1. La crisis de etiqueta por la llegada masiva de nuevos usuarios.
El ingreso de personas ajenas a las normas tradicionales de los fandoms generó tensiones y una pérdida de los códigos de conducta no escritos en las comunidades digitales.
- The pandemic let a lot of folks that wouldnt have interacted with fandom spaces otherwise access to them, as these folks are less familiar with the etiquette or manners that come with fandom it had led to a rise in this veryy puristmorally correct obsession.
- I think also this was a product of the pandemic which pushed a lot of people online who wouldnt have been online looking for fandom spaces but found them but had no idea about etiquette and never bothered to learn.
2. Deterioro de las habilidades sociales y el análisis crítico.
Muchos usuarios perciben que el aislamiento prolongado dañó la capacidad de interactuar de forma saludable y de interpretar correctamente los contenidos mediáticos.
- I think the pandemic and online fandom spaces ruined not only a lot of peoples social skills but also their media analysis skills.
- The pandemic pause and isolation really did a number on social skills and there is an entire generation of 20 somethings now who only started going to cons and engaging in their fandoms socially after the shutdowns.
3. El auge explosivo del streaming y la cultura Vtuber.
La necesidad de conexión durante el encierro consolidó a plataformas como Twitch y popularizó formatos de contenido que transformaron el entretenimiento digital.
- That pandemic is what sparked a lot of interest in twitch, and a lot of channels grew rapidly, because people were stuck at home. It also created friendships and tightly-knit communities.
- The content creation formats initial boom during the heart of the covid pandemic sparked a much greater, much more long-term interest in the medium.
4. El resurgimiento de la cultura de la pureza y la vigilancia moral.
Se reporta un incremento en la fiscalización de los gustos ajenos, con una tendencia a juzgar la moralidad de los individuos basándose en su consumo de ficción.
- Im sorry but i feel like the pandemic made fandoms even fucking worse look at how fandoms are nowadays, bitches keep policing other fans over the littlest things and keep judging ppl over the media they consume.
- Purity culture is coming back in full force, esp post-pandemic when a large majority of new ppl to fandom dont care to learn the etiquette.
5. Transformaciones permanentes y nostalgia por la era pre-pandemia.
Años después del inicio de la crisis, los usuarios reflexionan sobre cómo el ecosistema de internet y las subculturas cambiaron de forma irreversible.
- I fully and truly believe the internet was ruined forever in a way you cant even imagine because of the pandemic, especially stuff like fandom culture, too many people who didnt have their hearts and souls in this shit decided to barge in.
- Fandom has genuinely become so depressing in a lot of ways since the pandemic. The communal aspect that made it so fun has been slowly but surely disappearing.
