Ep. 57 - Between Pointed Ears - When Fans Attack

Send us a text

Well, over the last couple of months. Fandom has reached a new level of insanity, just this past week. A developer who works on the Marvel Spiderman game, received some pretty egregious threats because he did a little remodeling to the Peter Parker character in the game. Gina Carano, who plays Cara Dune on the Mandalorian was targeted by Twitter users because she wouldn't add her pronouns to her Twitter bio. And season 2 of the boys was rating bombed by angry so called "fans" because the whole season wasn't made available on Prime like it had been in past seasons. 

When did we go from celebrate, to hate? And how and why did it happen so fast? Well the Meanwhile Crew has some thoughts. So join us as we look back at some of fandom's darkest moments, and try to make sense of this age of fancanity.
