sorry hold on. are people valorizing the past so strongly these days that now ppl think old fandoms were BETTER? like im sorry i really think the problem is just that you arent 12 anymore

#being a kid and not thinking abt the deeper implications of strange things ppl were doing at the time definitely makes it so #that you view that era as different from how you look at fandom spaces now when you DO think about those things #like. you do just have more fun as a kid thats just true. the reason youre not having fun is because u pay rent and have to use your brain #old tumblr fandom didnt care about incest or otherwise gross things to include in their ships. fucks sake when i was into spn in 2014 #one of the most popular ships was michael/lucifer. and i mean POPULAR like im not exaggerating even a little it was huge #and obviously we all know about The Other One but ppl seem to think it was niche/just weirdos doing it. No it was normal too #i mean i didnt partake but like. no one really said anything about it. and when ppl were definitely treating certain characters badly #(black people/women usually) that was always ignored and went completely uncriticized. like fandom spaces WERE BAD #and also were SO FUCKING STUPID. Like ppl doing the vapid shipping shit nowadays are not new even a little #those 'x reacts to you being pregnant' joke posts everyone makes now? Those used to be real and genuine. and there were A LOT. #Like im sorry guys fandom has just always sucked we need to just accept that. fandom is always stupid and always bad #txt
