Periodically I wonder what Young Royals fandom could have been if bad faith anon discourse about so many characters and plot points hadn’t been so Everywhere during the fandom’s heyday.
#luckily i have anon turned off in my asks but#seeing anons on the community blogs and on personal ones still created a Climate#the assertion that all rich hillerska kids are too bratty to be worthy of our fannish interest#(and also unable to be redeemed)#the insistence that enjoying august in any way made you an “abuse apologist”#(or worse)#the nonsense about stedrika stealing wilmon’s screentime or whatever#or literally anyone stealing wilmon’s screentime#the arguments escalating to extremes about whether wille should stick with or leave the monarchy#(this also happened off anon but i feel like anons would turn the whole thing into a flame war)#(this also happens with Which Season Is Best discourse sometimes)#the constant nastiness toward members of the cast and prying into their personal lives#every once in a while an anon would bring up a new and interesting idea#a new pairing that could spice things up or a more nuanced character interpretation#but often you’d just get a wave of anon backlash afterward squashing down the new idea#reestablishing the usual social patterns of the fandom#god imagine what the fandom could be if we’d had less of that!#imagine how many more characters and pairings we’d be enjoying!#i know every fandom has its dramas but#sometimes it’s like we were saying we were Above Hillerska#but actually we were Just Like Hillerska#(disclaimer: I’ve had non-anon good faith discussion with many of you and that’s been lovely)#(this is post is specifically about bad faith anons)
