Some of the links were fascinating reading, but I can't point at which ones now. Some I noped out of pretty fast (and they might be the ones I clicked on with that temptation to see the trainwreck that I can't always resist).

I think that my main take is that you got involved with online fandom in a much more active and nuanced way than I did - I just read stuff, and nodded along. And made notes of things to laugh at/whinge about quietly later.
