Man, lemme tell you, this transition was a TRIP to watch in realtime.

Anyone who thinks this is a good thing deserves to be stabbed.

Bruh I remember in 2011 I was doing the glomp shit and saying “hubbeh.” Give that shit back to me yall. This fuckin fandoms sabotaging creators to get what they want shit needs to go

Fandom in the 2000s and early 10s was just kids being kids. Fandom today is young adults telling kids to kill themselves over the wrong ship.

I’ve noticed the amount of self-inserts has also gone down and I’m gonna assume that’s because of cringe culture? Like … ship yourself with fictional characters, my dudes. Go wild. Have fun.

I also miss the days when the “fandom wars” over favorite characters/ships was all in good fun and nobody was gonna show up in your inbox with an 8 page Ex day about why X character/ship is problematic and how dare you.

I long for the days when shipping was a joyous hobby and everyone abides by the first rule of dont like; dont read. watching fandoms go down a dark and violent spiral that culminated in making people eat needle laden cookies over shipping disputes and threatening leaks of shows if a ship wasnt canon was aweful. It does seem that people have learned how horrible it got and ive seen less fighting over differing ships in the last two years though as well as the revival of DL;DR. I can only hope this trend continues until shipping is nothing more than a casual hobby again.
