For anyone who thinks that fandom wank and vicious ship wars ruining fan communities is a new thing invented by Tumblr, I invite you to go read this account of Ms.Scribe from the Harry Potter fandom back in the early 2000s (there’s even a part where she made sockpuppet accounts to hurl racist insults at herself). And then I invite you consider the fact that even then, this sort of shit in fandom was not new.
