actually the worst demographic on this site isn’t kinnies or smug anime girl icon reactionaries it’s those fandom moms who unironically post shit like “if you rugrats try to tell me i don’t belong in fandom spaces then prepare to get rekt little fetus. i was here long before you and my taxes are a bigger emotional threat to me than some whiny infant XD” like ma'am you are 30 years old
hey op can you maybe not pretend that older women act this way entirely unprovoked and instead bc a lot of younger folks have this entitled attitude about fandom spaces where they unironically tell 30+ year olds that they’re gross for enjoying fandom and should leave when those spaces that they think “”“belong”“” to them wouldn’t actually exist without those older women setting up the foundation of fandom as we know it today :)
Srsly. It’s very much a response to fandom’s misogyny and refusal to acknowledge that older women are allowed to have non-mainstream interests— I’ve seen so many young people tell adults in fandom to go knit or do their taxes or spend time with their children or otherwise try to devalue the amount of time, energy and enjoyment older women put into and create in fandom. And it’s really just a reiteration of the standard sexism that devalues anything adult women have interest in. Especially since that hatred is rarely leveled with the same kind of virulence at men.
And then when those women push back, they get called troublemakers and worse than reactionary racists.
