i think it's really funny when people are like "i can't take this show seriously i think it's so funny that this show has a fandom. it's like if people started shipping simpsons characters or wrote video essays about bart" or otherwise use the simpsons as an example of a show that Obviously People Don't Take Seriously. like what are you talking about. go on nohomers for three seconds to realize how insane people are about the simpsons

#i've said this before but i think that tumblr-esque fan communities have a very specific view of shows that it's Okay To Take Seriously #and yes that does even include cartoons! but only CERTAIN cartoons #like certain shows are cool to like in passing or to make like art or analysis About The Property that Criticizes The Property #or to engage with if you're essentially treating the show like a meme or treating it with a sort of non-analytical nostalgia #but then people will act shocked when someone writes like. idk a genuine friends fanfic or something #so it leads to people who make in-depth owl house theories (for example) making fun of the idea that like #anyone could put that same amount of effort into a bob's burgers headcanon. for instance #idk i just think it's interesting #'what if people took seinfeld seriously!!!' look i'm not into seinfeld personally #but i can promise you that fan community exists and has discourse the likes of which you have never seen
