22. Discussing the social complexities and political dimmensions of fiction is well and good, sometimes it's fun. But some people take it too far and act like anyone who doesn't is an ignorant feeb.

[annwyd.livejournal.com]

The secret doesn't say "I hate when people won't shut up about the sociopolitical/feminist issues of fandom," though; it says that the OP hates when people bring those issues into fandom, period.

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

Hmm...well, then either they're being as bossy as the people who insist fandom MUST constantly yammer on about this stuff, or they made a frustrated generalization.

[annwyd.livejournal.com]

I admit I don't have much sympathy for people who make such obvious generalizations on fandomsecrets, frustrated or not. Some of the things the comm picks on seem kind of silly, but when it comes to the blatant generalizations (like this one)? If they've been watching the comm for more than a day, it should be obvious how annoying it is when people submit secrets with angry generalizations--and, in turn, the way the comm responds. I know that when I submit secrets, I'm careful not to say something like that.

(Also...I never said that fandom "MUST constantly yammer on about this stuff," just that some people in fandom really ought to sometimes. Big difference.)

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

This is true. While I don't think people should have to proofread and edit their every opinion, they should at least STATE that it's an opinion or "it feels like, to me" to cover their asses. Least I think so.

(Well, I wasn't saying YOU did. :P)

22. So no one ever should, and those who do are somehow ruining it for those who "just want to have fun"? If you want fluffy discussions, that's perfectly fine, and there are plenty of places where that happens. But who is the OP to tell anyone who wants to dig a little deeper into the fiction and look at the influences behind a piece to stfu because it's "just fandom"?

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

Well, no. But like I said, some people take it too far. This is a prime example. (http://wiki.fandomwank.com/index.php/But_what_are_your_thoughts_on_yaoi%3F)

[loveotter.livejournal.com]

Some people take it too far.

True enough.
