It's really fascinating. You must be new to the Internet, along with everyone else that slings hot stuff at fandoms for something it's not derived from. Like, did you not know research exists? Is this a new concept? There's loving research for everything. There's a reason why "rule 34" is pretty much a true law within the Internet. Just because it does exist, does not relegate the entire fandom to becoming "trash" because a minority of its people are making research of it. Have you even looked at Pokemon? There's research of the humans AND goddamn Pokemon. Wheres the Pokemon trash (18+) thread?
