Usually I find googling -insert fandom- drama of -year- gets some results of someone who had summarized what was going on for others or original postings.

This secret amuses me.

Option 1 - You have the beat luck. You are absolutely killing it. You have surrounded yourself with undramatic, reasonable, yet entertaining people. Go You!

Option 2 - They're vague posting about you.

I hear ya, OP. There is always talk of fandom drama, but I never see it. That's why fandom!wank was so fun (for a while) - you could find the drama!
(But then i got unfun. Meh.)

I think my fandom 'circle' is just very narrow, and I've cultivated the non-dramatic for so long, the dramatic is just...out of reach.

[(Anonymous)]

From my personal experience, it's mostly about who you're following and how often you're around the fandom space/what time you're on.

I miss out on some drama but I have found myself refreshing my tumblr/twitter/YT comments when I stumble into drama and just quietly reading everyone's comments.

I was working graveyard when the "Not So Awesome" TGWTG/Channel Awesome thing went down. I was waiting for work to start and scrolling through Twitter when I began reading Lupa reply to someone asking her about a new Nostalgia Critic episode. She was like, "I'm salty, I don't care anymore" and a lot of former CA creators were coming out with their own "for me, this happened and that was shitty too". I was well fed all night at work when I got the chance check up on my Twitter feed.

I completely missed out on Contrapoints and Lindsay Ellis getting "canceled" but I'm actually glad I missed out on those.

Recently, in my new fandom, there have been a lot of drama popping up day to day. Some days I am right in the middle of it, other days I just see people saying "ugh the drama is too much! I'm tired of it!" And I can't find it anywhere lol

[(Anonymous)]

You might just have different standards for drama.

A few times I've gone to dig up a recent fandom drama I thought I'd missed and then I'm like "Drama? You call that drama? Let me tell you, kids, back in the 90s in Harry Potter fandom we would have called that *Tuesday*."

[(Anonymous)]

I will say it's pretty incredible going back and reading fandom drama from decades past where you can get detailed summaries of it all and everything. It's very entertaining.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe you're too reasonable in your reactions with other fans so you head off drama?

[(Anonymous)]

The drama in my fandom usually comes from private Discord channels that you have to be invited to join.

[meadowphoenix]

for vaugeposting I look at the person's likes, lol. but sometimes the drama just isn't that big and people are just complaining lmao. I've def been guilty of complaining about posts I see on tumblr rather than big drama(tm) lmao.

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

When asked, I always say that I'd like to see more non-western fantasy settings, Asia in particular. And I would! In theory...

But in practice I tend to gravitate towards the same western European fantasy settings. They're familiar and comforting, like a cozy blanket.

It doesn't help that I'm never quite happy with the execution of non-western fantasies I've read. They either sound exactly like western fantasy with different landscapes, or they read like they exist to reflect current (and almost always U.S.-centric) social and racial issues, even if they're not set in the U.S. or its fantasy equivalent.

I know I need to be patient. This subgenre is still growing and the selection is still relatively limited. Of course there are going to be clumsy examples. Genre classics will happen. Old-school fantasy from the 60s and 70s was a mixed bag, too. But it's so hard to wait.

[feotakahari]

I feel like the push towards “African” fantasy flattens things a bit. It’s not like there’s a singular culture or mythology that covers all “Africans.” Some of these books and games seem very different from each other in terms of the source material they’re drawing from.

(Aside from anime and the occasional Southeast Asian horror game, my main exposure to Asian fantasy has been China’s “cultivator” genre, which I do not like at all.)

I think it just seems to most people like there's a lot more bad, or at least boring and banal, CGI compared to how much boring or bad practical effects there were.

People can go into arguments about why that is until the cows come home (and I'm sure that at least some of it is survivorship bias) but at the end of the day, that's pretty much the reason that the perception exists: because there's a lot of movies and TV shows where people don't find the CGI work satisfying.

That dress looks like it was designed for a "Golden Ratio" kind of body type. I think that's why it looks so off on other body types.

LOL. Sorry, OP. I actually love the fictional Warrens, but I think of them as just that.

I like content warning, also retroactively. I am not a fan of the people who want certain books off the shelves, but I feel like (even retroactively) writing content warnings could solve the same issue.
