A space to chat fandom! Anon!

Got a WIP you're excited about? Want to rave about your fave? Or is your fandom absolutely in love with a character who detracts from every scene they bumble into, and you need somewhere to vent? You're in the right place!

Re: Fandom Venting - ONTD

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, it sounds awful. :( I was involved in fandom until 2010ish, on fandom-specific forums, THE WAY GOD INTENDED; took a break because the community was imploding a bit and I'd got busy with other things, and when I came back the remainder of the community had burned down and scattered, and any alright people from beforehand whom I could still find were kind of crawling out of the ashes muttering about the horrors of antis. So I think I missed the worst of the Tumblr Judgement Age re: fandom (still saw enough socjus discourse to last 20000 lifetimes) and it does at least seem like things are swinging back a bit now... But I completely missed that official accounts were doing that shit! Way to completely kill a fandom before it could get started!

I've never even attempted to do twitter. Don't have an account, don't want one. I guess I can see why artists use it post-tumblr-nsfw-ban, but I don't know why anyone else does. Forums already existed. Why did people switch to a platform which hampered communication in every possible way. Gah.
