Re: 42.

And some people like a "safe place" to complain. For some of us complaining *is* fun. It's not like the community is any sort of threat to yaoi fandom.

*sigh* Maybe we're misunderstanding each other, of course I don't think it's a threat. ^^; Nor does it bother me is people as quietly complaining without bothering others.

I was just curious about what you said, as it did seem pretty contradictory.

Re: 42.

Originally, I was just giving a simple *wave* to someone who, in their secret, mentioned they were on Antiyaoi. By the fandom represented, I think I know who originated the secret.

And suddenly, it would seem "yet another" person who sees "antiyaoi" and is all "Ack! How *dare* such a place exist!!" came up and poked their nose in to whine and to accuse people of spending all their time going around and bashing yaoi.

I've seen this happen more times than I can count. Now, I cannot speak for everyone on antiyaoi, but in my experience there - the majority of members *are* into "live and let live" (ie, they aren't flamers who deliberately go out of their way to provoke yaoi fans). Antiyaoi seems, for the majority, to be a safe place for us to express opinions in fandom that would get us *roasted* anywhere else.

It seems to me that people tend to "shoot first and ask questions later" when it comes to any "anti" com. Sometimes, there's a reason for them existing. Sometimes, people actually *have fun* complaining about stuff, and if it's just harmless complaining on an out of the way community, why is it so *wrong?*

I'll give it to you that it's pretty pointless, but I find much of fandom pretty pointless. Fandomsecrets is pretty damn pointless.

Haha, great take on it, very true. ^_^


As I said before, I wouldn't have said anything purely on grounds of you being a member of the community, it was only in responce to the comment that you made, I'm sorry you found it so offensive, but again, live and let live, I thought 'what the hell, I'm just ask'.


As far as the comm itself, I'm certainly not screeching 'how dare such a place exist'...if it doesn't bother me and isn't hurting anybody I don't really care. I don't personally think any anti-comms are worth the energy myself (and if I came upon an anti-het comm or similar I'd be banging my head against the desk), but I don't really give it any thought to other people participating in them. It's only if they were promoting genuine homophobia or similar that I would actually get angry.
