I cannot believe I'm arguing on fucking tiktok of all places. But saying that fandom spaces from 15-20 years ago were dominated by teenagers and adults being there was seen as odd is such an absurd take I had to say something.

"erm actually internet fandom started on text based rpg with teens" shut the FUCK UP

and then when you correct them it’s always “well i didn’t know!!” or “im not that old sorry” like then why are you speaking so confidently wrong??

The person arguing this is older than me, this is truly a 'this was my experience therefore it is the only one that matters' situation.
