Needs More Backtracking

30-odd years of gaming in one tired, cynical ADHD package.

Mina the Hollower is as good as everyone has been saying. Although, it does seem to cause an above average quantity of swears.

how are you gonna be 31 and posting fandom content bro leave it to the teenagers

People 10 and 20 years older than me are writing your favorite fanfics, and drawing your favorite characters. You'd have no fandom without the people you think are 'too old' to have hobbies.

[emachinescat]

This mentality is so insanely frustrating. Why do teenagers think that people have to give up their hobbies, give up fun, when they reach a certain age? Like??

When I was a teenager writing fic, I remember finding out that one of my favorite authors was in her 50s and that just was SUCH a revelation for me!! What do you mean, 50 year olds can write fanfic?!? Does that mean I can write fics when I'm her age?? That's AWESOME! I seriously looked up to her so much. And now I'm 35 with a husband and kid, and I'm still writing fanfic and posting fandom content - and I have no plans of stopping!

If you try to drive 30+ people out of fandom, you're going to lose the backbone of said fandom!

The ageism in fandom is fucking insane. It’s strange that people seem to have the idea that fandom was created by and for teenagers… It was not. It was created by adults. How would we have ao3 if only teenagers were in fandom?

I don’t want to sound like I am hating on younger people in fandom, but god, y’all need to stop it with the ageism. You don’t have to give up what you love once you’re an adult. Honestly, the belief that you have to is pretty bad. It sounds like it would make people afraid of aging. Granted, modern society is so very afraid of aging.

Don’t give up what you love just because you’re an adult. You don’t have to. And don’t try to force others to do it either.

Fandom has to be multi-generational.

Teenagers don't have the resources and skills to build something like AO3, it has to be people with degrees and money doing that, and that translates to a 30+ crowd. But teenagers especially need the protection and legal advocacy that something like AO3 offers them.

Part of the reason the then 30- and 40-somethings who built AO3 did what they did was so that someone with as few resources and as little support as the average 15-year-old fic author can safely and comfortably share their fanfic and find fic to read.

When you attack and belittle older fans for daring to be fans, you're not just being cruel to people who share your hobby and write fic you enjoy, you're attacking the very same people who make your hobby possible for you in the first place.

"Shenanigans" appears quite frequently in my lexicon. My friend uses "Skedaddle" a lot. But I'm surprised my favourite word of all - "PANTALOONS" - isn't on this list.

Just to put this into perspective: I'm a nurse. For me to make 600k, on my wages, I would need to work 16,406 hours, which works out to 2050 shifts. There are 8760 hours in a year.

For me to be able to make what these pricks make in ONE day, I would need to work every second of every day for nearly TWO YEARS, without spending a single cent. And on my normal work schedule, that is the equivalent if working for 10 years without spending a single cent. Oh and the final kick in the guts? I pay more than these grubs in tax, so that the government can give it straight back to them while saying that they can't afford to give us nurses a payrise or better conditions, refuse to fund Medicare properly and cut 160,000 people off the NDIS!!

TAX. THE. FUCKING. RICH!
