So like back when fandom had its own spaces (Tumblr [sorta], AO3, Wattpad, Quotev, etc) we all like self-delegated. Like nobody LIKED proshippers but we were just “okay gross keep that over there” and ppl who liked crossovers had their own little corner & shit like that yk. When covid happened & all the ppl who wouldn’t usually be in fandom spaces suddenly had nothing else to do I feel like the rules changed & suddenly a character HAD to act a certain way but was also wildly mischaracterized
