i think it’s so interesting watching people begin to get into and see fandom spaces more now that the internet exists. fandom spaces are really just that a space for people who are fans of something to discuss and show off their own fanwork, but as the internet has grown so have those spaces. and some spaces are really small but some are really big and that’s really what i want to talk about.
big fandom spaces are awesome because you can meet so many amazing people, however if you’ve ever been in a fandom space before you know there is that 1% of weirdos who most people really do not like. in a fandom space of 10,000 you’ll probably have about a hundred weirdos and those weirdos voices can often be a lot louder then the other 9,900 but when you’re in a fandom space with 100,000 people or 1 million people suddenly those one hundred voices become a lot louder and more noticeable, especially to those outside the fandom spaces. because of this, this is how the fandom is starting to be viewed. my best example of this is really Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift is possibly the biggest artist of our time, she has millions of fans and again with fan spaces there comes weirdos, there comes assholes. those are the voices that people hear not the others who in general have been perfectly lovely while interacting with them. you do not have to interact with the weirdos, hit “not interested” or block them or scroll away but you are not required to interact with them nor are you required to interact with a fandom space at all if you don’t want to. hell you do not have to even interact with the source of the fandom at all, I don’t like “Friends” so i don’t watch it, very easy really.
i think we saw a lot of this with Stranger Things as well when it got a really big fan space and a really big audience, people who had never had experience with fan spaces began their complaints about the fandom now some of it was normal fan things like cosplay of characters which happens in almost every fandom if they have characters to cosplay as (think ATLA, Critical Roll, literally any anime) but they were also declaring the whole fandom bad because of a few weirdos, because the weirdos voices were louder.
i’m not saying you have to enjoy the fandom or the fandoms source, but understand how to just block or ignore and move on is really important. and understanding the fandom is not all terrible people, it’s usually just a bunch of people connecting over a shared love of something. outwardly yelling about how much you hate Taylor Swift and swifties or yelling about how much you hate Stranger Things and their fans makes no sense. you don’t like it, don’t interact with it. the world is not perfect and neither are fan spaces or their sources, and they do not care that you do not like them.
let people live god dammit
