I genuinely mean it. I know every anime I like the fandom is just filled with annoying Tumblr/Twitter fans (should I even call them that?). At least a couple years ago I could be in a fandom but not all of it was filled with annoying Tumblr users, there’d be some sane people left. Now it’s like there’s no sane people anymore in fandom. Can there at least be one anime fandom where headcanons and sexuality aren’t forced upon a character?
I recently just got into Trigun and I was browsing Aliexpress for merch and saw a button saying “I watched Trigun and now I’m blonde and transgender” like what the hell does that mean? How does an anime with Christian themes to it attract these types of people? Like get outta here lol.
Idk it just sucks being an anime fan in this current time.
Mainstream culture has gone insane and it seeps into every aspect of society as far as I can tell. I don't think there's anywhere that's safe now. The closest thing to sanctuary I've found has been my martial arts class. It's the only place I've had for years now that's either politically neutral or actively makes fun of the danger hairs and their ilk.
All online spaces seem to be thoroughly fucked though.
What type of martial arts are you taking?
