Fandom Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

For stuff you're too lazy to make a real secret about.

Re: Fandom Confessions

[morieris]

I had no idea people so vehemently hated Book 2 of Legend of Korra. I understand having problems with it, and I didn't like everything, but I'm surprised people thought it was SO godawful (besides Beginnings 1 & 2 we all seem to like those)

Re: Fandom Confessions

I think the gaming fandom as a whole has gotten worse in the past fifteen years.

Re: Fandom Confessions

[dreemyweird]

Normally I'm not one for crying problematic themes, but at times I feel so so guilty for friend-shipping these two characters from one of my fandoms. I used to think that handling the RPF undertones in Murder Rooms would be the worst part of my fannish life, and boy, was I wrong.

I'm invested in their relationship, am writing fanfiction, and can't stop thinking that I'm condoning abuse glorification *cringes*

If you hate yearly releases of video games like Call of Duty, but ignore the constant rehashes from nintendo, I judge you.

Re: Fandom Confessions

I don't give a shit about everyone's negative opinions of Sailor Moon Crystal. I'm enjoying myself.

Re: Fandom Confessions

It pisses me off that a loud minority of Spuhura fans defend basically everything in the Star Trek reboots and the writers because Spock and Uhura being a couple is apparently so very progressive that it cancels out all the other shit in the new films.

LOL no. I can't take that opinion seriously. Liking the pairing is fine. But stop pretending that other fans don't have legitimate reasons to be pissed off.

Kind of inspired by #9, but I liked all of JK Rowling's ships - not always how she wrote them, Remus/Tonks in particular was awful in the last book (though I actually liked their twist in HBP and felt they were hinted at in OoTP), but generally I could see where they came from at worst, loved them at best.

Actually, in general I'm usually fine with canon pairings, pre-established or otherwise. Even if I didn't ship it before it became canon, I generally get on board pretty quickly.

Re: Fandom Confessions

I feel like everyone complaining that fandom got so much worse is just like the baby boomers complaining that the whole world got worse and everything was better in their time. So many disasters and murders and evil people omg the end is nigh.

It's the same as ever, imo. The age of internet simply made the bad parts more prominent and easy to see and stripped away the possibility of rose tinted glasses by having records of everything available.

Re: Fandom Confessions

I did not understand the concept of "you ship only het ships, therefore you are a homophobe" until very recently. I have recently come into contact with someone who ships only het pairings, in Transformers of all things. This limits them to, I think, three pairings, all of which are highly unusual. I have to admit, I'm kind of suspicious that there's some degree of homophobia going on.

S!B: The entire concept is incredibly sensitive. And they do seem like a nice person.

B!S: I still read their stuff, because I share a pairing with them and they're one of two people producing anything for it (and by far the more prolific of the two).

Re: Fandom Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like racebent fanart of Harry or Hermione because Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are who I picture in my head when I picture those two characters, and the racebent versions don't look like Daniel and Emma, and thus look wrong to me.

Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons

[(Anonymous)]

1) I can't see it at all. Dragons, demon bears, solar magic, and freezing magic if you want to add Frozen, OK, I can fit it in a commn universe. Guardians however? I have trouble with this concept and I find it alien to the rest.

2) Nonetheless, I side-eye hard people who'll cheerfully admit to having only seen two or three of the movies and yet are oh so taken with the crossover. How do you know it works if you only know half of it?

Re: Fandom Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I love genderbends, but I don't get the point of racebends.

Re: Fandom Confessions

[comradesmiler]

I'm not in the Discworld fandom yet, but I'm already fancasting Philip Glenister as Sam Vimes.
Rollercoasters are art in my opinion.

I'm just going to take this opportunity to talk about SG-1

[fingalsanteater]

I think I like the side characters better than the main characters in Stargate SG-1. Can Jacob/Selmek just be a perm character because I love them even though they are both kind of assholes. Oh, and Maybourne. Ugh. He's so awful I love him.

