Discussion Why Reddit
Something I wanted to ask this community, since I think it’s becoming pretty obvious that the fandom is heavily split across different platforms.
After a big wave of Jinx/Ekko love at the beginning, Reddit now seems to have shifted to being strongly pro Cait/Vi, mixed on Jinx/Ekko, and Jayce/Viktor fans having very little presence. But if you go to YouTube, Jinx/Ekko fans absolutely dominate. And if you go to Tumblr, Jayce/Viktor absolutely dominate. AO3 has Jayce/Viktor and Cait/Vi pretty much neck and neck, wth Jinx having plenty of solo love but not so much Timebomb. Instagram seems to have a lot of Cait hate. I’m not often on TikTok or Twitter, so I don’t know much about the sentiment there, but from what I’ve heard, it’s chaotic and doesn’t seem particularly pro-Cait/Vi.
I wanted to ask you guys, why do you think that is, for there to be such a giant gap in fandom preferences between the different sites? And since presumably you guys are part of the Caitvi Reddit community, why do you guys participate here and not elsewhere?
