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

Oh, I'm not the fedora tipper. ALTHOUGH I do think that the persistence (and coupled again his constant need to respond) has brought it back around to being funny again.

It's not so much a need to respond as they'd post whether I respond or not, so I might as well engage with them out of boredom. Of course, they so rarely actually answer me when I ask them what qualifies as fedora-worthy. :D

Thing is, though I do have a problem with a lot of your comments, being a fedora is not something you're guilty of.
You know this, We know this, they know this.
but at this point it's a running joke.
You like wendys?
*Tip fedora*
You don't like professional sports?
*Tip fedora*
You have single hendedly ended the patriarchy?
*Tip fedora*
It's a running joke. Meg Griffin isn't really awful. A Cat can not live on lasagne alone. Pip is not really French. and tumblr is not really populated exclusively by dim-witted teens looking for any reason to resurrect the oppression-fighting spirit of the 60's.
It's something they tried once, got a response, and ran with. It's just a phrase catcher you now have been stuck with, and the more inappropriate to the situation the 'fedora' accusation's are the funnier it will be. That's why they don't reply, because now that it's been established, it doen't need a reply. At this point explaining it would be like explaining the joke. It may run past the point of being funny to anyone, but even then, on the internet, you will still be stuck with it. Like an old nickname. you can't shift.

I don't really see that at all. It's probably some teenager butthurt over the religion thing or something or other and it'll stop when school starts. Nobody who actually leaves their house in the summer is this fucking bored.

Do you really think there was only one *tips fedora* anon? I always assumed there were several.
