But what about new fans who are assholes to older fans? The comment above about Hannibal reflects stuff going on in other fandoms too.

It's consistent with my experience in several older fandoms that got an influx of young fans recently. The problem isn't young/new fans' squeeing enthusiasm or lack of knowledge of canon minutiae. It's their bossiness, cruelty, and puritanism combined with their misogynistic/ageist hate of older women (mommy issues on display), and their sense of entitlement (all those icky people who do fandom a way I don't like should go away because I SAY SO).

I WELCOME squeeing enthusiasm. As long as it doesn't come with the always-unpleasant-and-unwelcome traits above. Unfortunately, all too often it does.

And let's be honest, Fandom of Yore was no kind, friendly space necessarily. I still remember sporking communities and the Godawful Fan Fiction Forum, and truly nasty ship wars that got people doxxed and all that. Gatekeeping was rampant then too.

I don't remember nearly as many completely bogus accusations of pedophilia, though. That was really rare up until about 5 or 6 years ago.
