youre allowed to dislike stan culture and mute them like tommy does, but how about you dont insult the fanbase that is keeping you afloat.

you think the majority of what helps creators is casual fans? its not.
its stans that buy all your merch. its stans that rt and like and comment on every one of your tweets. its stans that have notifications on for you on every platform. its stans that give you donations.

its stans that spend hours on fanart. its stans that try getting people to support you with them.

so next time you wanna start talking about the origin of the word (which we all fucking know already), think about where 80% of your support comes from.

personally, i find it "baffling" that tommy handles stan culture in the most mature way despite being the youngest. TAKE NOTES. mute and MOVE ON.
