activism in fandom

Activism in fandom involves fans collectively promoting social, political, or environmental causes through their shared passion for a particular media, such as TV shows, books, or games. Fans use their creativity and influence—like creating awareness campaigns, organizing events, or leveraging social media—to advocate for positive change or raise consciousness about issues they care about. This form of activism leverages the community’s unity and passion to effect real-world impact, amplifying marginalized voices, encouraging inclusivity, and fostering social responsibility within and beyond the fandom.
