Back then:
Want to join a fandom just do it! The more the merrier have fun and enjoy the content
Now:
Umm excuse me we need a full on background check of what you said and did in the elementary to highschool make sure you're not a racist, homophobic pedo :^). Oh and if you're not a survivor please choke and don't ship [ long list of problematic things in fiction] BUT if you are please turn in a paper in MLA format about your trauma which will get back to in 5-10 business days. So yeah our fandom is very welcoming so have fun but not to much fun m'kay :))))
