I bet that the movie theaters will be sold out, so it'll feel like a party atmosphere even if you're among strangers. And that many people will be older, those who like Taylor but couldn't (or just wouldn't) afford the live concerts.

[(Anonymous)]

Aren't most of her fans in their 30s by this point?

[(Anonymous)]

I don’t think you’ll be the only 30-something in the theater, OP. Taylor Swift has cross-generational appeal and I’m sure there will be people of all ages at the theater.

I don’t follow Taylor Swift, so I don’t know if her tour’s still ongoing, but I highly recommend going to a concert on your own in the future. I’m usually kinda shy and introverted, but I have an easier time talking to strangers at concerts because we’re all fans and it’s easy to find topics of conversation.

"it's unrealistic for them not to get together"

I feel like anyone who says things like this has literally never left their basement or interacted with other human beings in their life. It's completely normal for men and women to be friends and not want it to turn romantic?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's unrealistic for a man and a woman who are close to stay friends rather than get together romantically.

At the same time, I am sad about the shift away from romance. I love romantic subplots, and I've really been missing them.

I also feel like there's a correlation between the ubiquity of porn and the death of romantic subplots (and I've been in conversations where people have explicitly said things along the lines of, "I don't want sex in movies. That's what porn is for"), and that makes me really, really uneasy. I think it was healthier for us to see sexual attraction as part of a larger narrative involving genuine human connection than it is for us to see it as disembodied and transactional. And that's not even getting into the fact that free porn sites are filled with films that have been uploaded without the consent of those in them, or that depict actual, real-life rape and abuse (and the CEO of the company behind PornHub has said that they don't care to really fix the issue, because it makes them money).

Sorry, this isn't really about Ezra and Sabine, just thoughts I've been having on the death of romantic subplots.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I like platonic male/female relationships in media.
But I also do miss really good romances built from mutual respect and growth from a platonic place.

This secret rocks. I couldn't comment on it yesterday cause I had a migraine. Those triangle boobs were famous in a lot of people's minds, lol. Thank you for sharing.

Eh. Sometimes a comment is so dumb or obviously in bad faith that you don't feel like laying out a reasonable argument for your point of view. Because there's little point in doing so for someone who's too much of an idiot to listen/understand, or simply more interested in putting the worst spin on something for Reasons.

And of course, many people don't feel like feeding the troll.

Yeah - I think commenters assume that they're talking to the secret maker but you can also have conversations with other commenters about the secret. Which won't happen if you just say "troll" and move on.

troll.
Terfy is not a word and the only unhinged anon is the TERF!anon.

LOL no, FS is dying because the demographic that still uses DW isn’t as excited or invested in fandom anymore. Most of the active FSers of ten years ago aren’t even in fandom anymore and the fans that came later got their start on Tumblr or Twitter.

We’ve been maintaining around the same level of engagement for YEARS. And the secret makers are a huge part of the community’s endurance, we’d be lost without them or Case. But you’re kidding yourself if you think that if people engage the way you want them to, FS will magically explode with activity.

[ariakas]

Sometimes people really are just trolling though. This isn't Twitter, the algorithm isn't going to recommend FS closer to the top of the feed because more comments drive "engagement" lmao

I said this here before but nobody responded to it so I may be wasting my time but I can't help noticing that in general, American Red Dwarf fans tended to think of Lister as the main character but Brit Red Dwarf fans tended to see Rimmer as the main character (I'm guessing before he left, but other TV shows have had the main guy leave)
