Lets Have A Talk About Fandom Gatekeeping.

Let’s have a talk about fandom gatekeeping.

We are going to be extremely welcoming to the movie fans. When someone comes in and says, “This movie is my favorite! Wait, there’s a book?” then what are we going to say?

“Fake fan”? Nope!

We’re going to say “We’re super glad to have you! If you’re interested, the original series is really great!”

And if they say “Oh that’s cool, but I don’t really read.” then what are we going to say?

“Fake fan”? Nope!

We’re going to say, “Okay! Who’s your favorite character?”

Because why would you throw away the opportunity to make a great friend just because you’re feeling superior?

Yes, we want people to enjoy the original books because we love them so much. But one of the great things about fandoms is how everyone loves different parts. You’d be hard-pressed to name a character that doesn’t have a diehard fan in this fandom (well, maybe Alina, but that’s it). So if someone fixates on the movie… what’s the problem again?

Yes, even if the movie is terrible. People romanticize the Percy Jackson fandom for their almost-universal rejection of the movies. I frankly don’t think that was a good thing. Because that means that all of the fans that came in that loved the movie were chased out.

So please. Welcome all of the new fans. Don’t be a gatekeeper.
