A Melon who Apperently draws

The more I interact with fandoms, the more I see of this bias hatred that seems to brew within them. Fandoms need to cut it out with this superiority complex they all seem to have. The hatred towards other fandoms, other fandom members, crossovers, etc needs to end.

Your fandom is NO better than any other. It is no worse than any other. The people in it are no better or worse than those in other fandoms.

Your fandom is great. Your fan-made content is great. YOU ARE GREAT.

You are not cancer. You are not autistic (as in the insult, not the actual disorder.). You are not “cringe”. YOU. ARE. WONDERFUL.

Furries, Otaku, Gamers, Undertale fans, FNAF fans, Sonic Fans, Bronies, Pegasisters, etc. All of you are great!

What you make, and do, is wonderful.

Your cosplays, art, fics, muses, sonas, OC, comics, animations, make up, cosplays, etc. It is all wonderful.

Don’t let people who hate on fandoms for no good reason get you down. Don’t feel the trolls. Keep your head held high, and show off your work proudly.

Even those who don’t “make things” contribute to the fandom greatly. Something as simple as a like, note, repost, retweet, comment, and more could make someone’s day. YOU could be the reason someone smiles, and is happy.

Everyone fandom has it’s bad sides. Rabid members. Trolls. Hateful people. Judgmental people. Drama starters. “Creeps”. But, the good people outweigh the bad in my eyes.

Maybe if we all spread love, acceptance, and friendship within out fandoms then the term “fandom” wouldn’t be so hated. Maybe, if we all loved our fellow members, and made our fandoms more welcoming to new members they wouldn’t see us as “Cancer”.

So, the next time you go to call someone “cringe”, go to hate someone’s crossover, go to bash a ship, to make fun of someone, to shame someone’s art…Why don’t you don’t stop to think of something nice to say instead? Leave a like. A heart react. A meaningful comment. Offer assistance. Do a request. Compliment an OC. Read a little of a fic. Give a ship some love. Maybe even make a new friend! Who knows, maybe that person in the other fandom will have more in common with you than you think.

It means a lot to the people in your fandom, and others.
