I was taught a long time ago by the person who gave birth to me (RIP) that I was too old to be whining about things, and I guess it makes me mildly irate to hear people whine about anything beyond a certain age.īut that's a problem that philosophy has yet to solve about humanity, if you think about it. I tend to think that, the more sentimental a fandom is about the object of their fanatacism, the whinier they tend to be, or appear to be.

Now, I might sound like I'm being spicy af (and I am), but there is another side to all of this. I cannot think of a single release from SE that has happened since the Internet first went live where I have not read about someone whining about it, and I have yet to meet anyone like me who is merely pleased that they haven't forgotten that I exist, after I got enthralled with FF1 as a kid in the 90s. SE fans love to complain about stuff, it's like they're in a competition with Star Wars and Star Trek fans to be the most whiny fandom that exists.
