Not really new, no. It's just the turnaround for this one was so unbelievably fast. Like, I've seen all this stuff happen before in other fandoms. But this shit went through the cycle of 'this could be canon' to 'this is canon' to 'if you don't think this is canon then you're [insert gross insults here] because there's ~proof~' in a matter of days. Days. And I'm in Europe, so I got it a day earlier. I don't think it took the predominantly US Tumblr users in the tags a full 24 hours to speed through those stages of wank. It's not even just one or two people, but a constant repetitive stream of the same posts over and over. It didn't even take a full week before I felt like I'd been seeing those posts for months on end. So yeah, I'd still say the fandom has no chill - it's been a very fast and very intense love affair, and the wank and anger and ship wars went from 0 to 60 overnight.

I still love the fandom, though.
