Never Good Enough
Posted On November 26, 2018
It might sound stupid, but I feel like crying right now. Nothing about Aisha and Nex is good enough for this fandom. Yet they’ll squee over the most minor details of any other character or couple.
I hate this. It hurts so much. But why should it hurt? Why does it even matter so much to me?
I love Aisha and Nex. Why did I have to fall in love with the most hated couple in the series? I don’t feel ashamed — I just hate seeing them be treated like they’re meaningless or inferior.
I tried not going hard on the fandom, but it really is one of the worst, even riveting the bronies and miraculers (never thought I’d that). Such a great show and such a stupid fandom…it’s unbelievable and yet it’s sadly the truth. The biggest pieces of shits are on Twitter, wattpad and deviantart…maybe on Facebook too, I don’t know enough of that site to be certain.
It would be better if we (you, knight, nerdy, the others coming in here and supporting Nex x Layla and of course me) built a new fandom and exclude all the haters. I’m so done with this current fandom. Nothing is moving forward. Everyone is bitching about the new art style, seasons 4-7, this character, that planet….it’s so annoying.
You know, I wrote some bad things to you back then and I’m sorry. I really am for the mistreatment and the insults. You are not my enemy, they -the fandom- are and I finally realized that you were right all along about them. They are the problem, not you. These close-minded low-level keyboard warriors hide behind their anonymity but when it comes down to it, they’re the first to piss off. I’ve had enough of them. They are ruining Winx with their “the show sucks now” attitude. Why does the Winx community have so many dimwitted school dropouts, while other fandoms flourish with intellectuals. ? Like you said, Nex and Aisha need stories outside the Winx verse. The fandom we are in will never accept him sadly.
so where do you stand on shipping in the pokemon fandom?
I don’t watch Pokémon anymore, but I’ve never been a fan of shipping in general.
well i haven’t watched pokemon since the end of season 19
you aren’t alone i feel the winx fandom seem to be stuck in the past
I’ve said this before, but I’m sorry that you’ve been exposed to so much of the toxic places on the internet. For me, the internet is a distraction from my anxiety, but I understand why it makes it worse for you and others. It does so much bad alongside all of its good.
On YouTube I keep seeing videos that are like “The Evolution of “, and I’m honestly quite tempted to make one about the Winx fandom. It wouldn’t be uncalled for, and there’s a small chance that other fans might watch it and realize how bad some of their behavior is. Plus, it would be a good chance to vent my frustration.
It’s not so much how toxic the fandom is (although I agree that it is). It’s more that I feel lonely. I can’t enjoy what I love with everyone anymore. The Winx fandom/the Internet used to be the place I escaped to. Now I feel just as unhappy here as I do in real life, and as you said, it has made my anxiety worse. I hate feeling like this. ?
It’s easy to say, “Just find the people who love Aisha and Nex,” but those people are hard to find. Plus, the rest of the fandom doesn’t have to look hard. They assume everyone feels the same way they do, and their beliefs are what “true fans” believe. (Aisha X Nabu and Musa X Riven fans are especially like that, from my experience.) But I don’t get that luxury.
More fanart is always appreciated.
I also know what it’s like to feel completely alone in a room of people, so I’m sorry (I know that I’ve said “I’m sorry” about sixty thousand times, but it’s just a thing with me. I apologize for everything, even stuff that isn’t my fault). In slightly happier news, I am wotking on some Aisha x Nex fanart! It probably won’t be done until the weekend because I have to go to school and other stuff, but it is coming.
Don’t worry. It’s not your fault. (And I apologize a lot, too. ?)
Yay! I can’t wait to see your fan art!
Like I said, we need a new Winx fandom. One that appreciates new ideas and concepts. One without dumb internet trolls hating a Winx character because he is not a goody-two shoes babyfafe (but at the same time swoon over a blonde 10 year old from an idiotic show).
I have a feeling this beautiful franchise is dying from the inside. The last few years have been especially toxic. I wish it was 2009 again.
i could honestly see Nex and Aisha going on a us road trip since you pointed out that they like to travel
i have to wonder if Nex was trying to prove himself to Aisha by taking on Icy
