The once and future Xenites

Just a thoughty mcthought…when @okbjgm brings Xena back to the screen (it WILL HAPPEN), aside from us old-timers, new fans will include the Clexa and the Earps and the WayHaughts and the Shoots and what all…because you WILL watch Xena and you WILL love it….so get to know one another.  Check out the Xena fandom, check out all the others and get ready to make more friends.  

And if you haven’t yet, check out the original series, it’s fantastic and might just surprise you.  If nothing else, you’ll get to visit the Mother of Ships (the MotherShip?), the OTP of OTPs – and maybe find something very familiar and wonderful.

‘Fan Entitlement’

Oh, Guardian. No. Not really, no. 

‘Fans’ love and support the things/people they are fans of, they share the positives and call out the problematic (sometimes they call it out REAL HARD – see ‘Clexa’): don’t compare real fans to racist, misogynist, ego-driven bottom feeders who seek to destroy, unsettle, negate and pollute.  There is a vast difference.
