People thinking they can poke holes in the quality of the media I hyperfixate on puzzle me. Dude, I know it's trash. I know it's mediocre-to-actively bad. I know it has the nutritional value of Fruit Loops. That's why I hyperfixate on it. If it was actually good it wouldn't produce the kind of under-the-skin irritation only scratchable by 738274 fics, fanedits and meta. I'm not gonna apologize for it.

Of course people who hyperfixate on this trash thinking it's good is a whole other class of animal. That probably belongs in a zoo.

#insert CW show here #I wonder what it would be like to be in a fandom whose source material is actually good #like LotR or Alexis Hall or Discworld or Leverage #although I've blocked some of those tags because their fandom's avoidance of discussing their problems at all #the blind worship of their creators and general superiority about the ''goodness'' of their source material #is a lot more insidiously toxic than having to share space with J2 truthers #fandoms of trash media are a lot more open to criticism of our source material and creators #exception being RWRB fandom #but that's down to it being somehow annexed entirely by Swifties #they're the class of animal I'm talking about #supernatural #DCU #harry potter #DCtv #flarrowverse #BtVS #DC comics #should put Bones in here but the show was testing my cringe resistance even before I quit by S6 #imbibing copaganda is one thing but completely disgracing the field of anthropology is where I draw the line #same with Queer as Folk #like enjoyable for its time but I can't sit through it at all now #sometimes I do want to apologize for my hyperfixations #knee of huss
