One of my friends got into the fandom of a really popular tv series and it's weird how intense it can get based off of what they've told me about the fandom. I sometimes I wonder if people join fandoms to filter their negativity towards something. Because it sounds like my friend and their fandom will always find something to be angry about. If it's not the show runners fucking up, it's the actors, if it's not the actors it's the anti/pro shippers/shippers hating each other. And it's like, wow, why do people hate what they like so much?

Whenever I've been in fandoms for currently airing and popular shows: yeah it's pretty much always that bad, it's why I always carved out a small section for myself and liberally blocked/muted anyone who even vaguelly annoyed me because it didn't matter what the show would do people would bitch and moan at every turn. And that's not like I haven't watched shows where I've disliked an arc or character choices, but that's not what I see in most show fandoms tbh, it's just endless moaning and I do not care to engage with it.

I don't know if it's the difference in culture (I've been consuming mostly asian media since 2019) or a change in fan culture (or both), but holy shit there's so much entitlement. So-called fans seem to have the idea that if they're a fan of someone then that person has to do EXACTLY what the "fan" likes all the time. Or if the actor is recorded doing something the "fan" doesn't like, such as wearing a specific color to run an errand, then the actor has been lying to everyone and is a horrible person. Or, more recently in my fandom, their production company is abusing them!11!eleventy.

Like, what? Just. what????? Go outside and touch some goddamned grass. Maybe smoke some, too, cause y'all need to calm the fuck down.

I started watching cdramas regularly a few years ago and occasionally some Youtubers I follow mention fan reactions from Chinese netizens and it's like... whaaaaaaat. It's crazy how much control fans think they ought to have over actors. Shaming them for gaining weight? Having a boyfriend/girlfriend? Something innocuous they posted on Weibo that they didn't like and now they expect the actor to apologize? Throwing tantrums over who should have top billing in a cdrama? And then there's the crazy shit of stalking them by attaching GPS locators to their cars and showing up at their house or something.

It's not even purity police stuff, it's... they expect a star to be perfect at all times. To look perfect, dress perfectly, always be available for public interaction, never say a word out of place, never support the "wrong" thing or behave even remotely irresponsibly, never date anyone, etc. etc. Batshit crazy.