Also, the show keeps killing people I like. :( Martouf, Rothman... I'm sure it'll kill other side characters I like soon.

Re: Fandom Confessions

[intrigueing]

I liked the Harry Potter epilogue.

Not exactly the *way* it was written...it was so eye-rollingly cutesy and the writing twisted itself into a pretzel so it could get jammed full of references and the names are just...ew. And all that shit. But the general idea of all these people back at the start, at Platform 9 and 3/4, just grown up, having gotten over the events of the series, with all that stuff behind them, maturing, having families, having kids, and having generally happy lives? Sorry, can't find anything to complain about there. If improbably happy endings are corny, I guess I'm just a corny person.

Other hated or unpopular or just rarely-liked fandom things I totally love include: Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Jack/Teal'c. Ewoks. The Sixth Doctor. Vice President John Hoynes from The West Wing. Wesley Crusher and Deanna Troi from Star Trek TNG. The Aliens of London/World War Three two-parter in Doctor Who (and Boom Town too). Dark Willow. And the episode "Starsky vs Hutch."

Re: Fandom Confessions

[ketita]

I really disliked Guardians of the Galaxy, and appear to be the only one I know who feels this way.

It's like I was watching a totally different movie from everybody, and I just don't get it. And I guess it's vaguely a secret because nobody wants to hear me explain why I didn't like it, because they did and it harshes their squee. So I don't go on about it.

Re: Fandom Confessions

[insanenoodlyguy]

I was all for the semi-troll support of the fine young capitalists indiegogo project and the butthurt it made, not to mention the creation of /v/'s daughter, but honestly? I really wanted to play afterlife empire so i'm mostly miffed about that.

Not sure if that really counts as fandom, so also, I want the new TMNT to fail because crap that bad deserves to be punished

Re: Fandom Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know how to do fandom. How to start discussion, how to find fandom friends, etc... I have tried before, but I'm too arkward and too afraid to post what I think, and eventually just give up. I can't even post on FS, though I come here daily and have an account (mostly because of timezone), and sometimes when I try to enter a discussion I'm scared that I'm contributing nothing and is just a hindrance. The fact that my fandoms are small and obscure doesn't help.
It feels lonely :(

Re: Fandom Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I get that people dress up as their favorite character or make something related to their favorite show or movie, but I don't understand how some people can get so really into it that I wonder if they won't look back in their life and think 'oh god I was an idiot'.

Re: Fandom Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand why anyone thinks Nicki Minaj calling herself a "girl with a vagina" and answering "Right." when the interviewer interrupted her to ask "As opposed to a girl without a vagina?" had anything whatsoever to do with her trying to promote trans visibility. In context it's obvious that she said "with a vagina" to put emphasis on the fact that she's female. And the "Right" was just her quickly throwing the interviewer's mockery back at him so she could keep talking without being derailed.

But if I point this out then obviously I'm transphobic and racist.

Re: Fandom Confessions

Semi-fandom confession: While I realize that raising money is a wonderful thing, and while I have enjoyed seeing all of the celebrity ice bucket challenges, I think it's sort of peer pressure-ing, particularly when you talk about average people getting challenged by family, friends, or coworkers. Like, not everyone actually has a spare $100 or wants to get ice over their heads. And why should someone have to because you say so? Why can't I walk around I saying, "You have to give $100 to breast cancer or jump in a pool. No, I challenged you! You have to!"

Re: Fandom Confessions

I find it so weird how segregated fandom is genderwise.

Re: Fandom Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

The main reason I can't go to a catholic mass is that I know I would giggle like the stupid slash fangirl I still am sometimes when comes the responsory to Eucharist:
Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and I my dearly beloved slave shall be healed!
...my ship is canon!! so totally canon!!

I wish people would stop doing this...

[(Anonymous)]

...and make secrets instead.

I get so lost in this huge thread where I can't tell what subthreads go where.
