#'fandom rant' anon#yes feel free to always come to me if you want to rant <3 i get it lol#and yeah i've definitely noticed that to- i love people not blindly following their faves and having a healthy level of criticism#because that's super important! hero worship is never good!#but yeah then you get some people who fall back on that when they legitimately don't seem to like them or one of them anymore#and it begs the question why they're still here if they're disappointed by everything they do#not in a 'how dare you be disappointed in my fave way!!!!!' (because i don't care) but in the way that they don't seem happy to be here#i do think it's complex because people have complicated relationships with these kinds of things- like they used to bring you joy but now#they don't and it's hard to give something up#but there's some people i genuinely think would be happier if they took a step back so they could realize whether this fandom is genuinely#something that makes them happy or not#and then proceed from there#because they just seem to be angrier and angrier or sadder and sadder as they move through the fandom#and even though we deal with some heavier topics in this fandom- it is still a fandom and the purpose should be having fun#and yesss about what you said about expectations#i really dislike the catastrophizing that happens in fandom so often#like i understand trying to brace yourself for the worst but when you're constantly spreading the worst case scenario#it's just.... needlessly miserable. especially when the worst case scenario doesn't happen the majority of the time so you end up with so#many people anxious or disappointed about something that hasn't even happened yet lmao#and like you said- it doesn't end up being a 'bracing yourself' situation when people are just as angry and disappointed when it does happen#and also 100% about people getting mad at others for not being angry enough or sad enough- that is entirely unfair and more of#a 'misery loves company' than anything because this is a FANDOM. you should want people to have fun! you shouldn't want them to be stressed#and anxious constantly over celebrity's lives. we have enough anxiety about our own lives lmao#sorry this is making your fandom experience worse than it needs to be :/ it is hard to avoid sometimes#hopefully you find people to follow that make you more happy than sad or anxious#ily!!#asks#anonymous
