#that said the nice thing about modern cons and geek culture is that the overlap with minority communities

it weirds me out sometimes how long the history of organised fandom and related stuff actually is. there were people holding sci-fi conventions in the 1940s. people have written fanfiction about kirk and spock hooking up for literally more than half a century. stuff like furry art and westerners watching anime are almost as old as that. when they held that doctor who 20th anniversary celebration in the early 80s there were people cosplaying at it. in a way it's honestly kinda amazing

#personal crap #that said the nice thing about modern cons and geek culture is that the overlap with minority communities #like poc and queer people is much more prominent #though it's especially nice to see signs it's not just been straight white men in geekdom all this time #sorry i probably sound really dorky rn
