This Time, I Mean It!

Here's a little music to help get my point across...



I've been thinking LOOOONG and HAAAARD about this one! I've decided that I'm done with "Fandoms". I honestly feel that any further involvement with fandoms will only remind me more and more of how I truly feel about our species. And I only need to look at News Shows for that...

I finally remembered why I got into certain things. I was never interested in fandoms in the first place. I just wanted to enjoy the content that I was interacting with, whether it was a show to watch, a story to read, or a game to play. I didn't care who liked it. I didn't care who disliked it. I then got into fandoms to share thoughts and ideas with them, hoping to make something out of it... And there was promise...but recently, I've come to a different conclusion.

I see now that I've been wasting my time. I'm getting nowhere. I've seen two sides of fandoms. A side that makes and a side that breaks. The Making Side is where the creative minds work together to make something interesting. The Breaking Side is where everyone argues over the most petty of trivial things... But don't get the wrong idea. It's not because of either of them that I'm doing this...but because of BOTH of them!

People wonder why fandoms on the internet are bad or have bad reputations? It's not because of the source material that they all appreciate. It's not because of the creators of said material... It's not because of any gore or sex that's been added to fandom works, It's because every single fandom has one thing in common. THEY'RE ALL MADE OF HUMANS! I don't hate our species. I love everyone unconditionally... Liking us, on the other hand, is difficult. Wanna know why?

It's because we don't know how to pick our battles. It's because we have nothing better to do with our time than to sit around on our rears, yell at our screens at people who we don't agree with or just make stuff that we either don't make money off of or shouldn't since we don't hold any rights! 

Also DON'T get me started on the "Overrated" or "Underrated" arguments! That's nothing but a crock of crap and you guys know it! Seriously, can't we all just learn to agree to disagree? Live and let live? Do we HAVE to make a conflict out of EVERYTHING?! Oh, wait, that's right, we DO because we're HUMANS!

But look, I'm not judging anyone. That was just an observation. After all, I'm still making content. Though, for how much longer, I'm not sure. If you guys wish to continue doing what you do, go right ahead. 

I guess the point that I'm trying to give is that I don't care anymore. I'm going to take a page from my childhood and just stop caring about other people's opinions. I'm done with the arguments, I'm done with the opinions of others triggering said arguments. I'm done with fans that follow content creators like sheep! It's nothing personal, I just feel that I'll appreciate what I love more once I stop thinking about what I hate. 

If you guys don't want to talk to me after this or even look at any of my stuff or anything like that, I don't mind. I don't blame you. If you do, then go right ahead and message me any way you want. I'm still the same guy who loves to write and talk with friends... I'll still make stories, whether they be made from source material or original, that hasn't changed. I'm not done with THAT yet!

I'm just done with Fandoms entirely. And this time, I mean it!

I guess that's why I don't call myself the "Author Brony" anymore. I think "Count-Author" has a better ring to it anyway. I'm just gonna go back to simply enjoying the content that I like, fanmade or not, and just keep my opinions to myself. It's probably the smartest thing I've ever done. One of them, anyway.
