Daphne's Thoughts and Insights

 Today I want to talk about a popular opinion people hold -- that if you can't separate the fandom from your special interest, you are "weak minded". 

This is untrue, for many reasons. And just plain wrong.

I've noticed that many people online, especially those on Twitter, like to lie. Not only to themselves, but to everyone else, including young teenagers and kids. And they think putting "Minors DNI" on their twitter page that's full of BS but worded like "If you disagree with me, you are a bigot!" is gonna stop minors from believing what they say.  

But why do they lie? Because they are miserable in their real waking lives, and them feeling powerful online and building an army of defenders (clueless minors or people younger than them who are influenced by them) is the only thing that they've got going for them.

I will probably repeat this in my future posts if I rant about online fandom people again, because it's.. true. From what I've observed, and I also used to be very close with one of those people who are like that, and still are, still feeling proud of their pathetic online presence today.

Anyway, so some of those people like sharing this sentiment. That if you can't stand a specific fandom and you end up losing interest in the thing that the fandom was made for, you are weak minded.

They are lying.
