It wasn't actually that bad, either.in this fandom in the ONS era. Honestly, ever since K-fans arrived, itās become impossible to be here; you can't say or do anything anymore. Every day thereās something against us ,itās starting to become unbearable, and many Robron fans don't help matters either. Following Robron and being part of a fandom is supposed to be a fun escape, but it just isn't anymore; sooner or later the rope snaps.
This is just my own opinion and how I feel.

I can barely use tumblr without it crashing and this ain't what I usually put on my blog but I dont care bc I'm excited and want to throw ideas into the void!!! So under the cut will be SPOILERS for Helluva Boss all episodes released to this day (9/9/23 having season 2 episode 6 posted and the date of me typing this post). Cool? Cool.
Edit: (its now 12/10/23 and I see I never posted this lmao its just in my drafts. Which I have like fifty of š )
I read an ask over on @tsuki-no-uraās blog today that sort of broke my heart and hit on some things Iāve been feeling and thinking. I agree with the anon that it feels like our fandom has become a worse place. The post I just rebloggedĀ touches on some of why I think that is. AlsoĀ Ghostmartyrās recent postĀ was helpful as well in understanding the rampant negativity. The feeling of heartbreak that comes from crushed hopes and dreams generally doesnāt allow for graciousness.Ā
Itās hard to avoid the negativity. Mantras likeĀ ādonāt like, donāt readā and āstay in your laneā are great, of course, but they only work if everyone follows the rule. Like the anon in Tsukiās ask said, if you are online for more than a few minutes, if you dig even the slightest bit into the tags, youāll see something you regret and not everyone has the strength or the support group to let it go or ignore it. It hurts to see people willfully misrepresenting your favorite character or your ship community. Itās hard not to take it personally.Ā
The advice to build your own community is also good, but I understand how difficult this is. Not everyone has the confidence to slide into another persons dms to start the process, and many long timers in the fandom are understandably cautious of befriending new people. It can take years to find people you can safely laugh and cry (and vent) with. Until you do, you are sort of adrift in the wider fandom with all its issues.
Regarding ship wars, I feel like here on tumblr they most often take the form of meta blogs that devote the majority of their time to denigrating other ship communities. While they may officially hold the attitude of āship and let shipā, the number of disingenuous anons they answer and the sheer abundance of replies that focus on straw man arguments or else attempt to paint an entire rival community in a negative light is honestly astonishing. Ā
I donāt know what to say about those. Just. Yeah. Itās disgusting and dishonest.Ā I hate it too. Also I know as a meta blog I shouldnāt be casting stones. Glass houses and all that. But Iāve tried very hard not to do that. Iām obviously not perfect in this regard but I feel pretty confident that if you look at the 4356 anon asks Iāve answered, there are only a handful that could be considered casting shade on anyone. I get bait daily. It would be so easy to fall into that trap. But itās such a shitty thing to do.
Tsukiās reply to the anon was perfect of course and I could sympathize with her feelings. That need to be careful and constantly censor yourself is something I can relate to. Thereās also the awareness that no matter how hard you try or how careful you are, someone somewhere (or maybe a lot of someones) are going to view you poorly because your ideas are inconvenient to them.Ā
I donāt have any solutions here. I just read that ask and wanted to let people who are hurting because of fandom negativity know that I see them and Iām sorry. It sucks. Itās exhausting. All those things. You arenāt crazy. You arenāt alone. You arenāt weak. You arenāt overly sensitive. You are human.Ā
I hope you find things that make you happy, like Tsuki said, either by reading your favorite fic for the hundredth time or focusing on the humor, art and shitposts that are also fandom staples. At least that part of fandom never changes.

When ur soulmate gets angry at you so you decide to have a mental breakdown and kill some people while planning to kill more
Seriously, there were so many āquirky fan thingsā that I thought were exactly that--quirky fan things--until I became an English major and learned, yeah, no, thatās actual literary stuff, and it is valid. Ā
Applying ideas from one fandom to another? Ā Thatās intertextuality. Ā
Headcanons, self-inserts, role play, or connecting heavily to a character? Ā Just an extension of Reader Response Theory. Ā
Fixating on one specific aspect of the story, like setting, or wondering what would happen if that one aspect was different (i.e. an AU)? Ā Thatās looking at text through different lenses and examining how things like history and location and world-building shape the narrative.
Imagining and obsessing over all the thoughts/feelings/details behind a particular scene?Ā Thatās close-reading and looking for larger themes and symbols.
