It is genuinely baffling to witness the collapse of fandom culture the last few years. Everyone is so fucking entitled, it’s has to be about shipping, there has to be discourse.
Like what happened to engaging in the thing that you love and enjoying it and the art that comes?
I generally think fans deserve nothing and no input because every time fans affect a story, it's usually a net negative. Like I shouldn't have to see a plotline discontinued because fans are irritated that it's getting in the way of shipping or a fan-desired side plot.
