Sir Valentine starts reaping what he sowed in this comic update on Patreon!

[memorizingthedigitsofpi]

There are lots of reasons why fandom is "quieter" now than it used to be. Some theories are more compelling to me than others, and they all have a different scale of impact. We'll never know for sure, of course, but I like to think about it. Thus, this poll.

Of the list below, which reason do you find most compelling or do you think had the biggest impact?

New entrants to fandom don't know the old ways

fandom olds didn't teach the newcomers how to fandom

covid/surge in fandom due to quarantine and lockdowns

"antis" and other harassment campaigns against creators

creators posting complaints about comments (people worry about commenting wrong)

rise of discord popularity - fandom is walled off from each other

tumblr porn ban and other reasons people left the site

capitalism turning fandom into a passive "view and move on" commodity

rules from social media impacting fan culture (eg. don't comment on old posts)

general state of the world / burnout

social anxieties in an increasingly complex online culture

"surveillance state" worries and not wanting to be perceived

Remaining time: 6 days 4 hours

This is an incomplete list, so if your most compelling reason isn't listed, feel free to add it in the notes.

wizard college is going to kill me I swear to god. I just saw someone without a component satchel reach into their pocket and pull out a handful of LOOSE tapioca to use as a substitute for blood in their fell ritual. and it worked. I've never been so fucking mad.

Finished Gideon the Ninth in two days

my Harrow comes in the mail later this week I might digest myself in that time

while it was on my TBR list for awhile, seeing your art of Gideon moved it higher up, and I’m so GLAD I finally got my grubby mitts on it

YESSSS LETS GOO one of us!!!

Have a gideon gummy for the wait until HTN gets to your hands. Look! No suspicious fence-post-shaped perforations in her! Just microscopic Gideon!

And when the time comes, good luck reading HTN, I barely survived that book. I'm but a ghost of what I used to be. Take it as you may

You are a mystery detective that solves fake monster crimes. When you finally meet real monsters, they reward you for being their most trusted agent against identity crimes
