Friendly reminder: You Are Not Obligated To Actively Participate In A Fandom To Be A Fan.

You can be a fan from a distance. You can be a fan that's heavily involved. You can be a fan somewhere inbetween. You're still a fan any which way.

Sometimes it's unavoidable, but you don't need to let others bad attitudes and negative behaviours define what your experience as a fan as and how you interact with the media that you're a fan of.

#was scrolling through a particular tag #ran across a mile long post that after skimming it and seeing a couple comments made on a couple other shows i had also watched #and ended up pulling out of the tag thinking #a) I don't need this negativity in my life and to ruin something I'm enjoying #and b) it sounds like your standards are either impossibly high or you're not happy with anything or some combination of both #just made me go okay no we don't need to subjugate ourselves to this and the other stuff we're have to scroll through #to see the already slim pickings #and feel bad for disagreeing or feeling wrong for or dumb for enjoying a show #like it's not me. it's them. and it's okay to walk away from that.#different fandoms have different attitudes and certain broad categories of fandoms will always have their consistent bad apples #point is: don't let the bad apple rot you and ruin your experience #fandom things #sunny's late night shenanigans
