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.
Yeah you’re right, there’s always been weirdos in fandom. I think sometimes I just have rose colored glasses on and forget lol.
But yeah, it sucks, I want to be in fandom to see people discuss theories or the meanings and themes behind certain stories but half of the time it’s just idiots spouting “I think (insert character) is (insert made up gender here)” and it’s like is there any fandom that doesn’t have annoying people like this?
