i'm a straight! i follow mostly cis gay men who aren't into fandom at all by happenstance, but i'm aware of online straight fandom trends! like OUAT! never watched it, but i know what captain swan is! and i knew all the tvd ship portmanteaus!
i'm also aware of voltron, skam, snk, yoi (unfortunately), riverdale & most of cw's portfolio. i think i could pick most trending fandom darling characters out of line-up if it came to that.
but i heard about 13RW being A Thing through rl grapevine first! that was a shock. hasn't happened in years.
eta: recanting my statement about being able to pick up current fandom darling characters bc i just remembered TLoZ: BOTW and the fish guy. i still don't know fish guy's name and he's a fave. if i couldn't assimilate that through fandom osmosis, there must be loads of huge fandom shit i'm not aware of.
