@roses4wilson Y'all gotta realize there are HUNDREDS THOUSANDS of medias out there, not everyone will be able to get into a game or show from release. If they like it now they probably would've liked it if they simply knew about it earlier! Even if they didn't, there's literally nothing wrong with being new to something. Don't get me wrong it's definitely cool to like something from the start, but let's not make our fandoms a toxic hellhole when it's the thing keeping the franchise alive, coming from someone who's been on both sides. 💉;;Tags #fandom #fandoms #oldfandom #newfan #oldfan #marblehornets #cryoffear #lawoftalos #fnaf #roblox ♬ original sound – 💜🧠🔱WILSON/ALEX/SIMON
