Hyperfixaredweirdo - Local Weirdo

So I stumbled on this tik tok today and tried my best to only include the text bc I’m not trying to attack anyone or bring to much attention to it since im only using it as an example.

this is something that I’m very tired of seeing in fandom spaces, especially on the internet and especially in the pjo fandom. I myself LOVE Percabeth and I hate perachel, (I think that’s the first time I’ve typed “perachel” lol) But what I’ve learned to do growing up in this fandom is that yes, I CAN BLOCK ANYONE WHO POSTS ABOUT PERACHEL. AND SO CAN YOU. I CAN BLCOK THE PERACHEL TAG. AND SO CAN YOU. I DONT HAVE TO INTERACT WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO SHIP PERACHEL. AND NEITHER DO YOU. Bc what ends up happening when you get into an unwarranted debate with someone over fictional characters over the internet is that you end up insulting REAL PEOPLE. PEOPLE THAT EVEN OF YOU BELIEVE TO BE “STUPID” OR “WEIRD” OR WHATEVER, AT THE END OF THE DAY. YOU DONT KNOW THAT.

DONT BE MEAN TO REAL PEOPLE OVER FICTIONAL CHARACTERS.

and it’s not just with the Percabeth vs perachel debate you can use the “out of sight out of mind” mentality with any other topic in any other fandom. Nerdy fandom things are supposed to be fun, and there is nothing wrong with blocking or ignoring people who don’t share the same opinions as u. With so many other things in the real world that actually do need to be debated on and thought hard about, fictional stories doesn’t have to be one of them. Not if it’s gonna cause harm to real people.

I just opened a bank account for the first time. The teller was nice enough to address me instead of my mother the whole time.

I almost shat my pants.

I’m literally so happy for her she totally deserves it🫶🫶🫶

after all of the hate she’s experienced, this image of imane khelif with her gold medal is a joy to see ❤️

you don't have to accept an entire fandom to enjoy it. fandom can be your 3 friends and a corn chip and honestly that's gonna make you much happier in the long run.

Im so mad at the pjo for… existing tbh. The movies did not destroy the chances for a good faithful adaptation to be made one day, but the Disney show did. Disney had a good budget, great actors, and most importantly, an already established fanbase. A fanbase so loyal to Rick, that they refuse to admit that the show is JUST NOT GOOD. But again they are so loyal to it simply bc Rick’s association an approval is attached to it. I think the fandom would be more critical of it if Rick’s name was removed. And now even if another studio or company were to pick up the story, it would simply be dismissed by the fandom. Even if it was more loyal and true adaptation to the books. So tragic tbh.
