A pretty good piece in the Atlantic about antis in the context of Depp v Heard.

Interesting, disturbing read. Makes sense that the conspiratorial mindset of recent years - qanon, flat earth, anti vaxx - would spread in these ways I guess.

Oh very much so. Horrific to see. The linked tumblr essay in that piece was very good.

The pathologies on display cross over a great deal with what a lot of Americans think about political folks, too

imo, fandom in general trends toward pathology and the stronger it is, the unhealthier it is.
About the only fanatical fandom I think deserves any slack are fans whose lives are so physically constrained that their experience of the world outside of their room(s) is almost entirely mediated, so that apart from meeting their most basic physical needs they live vicariously through identification with their chosen idols. Not coincidentally, the idols of choice among this demographic tend to be athletes.

I recently discovered that there's a zoomer fandom for classic Hollywood, and they even do the "x is cancelled" type discourse around whatever someone in the fandom has dug up on some ancient stars. Today I read the sentence "the stuff that's coming out about Marlene Dietrich is some truly wild shit"; not quite as good as a few days ago tho when I saw someone say "Henry Fonda looks suss fr".
