The more I experience other geeky subcultures/fandoms through the people that I follow, the more I realise that the toxicity/gatekeeping/drama isn't specific to particular interests but that there are jerks and assholes everywhere.
I don't know how to solve that other than trying to set a good example and be a better person.
@renbymon Well, all I could do at this point is to be the best example I can be. Like Iβve always had for as long as I can remember.
@renbymon Itβs why I ditch the concept of fandom altogether and just enjoy things casually. The fact that the idea of casuals pisses them off is all the more reason to do so.
@ExpoDragon I think I should have used the word hobbies too; I've seen it in everything
@renbymon It's the only thing we can do. π
