Re: Has fandom changed much in the past 10 years?

[(Anonymous)]

I'd say I've been in fandom for close to 20 years, though with the caveat that the first couple of years were viewed from the perspective of a child.

There are loads more people in fandom now. Not every kid my age even had a dial-up connection; now everyone has a smartphone. Fannish things are just a lot more mainstream too, so that also ups the accessibility. When it felt more like an exclusive club, people were more... permissive, or at least faked it to fit in. There weren't as many people posting things online, so anything you posted went. With more people coming in, they bring their biases, expectations of norms... people seem both more naive and easily shocked, but now it's fine to be judgmental.

I could have written this myself. I first came to online fandom in 1998 when I was 15. Communities were so much smaller and like you say, felt more exclusive. My fandom was also male dominated, so being female made me stand out more. I don't think that's the case anymore. We didn't really do shocking in our community though (fanfic was primarily gen, very little art).
