too-long string of descriptors really piss on your experience

(Anonymous) 2016-09-16 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it pisses on their experience. They can't police or control it for themselves. That's always the theme of these types of posts. "omg special snowflakes suck, fandom isn't my sekrit nerd club anymoar!" Because clearly no one else who WANTS to be included and not made to feel like shit about who they are could NEVER be a real nerd.

Shitty gatekeeping, nothing more.

I'm curious about your definition of social outcast. I wouldn't think those special snowflakes you're not including in it are the popular kids.

What are you talking about. How are you seriously conflating a dumb 'nerds v cool kids' narrative with a dumb anti-Tumblr narrative. Do you think the people you're complaining about aren't social outcasts? Do you think there weren't furries and otherkin on the Internet before 2008? Do you generally have any idea what you're talking about?

So basically you just want a specific brand of social outcast and nerd that you don't have to put effort into empathising with.

Unless you're a visitor from a very strange parallel dimension where otherkin, nonbinary people, and abuse survivors make up the it crowd, it sounds to me like you're just butthurt that people who are bigger outcasts than you perceive yourself to be have been allowed in.

Lmao fandom is filled with lgbt people, (that seems to be who you're mostly targeting in this secret) because they're still considered social outcasts in much of the world, dummy.

If you're gonna try to be edgy and make a troll secret, at least put some thought into it.

How does this shit even works? Half of them negate the others. I've seen a girl who identified as "aromantic asexual lesbian non-binary trans" before but I was too afraid to ask.

Remember when days when fandom was not full with SJWs and Special Snowflakes. Just full with dumb, cute, cringey, and scary LJ communities and people sharing things. And you could avoid people's personal journals and just stick to the communities. Tumblr was a mistake.

It... sounds like you're describing some social outcasts right there, OP. And if they're in a fandom, they're probably also some flavor of nerd.

Oh come on, fandom secrets loves to trot out The FF7 House when appropriate, and no one's going to bring it up NOW that all that weird cult stuff went down in 2002?

So how long ago was fandom populated by the 'cool outcasts' and not the 'weird outcasts'?

(Anonymous) 2016-09-17 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I miss fandom as it was ~20 years ago where fewer people had access to the internet and space seemed smaller and the average was higher (I was one of the youngest at 15). No lie, it got me through my teenage years relatively unscathed.

Fandom is very different now. I can only manage to be on the periphery these days. Partly I probably have a lower tolerance, but interests are different now as well and I don't have the energy. But I do still miss the conversations we used to have; never found anywhere quite like that first fandom.
