F!S Anon Meme (the Tenth?)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it!

List of General Threads (for easy access!)
a. Vid Rec thread
b. Positivity thread
c. What do you think of other F!S members?
d. Best Comments thread
e. Canceled Shows thread
f. Confessions thread
g. TMI thread
h. Which fictional character would you be...
i. "Is this offensive?"
j. In the good ol' days of fandom...
k. Popular fanfic you don't like
l. Really weird things you read in fanfics

I haven't seen them in a while, and they tend to post hours before Case typically puts up the new day's secret, but with rare occasion, I find that I am always disagreeing with rbhudson on a lot of what they say on secrets, nothing in particular comes to mind, just that I tend to think, "I really don't agree with what you just said." Also, I always think that their image is Marty McFly from the first Back to the Future movie.

Also wanted to get this off my chest, and it's about someone who hasn't posted in a year or so. To start, I'm the anon who, a month or two ago, made the GC thread about how you think F!S has changed in attitude opinion over the years, and there is a backstory to that. It started with a thread a day or two prior about anon's/users who you wondered what happened to. Diet_Poison said a name of a user and everyone said they didn't really come back after being called a SJW by a lot of people. So I decided to check on that, and the era of F!S I found that post/this person from seemed to be really much more sensitive to a fault (in my opinion) about everything, trying to make sure no one felt bad (sorry if that sounds weird, I had hard time trying to articulate that general feel about then). I made that thread to see if anyone else felt that, for a lack of a better phrase, the users collectively growing a spine/toughening up was for the better. But that user, curseangel, holy shit; while SJW may be thrown around to pointlessness, this is probably one of the closer ones I've seen on F!S (though I feel like calling her an actual one may be a little harsh, sorta). At the very least, she should probably stay off the internet, since the threads where she has disagreements in have her typing out LONG, paragraph spanning posts on why who she is responding to is a terrible person/wrong. In a way it's kind of fascinating to see someone take the internet this seriously, but I'm so glad that she isn't around anymore, because I'd hate to see how often she'd go off on the things we say now on F!S. When I think about it, the line "Hit the road Jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more," from Ray Charles' song, Hit the Road Jack.

Oh god curseangel. I remember her. No disagreements there.

I've only been a regular for two years or so, but it definitely seems less wanky and more level-headed than when I first started out. I think the move to dreamwidth was one of the best decisions case has made and it's weeded out some of the more undesirable people.

AYRT

Yes, this is what I was trying to go for, thank you. I just didn't want to stare at the screen trying to think of what exactly it was for hours, so I just went with what I said.

I used to think that, but I think I've also just gotten familiar with it. There's wank here all the time that's vicious enough it would have totally freaked me out a few years ago.

I think the wank is still overall less vicious than it was. But then, maybe I've become desensitized too...who knows?

Man, I remember one of curseangel's last wank threads and it was glorious. I forget who she was arguing with, but I think it had something to do with black face? Or, just being an SJW is general. It was pretty epic.

I wanted to like Curseangel. She was nasty to me on a couple occasions but she had good intentions; she was just WAY overboard. I honestly don't think she was trying to be a jerk for the sake of being a jerk like some SJWs are.

I hope she's become more level-headed, wherever she is.

I don't like ill_omened after his strident defense of pedophilia a while back. He's normally been fine, but I've never been able to look at him the same way after that.

Oops, misfire! This belongs in the wider thread. Oh well.

There's nothing morally wrong with pedophilia because it's a mental disease no one can help having. ACTING on pedophilia or letting it go untreated, like letting any dangerous mental illness go untreated, is what's wrong.
