#i just dont make it about myself

Oh, and just a passing thought -

“Adults shouldn’t participate in fandom or enjoy it” is another manifestation of privilegeandclassism.

If it never crossed your mind that some people might not have been ableto do either when they were young(er), because they simply couldn’t affordto spend the time or money, I’ve got news for you - and they’re both depressing and frustrating.

Sometimes you have to wait until you have a job to be able to finally buy the toy you’ve always wanted.
Sometimes you have to wait until you’ve moved toward a more financially secure place in your life to be able to spend time talking about your interests online.

You don’t know people’s lives - why would you immediately default to judging them?
