Not really? I was 20 in 2009. I'm 27 now. Maybe you do think that's ancient, but I sincerely doubt that most people here were 8 or 9 then, because they would give us a majority of 15 and 16 year olds. Look at the age thread if you truly want a more realistic idea of the ages of fans. Seven years is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Organised fandom has been around for over a century. The fixation with fandom being primarily a vehicle for representation and social change had started by 2009 in some circles.
