#honestly i barely engage with this fandom anymore beyond fanart

[fortunatelychaoticphantom]

I am so confused by comments around here where people complain "it's been X years! Let it go!!" in fandom discussions. Do you... do you not know how the internet works? Do you not know how media works? Do you think you are only allowed to talk about a piece of media during or right after its publishing and then you are forbidden from ever meaningfully engaging with it ever again? Do you think everyone in the world, including people who haven't been born yet, consume all media at the exact same time and never interact with it ever again afterwards? Also, like, the irony of complaining about a discussion happening in a certain fandom X years after it finished airing, by engaging in this fandom X years after is finished airing. Also, imagine telling an academic "omg get over it! The Illiad was published 2800 years ago!!!". Like, great take, Gretchen. That was very helpful.
