the dual demands for people to take fanfiction seriously as an artistic pursuit (commonly expressed in sentiments like “Dante’s inferno is technically fanfiction!”) while also demanding to be intellectually coddled at every turn, to never be criticised for their behaviour in online fan spaces, to never have any of their tastes or media habits questioned, is like the tumblr version of the same crowd who started gamergate, the types who want video games to be viewed as legitimate while simultaneously launching harassment campaigns against several women who, taking video games seriously as art, dared to make the bold and controversial statement “some video games are sexist”
