I hate how this year is starting for fandom. :(

Heck, not only fandom. This is all so depressingly arbitrary... I can't even! :(

I know. :( *Hugs*

There's nothing arbitrary about it. The anchor points for the net were hung generations ago. Now they're just starting to pull the net tight enough for the average citizen to see.

Doesn't make it any less arbitrary, IMO.

Seems that way, but trust me - it's a planned and targeted type thing. It has to be when that much money is being tossed around to make it happen. But in a way, that makes it easier on us because it means there's a pattern to stop.
