June Something Day 11
Jun. 11th, 2021 11:13 amDay 11: What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?
I actually left fandom in general for years after the FFN Purge of 2002, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The less said about that the better.
In terms of a single fandom, drama and hostility will stop me getting involved with the social side of being in a fandom, but I'm perfectly capable of enjoying something without actually interacting with anyone else, and have done that before when I've enjoyed something but the fans were constantly flinging shit at each other. It's lonely, but I'm just not willing to watch people harass and bully others over an opinion or a ship.
There is enough room in the fandom ocean for all the ships.
