I fucking hate this "capitalism is when you make money, the more money you make, the more capitalism it is" mindset people have gotten. No, an artist selling their own work is not them engaging in capitalism, it's literally a worker owning their own means of production.
Remember capitalism is someone profiting off of someone else's labor though owning capital. It is not simply the act of profiting at all.

Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler returning is wild to me. It's from an era of my life that is so foreign to who I am today that it evokes something akin to nostalgia but feels closer to grief. Memories of writing and experiencing fandom and having such a silly little time in a world so different from what we experience now.
Sebastian is so beautiful, still.
The shipping will be grotesque, still. But watching this era of the internet drop their think pieces at a fandom that is simply built so fucking different is going to be hilarious. The unhinged young adults from way back are now essentially fandom elders who will laugh from afar as the puritanical weebs gnaw each other limb from limb. If any of my peers wade into the fire, good luck. That's not for me.
I was able to wade through the muck of the fandom because I loved the presentation of the Victorian Era and the supernatural mystery of it all. I fell off at some point, don't even know what arc or what was happening. I've forgotten more than I can even recall about the whole thing.
It's hard to put into words.
I don't know whether I'll check out the new anime or not, but I'll certainly admire it from afar and think about how far I've come since it held such a warm place in my heart.
Damn.

Exactly. Me, who cut my teeth in Harry Potter and Doctor Who ship wars....
Nah, things are still pretty mild. I literally got death threats over a ship before some of you were born.
(The very controversial ship in question was Doctor/Rose)
I keep seeing posts about "why are there cliques?" and "why is fandom so weird now?"
As someone who lived through the SnapeWives and MsScribe sagas, fandom has always been like this.
It reminds me of the Ancient Greek writers who debated whether Achilles or Patroclus topped and wrote extensively in dispute with each other about which of their blorbos was the catcher.
People have been arguing headcanons for millennia 😂
