Name the fandom. And repeats, etc.

Hmm, not sure if troll secret or not...

I do miss the days when it was assumed by default that if you were on the internet you were over eighteen. Any hint that someone was under eighteen and they got bounced from the moderated sites, and shunned on the unmoderated ones. Everyone made the effort, I know I did since I was very underaged and did not want anyone to work that out.

For a couple years now I've made a point of steering clear of any fandom that has a big portion of kids in it. Great decision. Way fewer antis and petty bullshit.

[(Anonymous)]

+ infinity.

I'm an adult who prefers the company of other adults, and I'm here for my own fun, not to do unpaid babysitting.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah when people got a bit trigger-happy with suspecting everyone over 25 as a pedo ("because why else would adult want to be into fandoms?" ¬_¬) - I became more wary and started blocking anyone under 20 if they tried to follow me on my main account. My only exception is my fanworks side-blogs on Tumblr since its usually strictly about the fandom and nothing too personal about myself, so I don't care.

[(Anonymous)]

I really don't think that age is always a good determinant. There was a 60 year old fan who threw a whiny shitfest in a fandom discord I'm in, fwiw.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, they may act like adults or may not. But the main thing is there's a less chance of them claiming you're a predator by interacting with them.

Not entire chance, though. There's been an uptick of "helpless 25 year old minor" type discourse in fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, it just doesn't help that I have many fandoms that have at least some younger fans on them, making it harder to avoid them, but I feel a lot more comfortable expressing myself in adult-only spaces, even when I'm not expressing anything 18+.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you secret maker!

Yeah, I feel like we used to assume fandom was dominated by the older set and now the assumption is that it was created for 12 year olds.

There might not be less drama, but it feels like less drama because it's all drama I've seen before and I know we're all in the same weight class.

I think it's the result of the acknowledgment they have in regards to how their work impacts people. Like, I think it's the fact contemporary creators no longer just read fan letters, but can read from people all across the LGBT spectrum and of different cultures and background, that makes them realize and even empathize with a lot of their problems. That, and being better informed about these problems than people were in the past.

I made a habit of reading golden-age science fiction in order to educate myself on the genre, and some of their authors had... extreme ideas (Robert Heinlein and Larry Niven coming to mind). Though sometimes I wonder if it was the result of their own upbringing and limited outlook at their times, compared to the things we are aware of now. Though in our case, it can be arguably worse with the (at times unintentional) media bubbles internet algorythms create.

I should look into this, I'm interested in reading things that take her side. She wasn't the one who took marriage vows, you know?

She gives me the same vibes as Sarah Silverman or Amy Sedaris. (Google says she’s Wendie Malick, who I’m not familiar with.)

She wasn’t even the worst Anne who policed fanworks. Though to be fair, McCaffrey’s been dead for . . . Ten years, wow.
