@cluckorbawk I agree with this very much. I know βstan-cultureβ was a thing when we were younger, but social media has made it so much worse. In these fandoms you have to give it your all. You need to be all in on something to prove that you like it, that you like it more than other fans.
@cluckorbawk has changed at all. The younger generation has just stollen these looks or ideals without any regard for what came before. Itβs very similar in tattoo culture at the moment. So many kids are getting hand/ neck tattoos as their first, which any artist would argue should be earned.
