#saw notes in a post that were about a fandom I’m in#that said: it’s exhausting to constantly see this adult man written like a teenage girl in high school#and I can’t even remember who said it#but HARD HARD same#a big reason I can’t vibe with younger fans#like it’s not that their expression is inheritly BAD#that is not what I’m trying to say#I’m saying they fill a function (a form of cathartic self expression) that is just not the right fit for me#and when I was younger I probably vibes with it really hard#but now it’s not the case#because I want to see characters filtered through a more accurate lens of their ages#and it’s hard for a 19 year to write from an accurate perspective of an older character#when they themselves don’t have those experiences#(and again I’m not saying the prose can’t be excellent or the logic sound or the world building isn’t solid)#but the reality is that as you get older you simply gain life experience and perspective you CANNOT get just by reading about#you can only get it by living through it#and it’s very hard to depict those experinces and internal changes accurately if you haven’t experienced them first hand#me and younger fans are just looking for completely different things from our fandom experiences#and both are valid#but they are not the same
