So I saw someone comment "I've already seen this guy all over my tl, no way I can enjoy the anime"

And someone else replied "sorry that the annoying fans have ruined the experience for you "

Sorry, we're supposed to apologize for enjoying things too much now?

If you really like a show, do you just make one polite, chaste tweet about it and then stay quiet until the next episode the following week? I wouldn't think so.

Of course fandoms are annoying to people outside of them! Normies think we're all weird! And to see anime fans act like they've never spammed their account with their new obsession is downright hilarious.

It's okay! To be annoying! About something you enjoy! On your own damn account! Don't let anyone shame you out of having fun, we're in the middle of a global pandemic, that's the least we can do.

(And to be clear I'm not talking about people who hate on female characters or make stupid wiki edits - those people exist in every bigger fandom and there's always been that handful of stupid bored kids. Fuck em. But no one else deserves the hate.)
