Re: Help a new fan out?

da

Isn't this person doing what you're suggesting already, though? Not complaining about being "forced" to participate, but asking for places that they can interact with the fandom in the way they prefer. It's...what you're telling them to do, except they're acting for specifics for the "lovely places" you or others might know of.

Like okay I get what you're saying about not looking down on people for having too much fun or whatever but this person isn't coming across as scoffing and dismissive to me at all

ayrt

No, I was responding to their comment about "the crazy" and how that must somehow impact their enjoyment of fandom (they directly said they left a previous fandom because of it).

Okay, but if the way the fandom works is not enjoyable to you it's still a perfectly logical train of thought to divorce yourself from that fandom. Yes, actually, other fans can impact a person's willingness to interact with those specific fans. That's not inherently a bad thing. It's a personality/preference thing. It's one thing to say you can't enjoy a show anymore because of the fandom, but to say "I can't enjoy this fandom because of this fandom" seems pretty natural.

I'm mostly just baffled by your "no one is forcing you" bit because yes, yes that is exactly the point
