man, we used to have so many _wank communities. where was this nonsense free time everyone's reminiscing about?

[pantswarrior]

Oh there was always wank, yes. And the funny stuff (as opposed to the dumb/depressing stuff) was easier to document and laugh about in the LJ format, IMO.

[(Anonymous)]

There's always been wank, but I do think wank functions differently on modern social media. The scale of wank is totally different compared to what it used to be.

[(Anonymous)]

The wank didn't trigger an algorithm back then.

[(Anonymous)]

This! And it tended to stay in fandom, rather than becoming the business of the entire platform.

[pantswarrior]

Yes yes yes to both of these. Some people might end up looking foolish, but you know, I have met fandom-adjacent people, even, who bought Cassandra Clare's books and had no idea why I started stifling laughter when they were mentioned. Fandom was good at keeping the wank to itself, now everything at the very least has the potential to go viral.

ayrt

Yep! And then hundreds or thousands of people who don't know the context just have to stick their oar in.

Wank communities were for laughing at people being wanky about stupid things. If an someone acted like an antishipper, for instance, they would get put on a wank community and laughed at by the rest of fandom for acting like fictional characters have rights that need protecting. Nobody would defend them. They might throw a fit and flounce, and either stay away until they matured a bit or come back and try again only to be laughed away again. That's how it should be.

they really didn't, there are entire communities of "antis" in the harry potter fandom for instance. y'all are just old and refuse to acknowledge that nostalgia exists. learn to curate your online experience grandma

You haven't been in fandom long, child. Things have indeed changed a lot, and not for the better. Curating your experience doesn't help when some teenaged assholes decide to doxx you because they don't like your fic.
