Snowflake Challenge #3

3. In your own space, talk about a fannish opinion you hold that has changed over time.

oh deaaaar…here we go. I actually don’t have many opinions like this except for one big one: It’s okay to like the popular thing. There have been times in the past, mostly when I was a moody teenager where I openly shunned things that were “ontrend” or in the now/ in the spotlight because I deemed myself far too INDIE and UNDERGROUND to be concerned with Rise of The Brave Tangled Dragons….even though I really wanted to be…

I really look back and shake my head at my more isolatory ways as a teenager, I missed out on a lot fun! These days I’m 100% more lax and just do whatever the hell I want, but I spent a lot of time fretting about not wanting to be into what “everybody else” was into. Fretted much too much about being different. Don’t knock something just because it’s popular grub Cyrano! It’s popular for a reason!! Take a bite of the cake, a lot of people love it!!

Of course this is all still subjective, but I am a lot less *turns my nose up* about things just because they’re popular or acclaimed or “hyped up” hehe….
