Man 80s fandom must have been so hardcore
I’m just so used to being able to find a show or comic people are talking about online somewhere, with English translation, reasonable video quality, screenshots and sometimes even transcripts, episode synopses and fan wikis with character references and episode lists, like within ten minutes of thinking it would be handy, fanfic and art in color and all of it tagged and relatively easy to find with some hunting
Meanwhile these gals were trading third copy videotapes just to watch an episode, waiting months to go to a con just to get an index of local zines that might have fic they like, I’m getting frustrated and peeved just thinking about it
