I can’t even enjoy my ships in peace anymore without fandom Marxist Mcarthytists seeing a “power imbalance” and “exploitation” everywhere they turn.

Is this how citizens in the Soviet Union felt? Is this the fandom equivalent of the fucking KGB?

Marx created a fucking monster when he invented the religious ideal of “perfect equality,” I can only hope he’s currently rolling in his grave over what his ideology turned into, and if not people should spit on it for grooming entire generations of Taliban Commie Fundamentalists.

Japan’s lucky that they have yet to be infested with Western Marxism so fandom is actually normal there, and oh how I envy them.

Yeah, I miss old fandoms so much, it was so chill back then. :(

You could enjoy very weird and controversial ships like for example, Harry x Voldemort, Papa Smurf x Gargamel or Batman x Joker and nobody really gave a fuck or call it "problematic" and declare a damn internet jihad against you. siiiiigh

Also, I envy Japanese fandoms too, they can do and create whatever they bloody wants and nobody "cancels" them.( well, with exception of screeching westerners on Twitter but fortunately they don't give a single fuck about crazy opinions of entitled gaijins.)

Yeah that's how it is for me too. I just want to enjoy my one ship that I love above all others, but it's Problematic TM and I'm a Bigot TM for shipping these poor innocent fictional characters. That's LATERLLY worse than Hitler.

Damn I envy them too. I wonder if things will ever be less horrible for Western fandom in the future.

Ignore the screeching snowflakes and just enjoy your favorite ship. What they can do to you? Cancel you to death? At this point, being called a bigot is a compliment, really. They have power over you only because you let them, just ignore them.

Yeah you're right. I think I'm still just hurting a bit because I recently lost all of my fandom friends over gender ideology. Hopefully with more time I'll learn to ignore it.
