i really can not stand the “fandom is so fun we’re all just projecting and making shit up” thing. because no i actually deeply admire the canon of my favorite media and all the intention and care and craft put into it. we are not the same.

#ur supposed to do that when the source material sucks #when theres huge gaps worth filling whether its in representation or just bad writing or SOMETHING fundamentally unexplored #when the source material is good and smart and has like 2 decades worth of really well developed characters with psychological complexity #stories about queerness and mental illness and neurodivergence and shit. all right there in canon. ripe to pick and dig ur teeth in #WHY BOTHER MAKING SHIT UP it just. dumbs down everything.#not to be like a rick and morty redditor going umm ackshully u need a high iq to understand this show ☝️🤓#but like. it’s true maybe? media literacy is kicking half this fandom’s ass #im not talking about anyone in particular just a general trend im seeing getting worse
