October Surprises, How Hollywood Takes on Toxic Fandoms

  • サマリー

  • Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! It's October, so you know what that means in a Presidential Election year - October Surprises! We reflect on previous October surprises in 2020 and 2016 - oh for simpler times... This week's ballot plug goes to.... THE BIG 7: 7 incumbent Senate Democrats really need to hold onto their seats, especially since Joe Manchin (D?-WV) is noping out of Congress. Split a donation between Ruben Gallego (AZ), Elissa Slotkin (MI), Jon Tester (MT), Jacky Rosen (NV), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey Jr. (PA), Tammy Baldwin (WI) at Swing Left. Are the most prominent voices amongst toxic fandom figures just out for blood? Some in Hollywood think so. Should there be limits on how much production companies are relying on fan input/focus groups? Has fandom toxicity gotten worse over the years due to the internet and social media? We think so. The slippery slope of fans thinking they know better than creators, and burning those creators when they don't match fan visions. Our very own Pam has seen backlash from toxic fans just for reporting the NEWS. This week's recommendations are a mix of altruism and comfort: Donating to support Hurricane Milton relief (Laura), Balatro on mobile (Andrew), and Snag Tights (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts: Come get cozy with us for what may be the most wholesome discussion to ever happen on this show! Ok, be honest - as adults, do we still sleep with stuffed animals? Each of us brings some special cuddly guests to introduce on the show - some have been in our lives since before we can remember!
