There was an was an incident with Games Workshop and fan animation. Games Workshop has set up their own animation studio and decided to go hard against the fan community that grew around the setting.
The whole incident made me mad, sure. But what it really made me feel was disenfranchised under the regime we live, as it is.
We... are not allowed to LIKE things, unless we do so under a capricious mega corps terms. And whatever release valves our society have are guarded behind financial, logistical, legal barriers, that are just inaccessibly to all but the largest fish with the most to lose. The fact that you like something is and can only be, as far as our culture is concerned, an asset to some corps bottom line. That's it. You're chattel and chattel only.
Sit there
Consume passively
Do not do anything.
Every time I see a thing that I like, this thought just stews in the back of my mind. Fandoms are cattle pens. Liking things is a mistake.
