hype aversion sucks, I understand fully. I have been turned off to so many movies, books, and tv shows in the past oh...10-15 years? thanks to hype aversion. and it's not even going to fandom spaces specifically for that fandom, it's seeing it bleeding into normie spaces where I can't avoid it. bleeding? hemhorraging! flooding!

I know a portion of the blame is mine, for simply having a case of hype aversion. but I swear before the Star Wars prequels there was some level of divide between fandom and not-fandom where you could exist without ever tasting the hype at all. now you can't.

I have avoiding hype down to an art form. Because yeah, it can completely ruin my own hype and joy. Gotta protect the little joys I have left here!

grips your shoulder in soldarity

why, brain, why are we like this?

[(Anonymous)]

I mean. Fan is short for fanatic. Fandom *is* the place to be too excited. I don't have any helpful advice on how to avoid that, other than to limit your exposure to places where people discuss things. Or maybe to limit your exposure to strangers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can definitely relate.

Like, does everything have to come with some form of virtue signaling?
Go find/create your problem-free entertainment and leave me alone.
Why can't I just fucking enjoy something?

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. I feel the opposite. I love seeing people be extremely stoked about something. I find enthusiasm contagious.

Sometimes when something is extremely popular and I've already tried it and realized I don't like it all that much, then that can be annoying, but otherwise, people being enthusiastic about media is great and helps introduce me to new stuff.

I usually wait for the hype to wear out and engage with things in my own time, even if it's years later. And there's the added benefits of plenty of fanworks and meta too!

My suggestion would be to cut down on social media usage. I'm very much the same as you, OP, and since life circumstances have pushed me to have less wastable time to endlessly scroll on SM and almost entirely forgoing it I have to say that's it's been great for me in many, many way, same problem as you included.

I know it's easier said than done, especially in case you count on SM for a lot of your socializing, but if it's something you think you can achieve trying to cut down on the time you spend on the various social media platforms might help in that sense

Is it so hard to avoid the fandom? I'm aware of this movie but I've never seen a single comment about it anywhere....?
