can we stop calling casual fans LARPers??? like literally who CARESSSS not everyone needs to be knee deep in the internet trenches in a fandom to be allowed to enjoy it. just cuz someone wasn’t there day one doesn’t mean their ability to enjoy and interact with a media is any lesser than someone else’s. as long as they aren’t spreading misinformation, or formulating uneducated takes, what does it matter? can’t people just enjoy stuff casually? all these people are doing is scaring away new fans and making them feel ashamed for existing. if your discouraging people from interacting with a media they won’t be able to grow and learn more. why are you gatekeeping being a fan.
