My quick two cents before I go back to work. Politics do matter in fandoms. I saw what happened to the MLP fandom years ago with their love and friendship no politics things. It ended up becoming an alt-right playground.

tapping the sign 👉👉 paradox of tolerence

Yep, The Nazi bar problem

The very opposite of love and friendship. Ponies wearing armbands and self-segregating was the last I saw of that fandom.

This so much. I don’t love hearing about the atrocities of the world in my fandom safe space—but left unchecked it gets bad alarmingly fast. Somehow My Little Pony nearly turned me alt-right as a teenager because “love and tolerance” turned into “don’t question my toxic ideologies”

Especially in fandoms so centered around their art community. Tell a bunch of artists not to make it political? Sounds dumb, to me.

the reactionary apocalypse shoved politics into everything, so now people need to make sure the politics in spaces have to meet a certain level of basic human decency
