(Anonymous) 2015-03-28 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)Between the whole "Your character might be a Sue if.." stuff or the "don't use any of these tropes because.." stuff. Or the "that's problematic stuff" and all that stuff, the internet is really good at making people feel unsure about their work. And not in a "I might have to look at this and try better way" but more the "this is stupid , why do I even try" sort of way.
I hate how there are so many critics whose aim is to stomp out any confidence or enthusiasm a person might have (or claim it is "ego" that needs to be crushed)
I've seen people claim that an artist or writer isn't truly one until they break them" and I just thought that was so fucked up.
Fandom should be fun. It shouldn't be about "you're not doing fandom RIGHT" and making a bunch of rules.
I don't think keeping kids off the internet is that overprotective, especially with how the internet can be today. Consider how many "kill yourself" trolls we get. Imagine if a youngster ran into one of those. Scary.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)I remember talking with someone who's majoring with media and communications and they expressed the same sentiment. That they don't think kids should have such easy access to the Internet and the attitudes of certain people in fandom communities will only add to stressful situations.
