This isn't the secrets themselves, but someone will post a secret about some old fandom - Harry Potter, Buffy, Heroes - and some smart ass will inevitably be all hipstery and go, "this fandom died years ago." Yes, and because it was years ago, there's bound to be new fans... or people who still, you know, have thoughts.

This. I hate all the "but this wank is sooooooooo old!" comments. There are plenty of people who might watch Buffy for the first time, let them have their opinions and discuss it with other people who want to do the same. Why piss in their cornflakes?

AYRT - Exactly. I was a bit too young for Buffy when it first aired, and then just never bothered catching up until a few years after it ended. I had a lot of thoughts once I finally watched it, if nothing I needed to make a secret about.

I hate this too. Even if a fandom is old sometimes it's fun to still have these discussions, and some of my very favorite things I watch/read repeatedly and can still rant and rave all day long.

Even if it's something that has been argued about in fandom repeatedly I think people should just scroll through it rather then make people discussing it feel like they shouldn't bother.

Similar for me. Maybe I WANT to rehash something old. Maybe a lot of other people do, to. Fans generally like to rehash their favorite shit. That's why they're, you know, FANS.

Exactly. Although part of me isn't so sure all of fandom really gets that anymore. So many people here admit to being in fandoms where they don't really know the source material, I wonder whether it's a new trend to be in fandom less for the fan aspect and more to write a lot of smut. But there are those of us who are still fans to be fans... and we are still going to like the things we're fans of.

I didn't watch Buffy until last year so everything was so new to me :o I think my secrets were well received, mostly encouraging to keep on watching.
