#fandom want

Im sorry but out of all the anime related games to be an anti in I don't think the series where:

Rumors can be turned to truth if one spreads them as fact enough (P2) (something antis frequently do is rumor mongering)

Teenaged character death occurs and is viewed as tragic but necessary (P3) (Where the antis at yelling about how atlus is NORMALIZING self sacrifice for the better good)

The perception of you put upon you by others is to be broken, or examined, before casting off or accepting (P4) (Something I wish most Antishippers would take to heart. Seriously when Kanjis social link is about learning that underneath his tough guy attitude is a kind, protective, sweet dude you'd THINK the lesson would fly true BIT NOPE. )

Can we stop implying i'm stupid and not appriciating the nuances of life for wanting to see time travel in dnd

I mean it's Weird that liam has to Agree w me for that to be an okay opinion to have but like

:( sorry nonnie i hate it too. you’re no bother at all and i feel sad that i can’t stick around for people like you. i decided to stop watching the show and leave the fandom, mostly to do with my own health and life situation and not wanting social media / fandom to take up such a big space (sadly i can’t moderate it to take up a healthy/normal amount). but it also has plenty to do with the state of the fandom as it stands (and has stood for about a year and a half tbh). 

i tried my best to be diplomatic and friendly to people, but it started to feel a lot like high school (as kc once described) and it felt hard to keep my head above water and concentrate on the show/content without things becoming personal. i must admit that most of my feelings about the show were heavily influenced by other fans toward the end (either wanting to agree with some or disliking others so much that i wanted to disagree with them on principle). rebecca is a great example of a character who has never been consumed on her own right, and you couldnt develop any feelings about her (positive or negative) without it somehow seeming to have been influenced by how you felt about the ship. at this point i wouldn’t call myself a shipper, an anti, or anything, really, because I’m unable to muster enough feelings to care, and i think that’s mostly a *good* thing because it’s how i felt back when i first started watching before i got so heavily invested. i think thats a sign of being back toward a healthier place.

i promise there are plenty of welcoming and non-intimidating people still around, if you can manage to swerve the ones who aren’t. and a lot of people have a certain persona on their blogs that doesn’t necessarily match what you get if you talk to them privately. i have never ever regretted unfollowing people who made it hard to enjoy the show when they weren’t being nice to other fans. it’s never worth following them if they’re being rude or condescending.
