When the Hetalia fans clash with the Homestucks, bystanders best take cover. Being part of a fandom community is great, but whether it's antis or zealots, eventually we all run into negative interactions in unhealthy fan spaces. In this episode we talk about our experiences and how to be a good citizen in Fandomland.
