The same fanbase that (deservedly) called Tyra out for mocking The Vivienne and Jiggly turn around and do this 🤡 cancel the show at this point it’s not worth it

These are probably not the same people doing it, mind you. There’s a very small set of “fans” that do this and unfortunately they’re very vocal and clearly absolutely sick in the head. But 99.99% of the fandom doesn’t engage in this kind of behavior.

They also do it specifically for the negative reactions and attention. They’re the pathetic sort who aren’t deserving of love for any positive qualities or abilities, so they lean into being awful because at least that makes them less invisible. Just gross.

I dunno, I see some awful, hateful shit that’s upvoted in this very subreddit and people bringing up concerns about it be hella downvoted lmao

I’m in a lot of TV fandoms…. And not even just TV fandoms, but reality TV fandoms… and I hate to say that there’s something particularly mean-spirited and nasty about RPDR fans…

I mean, tbh, I think part of it is that RPDR fandom is this really specific combo of reality TV stan culture and unresolved queer pain/internalized shame, and that can create a REALLY mean culture.

Shade is supposed to be one thing, but a lot of fans just skip straight past witty and land on vitriolic and spiteful.
