I had my first introduction to that crazy in 2015. Although, there were already toxic people before that anyway. Y'know those people who're anti-learning and would tell you to give up because you don't improve as fast as they want.

I got that as a teen and it really sucked.

BUT i must also say that fandom is also what helped me get back on my feet. In a way, i cultivated a fandom within a fandom. As long you're lucky to find a community that enforces pg 13 rules (i found one) there's potential to be great.

Why pg 13? Minimal to no political discourse allowed. And if someone started getting to fiesty around the kids the mods will cut the convo.

I'm hesitant to find a community with "PG-13" rules because a.) it's been overwhelmingly the younger fandom goers that I've had problems with, especially with woke stuff and b.) the game my home fandom centered around was 18+, and those more mature themes are what made me appreciate it. To enjoy a rated M game in a community with PG-13 rules seems counterproductive.

Ah, that is true. That does make things quite difficult. Too many people have the mind of a 13 year old even though they're 18+

That's the problem, 13 year olds and those with the mind of a 13 year old XD Ran into plenty of those lol
