I’m always so confused when younger people in a fandom ostracize the fandom’s older members. Like, hello, those are our predecessors? Are you going to bully the OG “I like your shoelaces thanks I stole them from the president” MVPs? Would you disrespect the brave women in the 70s who died for our sins writing Spirk fanfiction? Respect the elders who literally prepared this space for you and set up the infrastructure for you to enjoy your favorite media in community with others.

when the destiel fic has both religious guilt AND internalized homophobia tags so ik whatever im about to read is going to destroy me emotionally for days to come
