It would be hypocritical of me to say this is unique to our fandom, after this many years I don't shy from my thoughts about things.

I certainly won't "gatekeep" that nobody else knows this sort of thing and stand on a tall pedestal pretending that its superior... Because its not and its ludicrous to pretend it is as everyone can experience this sort of response with enough time. And to be fair, I honestly miss the "wide eyed girl" I was back when I first logged into the internet and am even jealous that I'm not in that position. Thinking of just the drama over the last 8 years, just working on this wiki you get to see the bitterness that a wiki exists and how a fandom dislike it, mistrusting it yet praising a forum going for their more baseless and often bias interactions. You can't do nothing with any of this.

Mind you, I've always stood by veterans being the worst and will maintain that at times. I joined in the game Warframe recently and got dissed at in one game for being a MR1 among a group of players with much higher ranks. It was my level ranking in the mission and they were much too high for this mission, they floored the entire map while I stood there barely making a difference. I killed 14% at most according to the end mission stats. The highest had 48% and the rest made up the final mark. Take away the guy with 48% and to be honest, I didn't have much of a difference between me and the higher ranked players in that particular mission. That to me was no difference to the veterans of VO forums dissing the noobs. Yeah, sure, I agree on certain things and think noobs who don't do research are asking for trouble, but there are a few lines I drew and always will when it comes to humiliation. Yeah sure, a Vocaloid fan whose basically like Warframes MR1 is not going to do much compared to a veterans MR24 or higher, but give them a break tomorrow that MR1 is going to also be a MR24.

There are always problems and will always be problems. But it can be like a drug because of how boring life can get and seeing a lot of drama going on among fans as well as all the fun times and random acts of madness, makes being in them worth the time.
