A conversation amongst #Kpop fans included this mention of the variety of fans and the importance of inclusivity and mutual respect in the fandom here on Mastodon - qualities sorely lacking in some other Kpop spaces.
Anyway, that part of the conversation reminded me of the history of inclusivity and mutual respect, which in turn set me thinking about religious "toleration" in early modern European history, which in turn reminded me of the Edict of Torda in the Transylvania of 1568:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Torda
I was going to finish there with a pronouncement of "There's a lot more to Transylvania than Dracula!" which is true, but, on reflection, a bad note on which to end because it sounds smug and condescending.
Yes, early modern history is fascinating, anybody who can visit Transylvania should do so, and "toleration" deserves much attention from both a historical and philosophical point of view - but shouldn't I be more alive to today's interest in vampirism and to goth subcultures ? Shouldn't I remember that, in the words of @pixelcats, "all ways of stanning are valid" and that includes the stanning of Transylvania too?
From Kpop to C16 Torda and back again!

@Erzbet @girlbandgeek@mastodon.social @abuelaskpop @planetnine@mastodon.social I agree so much, .. but I would also hate to see the gatekeepery, condescending vibe that goes on in many fandom spaces leak over into this space. History is important. Culture and etiquette are also important. But, our ways of being evolve and grow, too. We have a range of eras of fans here, and all ways of stanning are valid.
Lupposofi@blenderdumbass Rainer Forst's SEP-entry on Toleration is always a good source for anybody seeking conceptual clarity, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/toleration/. Quite often, 'respect' might also do part of the job, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/respect/, if not something as bland as 'stomach'.

@jonne Ja jos jotakuta kiinnostaa suvaitsevuuden käsite, niin Rainer Forstin SEP-entry on edelleen sekä käypä että erityisen laadukas, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/toleration/.
@lucianofloridi Sounds interesting. Thank you. I'll add the article to my short list and frame my reading conceptually with SEP-entries on #Toleration https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/toleration/ and #Paternalism https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/paternalism/.
Jossain vieraskielisessä ketjussa oli puhetta suvaitsemisesta. En saanut kiinni spesifistä kontekstista, mutta jos käsite kiinnostaa, niin Rainer Forstin #Toleration oli SEP-entrynäkin poikkeuksellisen valaiseva, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/toleration/.
Olen ollut eläessäni paljon "nyrkit pystyssä" niin fyysisesti kuin intellektuaalisestikin. Sille on aikansa. En kuitenkaan tahtoisi lasteni elävän maailmassa, jossa se on selviytymisen maksiimi. Sinne eivät kaikki mahdu.
