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.
The thing is, that "normal" people who enjoy something, they will enjoy it and then move on with their lifes. Even if they want to discuss or share their recent experience with other people who had the same experience, they will do it for few days and move on.
At the end, any "normal" person values real life more than fantasy worlds that we experience by reading books, watching anime/movies/shows or playing games.
Therefore "fandoms" are full with people who are obsessed with things they enjoy. These people stick around all the time, they can't stop thinking about it, because their life sucks and they can't deal with it.
Being obsessed with something is obviously not healthy and these people are mostly disturbed.
