Honestly I'm completely with you. I don't really understand persona cultivation, and I certainly don't think it sounds like anything I'd want to do in pretty much any way.

I also hate how much of fandom seems to love like, viciously hating on parts of their fandom or canon that aren't cool, just because that sort of irony-poisoned refusal to enjoy things is cool or whatever. I can enjoy a joke or two about like, I don't know, how awful the current most hated star wars thing is, but it just gets so exhausting when any interest in anything that hasn't been popularly deemed "good" is fair game to be a punching bag at all times and any interaction with it that isn't in that sort of "eww lol cringe haha" mode constantly either gets papered over with disclaimers about how the poster *knows* it's gross and bad but still enjoys it for "some reason" or whatever. Like, I just like things. I do not care if they're cringe or whatever and I'm kind of tired of seeing people self-flagellate for the sake of not upsetting popular fandom's attitude towards whatever it is.
