Re: What Was The Single Most Devastating Moment In Fandom For You?

The day one BNF in my fandom basically split the fandom into 'evil' people who critiscised them and 'good' people who didn't, and went on to take all the 'good' people into their own private community where, from what I hear, they formed a 'cult of personality'.
At the time I didn't share the details of their behind the scenes harassment of multiple people, thinking that would be dragging people into the drama, but now it feels like if I'd been more open about how much of an ass they were maybe things would be better.

Sounds like my experience in reverse, heh.

It's possible being truthful about what you saw would've changed things, or maybe it would've only postponed the inevitable. Anyone who willingly goes on to form a cult of personality doesn't sound like anyone I'd nominate to stay behind.

I was thinking more about sparing the ones that followed them into the cult. One person escaped and told me about their experiences.

Oh, I see. Yes, I suppose a few likely believed it was a good thing at first, possibly not knowing the extent of the crazy.

And with no way to learn otherwise, they still will. :(
