Well, im way too old for getting involved in fandoms anymore but yes, I noticed wokies are ruining any fandoms they're in and what's worse, often demands and even just straight out harras orginal content creators to pander to their whims.

I feel so sorry for teenagers these days, when I was younger fandoms weren't this toxic and insane. :(

Funny that we think that fandom has an age limit nowadays. I was suprirsed to hear this from the seniors, but one of the things that helped fandom not go too crazy were the presence of old people. Think senior Star Trek fans who printed their monthly fan magazines pre-internet days. They served as elders who teach the younglings how to behave. We're really missing that nowadays.

The fandom I'm in has a father with 4 children. They all love the same series, so he would write children's fanfiction and read them as bedtime stories. Really wholesome.

Yeah, there are plenty of fandom elders. It's just that they're less likely to be the idiots aimlessly vomiting woke SJW poison into the web constantly. Not to say they never do, but the worst offenders are typically 26 and below nowadays. Which lines up conveniently with the start of Gen Z, of course.

The oldest unironically woke person i've met with all the gender terms is 40-ish. I think I consider him a bit of an outlier.
