In general I avoid fandoms for the most part anymore because of how toxic they became.

Occasionally I'll dip my toes in a fandom but it usually like the community meme of walking in the door and everything is on fire.

The Owl House fandom is still pretty great though. But that's a pretty openly queer fandom, so it's the exception. Man I loved it's representation of our community.

yeah I'm not really into fandom anymore because of that either. I just find it simpler to quietly enjoy a piece of media nowadays
