I Don't Know What to Think of the Fandom Right Now.

I'm sitting here not knowing what to think because I've been doing research on things to finally gain peace of mind about everything and so many of the people I would have respected to some level before have been revealed to me as massive hypocrites and assholes with no excuse or much to be defended for.

 

I'm at some sort of peace now because I see where I stand clearly, but I don't know if I like it because these people claimed to stand for all the things I love about this fandom and turned out to just be more liars hiding behind a mask to further their own ego and agenda. It's a major letdown because I don't know where to turn or who else is doing the same and I look at the people these individuals have emotionally manipulated with pity and sadness because I now they've been used just as much as any of us.

 

There's one of these people that hurts more than the others though because I've followed things he's worked on for years and had real respect for him until he fell for it and showed himself to be a self-righteous egotistical ass.

 

Hear, have this song because through all this I think Mando is one of the best and most sincere out of our big names and this song is an ideal I still believe in:

Weird...out of all of the complaints from inside the fandom about a certain fandom-goer, Mando is usually the one they target.

There's one thing that people tend to overlook when thinking of this fandom:

 

It consists from the very same people every other fandom consists of, it's not attended by superhumans, we're all just different units from different parts of the world.

Sure, the show is all about any and all positive aspects of humanity you could ever think of, but the issue is that we cannot just endlessly squeeze our emotions inside and walk around happy all the time.

 

For example, personally I expect NOBODY to openly express and stand behind all these positive aspects. But I expect everyone to try. And that's what matters in my opinion, whether we are trying to do so or just stick around because the show is 'awesome'.

 

Just because the show is so innocent doesn't mean that we automatically are as well.

 

Hope I'm helping D:

 

Cheers.

I feel you bro, I feel you......

If you're having trouble looking at the world, humanity or whatever, it'll help to seek new perspectives on things. That's the principal thing that I've been doing to find honest ways of coping with things that create dissonance in me; namely that whole thing about liars, hypocrites, tools and manipulators among us. What perspective will you need to take in order to integrate all of your experiences; the good and the bad, into your being? That'll be something you'll have to discover for yourself.

 

People can give you their perspectives which can be very helpful in discovering what possible perspectives there are but ultimately you're going to have to pick up the bits and pieces that'll work best for you.

The issue isn't with the main person I refer to isn't being human so much as being held up as a saint when they've done(and still do) nothing production and do deplorable and manipulative things.

Oh, it's THAT kind of issue :l

 

Derp.

 

Yeah, I don't understand fake 'authority' either, don't worry :P

Said part is I feel sad for their dwindling supports rather that angry because I see good-hearted people been emotionally manipulated into seeing them as a victim and been taken advantage of. 

 

That's why this person makes my blood boil so much. The way they've used deceit and emotional manipulation to take advantage of good people and turn them against the rest of us.

You know, you aren't the first fan I've conversed with that has had to deal with this....I think this is actually becoming more and more of a problem within our fandom. :(

It IS. The self-proclaimed moral crusaders who use it as mask to conceal their toxic personalities and manipulate others into thinking they're just victims are ripping this place apart and causing civil war after civil war within the fandom.

 

It pains me even more when they turn their supporters fury on those that seem to be legitimately nice people.

I know what you're feeling, and I understand, this fandom is complex and the tangled web of someone's agenda also makes me uneasy. Regardless, I want to do what I can to support any fan, who had be used and abused, I have been trolled once already, and I admit it did hurt and it was personal, I wish the fandom didn't have these issues, but for anyone on the forums know this, Mondo's song here is the thriving endurance we have, for the good thing is we do not have to sulk alone, there are some good people here, and that is why I keep coming back.

I understand, and agree, completely. There seems to be some in discernible hostility that wasn't here say, a year ago. Because of this I constantly leave. But the fellowship it brings is too great to resist, so I'm always coming back.

Perhaps things will change, I don't know.

I'm hoping this turns out to be the law of fandom jackassery kicking in and things improve over the next couple years now that the explosions have finally happened so they can cleaned up.

Oh, THAT kind of people. Now I finally know what you mean precisely.

 

Although to be honest, I cannot relate much... Throughout I think nearly 2 years I'm around the fandom I've met literally two people like this. But it only manifests itself when you allow it to become personal.

 

I'm generally oblivious to such events (or fandom inside problems in general too), so I guess I don't understand entirely what's this about :P

 

Ignorance is bliss, they say :)
