I just recently got a comment on an old fic and I SO want to reply back and start an argument about it because the person replying was SO wrong. Still resisting the urge but man do I want to do it.

I feel your pain. It annoys me when people are being Wrong on the Internet, even if it's really old stuff.

I thought people being Wrong On The Internet was annoying.

Then I discovered people Being Wrong On Tumblr. For some reason, its even worse. I think it's the knowledge that the wrongness has been reblogged 50k times by gullible idiots, with the proof there in the notes.

There's hope that some of the notes are people calling out the gullible idiots though

(Anonymous) 2014-12-05 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
That's the problem. On tumblr, the notes correcting the gullible idiots aren't the ones reposted. They're voices in the dark, rarely reblogged, but still adding to the note count.

Oh man, something quite similar happened to me just this week.

It's not a super-old fic, even though I've since left the fandom, but the comment just made NO sense whatsoever. I doubt it was a flame despite its vitriol, because this person seemed legit furious about one aspect of the fic. Which would be fine, except the thing they were pissed off about literally did not exist. I still can't understand how they managed to get halfway through the fic and still thought that what they were angry about actually happened. This fic's been up for years and not a single other person has gotten confused by this point. Not one.

They were anon (of course) so I couldn't reply anyway, but if I was still writing for that fandom I think I'd have ended up making a public post about it. Fortunately I'm not so all I could do was sit there, privately bewildered by it.
