I don't even notice Britishisms in Stranger Things fandom, because I'm too distracted by the characters using phrases that no one had ever even conceived of before the year 2015

I'm distracted in many fandoms by 50-year-olds playing Super Mario with their friends.

Why? I'm 48 and I play Super Mario games with my friends and family. I would have been about 10 when the first games came out.

SA, I mean it's out of character in this particular canon and feels like something the author enjoys versus what the characters would do.

I like gaming too. It's just not applicable to all characters.

I have never seen this in fandom and granted I’m only 46 but most of my friends are 5-10 years older than me and we absolutely play Super Mario Brothers and a lot of other games from our childhood/teen years. Gen X didn’t grow up, we just got older. Half of my circle didn’t have kids and the other half that did still have loads of toys and video games that are theirs and off limits to their kids. When we get together we play with all that stuff the same as we did in the late 80s.
(Which probably sounds kinda sad to some people, I know my dad thinks it’s weird and depressing, but I’m happier than he ever was lol)

DA

Toys, I get, because kids can and will often destroy anything you give them. But I don’t personally get not sharing video games you like from your childhood with your kids. I’m probably just biased because my dad was always huge into video games since they were invented in the 70s, and we would always play together or watch each other play since my early childhood. He collected so many different consoles and games, and they were always meant to be shared with me when I came over. It’s one of the biggest ways we bonded. And several of my nieces, nephews, and little cousins are fascinated by the consoles that I still have from my childhood, and like to play games with me. From my NES, to my Sega Saturn, to my GameCube and my PlayStations 1 & 2, they’re fascinated by the “retro-ness” of my childhood games. Which makes me happy, and I like sharing them like my dad did before me.

As I said, I can’t help but come at this from a place of bias, so I’m not saying all parents should share their video games just because I like to. My personal feelings aside, I know what it’s like to want to keep your most important possessions to yourself, even if I don’t feel that way about video games personally. And I especially know what it’s like to keep something to yourself that you worked hard to buy, as I worked extra for allowance as a kid, and worked jobs as teen to buy what I wanted.

Also, I don’t think it’s weird or sad at all for you and your friends to play with

Also, I don’t think it’s weird or sad at all for you and your friends to play with all the stuff that you enjoyed in the 80s. That sounds like a great time!

Oh, yeah, I had to backbutton over a character saying 'shipping', because *I was there when that one was coined*.

Really love finding fans who were at least *born* in the 80s writing fic. I only really care about the older teens and adults and not the kids, when it comes to fanworks, so that helps weed out stuff written by younger teens, but I mean there are still going to be 20-somethings who don't try.
