do you ever see someone’s comment about a film/tv show you watch or a book you’ve read and wonder if maybe we all truly live in different realities and the internet is the only commonly shared space which doesn’t change across universes, because it isn’t fucking possible to draw such dumbass conclusions about a thing unless we’ve seen/read different versions of it

so like… when people say ‘go outside’ they just mean ‘you need to get off tumblr for a while because your world view is extremely sheltered and warped by internet politics’

saying ‘that’s ableist because some people can’t physically go outside’ is just taking it literally and completely missing the point lol

Look i dont wanna sound like a Fandom Mom or whatever but what do you think women over 25 or so are supposed to do? Do u really think theyre supposed to drop all their interests and just talk about taxes and marriage or whatever? It seems like 25+ year old fanboys do not receive this kind of “ooh cringe” reaction either. There are guys in their 40s with comic book collections and shit and people might think theyre a nerd at worst, not a freak who shouldnt be trusted

The issue most people have with “fandom moms” its how they keept interacting with kids the same way they do with adults, like no one is telling people to drop their interest, they are telling them to share that interest with people their age
