It's just that every now and again it HITS me how much of the internet's creative output is just sonic fandom
It's like a lolcatz thing, where the sheer staggering amount of material just careens so beyond absurd that you have no option but to block it out and hope it's just a phase or something
B-but it's clearly not! It just grows! Forever! This is what so much of our energy goes towards apparently! This and mega man and tranformers and any given vaguely late-80's property that folks are just old enough to assume as some kind of terribly limiting adult identity! What the fuck happened here?!
I guess it's just the simple fact that there is an apparently thriving community of people basically everywhere ready to support and comfort this obsession indefinitely and without remorse. It's like... if this many people convened in clubs in towns rather than on message boards we would immediately think this was some kind of cult or something.
People can do what makes them happy, don't get me wrong, but so, so much effort is sunk in to something that will never begin to matter! It's downright tragic, I tells ya.
