A corollary to Azalais' Carousel Law
I'd like to suggest a corollary to Azalais' Carousel Law:

Anyone under the age of 22 who says that anyone over the age of 22 who is still interested in yaoi fandom must be a pedophile should be put on the carousel.

Anyone claiming they'll stop liking yaoi or other fannish interests as soon as they reach over 22 because to do otherwise is to be a sad and pathetic person (and/or a pedophile) should retroactively be put on the carousel at 15.

In short, fandom does not only belong to self-righteous 14 year olds.

	Still interested when over the age of 22? Stop being interested once you reach over 22? What about those of us, poor deprived souls, who didn't even start being interested until we were over the age of 22? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I couldn't help it! It's other people's fault for not telling me earlier! I'd've been able to start when I was supposed to instead of being a ~~medical student~~ lonely pedo in my ~~studio apartment~~ parents' basement! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Whine, whine, whine. You'll never gain respect crying about your misfortune. Surely, you must up your quota of consumed yaoi, produced yaoi, and yaoi!wank, in order to make up for lost time. You will simply have to ingratiate yourself into to fandom's cold heart by being more obnoxious about your interests than all before you. bows I believe in you, young padawan.

	Shades of Logan's Run... Is 22 a magical year or something? Dang it, what happened to 30 as the age of over-the-hilldom. (Not that you can't appreciate at Yaoi in middle age...) (Reply to this)

	22? ::flail:: Hoshit, I've only got two weeks left to be allowed to enjoy yaoi! I better go read as much as possible! ::snort:: (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I got this sort of argument all the time in yaoi-related chat rooms or RP/discussion boards and places like Gaia Online. I can't TELL you how many people have said on Gaia that anyone over 19, really, is a PEDOPHILEZOMG if they're still playing on there. :P (Reply to this)(Parent)

	In short, fandom does not only belong to self-righteous 14 year olds. Yes, please, it's well past time we had a law like that. In fact I'd quite like them to understand that the whole world doesn't belong exclusively to them, but maybe that's just being greedy. (Reply to this)
