Fandom, etc.

i feel like maybe im the only one in the fandom who feels this way but i do NOT want amazon to make a new stargate series. when you consider the fact that sga was cancelled bc they hated their primary woman-based fandom, when you consider the fact they already told us we didnt matter enough, when you consider what happens to modern tv shows made through streaming services, when you consider what modern fandom as a whole is like? no actually i dont want stargate to be ruined by greedy corporations that dont understand what the show was about in the first place. no i dont want modern fandom to discover the original series and ruin it bc people dont understand nuance. no i dont want the stories we love to turned into some cheap gimmick bc they realized they can make a quick buck off of us. we dont need another stargate tv show this fandom is so alive still because the original series gave us so much and we make our own stories, and they're good stories!!! stargate gave so much to fandom as a whole (everyone say thank you daniel for inventing whump) and we as a fandom have created SO MUCH and i dont want the beautiful home we have carved out for ourselves to be ruined by all the different aspects of modern media/fandom

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

I see this so much in sitcoms as well, when people viscerally hate the "annoying" characters and start projecting real world stuff onto them. They completely ignore the story necessity of it, the fact that the cool "dry humor" protagonist they love so much can only be that way BECAUSE the annoying characters provide the counterweight he works from. Remove them, and you are left with a cool, dull as dirt protagonist who never says anything bc the foil characters aren't there to give him anything to be cool against.

He looks like he's in the middle of telling a really good story, and refuses to let something as petty as a war interrupt his pace.
