How to enjoy a fandom:
- Don't engage with discourse
- Engage with artists/creatives instead
- Block freely and often
- Try to limit your interactions to those +20 of age
- Don't become parasocial or put others on a pedestal
- Be kind and respectful to your peers
The Amazing Digital Circus fandom is one of the most well served fandoms that I have ever seen. Free global youtube releases for every episode is something most fandoms could only ever dream of.
I really hope you start to show some more appreciation for the creatives who put their blood, sweat, and tears into making your show. Frankly, I'm embarrassed at the entitlement I've witnessed. I understand it is likely that many of you are young and have never had to experience the inconvenience of partial releases. I once had to wait a full year to watch a movie for my favourite franchise and had to dodge spoilers the entire time. Could the animation studio have just released it on YouTube for free? Yes. But that would have led to an intense loss in revenue. The fact that indie animation studios like Glitch have been able to make that happen for you is a miracle. It's something you should celebrate. Not use against them the second they want to, just once for the finale of their show, do an early release in theaters, which is a historic achievement for indie studios, by the way.
They had every right to want to monetize and reward themselves. And yet, they STILL pushed and pushed to get you the free release as early as possible, in spite of the protestations of the cinema corporations that have every right to want it to be exclusive for longer.
That is a studio that truly loves its global fandom. I wish more of you realized that.
This is it. The FINALE to Digital Circus is coming June 19!!! And as a special surprise... the finale will be screened alongside ep 8 starting June 4th - TWO weeks early - IN US, LATIN AMERICA, JAPAN AND CANADIAN THEATRES! Tickets are available right now!
