i see way way way more posts yelling about how wrong it is to tell middle aged women that they’re too old for fandom or tumblr than I see people saying anything of the sort to middle aged women. Like I’m 36 and I’ve never had anyone tell me I’m too old to be here 🤷🏽‍♂️

#I think there are like. Generation gaps in fandom culture #But that’s not an age thing so much as indicative of when you started participating in fandom and where #Sometimes I see people complaining about how fandom was better when there were individual fan communities #Like on live journal or like specific fandom websites #I do remember those days but I am not nostalgic for them at all #I didn’t actually speak and participate in fandom until I found bbcs Twitter and then tumblr #I do miss it being chattier on tumblr tho #We used to have a chattier culture and now asks are less common 🤷🏽‍♂️#I think people have conversations on discord #Which. For one thing I don’t want another fucking app #Also a friend of mine invited me to a discord server and I found it kind of overwhelming #Plus nobody knew me and they didn’t rlly respond to my messages #Maybe it’s fun with people you already know but #It’s not easy to dive into a group of people who already know each other and have developed a culture #And just talk to them without the context they already have #But hell im autistic and struggling to identify/locate the context is like the story of my life
