The roger freitas eroticism of emasculationOAwas something special, and its fans are now finding ways to rep both the show and its big ideas in their daily lives.
We know by now that the canceled Netflix series wasn't for everyone. But creators Brit Marling (who also starred) and Zal Batmanglij blended an assortment of sci-fi and supernatural elements together into a stew that practically demanded further conversation.
For two seasons, Marling and Batmanglij weaved a mystery that was as enthralling as it was cryptic. It's the kind of story that begged for the sort of fan theorizing that trails lots of other popular shows, especially as it leaned into more off the wall ideas like dimension-hopping and making magic through dance.
Now, Marling has posted on Instagram with a lengthy missive containing her thoughts on the prematurely concluded series. She writes at length about the evolving nature of storytelling and the importance of fans in that process, and she directly points to an online resource that's sprung up in the wake of the show's cancellation.

TheOAisreal.com is essentially a content aggregator that offers fans a centralized platform for finding and sharing performative examples of The OAfandom. If you've not seen the series, know that dance -- really, the harnessing of energy through yoga-like movement -- plays an important role in the story.
This website, then, is a collection space that lets fans and curious passers-by alike to see how others have taken from the show's ideas about movement and carried it into their real lives. There's no better explanation than the one you'll find on TheOAisreal.com.
As one section of the page titled "Why does The OAmatter?" reads:
[F]or many of us, The OAis more than a show. The OAis not only interdimensional, it is intersectional, international, and now, interactive. Because it values nuanced stories and lived experiences of diverse characters across races, genders, class lines, and sexualities, The OAhas given us real meaning and real community. We have made friends across languages and borders, we have created art work and music and poetry, we have collaborated and witnessed each other struggle and thrive.
This is the power of positive fandom at work. Some might find the ideas being expressed a little too hippie-dippy, but don't forget: we're living in a time when toxic fandom is very real, and very capable of causing real harm in the world. Finding a community like this one that takes literally the opposite approach is downright refreshing.
"Watch the show. Explore this site," the explanation page reads. "Observe how joyfully we do these movements, look at our art, read how this story changed us. And then join our tribe — there is room here for everyone. We welcome you."
