This is depressing does anyone else find this depressing
I would actually make the argument that the heart of the problem here is not either about fans, as the article claims, or production companies being exploitative cowards, as some of the comments are claiming. The heart of the problem is the increasingly eroding privacy we are seeing in the modern age.
There’s some people in the comments saying “fandoms have always been like this” and others saying “No, it’s worse than it was.” And both are to some extent right. Fans (or at least a small percentage of fans, and the larger a fanbase gets the larger a group this will describe) have always been Like That; but they did not always have the level of access to creators and actors that they have now.
The notion that a performer needs to be constantly available to public scrutiny, that their personal information should by default be available to any rando with google, is pretty new. It used to be that actors would only be expected to engage with the public on limited, specific, and controlled occasions, usually with security provided. Now they’re being asked to rawdog exposure to the mob 24/7 on their own.
(Also, production companies have always always always been exploitative cowards, just to get that straight; reading the biographies of literally any actress from golden Hollywood years makes that clear. It’s just, again, more public now.)
There has also been a negative feedback loop as fandoms come to realize that the constant access they have to creatives increases their leverage and power. It did not use to be the case that this was so; fandoms pre-internet largely worked under the assumption that they didn’t really have any meaningful way to contact or influence the publication houses. Even if they sent a letter or a campaign of letters, they wouldn’t even know whether the letters were being received or read unless the publishing house chose to respond. So, without that expectation of access, the drama usually stayed internal. Nowadays, with constant immediate feedback from creators and publishers, fans are ever more incentivized to act out to try to push an agenda, get attention, or just vent whatever is going on in their lives onto a face contractually obliged to be friendly to them.

i think it’s really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it’s just totally unheard of. it’s the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book
what the fuck is a time knife
Time knife is a form of time knife

like logically ofc i know my sleep disorder is indeed a disorder but it’s still crazy to me that i have been taking my sleep meds every single night without fail for 3 months now, and as a result i have been sleeping by midnight and THROUGH the night every single night without fail for three months. but tonight i forgot to take it on time and now it’s almost 3 am and i’m awake. it doesn’t matter how long i stick to a rhythm, i will no magically become a healthy sleeper. these meds are genuinely life saving.
absolutely bonkers and actually MADDENING thinking about spending nearly three DECCAAAAADESSSS of my life believing i could just “fix” my schedule and get my sleep “on track.” LMAO. i was up at 4 am when i was 6 years old sneaking downstairs to watch TV in misery bc i couldn’t sleep and then i was still 32 YEARSSSS old like “no everyone listen THIS week i’m gonna avoid naps and go to bed on time and then i’ll sleep normal from now on. for real this time.”

AJVBJAS SHUT UP!!!! NO YOU WEREN’T BABY!!!!!!!!! YOU WERE NEVER GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THAT!!!!!!
i went to my doctor in march and i was like “man you gotta help me. i haven’t slept in 75 hours. and i know sometimes people say that but they really mean they’ve only slept 2 or 3 hours a night for several nights, which is awful of course, but i mean quite literally i haven’t slept in 75 hours. and i keep waiting to finally ‘crash’ but i don’t.”
and he was like, “has this ever happened to you before?”
and i said, “oh yeah loads of times, since i was a toddler.”
and he said, “why are you just now getting help?”
and i said, “well recently when i hit the 60 hour mark i’ve started hallucinating birds. and that’s new.”
and he said, “what do you mean, birds?”
and i said, “i don’t know, i think they’re house sparrows”
and he said, “i didn’t mean what kind of birds”
(true that’s not what he said but it was hard to parse the nuances of the conversation because there were a bunch of house sparrows in the room)

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

Okay, I was just going to reblog this without commentary, but I can’t keep this to myself. I’m a PhD student in environmental science and this is my fucking highway.
The first published study about climate change (that I am aware of– feel free to point out if there’s an older one) is an 1896 paper by Svante Arrhenius. He pointed out the link between the greenhouse effect and changes in atmospheric CO2.
Plate tectonics, which the geoscience community now recognizes as near indisputable, was a fringe theory until about the 1960s.
Just in case anyone thought that climate change was a “recent fad” in research.
It’s actually even older than that! Oldest I’ve heard of is Eunice Newton Foote in 1856. There was also another man a few years after her called John Tyndall that I have seen credited as the founder of modern climate science.
