And then there's me, getting back into fandom in 2024 after an unexpectedly long hiatus of nine years, finding a completely different world from the one I once left, taking this for the natural course of life until realizing that it was essentially one event that messed everything up beyond repair. Well ... :D One clear symptom of what's been going on could really be the whole "You're a bad person if you don't do what I want you to do!" attitude, something I don't recall being a thing prior to that. Now that I'm thinking about that, this would actually encourage me to keep doing what I want, if only to spite this very sort of people. ^^ But yeah, there's an amazingly slow maturing process among some of them, given that the first wave of COVID has already passed six years ago, which gives me rather little hope for the generation of fans in question ... But then again, growing older also means listening to annoyingly loud voices as little as possible. So go ahead and haunt your fandom! :D
