My Life In Fandom: Divorce Your Hobby From Its Business

I have family over today, so I have to be brief. The state of Stupid British Toy Company and its Death Cultist infection is terminal. Commisar Garza explains.

So how to handle this?

CUT THE COMPANY OUT OF THE LOOP!

Don't buy their product. Feel free to hit up Captain Harlock for a hookup. 3D print all the things. Pass around the MP3s, PDFs, the MOBIs, and the ePubs. Scorn their events, scorn their stores, and instead support the better fan channels--Arch, Luetin, etc.--directly.

THE HOBBY IS NOT THE COMPANY!

Take away the money from the hobby. Crash the business with no surivors. The hobby will go on without them, and it will flush out the clout-chasers and Death Cultists.
