you can still like a series without associating with a fandom, like how a lot of fans of mlp refuse to be called bronies. a lot of the Bad Fans(tm) are young teens and are still learning, unfortunately this website gives them a platform to publicly harass people and get other people too as well. ignore the fandom and the series will become more enjoyable

considering there’s no term for a steven universe fan other than a steven universe fan, I don’t think that is applicable. the only way to not associate myself with the fandom would be to stop participating in theories and fanart and just watch it as is and as someoen who loves theories and making fanart, that sounds boring to me. Also, doing that would be a variation of the no true scottsman fallacy. I’m not going to deny the fact that I am a fan of the show and participate in making fanworks and ignoring the bad of the fandom doesn’t work, trust me. It just makes the fandom as a whole seem worse because denying that these things are happening within the group seems like it’s condoning their actions. I do not under any circumstance condone harassment so I will not ignore it or act like it doesn’t happen.
