Agreed. Fandom ridiculousness is meant to stay in fandom, not breach containment.

Also personally I can't stand it when fans bother the actors over ships, as if we need their input or permission to ship something. No thanks I'll do what I want in my corner without the 'approval' of those working on it. Plus I've never understood asking the actors things like that when they don't write the show/movie, even if they're for a ship it doesn't mean it'll happen. I miss the 4th wall.

100% this!!

Agreeeeeed.

I just stumbled on a discussion on reddit where people were talking about the "culture and rules/etiquette of fandom" and how they've changed over the years. What was interesting about it was that the apparent drama in the argument came from younger fans saying fandom doesn't have a culture or rules and that it is somehow rude? insulting? idek to try and say it does and try to "police" what fans can do. Part of the whole thing was talking about fandom etiquette and part of that was what stays within fandom and how to talk to the creators and actors etc.

I don't mind actors or show runners or writers or whatever popping up in fandom, cause they can be part of the subculture, too, though I do think they should try their hardest to be anonymous because letting the fandom know is just asking for trouble. I hate it when the fandom goes to them. Leave these people alone, they didn't ask to be harassed for not writing the way you want, or being black, or not being gay, or whatever these idiots are pissed about. Don't drag them into your shipwars, for fuck's sake.

Yup. I also think that fans have become super entitled and are pushing it onto TPPB. I don't remember it being quite this bad before the past few years.

The advent of twitter really pushed shit like this into 'normalcy' and I hate it. There's always been entitled fans who got huffy if they didn't get what they wanted, but they were secluded in fandom on forums or their blogs, nowhere near the creators. But now? They can go directly to the twitter or instagram page of a show/movie/creator and harass them into doing what they want and if it doesn't happen: accuse that creator/actor/show of doing something awful in retaliation.

The nasty fans that have always been here have been given the power they always wanted and I hate it.

That's been the case for at least a decade, unfortunately.

It's been so for awhile, but I agree with the post-Covid-shift theory where a bunch of people stuck in their homes during quarantine got online and realized it was now an option for them.

I agree so much. But I also just wish fandom was more hidden in general. In my opinion, it was a lot better as a smaller community of weirdos (which, in the early 2000s fandom felt SO BIG AND AWESOME but looking back, it was so much smaller).

[(Anonymous)]

I agree so much. It just worked better as smaller communities tucked away from the public. Like it was still big and awesome, and you still had overlap, but each fandom was more contained and it felt more like a little community. Now it's just EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE and no sense of community to be found. Or at least that's been my most recent experience, which is why I basically don't do fandom much anymore.

And even as big and public as fandom is now, it's still not as big or important as it thinks it is compared to the general audience. It's generally the loudest, most obnoxious people who get listened to, as well. I loathe it.

I miss the feeling of community that fandoms used to have.

Yeah. I hate this tendency of mine to silently question anybody I see now who gets all enthusiastic about a popular thing now. I'll think, "wow, were you like that BEFORE all this shit got commercialized, or are you a real fan?" And it's like... nobody fucking likes a gatekeeper on any level but at the same time it's frustrating that some folks can't read the room. And it's making it harder and harder to find people who not only know the rules and are still actually going to be around when the current "fad" ends. It's like we have to create an even more secret space now, which is hard to do, given how easy it is to find stuff nowadays. Not to mention it feels mean and exclusive.

Agreed.

Mostly because fandom can get nasty and to have people actually involved with the project get caught up in the fandom wars is so fucking embarrassing and poisons the entire fandom.
Like, yes, it was fun when Actor A and Actor B joined in on shipping the characters they play, but it got really weird when Actor A defended the ship where their character was shipped with Actor C's character. And the people who wanted Actor C's character shipped with someone else start sending death threats and make racist remarks, it's like....wow, now I don't want to be anywhere near this fandom anymore. I don't even want people to know I'm a fan because I don't want to talk about the fandom toxicity when it's brought up
"Isn't that the series where the lead actors were rude to fans?"
And I don't want to be kissing the butts of famous people who don't even know or care about my existence but at the same time I don't want to reward shitty fan behavior.
Sometimes I just want to enjoy a thing that entertains me. Why does it always have to turn into public discourse on the state of the world and we need to solve racism/sexism/homophobia/depression/bullying?

Man, that reminds me of the stupid drama with Xenoblade 2/3. People got on one of the VA's case because she had a reasonable expectation that a certain ship would be canon in 2.... and then things got really weird in 3. But HOW DARE SHE have an opinion about it, it's THE MOST UNFORGIVABLE SIN ever. I wish these morons would reacquaint themselves with inhibition and shame. Like, sure, express yourself, enjoy yourself. But you don't get to hurt people while doing that. (Unless they're into that, which is an entirely different story.)
