I think I can more or less understand where OP is coming from if we're talking about something that is just too big to ignore in a fandom (like a major ship that overshadows everything else, for example, or some piece of fanon that is taken for gospel by everyone) and blocking the people involved with it pretty much equates to blocking the entire fandom altogether. But then yeah, the solution is just staying away and not interacting much, focusing on whatever it is we prefer to that inescapable thing and that's it. Expecting other people to stop enjoying themselves in their own way is what's absurd.

DA

But I wasn't getting the impression that they were referring to something that other people were enjoying. More like, the amount of stuff that was fun in fandom seemed vastly overshadowed by the amount of people finding something unimportant to be outraged over and then carping on it everywhere, as if the rest of the story doesn't exist or shouldn't matter.

AYRT

You might be right! What got me was the "regardless of quality" part of the secret, which I assumed meant actual bits of canon people might be gushing over regardless of them being important or not (I'd call that petty bullshit too depending on what it was, lmao). In any case, yeah, there's quite a lot of unnecessary drama in fandom that can really make it stop being fun altogether, but then again there always has been... I guess it just didn't get plastered all over Twitter or some other social media thing that makes it look ten times bigger than it actually is. But then that's why I steer clear from those places too, so I can enjoy fandom in peace without the yelling and the moral high-horses. Sometimes it has a lot to do with the platforms we're "doing fandom" in. I wouldn't be caught dead in a Discord fandom server, for instance!
