#fandom infighting

The culture of educating others on social issues is no longer a conversation but a goddamn pissing contest. And what’s more hilarious is that it’s debate of short unnuanced takes amongst two flawed morons whom probably agree on more things than not.

They want to make fandom a better experience for everyone, including you. Nobody is perfect, and we all fuck up (the gods know that I have in the past, and probably will again in the future) - that isn’t the problem. The problem is when people tell you you’re doing something hurtful out of your position of privilege and/or ignorance. In that case it’s your job to listen and think about what they said without immediately retaliating. If you come to the conclusion that they’re wrong and that you did nothing wrong; well, you do you.

 But at the very least listen and think.

Thanks for asking!

Well, a lot of people like one skater better than another, for all sorts of reasons. I think that Alina’s presentation could use work, but of course she is still a Junior, and it’s not to be expected that all of them are beautifully polished at her age.

I feel like I want to see more of Alina before casting too many judgements either way. As I said in the Marin question, I did not watch anywhere near as much Juniors as I would have liked this season, so though I have seen the video of the 0-8 FS, I haven’t seen much else. I did find that in her FS she sold the program very well, masking the backloading and making it seem that it was just a thing that happened rather than an intentional plan.

A gentle reminder that it’s okay to be an adult and still like cartoons.
