not to single them out, either. every fandom is like this. every single one. name something and i will show you a fandom with toxicity in it. the difference is that these days, engaging with it AT ALL means the algorithm throws it in your face fucking constantly.

@AmyZenunim a thing we noticed with Adventure Time is that a significant portion of the fanbase is actively hostile to the idea that it has themes (because those themes are incompatible with the misogynist manifestos the alleged fans are quite loud about) and treats it solely as an exercise in collecting lore factoids and the writing is, uh, aware of this and actively manipulates these people into learning something anyway, which is pretty impressive
