I think some of the worst things about fandoms are the fans themselves. For a group of people that, in their formative years, had to deal with bullying and gatekeeping in all sorts of levels, it's funny how quickly they're willing to exhibit the same sorts of behaviors. I like what I like, and I'm not going to be shamed into thinking I'm not "good enough" for what I do on my free time--and I will extend the same courtesy and respect to others.
