I liked Star Wars as a kid, and as an adult the mythic storytelling and romantic potential kept me engaged.
I& #39;m not catering my fandom experiences to comfort people who fucking hate me anyway.
I want to add: I joined the fandom space Galactic Fempire for a while after meeting the creator. It was not a monolith of opinion, and there was a lot of age diversity that lead to hostility and gatekeeping between old school OT fans and those who dared like the ST
I love and respect the creator of the space who sought to create a haven away from toxicity, but in this space I felt exhausted instantly having to deal with people getting snarky because I dared like the ST and a certain character dynamic.
I have managed to carve a space for myself here involving copious blocking and curation. I have my opinions and biases and people who mind them and call me out. But I don& #39;t need randos charging into my space and telling me I& #39;m doing it wrong and judging me
I& #39;m not on PRIVATE but I& #39;m also quite forward about what I like. I& #39;m tired of being told I& #39;m whatever for liking what I like.
Just run a block chain on podcasts if you don& #39;t like what they say and leave us the hell alone.
Curate your space instead of coming into mine and insisting that we& #39;re attacking you or bothering you.
Just block us all. Really. Your martyr complex will go away and we& #39;ll all be happier for it.
There are plenty of spaces for all people in SW fandom. For women who aren& #39;t Reylos, there are spaces. But don& #39;t get offended that we have one and we& #39;re making it ours and talking about our experiences amongst ourselves.
I can only live rent-free in so many brains
