seeing a lot of posts about this so my two cents ☝️ i think there is a difference between thinking a fandom is annoying which is true for every fandom vs not wanting to be personally involved with the fandom despite being a fan because they are by majority weird people you don't want to be around or find reprehensible in some way. like it's the same thought being built off and yeah the second one is a bit more holier than thou maybe morally righteous but the first usually comes with "so i don't like it at all anymore" and the second is "so i just have my own space to talk about/share it/etc and try to distance myself to whatever level but generally don't care what other people think if i like it" ... doubly so with bigger fandoms. and most of us all do the second anyway just naturally and it's not a big thing so. about 95% of my mutuals would never say they are In A Fandom at all not that it's inherently wrong to say or whatever but like people just like things. who cares.

#🐾 #i feel like i spend a lot of time talking about this topic LOL... i guess it's interesting for my mind to dissect #i think fandom as a subject is interesting i guess like the way the wheels tend to turn but i've never liked a good amount of them #with a couple exceptions like there's freaks who like gravfalls for example but they're few these days #whereas like pre boycott the biggest reason i stopped liking st was bc even though i WAS in my own space i couldn't handle being around so #many horrible genuinelt disgusting people who had no morals or values. even if i was nothing like them and apart from them and denounced #them it just got incredibly tiring and mentally fatiguing and brushing shoulders with them from a distance turned my stomach #and i feel generally the same way Now with the state of the our flag fanbase as ANOTHER example #and am stepping away from all that for my own ... brain. or i'll kill myself to be honest #like i dunno i don't care if ppl find something i like lame or annoying i actually truly could care less but individuals making up a whole #being just the worst people imaginable is something i can't feel comfortable being in like. #close quarters with. they're over there and i'm over here. SAME AS IT EVER WAS ... #to be fair to that though i am obviously still a moral ocd warrior who is LOSING the fight often but it's okay. i doing my best #also this whole thing is reminding me how when ppl would call me a st blog id get offended 😭 even though i essentially was #like i wanted outsiders to think i was a normal personal blog but i also would have rather died than people not realise it was my spin #i miss being that crazy but it's okay. Time flows onwards
