Parallels between the Star Wars and ATLA fandoms (because y'all have turned into the fandom menace 2.0):
Multi-generational fandom that is completely unpleasable.
"There's nothing good besides the original." "You're blinded by nostalgia."
Confusion about canon from contradicting franchise materials, so everyone picks and chooses what they like and argue about it.
Real world parallels causing fans to use fandom as activism in the worst way possible.
Complicated™️ relationship with the creator(s).
Treating artists, actors, and other creatives like they aren't human beings and mixing hatred for corpos into critiques.
Character/ship stans and antis going way too far.
Stans of the villains with cool aesthetics going way too far.
Characters from a monk-like culture getting hate for moral nuances and not dealing with their genocide well.
Being weird about women and girls.
Toxic shippers vs. shipping haters who constantly complain about shipping.
DISCOURSE DISCOURSE DISCOURSE but no one will ever change their mind.
Edgelords who want everything to be HBO despite the franchise being intended for family viewing.
Moral guardians who want everything to be squeaky clean and unchallenging despite the franchise being intended for family viewing.
Fans who are too emotionally invested and treat it as a sacred text.
"Fans" who have no emotional investment and don't care about it as an artistic endeavor.
Fans who are only emotionally invested in a very specific thing and cannot see the bigger picture.
