(I'm the anon from before, who initially mentioned the difference between intensity and the duration of something.)

Yeah, that's what I'd call intense, both your relationship to canons and the previous anon's as well. There's a certain dedication, a loyalty, if you will, that defines that idea of being an "intense" fan that I just cannot associate with the people who come in, yell about something for two weeks and then disappear forever to go yell about a thousand other fandoms without ever coming back.

I can't speak for others but I'm definitely in the team that expects some sort of long-term commitment inside of fandom. It's how *I* engage with it and how I've been "taught" to engage with it along the years I've been here. But then there are these curious cultural shifts and people coming in with different backgrounds, yeah. I'd say someone who stumbles upon fandom now, coming in from Twitter or TikTok, is going to have a completely different concept of what participating in it even is, at its core, whereas people who started out a few decades ago just follow another rhythm. If you grew up on LJ (as I did), as active as it might have been in the past, you weren't subjected to the maddening demand for ever new "content" coming out, which is what these new apps are all about.

I suppose it's a bit of a generational thing and none of us are all too happy with this new, throwaway version of fandom. Maybe someday even those who came into it like that grow tired of it too... How can they not when the speed of everything in this ultra-capitalistic landscape is just so unnerving?
