Gamer Moms and Fanladies: Mamas who love Games and Fandoms

Being in fandoms as a mother..

Anyone else feel super judged for being into tv shows & movies & game fandoms?

I’m 23 and actively apart of a fandom on tiktok for a manga turned tv show and once mentioned I had kids and now some moots of mine stopped talking to me a lot.. they know my age and are all around the same age as me but Idk I just feel like it’s seen as so crazy for someone who has kids to be apart of fandoms and actively contribute to making edits or ff or have a fan account and stuff?

Maybe it is crazy? Idk i just wanted to ask other mother fanladies / gamers their opinion on this..

I mean im still only 23.. I’m still so young but I feel soooo old now everyone knows I have kids?


I’ve been active In fandom’s / the editing community since I was 14! So it’s just been there all through growing up & having kids but I never considered it from other people pov if it’s weird.

It doesn’t interfere with my parenting, I edit / indulge in fandom stuff when my kids r busy or when they’re napping or in bed. Basically only really ever for their 3h of daytime sleep or once they’re in bed..

I don’t know, would love to hear another perspective!
