I was gonna make a “"genres of monsters” posts but upon thinking about it I realized that “"genres of monster fans” has actually been more interesting to think about
Anyways genres of monster fans and enthusiasts are off the top of my head
-”My monster dad can beat up your monster dad”
– The folklore historian
– Wants to be a zoologist but for fake animals
– Caring about monsters being treated well more then the actual humans
– Believes in all cryptids and just wants monsters to be real more then anything else
– In it for the sex appeal
– Monsters as abstract metaphors for the human suffering in film and literature
– Just really likes Halloween
A category I foolishly overlooked
let’s be real the overlap between monster fans & lgbtqa+ folks is HUGE
