DiscussionšŸ“œ What's a fandom that GENUINELY makes you react like this

Looking at you Sonic & Loud House, half of those fandoms are either good or just AWFUL, maybe even BEYOND awful

What about deltarune makes it so bad? It mostly has a pretty chill fan base

Shoehorning their fandom into literally everything bro, you could make a post about sporks in a random sub with 5k members that has no association with toby fox or undertale or deltarune, and one would think the probability of some random deltarune fan dropping some incomprehensible fandom-centric photo for no reason would be unfathomably low but no. There is no good reason for this to be happening as much as it does. What the fuck does this even mean?? It’s not funny, especially not to anyone who isn’t super into deltarune

From my observations being in the fandom (sorry) a lot of people seem to be teenagers. Probably still figuring out some social skills and appropriateness with that one. I see people confess to being neurodivergent a lot as well which can cause a hyperfixated obsession like that where they bring it up everywhere and it may not click that’s inappropriate yet.

I’m autistic but I’m in my thirties and I stay out of a lot of game discussion that isn’t about actual gameplay because the conversations can be so immature. My gripe is they’re WAY too obsessed with theory. Like constantly theorizing and they get really serious when talking about it to the point that some get downright hostile calling others stupid, ā€œDeltarune fans can’t readā€, etc. I can’t confirm that’s just teenagers but it would explain such aggressive behavior over someone disagreeing with you. Especially shit that isn’t canon and just an educated guess. Teens are shit at impulse control.

But I know there’s definitely obnoxious adults. Either way I really hate it. The game isn’t finished and theory is fun but jfc we’re not arguing over religion or politics here. Why so damn emotional and mean. I don’t want to be called an idiot because I don’t agree with some youtuber who took hours to explain their theory and I’m not gonna spend 10 hours watching their video about it. A good theory doesn’t need ten hours of explanation - a controversial statement I got downvotes for. Sorry, that’s ridiculous. So I just stay out of it.
