Meanwhile, I'll never understand how people can devote so much time to just hating on something. Eh, different strokes I guess.

I don't think there's been a fandom big enough but with terrible enough source material that it attracts a hatedom since Fifty Shades. I don't think they're non existent now, or outmoded, I think there just isn't anything that makes a fun enough target right now.

I co-modded a fanfic "book club" for a few years, back in the LJ days. We would rec about one fic per week for the book club's followers to read, and then we would discuss it over the course of that week. Ideological bigotry/prejudice wasn't allowed, and everyone who participated made the effort to keep their comments civil, and to keep the discussion about the fic not the author, but beyond that everyone's honest opinions were always welcome.

It was rad, and I have wished for a book club like that in every single fandom I've been in since. I've never tried to start one, though, because in the current fandom climate, and with tumblr essentially being the main hub, and with tumblr functioning how it does, it would be a recipe for disaster.

This brought me back to the summer of 2019 when the entire GoT fandom turned into a Hatedom.

I've gotten pretty good at laying the scene and explaining the context of my gripes to my loved ones.

Ooo! I want to read this now and practice my (terribly poor, still a pre-beginner animation skills -- yes, using programs like pencil to do frame by frame, hand drawn lol) drawings!

I love these books, an adaptation in the style of Miyazaki would be wonderful.

I don't have Twitter, but I deleted my Facebook. It was a little hard at first, but now I feel great about it because I don't have to deal with crazy nonsense.

[(Anonymous)]

It's such a good feeling!

I HAVE to stay on social media because I don't have any friends much online or IRL. 🤷🏼‍♀️😳😬

Twitter can be a very very toxic place but I don't understand how it can become a perpetual drama feed for people, yes, I know it happens, but there's plenty of tools to curate your experience there like blockchains, muting, making your account private and so on. Congrats on the freedom and moving on, I figure it's a great time saver to not endlessly scroll through it as well.

I took a huge twitter break for a while. I just couldn't do it.

I find myself using it more now, but mostly just to broadcast my thoughts or upcoming plans for writing posting/youtube stuff. (Nothing huge like, I'm not going to grumble about R&C Rift's Apart for instance.) And I'm not going through the "home" or "Friends" feed.

I'm surprised I still get likes really.

Well, you do you, OP. Glad you feel good!

I like my Twitter. I like getting political news and seeing what's going on in DC and the states re: laws, voting, etc.

I block asshats and don't follow the weird pages and mostly just groove to NPR and AOC and whatnot.

The Netflix show did some interesting things with race and culture; perhaps if it gets as far as these two books, they'll delve into things in more detail.

Also: Zoya. My God, I hope they do these books for her sake.
