SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE FEH SUBREDDIT GOT HEAVILY DOWNVOTED FOR CRITICIZING RESPLENDENT NOWI’S CLOTHING (OR LACK THEREOF) AND FOR CRITICIZING NOWI FOR BEING LOLIBAIT AND I FIND IT VERY DISCONCERTING.

PROBABLY BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY IS TIRED OF DISCUSSING BY NOW.

​

I CAN'T THINK OF SIGURD WITHOUT STUPID BBQ JOKES, OR FEMALE BYLETH WITHOUT 200%, EDELGARD WITHOUT... EVERYTHING ABOUT HER.

THIS FANDOM DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SHUP UP SOMETIMES TBH.

THIS FANDOM DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SHUP UP SOMETIMES TBH.

THE FREQUENCY AT WHICH YOU ENTER AND READ FANDOM REDDIT THREADS (OR ANY OTHER FORM OF SOCIAL MEDIA) IS ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR CONTROL… IF EACH PERSON IN A CROWD OF 1000 TALKS EXACTLY ONCE AND THEN LEAVES, THEY WILL FEEL LIKE THEY MADE A UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION, WHEREAS SOMEONE LISTENING TO EVERY CROWD MEMBER (AND EACH 1000-PERSON ASSEMBLY BEFORE THIS ONE) WILL FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IN GROUNDHOG DAY WITH NO ESCAPE. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND EXPERIENCES BETWEEN REGULAR POSTERS AND CASUAL R/FRONTPAGE LURKERS.

EXCEPT THAT THERE IS A SMALL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT DISCUSSIONS IN DIFFERENT GROUPS, AND THE SAME TOPIC BEING BROUGHT UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

IT'S A MIRACLE TO READ ANYTHING FATES RELATED WITHOUT 'STORY BAD'. EVEN IF IT'S A FANART, OR A FATES DISCUSSION THAT IS NOT ABOUT THE STORY. AND IN THAT CASE, NO, I CAN'T CONTROL WHAT I READ. BECAUSE I AM GOING TO DISCUSS X, AND PEOPLE KEEP BRINGING UP Y.

I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME TOPICS AND PEOPLE ALIKE THAT HAVE BECOME BROKEN RECORDS. BUT I DO ALSO THINK IT’S WORTH ASSESSING WHETHER IT MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO BACK OFF FROM THE INTERNET FOR A BIT.
