I call myself a fandom old. Not because I've been into something specific for a particular amount of time. But I've been involved in various online fandoms since the late 90s.
I don't *think* I act like I'm entitled to speak over others, but maybe I do sometimes?? In which case, anyone who calls me out on it would be doing me a great service. 🫥
'Fandom elder' shouldn't be a self-bestowed title. It's something you could call someone else as a sign of respect, but it's a bit wanky.
