Fandom spaces: used to be we all just liked XYZ sport/MCU/SW/SPN/Whatever. Now it’s “oh you’re Jewish? Surely you must hate Israel? No? Get out, murderer!”

I’m fairly certain that attitude would have been met with cries of “be open minded” had it happened to Muslims post 9/11.

As a result there are now “Jewish fans of XYZ” popping up all over social media.

It’s almost like our grandparents were correct when they said the non Jews would turn on us.
