Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Then say 'they're just friends, the threesome doesn't actually exist in canon'; saying 'they're barely ever in the same scene!' makes it seem like you're putting down their entire relationship, not just the idea of them as a romance.

(Also, eh, I have a screwy definition of OT3...most of mine I'm happy to admit that they're more inextricable friends than anything in canon, and I'm fine with it. To me it's evolved to mean more than just 'three people having sex,' as opposed to 'threesome.' But fandom language is weird and personal.)

Do you really think that's what OT3 generally means in a fandom context, or is that just for the sake of this argument?

I fail to see where exactly in my original comment I seemed to be implying that there is no relationship between those three whatsoever. The OP said 'I wish real life OT3s would work as well as theirs', so I challenged them to give me a reason to believe this, since I hardly ever see them together doing their OT3 things, and when they are together... hey, no OT3 things either! And then I affirmed that the OT3 doesn't exist in canon.

Sure, it's open to misinterpretation, but I find the 'Then say' in your last reply a bit rich. That's not what I meant at all, you leapt to that conclusion. The most I can do is clarify, but why should you get to tell me how to make comments? :)

...no, and I never said I really thought that's what it meant, just that that's what it meant to me.

You may not have meant that, but it's certainly how it came off when you chose to focus on their lack of screentime together rather than their lack of romance. If someone makes an unclear comment and then tries to insist it means one specific thing when I challenge them on it, of course I'm going to tell them to be more clear about it next time. It's not about me 'getting to' do anything to you, it's about communication. The fact that you're complaining about it only indicates you don't have any better way of defending what you said. Admit you should have phrased it more clearly and move on already.

I have already admitted that, not just once. But, just wondering, if that wasn't what it meant, yet still meant that to you, then... who's making the mistake here?

Oh, but then it seems I've pissed you off. That I certainly didn't mean to. I'll be moving on now, as per your suggestion, seeing as I really can't defend my argument anymore than I've already have, and apparently it's still going to mean something else entirely to you anyway. You... keep doing what you do. Patrol those Internet comments, keep 'em nice and concise, the public thanks you and wishes you a merry Christmas :)
