As a new fan I feel kinda sad I didn't get into the fandom earlier

I always knew about the fandom and the show back then but never really got into it because I was an edgy teen back then and thought it was cringe to be watching a show for little girls

It makes me wonder what it was like during the peak years of fandom (around 2012-2015). It makes me regret that I didn't get into it sooner because I would've enjoyed it a lot. Now it feels like I'm an archaeologist going through old posts and fan content
