But instead of "oh that's interesting/so different, here is what I thought" and a fun exchange it is just doubling down and insulting. It is tiring.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-26 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah. It's like people are treating discussions as an "Us vs. Them" zero-sum game, and acting like "winning" is the only goal that could possibly have any value. I've also seen an attitude that everything in fandom must be for some higher social purpose that benefits other people, or at least be morally improving for the fans in question. Instead of being for fun, which is how it was in the past.
I feel like I'm dealing with a bunch of self-appointed guardians of other people's morality, and it's giving me flashbacks of the moralizing church ladies and deacons when I was younger. It particularly reminds me of my cousin's asshole ex-husband who decided to take me to task for not being proper enough in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner in front of the entire family.
