Episode Synopsis
C/W This episode contains mentions of self-harm from 41:15 to 42:09 Panic!In The Fandom. The glory days of web 1.0 have ended and the nazis and puritans have arrived in full force. Lady V and Katie continue to explore the brief history of fandom from the founding of YouTube in 2005 up until 2013. We answer the question: where DID current political discourse in fandom begin? We're talking the rise of UGC, 4chan's misogynistic obsession with Justin Bieber, the 2nd FanFiction.net purge, the LiveJournal strikethrough, and, yes, we once again have to talk about Richard Spencer.
