Protip: Fandoms suck. If you want to enjoy media avoid fandoms. They're full of nutters.

    Not to mention the fanhaters as I think of them. You know the ones, the Harry Potter fans that consume all the media just so they can say how [phobic] whatever it is is. They only spent 2 days reading/watching it all and they only watched it to find problems so they can justify watching it. It's hilarious. They get so tied up in knots about it because JK is a big mean meanie now so they can't like her content (because twitter said potter woman bad) but they do like it so have to make excuses for why they've watched it and why they're the biggest 'not'fan.

    It's insane. I read all the HP books, all the bigotry people accuse it of simply doesn't exist. People truly love to hate JKR. It's ridiculous how people have rallied around this nonsense.

    I've come to realize that. It was a tough lesson to learn.

    Yeah, It's really sad that people can't just enjoy things. It spirals so much and it's just tiring to deal with. So many fandoms are super toxic on top of that, especially ones the woke like. Look at Steven Universe and them driving people to suicide.

    I would have been perfectly content to let people just enjoy things. We don't have to agree on everything. Too bad others don't extend the same courtesy.

    Yeah like idrc if that's how someone wants to interpret a character. Would I think it's a bit weird? Yeah. Wouldn't harass them for not seeing everything the same way as me though.

    Sometimes it's super forced too and adds nothing to whatever they're doing, they need to just chill and have fun my man/woman rather than needing to be 'on' virtue signalling mode all the time.

    The problem is a lot of these people use fandom as a means of activism, when it's anything but.

    It's honestly funny and kinda pathetic. They can't go outside so they'll just write a speech about how POTTER WOMAN BAD on a fic or something. Or make characters trans to upset her. Like mate she doesn't read this I really don't think she cares.

    Yeah no joke, JKR doesn't give a shit if you trans Harry or whatever. She's too busy giving a shit about real life actual women lmao

    Yup You don't need any toxic fandoms to enjoy your favorite stuff.

    I've decided to just go forward enjoying my game on my own. There's no need to meet more people to ruin it for me.
