the way quarantine changed the way a large chunk of people consume tv is so obvious to me and it needs to change asap
#like not even from a binging pov#but fandom wise ppl r so much more fucking weird and obsesive about their shows#biggest examples to me is#euphoria s1 was like pretty chill and everyone was like yes this is a good show#s2 comes around and its literally all everyone is talking about for that month the memes r over the top and overused#but it means they convinently ignore any important themes and character choices#and it feels like ppl r watching the show to talk about and meme it rather than just watch it for their own sake which is w/e but weird#and then STRANGER THINGS#st has always had a big fandom but its never been that weird imo#like s3 came out and obvs everyone talked about it but no one was THAT obsessive about it#(except maybe some IT fans that overlapped tht r obsessed w finn)#but s4 came out and once again people are so weird w how they interact w it#making so many unfunny tiktok audios and running them into the ground (chrissy wake up)#and being obsessively weird about joe quinn as if theyve never liked a celeb before#like no other actor (except maybe finn but even then i dont think it was ever this bad) got treated this way from the show#like stalking taking pics asking the chrissy girl what he smells like??? its all very invasive and everyones forgotten how to act#i cant be the only one to have notice this weird shift in how ppl consume these show#maybe its just bc a bunch of 13 year olds are watching for the first time and havent learnt how to act#but even then there will always be 13 year olds#and im not saying ppl have never acted this way bc they have but it was always on a smaller scale where a large majority were like ehh#i blame the mcu tiktok and hp
