FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

Figured we should complain about something other than tumblr for once.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[sarillia]

Assuming anything slightly controversial is a troll.

Deciding that because they think it's a troll then no one else should talk about the topic even if they're interested because somewhere someone might feel like they "won".

Thank you.

It can also be dangerous to assume someone who posts something "weird" is a troll. I once assumed someone was and said something very mean, except it turned out the person was serious. Seriously, some people just say things that are a bit off-putting, or their wording is awkward (which was essentially what happened here).

- Houseguests who think they are staying at a Five Star resort, and you're the maid, concierge, and waiter all in one. And they probably don't even realize that's basically the idea they have.

- Coworkers who won't do anything extra to help, even if it takes literally thirty seconds.

There's a smell, like somebody farted. FESS UP STINKY

Summer anons. It's beautiful out, kids, go outside and stop telling people to kill themselves.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[morieris]

Dismissing tumblr as a whole. So many people here are so quick to say "Well, not all of us on FS are _____" while saying "Tumblr is a cesspool."

Obviously exaggerations matter, but it seems like no one wants to admit that there are places in tumblr with good ideas and viewpoints about various -isms.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

Those vague secrets with long rants and only a colour/a really random picture in the background and the text "picture somehow related". It's a secret. You are anon. Just tell us the fandom/wank you're talking about or stop with those ~vague and mysterious~ hints.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[intrigueing]

People in the GC who describe an issue or event or situation in a specific one of their fandoms (not a general/multifandom issue) but refuse to specify the fandom or characters even when the fandom is big enough that they won't get outed.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

That boring anon who keeps tipping his fedora at Dethtoll. It has never been funny and now you are past annoying and just plain boring now.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

When I misfire a comment. X_X;;

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[feotakahari]

Anons who're afraid we can guess what their username is. I have never seen anyone on FS correctly guess who an anon was. Hell, I once accidentally posted the beginning of my username in the secret, and folks still didn't know who it was.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

Deliberately misunderstanding a secret-maker's point in order to go off on a tangent about something the commenter wants to talk about.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

Those people who keep shoehorning pointless little potshots at Supernatural into comments that have absolutely nothing to do with Supernatural and do not actually need to make any little potshots to convey their point more clear.

I have never even seen an episode of Supernatural in my life but it STILL bugs me. There is really no point to it except advertising the fact that you hate Supernatural.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

People who lump all anons together as one scary trolling hivemind.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

People making all their secrets in the same style and posting them so they show up close enough to each other to be able to recognize it.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

People who write long tl;dr secrets that overexplain a very simple core issue.

If your secret is simple but you really want to clarify to avoid wank or misunderstandings, put the clarification in a smaller font paragraph down at the bottom or something so people who don't totally understand your main secret can read it for clarification, but it won't make scrollers' eyes glaze over and ignore you.

In which I get a little harsh

[jaybie_jarrett]

-People who dismiss things that are broad and not bad in and of themselves ,because it's easier to say "[X} is bad writing" than actually considering that it, like anything else ,depends on the skill of the writer.

-People who are whiny about something in fanfic they don't like or throw a big ass toddler tantrum because "I wasted time on this fic" when the fic CLEARLY warned for what they didn't like and flame the author

Honestly I have little pity for people whining because they spent some time on a fanfic they turned out to not like. When I was younger I often had my internet time limited so when I was picking up fanfic I had like five minutes to decide what to pick and whether a fic was worth saving. Often I made a mistake and got a disappointment. Did I go and yell at the author because I didn't like the fic? No, I just found something else.

-People with a "I don't like it so keep it in your head" attitude. Can you be anymore of an overgrown brat? Boohoo someone produced something you don't like. Get the fuck over it. Seriously this is as stupid as telling someone to not write their sci-fi story because "I don't like sci-fi". Also from a writing point of view 'Keep it in your head' is horrible writing advice. I never learned a damn thing from keeping things in my head, I learned from writing things and making mistakes and realizing them. I wrote bad fics, yes, and I learned from them. I can't stand someone who silences someone who could be great one day,or embarrass them into not writing all because they don't like it.

>It's one thing to warn a kid to not put stuff online because they might get replies they don't like. That advice is actually born out of genuine concern for the kid, and you're not telling them not to write it, just not to put it in a place where they'll get reactions they're not prepared for. "Keep it in your head" is completely selfish. It's just "don't write this thing because I don't want to see it' or in some cases "I don't want to see it and I will assume nobody else does either." If someone is at least 17 and is aware that the internet is a nasty place, you don't really have any business being all "well someone COULD flame you , so don't put it up". Fuck concern trolling just be honest and admit you don't like it and don't want to see it.

>> Also telling someone to write something better or not use a thing like Character bashing, or make a change is, again IMO not the same as just telling them not to write the thing. It's saying "write it better."

>>> the only exception to this is if the person can't take any criticism (which is actual crit not "this sucks" or "you're writing is shit") and they yell at you for suggesting ways to improve. Or someone who throws a fit when you point out that they made a mistake or something they wrote was not accurate.

"I don't like it, so it's bad and it sucks"

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[kallanda_lee]

We do these often, don't we?

But here: have another one. People who comment on your facial expressions, most notably resting bitch face or the fact that you don't look happy (when, really you aren't happy, but how dare you not be happy)!

Having a disagreement as an anon...

[(Anonymous)]

...and being told, "If you weren't such a coward you'd go un-anon and say that to my face." Um, I am saying it to your face. That's why I'm still commenting and haven't walked away from this conversation yet. This is the Internet, and I really don't see what commenting under a username would add to a dialogue, not when I'm arguing seriously and not even resorting to troll tactics.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[nyxelestia]

My new job's shift assignment system. Most of its business is in the summer, so it's understandable that some rules would change during this time period.

But what the hell was the point of us filling out an availability sheet telling you when we can work if you're just going to ignore that and assign us when you need us, anyway? While we're allowed to trade shifts within our departments pretty easily, it still rankles that we basically have to be available full time, but due to the park's system, we never actually get full-time hours, only part-time.

>.<

The anons that can't shut up about how much they hate a certain pairing - okay, I'm talking about two pairings in particular. Dean/Castiel and Sterek (don't know the characters' actual names lol). I don't want either show, but a few anons have such a hate boner for these two pairings that it feels like every day it's mentioned what terrible pairings they are, even in completely unrelated topics. I get not liking a pairing, but seriously, how much energy can you put into hating something other people obviously enjoy?

For that matter, massive hate for any series, too. Like, if it's a conversation on whether or not Series X is good, by all means. But if one secret is about something in Series X, unrelated to quality at all, and people burst in the comments talking about how much they hate it? Get over it, yeesh.

Re: FS Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

The spoiler-happy anons that keep showing up on Attack on Titan secrets. Other secrets get those too, but they don't seem nearly as bad. You people are the scum of the internet, for serious. (Not serious, but it is annoying.)

Re: FS Pet Peeves

People posting fucking gigantic images in the comment threads. It makes my screen stretch and the text shrink. No bueno. There's image limits for a reason!
