I hold my breath when a Gen Z person gets into an old fandom, and especially if they bring their friends, because this generation is very entitled, ageist, and violent towards older fans who were there before them. There's at least a 50/50 chance that they'll throw a temper tantrum and threats when they find out adults in the fandom are writing explicit fanfic. They don't believe in not clicking on 18+ warnings; they think it's their right stop the very existence of fanfiction that makes them uncomfy.

Yup. This.

Also a lot of older fandoms have maturer and more nuanced characters, and they just can't write that.

All I can say is that my own experience has been dramatically different, and that there are good and bad people in every community on every corner of the Internet.

THIS

When Hannibal of all things went on Netflix, there was a nasty infestation of teen antis going postal over the very existence of any kind of NSFW art or fic at all. (Fucking HANNNIBAL.) It came to a horrific head when showrunner Bryan Fuller hit 'like' on some NSFW Hannigram art - consenting adult blowjob, thoroughly tame by the fandom standards - and teens lost their minds, that he was "exposing minors to porn." By clicking 'like.' It was such a shit show The Mary Sue wrote an article about it.

That is just so insane. I never watched Hannibal, but I know that while it's not puppies and sunshine (because cannibalism, duh), the two dudes are full on adults and not related, so the whole "'pro-ship' which translates to 'I ship minors with adults and also incest'" thing is just such a crazy leap.

A lot of antis will claim that they're only against "nasty stuff" like "rape, incest, pedophilia" (their usual unholy trinity), but this incident flat out proved that they're lying about that and it's nothing more than a thin veneer over sheer anti-sex prudery.

Because the art in question was a consensual sex act between full-grown, non-related adults. The kind of thing billions of adults in the real world enjoy on a regular basis. Nothing illegal or immoral about it. And they still had a screaming poo-flinging meltdown over it.
