Re: Fandom Etiquette

[aboutelle]

Why would you assume this?

I assume that because I've seen enough arguments that started with someone responding to one of those posts. Usually it goes like this:

A: "Char is such a bitch. I wish she would die already."
B: *in an offended tone* "Why do you think that?"
A: "Numbered list of things Char has done wrong; and also why are you responding to my post. Free speech etc."
B: "Numbered counter-arguments; and also free speech doesn't mean you're not wrong, because you are, personal insult."
*rapid descent into more personal insults that somehow ends with both parties thinking they're being the reasonable one*

I don't think the general tag should be reserved for positive comments only. There's a middle ground between uncritical love ("This character is perfect and can do no wrong") and hate ("She's a slut and needs to die.") I actually think you could have a very interesting discussion about how one character I often see referred to as a slut seems to view sex as a currency. I just really don't think that someone who calls her a slut and wishes for her death is looking to have that discussion.

Fair enough.

I didn't realize initially, upon reading your post, that you were referring ONLY to people who post insulting comments when saying they weren't looking for a discussion. (I initially thought you meant that people who write anything negative weren't looking for discussion).

I agree that people who write "so and so is a useless bitch" are 99% of the time not looking for constructive commentary. And I do think that they should, as a matter of courtesy, try to post that more in hate-specific tags. But I also don't really think it's something fandom should jump down their throat for either (unless they put it in a positive tag -- then that's fair).
