"I fail to see the appeal of picturing elaborate fantasies about characters that are someone else's property."

"Fanworks feel pointless."

Those are some pretty big generalizations about fandom.

And it's still kind of funny how you keep saying you know what OP's saying when you're apparently not OP. Because if you're not, then you don't know, any more than anyone else in this thread does.

nayrt but i agree with them. those read very clearly to me as being specifically about the OP's personal attitude towards things, not a general judgment on fandom. OP is just saying they personally don't understand. it's incredibly clear from context that the whole paragraph there is specifically them talking about their own attitude, not passing judgment on anyone else.

in fact, TBH, I don't think it's even possible to call either of those statements a generalization about fandom.

Except it's patently not clear when a whole bunch of people in this thread have taken it differently to you.

...how? How on earth is it not even possible to you to call "fanworks are pointless" a generalization about fandom? Fandom almost completely revolves around fanworks. I'll grant you OP is only talking about his or her own personal preference, but to say that calling the backbone of fandom "pointless" can't possibly be speaking about fandom in general is...ridiculous.

Except that OP said "fanworks feel pointless." It's a generalization, sure, but it's OP's own personal generalization and it was phrased as such. World of difference between that and stating that they are pointless, full stop.
