This Group's Mission Statement

It's been eight years since The Loud House first premiered. The fandom surrounding it has suffered a lot, quite frankly.

On DeviantArt, there's a crap ton of beef over the show's many characters. You've probably seen the endless shipping wars, the harassment of people who like characters like Lynn and Ronnie Anne, and all the weird fetishy stuff as well.

On Twitter, you can barely even talk about the show without some edgy teen replying to your post with something like "you suck, this sucks, the show sucks!" They keep going off about how the earlier seasons were SO much better, even though they're usually the same people who were whining about the Loud sisters causing Lincoln just a liiiiiittle too much trouble back in the day. For the alleged "best" seasons of the show, they sure do seem to be the most commonly complained about.

There is far too much drama for a fandom surrounding an innocent, kid-friendly show about a boy, his ten sisters, and all the misadventures they have, whether as a full family or in their own individual stories. And even when these toxic """fans""" - and yes, I put triple quotation marks there because I felt like it - are given what they claimed they wanted so bad, they either ignore it or move the goalposts to keep complaining.

Modern social media has these people wrapped around its little finger. They've fallen victim to the corporate algorithm that Twitter and other sites like it pride themselves in. Their consciousness has been rewired in such a manner that they absolutely NEED to make their voices heard about every little thing they don't like, because they're addicted to the rush of adrenaline they get when other like-minded people like and repost their uneducated takes, disturbing hate-art, and edgy memes. It makes them feel like they have power over the innocent people of the fandom who are just minding their own business and trying to have a good time. It's honestly kind of depressing the more you think about it.

But what if there was a way we could handcraft a better place for fans of this show? What if we had a public meeting ground where we would never have to put up with the shit we have to deal with pretty much daily in cesspools like Twitter and DeviantArt? What if we could just... take a blank page in the history book of this fandom, and write our own story?

Well... that's what this SpaceHey group is meant to accomplish.

SpaceHey feels like the perfect place to slowly but surely build up a very positive space for Loud House fans thanks to the recreation of MySpace's classic groups feature. I was able to lay down a few ground rules for the group to keep antis of the later seasons + characters like Ronnie Anne and Lynn as far away as possible, but it also still feels a bit more open-ended in a sense compared to the typical private Discord server. Not that private Discord servers are bad, of course, but MySpace was all about meeting new people anyway.

The All-New, All-Different Loud Crowd is a SpaceHey group for Loud House fans like me who are sick of all the BS that modern social media forces down our throats, and instead just want a place where we can chill out and be ourselves, just like the old days of the internet. And what better way to try and make that a reality than what's essentially a full-on MySpace revival?

It'll definitely be a while before people start hopping onto SpaceHey and making themselves comfortable here. But I'm prepared for the wait. They say the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, after all...
