Admittedly threatened over fandom tastes mismatch

Got upset earlier this week after reading a post with negative criticism of Exceedraft. I'm more bothered than I should be about it since I thought the original poster could have appreciated and spread the word to their mutuals about the cute, interesting and spicy parts about the show that most other (seemingly cis male) viewers tend to overlook. It was a little crushing to see the diminishing of my hopes over getting to have others share my Blorbo Vision and analyse minute details of an obscure Japanese kids show from the early '90s in the online fandom spaces that I frequent.

I wrote a reply to the post with my counterpoints, but now I think it was better for me to have just lived and let live. And keep creating posts to share and enhance my Blorbo Vision. As I like to tell myself, tokusatsu shows are long, but life is longer and who knows when others would also get into my lesser known favourites among lesser known shows in English speaking fan spaces.

But I guess I'll remain bummed for a while about fandom awareness being low for my current favourite show. Exceedraft has been fully subbed since 2021, yet few tokusatsu fans have watched it in full or even thought about starting it (for many understandable reasons). And anyway, who'd even sit down to create multiple pages of fanworks for a Metal Hero show older than them? Me, Georgava, who bakes my daily diet of 10,000 spiders into a pie, that's who.
