Every large, old fandom has these people, which is why these days I just watch Doctor Who and don't participate in the fandom. I can enjoy or dislike different parts of a big universe on my own without being told what I "should" hate and why.

I've notice it happening more ever since someone pointed out that whenever some kind of controversy calls out Disney, Disneys usually follows it up with dropping a trailer/new release of something - a lot of it being Star Wars related - and I think there's those who have convinced themselves to be justified in getting mad at Star Wars/fans with that in mind.

[dancingmouse]

Star Wars has one of the most whiniest, unpleasable Fandoms I've ever seen. You can quote me on that too.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a big fandom. I'm sure you can find a corner of it to enjoy and mute/block/ignore the rest.

[(Anonymous)]

Not Star Wars, but with another fandom of mine fans are similar towards anything new. So symphaties!

[lumy12]

I like it all too... there's nothing I've seen that I hate... but I understand the fatigue thing. I'm the weirdo who doesn't marathon TV shows because for me it's BETTER to wait a week to watch the next episode -- I enjoy it more that way than if I cram it all in as fast as I can and forget most of it a week later. So waiting a year or two or three between movies didn't bother me. Now it seems like there's something new before the LAST thing even stops being new... maybe I'm just old :)

That said, I am SUPER excited about the Obi-Wan series. And it's been a while since I could say that!

[killnotic]

Replace Star Wars (although it's still included) with Marvel, or DC, and any other sci-fi and fantasy property, and I'll tell you I feel exactly the same. Are they all masterpieces? No, some of them are straight garbage, but I've been a fan of these genres for decades because I love them, warts and all. I don't think it's possible for me to ever get tired of them.

[(Anonymous)]

It's easy not to be burned out if you've only bothered with the theatrical films and haven't been trying to consume ALL of it.

[amalthia]

Agreed! Also, still super excited for the Obi-Wan TV show and I'm having a blast with the Mandalorian.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah during the pandemic I got back into a fandom I'd fallen out with years ago, and I'm starting to think it was a big mistake lol. Oh well.

God, 8tracks was fun. I never even waded into the fandom aspect of it, it was just SO GOOD for that old mixtape feeling.

I am contractually obligated to mention that Grisha means Greg and she made a universe of wizards named Greg.

One, I agree that it was a good decision for this movie not to go there and I really liked those characters having a platonic friendship.

Two, this strikes me as one of those things where there's no good answer, where the real problem is just that there's such a small proportion of movies with Asian leads in the first place. And so every movie that does get released with an Asian lead has to bear an enormous weight of representation. There should be lots of movies with Asian romantic leads and Asian main characters in platonic relationships. It's artificial scarcity.

The older ones seem to understand IRL. They’re just bizarrely specific about which dynamics they will and won’t read. (“These people’s fantasies are bizarrely specific, and they won’t read or watch anything that deviates even slightly” is a phenomenon in everything from MtF transformation porn to fandom of the actual Digimon series.)

How was your day?

[kaijinscendre]

I put in my two week's notice. Cried while talking to my boss. Cried on the way home. Occasionally crying now. So it has been stressful.
