posted something on r/battlestations, and my post got removed bc it wasnt a full battle station? idk, am i being dumb or does this seem like its gatekeeping slightly
I just saw this on YouTube. This isn’t really a contest you want to win…
Honestly, I feel like the Queen fandom is such an unwelcoming place especially if you’re younger or if you got into Queen after Freddie died. The ageism from older Queen fans is outrageous. They always love to bash younger people for getting into the band like Queen was an underground garage band. No, Queen was a chart topping world renowned band. This picture right here is a prime example of it. Sorry this is an old screenshot I found while cleaning my camera roll but, this guy in a Queen chatroom who is supposedly the global moderator says “This person wasn’t even old enough when they were around” and bashes them all because it was a fan account who posted a rare picture of the drummer from an magazine and they had to scan it. Like wtf. How are you mad that a band that was popular in your prime is still gaining fans today. I don’t engage with the fandom anymore because I find them absolutely repulsive and I’m sure Freddie wouldn’t appreciate the bitter and nasty fans going after the younger generation.
