If youu’ve been active in the Snyder Cut campaign, you’re gonna want to give this a read

The most pathetic part of any fandom

Me: I really enjoy this (insert movie/tv show/character/etc).

Some asshole:

Me: It’s funny how you think you’re the fucking boss of me and that I need the approval of your narrow minded judgmental ass

Title speaks for itself. Dude totally gets it.

What I got out of the 2010s

If you enjoy something and believe it to be good, there’s nothing wrong with that and you are in no way obligated to change your stance.

And if others try to dictate otherwise by trying to invalidate your opinion by saying you don’t have any taste, that you only like it out of nostalgia, you’re not a “real fan” or some dumb crap like that, it only shows their overwhelming insecurity.

Enjoy what you love, no matter what other people say.

All the unnecessary hate against Zack Snyder and David Ayer, along with comic book debates in general(mainly everything was better in my childhood and all comic book material has to be strictly “fun”) really helped me reconnect with anime because discourse like “Who would win fight between Goku and All Might” and “Who will Asta marry in Black Clover” is a relaxing spa day in comparison.

Some idiot: Snyder fans are not real DC fans.

Me, a DC fan who have been following DC-related content since the 2001 JL cartoon, loves Snyder’s contribution to the DCEU and optimistic about projects that he’s not involved in:

In a recent post created by @comingupforblair I discovered a review for Shazam by @ladyjenevia. It was a great watch and it got me thinking.

So we can agree that it’s tiring to go through a review for a film that starts out positive but eventually falls into the tangent of whining how Man of Steel ‘ruined muh childhood’ or how the person can’t get over the Martha moment in BvS. I  feel to aide each other and to save us multiple headaches of dealing with detractors we should share articles, videos, and personalities that are truly optimistic for the DCEU whenever we run across them. It may be hard to find but I feel that every little bit we can get will help us surviving this fandom more bearable.

 Some could twist this around and say that this is some desperate attempt to create an echo chamber for fanboys of the DCEU. But I’ll gladly take that over the invasive echo chamber of how every superhero media has to be exact replica of the MCU or else it’s a blasphemy against god.

I have no issue with standalone solo films but I’m gonna be pissed if I don’t get to see these great heroes interact with each other.

I still want a connected DC films universe.

I want to see these heroes team up again.

Regardless of what may happen for the future of the DC extended universe, all I can ask is for that the DCEU be its own thing and not a full blown ripoff of the MCU. Also in Superman’s case: move on from the Richard Donner era it’s not 1978 anymore.

Raise your hand if you’ve been told “You’re not a real fan of X if you love Y” and you didn’t buy that crap for a minute.

Having a preference for darker material does not make you an edgelord or emo.

If you prefer lighter stuff that’s fine but don’t ever call me or anyone else an edgelord because we like things that have a darker tone. Also don’t expect me to hold back calling you a bunch of overgrown 3 year olds because I’m getting sick of that shit.

My take on why fandoms are getting worse.

Person A: Despite what other people say, I love this game/movie/tv show/book/etc.

Person B: You’re the worst person alive and I hope you kill yourself.

Person A: Why is it a problem that I enjoy something that you don’t?

Person B: Because I can’t possibly live on with my life unless everyone thinks the same way as me even though what you do has no direct consequence on what I enjoy. Again kill yourself.

You know if you like a film, game, tv show, whatever it is you enjoy you are in no way obligated to say “I know it’s flawed but,” because 

A. Everything has flaws if you look hard enough or just nitpicky.

B. It only gives more power to the haters which leads into dumb responses of “Oh we have an apologist/a person who’s clearly in denial”

Fuck that shit
