If it was writing community twitter, I am honestly not surprised.

Writing community twitter is, if you can get them to discuss anything other than writing technique or the lastest romance genre scandals, very conservative. Yes, I know there are lots of authors on twitter who profess they're part of the gay community and wanting diversity and so on. A lot that came across my dash, and it could have been my dash I'll admit, was very... judgemental.

Which is why I left writing community twitter or at least, don't participate anymore. I want to discuss ideas and characters and fun worlds. Not technique and being judged about character/ship dynamics and if they have to be portrayed as explicitly bad IN TEXT or not. It's like, people have lost all critical thinking and judgement. (Also, it's boring. I don't care. Just. Go Write. Stop trying to get people to validate your technique views and write.) Sometimes, you can't expound upon a throw away idea on twitter without the original idea person screaming about copyright and stealing. (You cannot copyright a pun/book title/idea. We were having fun. Way to squash the fun. Good bye.)

And I've talked to young authors in their early 20s and TRIED to get through to them that old fandom scandals are going to echo in the traditional publishing community (and actually are) and their response is usually "I don't know about that" and don't see why it is important.

Eventually the pendulum will swing back to YKINMK. Hopefully it won't take too long.

I hope fandom will find a happy medium between what it was then and is now.
