Actor stanning has always been there in fandom, it's not a new thing, but it certainly feels like being just as obsessed with the cast as well as the characters has become an expected norm in fandom and I hate it.

I don't want to squee over the actors when I'm talking about the characters, I don't care about keeping up with whatever they're doing outside of the role I enjoyed. I want to ambivalently ignore them but modern fandom makes that so hard.

I'm sick of modern sci-fi showrunners tossing women and minority actors off the glass cliff to try and exculpate themselves from having written shitty shows. Just write better shows and better scripts for the actors, and it won't matter who the actors are.

I do not understand why so many Jane Austen Sequels are murder mysteries.

The silliness of the concept even is a plot-point in Northanger Abbey.

I liked Scrubs: Med School.

That's not the secret.

I'm mad at the new Scrubs reboot/continuation because it decanonizes Med School! That is the secret.

B!S: I'm more mad, because I actually enjoy the new Scrubs series too even though it is the same thing again. Judy Reyes has not aged even a single day!

Games thread!

He's like the guy who gushes about how much he loves Lord of the Rings, but at most, slept through half of the second movie from 20 years ago, and can't understand what people are talking about when they list their favorite moments from the books or any adaptation.

He also evidently cheats at video games by paying someone to bulk up his fighter before he uses it in battle.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: He's such a little bitch. And he's loyal to nothing.

[nanslice]

I agree. I'm not even in live action fandoms! I'm in Resident Evil fandom and I don't give a damn what Leon's face model says or thinks or does. It has nothing to do with Leon. It has nothing to do with me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly this is the first time I’ve seen anyone anywhere mention him since probably late last summer, maybe early autumn. Within a month or two of ending his DOGE role he disappeared from the news and memes. I travel in some very nerdy circles and live on nerdy subreddits and no one ever brings him up. And these are definitely the nerd topics he’s gravitated to in years past, all the stuff that’s nerdy but cool.

I guess what I’m trying to say is you need to retrain the algorithm or kick some pathetic assholes out of your digital life. Because this guy isn’t relevant and hasn’t been for a long time. It’s a very small slice that still bring him up and it looks like you’re in it.

This is part of why I am always so disappointed when something I like gets a LA adaptation, especially books. I’m here for the thing. Let me enjoy the thing. Go enjoy the ancillary things somewhere else. But nope, that chatter always takes over the main fandom spaces and no one talks about the actual subject(s) of the fandom anymore :(

I left out the main point: he isn’t killing any words or concepts because the vast majority of the world isn’t paying attention to him, especially in nerd circles. The freeze out is particularly strong in nerd circles because so many fell for his bullshit for a long time and they’re now embarrassed or feel betrayed.

[(Anonymous)]

Is it all cause we all kinda secretly want to murder Wickham? Even the TV show Sharpe gave into that and killed him in Sharpe's Justice. Good.

Jesus, if you are gonna "cheat" at videogames then just either use easy mode, or use the "cheat" codes.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to play a videogame on easy or skip a difficult bit you don't enjoy. Paying someone to do it, presumably so he could still claim nerd cred(?), and faking it is just so... desperate and needy.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree but also I’d like to see those roles written for those actors. No more of this colorblind bullshit where you have POCs playing characters who are very obviously white (and usually middle class).
