Every fandom is shit. No fandom is pure. If you say your fandom is pure and hasn’t done anything wrong, then you’re part of the reason it’s trash.
That being said, you can gauge how bad a fandom is by the general consensus within the fandom on it’s purity status. homestucks, bronies and superwholocks know their fandoms are trash. The worst they do is porn and shoving the fandom crap in your face. occasionally harass someone off of tumblr. And they acknowledge these things happen.
The SU fandom has ruined a small business and tried to barr an entire fandom from “joining” because they were afraid it would “taint their pure fandom” as though there wasn’t already porn of the gems. Like, the reason why it’s a rule of the internet that if it exists there is porn of it. there’s been porn since episode two, long before it became wildly popular. They’ve driven people to near suicide over headcanons and then when the show writers said people are free to have their own headcanons, the fandom harassed the writers off of twitter. And they continue to harass people for headcanons. People who say that headcanoning a character as bi is apparently lesbophobic. And I’ve seen the same people who say that then spout biphobic and acephobic crap. The steven universe is trash. it’s the worst fandom I have ever seen. and they still claim their fandom is pure.
I only hope that one day there will be an episode to address horrible fans, because the writers are clearly done with your shit.
For fucks sakes it’s cartoon for crying out loud, we get it you fucking love the show! That doesn’t mean you need to go all superwholock on people just because they say otherwise, Especially not to the people who work on the show. Like what the fuck, who does that!?
at this point, that sounds more like an insult to superwholock than to steven universe fandom.
You’re right, at least SWL never harassed the creators of their respective shows.(or at least haven’t seen anything about it.)
well, they sent death threats to the amanda abbington because the sherlock portion of SWL wanted martin freeman and benadict cumberbatch to be gay so bad but the harassment wasn’t enough to drive her off twitter.
