Re: Petty fandom rants

I got into a new fandom and from the source material and nothing else, came up with a theory that I was sure the entire fandom had also caught onto and maybe even considered canon. Then I look at the fandom and... no mention of it. It's not even on the TV Tropes WMG page, which led me to believe I might actually be the first one to think of it.

But I have no fandom presence, so if I posted it on any of my SM accounts, nobody would see it. So I kept it to myself. Then a few days later someone else had a lightbulb moment and posted "OH MY GOD YOU GUYS WHAT IF______" and it was my theory! And it got attention. We may never find out if it's true or not, but it makes sense and I'm bitter that I missed my chance to at least get it out on the internet first. Even if nobody saw it when I posted it, I could've at least had a timestamp for posterity if it ever comes true.

And as the icing on the cake, the person who posted the theory that got attention is an anti.

Uggghhh, that sucks! It reminded me of how several seasons ago, I was the first to come up with a certain theory for one of my fandoms, and posted about it on a forum. But by the time my theory was proven correct, the forum had undergone some updates and all the posts before a certain date were deleted so I had no proof that I was right, lol.

And there have been a handful of times recently where someone said something factually wrong about the canon on a platform where I didn't have an account so I wasn't able to say anything, or I did have an account but didn't see it until several days later and no one would've noticed if I had said something. So frustrating! (Probably just as well because most people don't like being told they're wrong and it probably would've caused drama.)
