I had a feeling once the players could introduce the LIs like actual romantic partners and the Home feature was added we were stepping over a line from interesting story to an even more predatory practice than gachas already are. Disappointing direction.

Interview with The Vampire (2022—)

And I cannot say even now that I regret Claudia, that I wish I had never seen her, nor held her, nor whispered secrets to her, nor heard her laughter echoing through the shadowy gaslighted rooms of that all too human town house in which we moved amid the lacquered furniture and the darkening oil paintings and the brass flowerpots as living beings should. Claudia was my dark child, my love, evil of my evil. Claudia broke my heart.

I don’t make a lot of original posts here anymore. Mostly because they were for me and no one else really needed to see them, others were just sorely misinterpreted. And that’s kind of the problem.

Fandom for the last 6 or so years has become very unwelcoming and so many people treat each other as bad actors. Like sincerity and earnestness are all read in bad faith. I go into tags for media I enjoy and scroll through some wonderful fanart, fics, gifs, etc. and then get to a point where it’s wall to wall text posts about how This Is The Correct Way To Interpret The Thing, or If You Like This Interpretation You’re Evil, or If You Think That’s What It Means You’re An Absolute Idiot A Buffoon A Moron Of The Highest Order.

Even my own attempts at engaging with fandom in recent years have been met with willful misinterpretation, just people putting words in my mouth. And I don’t mind being corrected if there’s something I’ve missed, but it’s beyond that into straight mocking or entirely misrepresenting what I’ve said.

Fandom has propagated moral indignation as a forward interaction and uses it to put a lot of people down and demoralize engagement. I feel it’s also used as this kind of shield for when fandom doesn’t want to interrogate its own failings and issues—it’s easier to make out like you’re the victim, or that if someone disagrees with you it’s because they’re actually bad people normalizing bad things. Because nuance is dead and all fiction correlates to real life, I guess.

And I’m not wanting to discount racism, misogyny, homophobia, or transphobia in fandom. I know those have been problems forever and have made fandom entirely unwelcoming for much, much longer for many more people than myself. Saying fandom didn’t used to be like that is disingenuous. But, something is still different now. Like, it’s very difficult to have a genuine discussion without it quickly devolving into finger pointing and smugness.

I don’t know. I’m not really looking for answers as there’s far too many factors and fandom is too unmoderated and divided to really tackle any of it. I guess I’m just talking to myself, thinking out loud. Missing when it was easier to make friends via fandom than getting anxious whether a notification is the 20th stranger picking an argument I have no skin in.
