The Curse Of Modern Fandom Is That It Has Allowed Fans To Get Even Closer To Artists, But They Won't

The curse of modern fandom is that it has allowed fans to get even closer to artists, but they won't view the artists as people.

Human limits, human mistakes, human feelings, human needs, are never ascribed to artists, and when other fans rightfully point out, "hey, humans are making this, maybe don't harass them or demand they cater to your personal tastes," it gets shut down under, "uh, people who make popular mainstream things are automatically Public Figures who are also probably rich, so eat the rich and destroy artists over every perceived minor fault. <3"

Even though there's, y'know, a really big strike currently going on because those artists are very much not rich or influential or in control of the bullshit.

The Eye is a symbiote with all other fears, the Spiral and the Eye equal the Web, all of the fears are Vast-coded, the Stranger needs to rebrand to avoid just being the Hunt again (same with the Spiral tbh), and the Dark needed more attention. send post
