Erm, I don't want to be rude, but it kinda sounds like you might have autism.

Have you tried asking your doctor? Mental illnesses are powerful enemies but you can defeat them with the right support.

... or they just have a different perspective.

If their take on the canon is especially complex, it might be difficult to articulate clearly -- but don't mistake complexity for pathology.

OP, depending on the size of your fandoms and/or the spaces you try to interact in, it could very well be them, not you.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-01 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No. If they think everyone else is stupid and not "real fans" for seeing things differently from them, it isn't the other people in the fandom who are the problem.

Doesn't mean OP has autism, but it does mean they're arrogant and probably come across that way.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-02 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Not likely. Even if their fandom has half a dozen people in it, if they behave like everyone with a differing opinion isn't a real fan, it's totally, 100% them.

Erm, I don't want to be rude, but how would a diagnosis help anything? I mean, even if you're right (and protip: not every social behavior that's not yours is 'on the *spectrum*'), ....what's your point, exactly? You think they need mental help? medication?

In other words, you think THEY are the problem, here. Really?

Letme take it seriously for a second here, though. The fact that the person is aware that they are not interacting well? AUTOMATICALLY kills an autism diagnosis.

this all of this so much this

I actually have an ASD diagnosis, and I don't think that whether they're autistic or not is actually all that relevant.

Someone can have a self-important view of their own misinterpretation of a text without being a high-analyzing, low-empathizing "autistic brain."

SA: And OP may well be in the right here!

And from posts below, it sounds like OP is objecting to woobifying villains, which most likely means OP is right and the other fans are wrong.

Re: SA: And OP may well be in the right here!

I don't see OP actually saying this is what they're disagreeing with, though. Some other anon was projecting their own dislikes and issues onto OP's secret.

Re: SA: And OP may well be in the right here!

But a lot of people who object to others woobifying villians fail to realize that's often an AU, wish-fulfillment, fix it fic, guilty pleasure kind of thing, and doesn't literally mean that it's how they want to see that character act in canon.

It's not so simple as the OP being right or wrong, even if it's because they hate the wooby.
