So the subtitles are great, but they have nothing on the accents and delivery like something out of a 1930s noir detective film

When I was about 4 or 5, my dad worked in software implementation (installing very complicated programs for entire companies, basically). And sometimes when people had a problem with the program, they’d call my dad.

If he wasn’t in the room, I was assigned to answer the house phone and say “Hello, Edward will be here in jutht a moment,” in my high-pitched lisp typically described by family members as “elfin”, and then yell for my dad. Then I’d listen to him walking them through the issue because I found it interesting.

One time my dad went in for a meeting with the CEO of a large company, like, one you’ve heard of, and the CEO said “Oh, by the way, your assistant is amazing! Fixed my problem immediately.“

After some very subtle investigative work - because if the CEO of a billion dollar company is pleased you don’t answer with ‘wtf are you talking about’ - he determined that what happened was the following:

The CEO called my dad at a very odd time of day, because rich people are like that.

The phone was answered by an elfin, lisping voice, which said “Hello, I’m thorry, Edward ithn’t here right now. Can I help you?”

“…okay, do you thee the power button? Can you rethtart the computer? …that means turning it off.”

Five minutes later, the CEO hung up, very pleased that an elf with a speech impediment had fixed his million-dollar software.

You’re the mythical 20 years old with 20 years experience.

I feel like with the new ~fandom drama~ or whatever going around, I should re-introduce my favorite theory of fandom, which I call the 1% Theory.

Basically, the 1% Theory dictates that in every fandom, on average, 1% of the fans will be a pure, unsalvageable tire fire. We’re talking the people who do physical harm over their fandom, who start riots, cannot be talked down. The sort of things public news stories are made of. We’re not talking necessarily bad fans here- we’re talking people who take this thing so seriously they are willing to start a goddamn fist fight over nothing. The worst of the worst.

The reason I bring this up is because the 1% Theory ties into an important visual of fandom knowledge- that bigger fandoms are always perceived as “worse”, and at a certain point, a fandom always gets big enough to “go bad”. Let me explain.

Say you have a small fandom, like 500 people- the 1% Theory says that out of those 500, only 5 of them will be absolute nutjobs. This is incredibly manageable- it’s five people. The fandom and world at large can easily shut them out, block them, ignore their ramblings. The fandom is a “nice place”.

Now say you have a medium sized fandom- say 100,000 people. Suddenly, the 1% Theory ups your level of calamity to a whopping 1000 people. That’s a lot. That’s a lot for anyone to manage. It is, by nature of fandom, impossible to “manage” because no one owns fan spaces. People start to get nervous. There’s still so much good, but oof, 1000 people.

Now say you have a truly massive fandom- I use Homestuck here because I know the figures. At it’s peak, Homestuck had approximately FIVE MILLION active fans around the globe.

By the 1% Theory, that’s 50,000 people. Fifty THOUSAND starting riots, blackmailing creators, contributing to the worst of the worst of things.

There’s a couple of important points to take away here, in my opinion.

1) The 1% will always be the loudest, because people are always looking for new drama to follow.

2) Ultimately, it is 1%. It is only 1%. I can’t promise the other 99% are perfect, loving angels, but the “terrible fandom” is still only 1% complete utter garbage.

3) No fandom should ever be judged by their 1%. Big fandoms always look worse, small fandoms always look better. It’s not a good metric.

So remember, if you’re ever feeling disheartened by your fandom’s activity- it’s just 1%, people. Do your part not to be a part of it.

I was a fan of Steven Universe from episode 1, when there was NOTHING in the tags on tumblr. I watched this happen in real time and it was terrifying.

This was actually one of the key takeaways I got from researching the Msscribe video. One incredibly devoted troll was at the root of nearly half of all drama in the 2000s Harry Potter fandom. Just ONE PERSON can create a whole novel’s worth of insane bullshit if they’re really committed, and there are always going to be people out there who love that stuff so much that they’ll do it

I wish I knew more about this story, but this should be 100% standard procedure in every bar or club.

#to anyone wondering why react this way?#odds are they drugged more than one person#and this way no woman needs to feel singled out as a potential victim#sends the message that people who do that aren’t welcome there and they’re actively ruining the night for others#and gives anyone who might have been drugged a place to go to get help (via @wingedkiare​)

mmm, the odds are likely LOW that they drugged more than one person, BUT

they tell EVERYONE to get a new drink so that nobody is singled out, AND so every woman has an excuse and public support to walk away briefly from a situation that might have been getting uncomfortable and know she’ll have backup, AND so that the person who did it can’t retaliate against their target in a “c’mon don’t you trust me” way

predators don’t usually crop dust with roofies but they do manipulate and take advantage of women’s socialized training to not make a scene, so the bar takes that part out of the equation by “ruining the good time” themselves and making the scene
