I really hope the fandom lethargy will pass. I think we just have to all make a concerted effort to ignore the people who do their best to make fandom a shittier place, and do our best to emphasize tolerance and kindness and openness to everyone instead of elitism and bitchiness. That feels like all it's been lately. I am really, really hoping it's just a phase and not a sort of shift in fandom attitudes brought on by what feels like this 'mockery is hip' trend that's set in.
