Honestly, I am disappointed and disgusted how a new corner of fandom has completely disintegrated everything some of us have worked on for years.
Destiel fandom has been the whopping dog, the scapegoat, been gaslighted and blamed for everything wrong about fandom for years.

So many of us have worked hard to change the misconception that has been fed to cast, crew, writers, and the rest of fandom for years by those working in bad faith. With the rise of this new subset of fandom who do nothing but knee-jerk, scream, and demand,
I've seen all that go to waste. In less than a year.
Sure, there were always those bad eggs we tried to prevent from spreading b.s. but it's been exhuasting.
And with the rise in fanpol puriteen behavior imported from a anime fandoms, there's no way to fight it all.

You report one, there's five more, and they're back within hours with a new account. People have tried to claim they're all bronly socks, and some might have been, but when you look at this same thing happening in almost every other fandom, you can't say that any more.
It's a problem that surpasses our own fandom, and fandoms in general, that speaks of how the upcoming generation interacts with media and in online spaces.
It's toxic, and I hate to see what it's turning social media and other online spaces into garbage.

And there will be consequences of this that may last for years. New rules & regulations that punish everyone for the actions of this new wave.
And I hate it.
But how do we fight it?
All we van do is just band together and denounce the behavior as a whole. idk what to do anymore
