Day 14: What fandom broke your heart?

Hm. None that I can think of? I came to Supernatural late and I was super cautious and I stayed on the fringes of that fandom because I knew it could be batshit crazy. So while it potentially had the ability to do so, I carefully protected myself so it would not.

I guess… the whole incident with Xiao Zhan and 227 was pretty fucking heartbreaking. But he's mostly bounced back and both The Untamed/CQL/MDZS and BJYX fandoms seem to be doing okay, as well as Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo's individual careers, so??? It was painful, it was heartbreaking, but we're getting better? I think we've mostly healed, actually.

I don't know that fandom ever has broken my heart. I've been disappointed with canon and canon creators (and obviously, not every fan/fanwork is a favorite) but in general both fandom and I are pretty resilient.
