i feel like omgcp discourse is very similar to sherlock bbc fandom’s issue in the sense that the comic started having very long hiatuses and fandom ended up clinging on to very detailed fanon so when it came back ppl were likepic.twitter.com/QDc5tcxhTD
very yes. also I think there's a fandom phenom where, the more time passes between instalments of a thing, the more people forget the imperfections of it, so when those same imperfections show up in subsequent instalments, they act like it's a defilement and not continuity.
for instance: teen wolf literally never made sense. there are like two full moons in the first episode, the chronology and mythology were always all over the place, but when it was happening in S4 people were like, "THESE ARE BRAND NEW PROBLEMS!!"
lol truly!!! teen wolf fandom was honestly so exhausting for that. and yeah omgcp has flaws but ppl just went looking for so much shit that wasn’t there. i was FLOORED when i learned how many people absolutely hate bitty?? like it baffles me like no other.
my theory on how it happens is, people build up their expectations for Where A Thing Is Headed to the extent that, when the canon goes elsewhere, they get retroactively angry at things they previously liked because they now foreshadow The Bad Timeline
absolutely yes. people want so much for things to turn out how they want. of course it’s fine to want things to fit their fandom but you gotta know when to let go of expectations.
what's wild to me is that ngozi stated repeatedly, over and over, from the very start of the comic, that it was bitty's fairytale story, and yet people were still SHOCKED and ANGRY and OUTRAGED that it follows a fairytale trajectory?? LIKE.
like yeah, people can by all means feel whatever they want about how the comic has developed, but acting like the creator has Personally Betrayed Them by doing exactly what the fuck she said she'd be doing is certainly A Take that exists, for some goddamn reason
