I can't log in right now because the school's blocking the CSS stylesheet, but whatever. Austinuity

I would honestly ratre this about a 3 or a 4. I know we like to complain in between each other SO MUCH, but we all quite honestly agree on the basic things, we just have a hard time communicating it. Trust me, that is a LOT better than the norm for a fandom. We also complain about the stereotypes, but most of them quite honestly aren't that prevalent or bad.

Also, looking at the good in this fandom, there is a LOT of it. We're all very interconnected, we commonly band together to do good things, and we bounce back from hurdles blocking us rather quickly.

A lot of this stuff that's being thrown around seems to date back more to the beginning of the fandom, where mostly everyone in it was a weaboo, and the ones that survived have spread what USED to be, and we've all kind of grown accustomed to that being the norm to claim.

Sure, we have a lot of troubles and hurdles, but what fandom doesn't?

4.5/10, and it's only that high because I realized while typing this that people like me exist in the fandom.

TL;DR: Y'all great people, and you need to stop beating yourself and others up.
