Anybody have any? I have a fandom acquaintance who is genuinely starting to scare me with just vile she is towards fan of a ship that she hates. I'm not talking about sending anon hate (although she does), I'm talking borderline stalking, such as tracking down Facebook pages for people she hates and finding out where they work.
It's getting a little scary, and I'm worried about what she might do next.

So, anybody else have experience with this?

My fandom has one pairing. Only one. Sometimes people don't like the pairing, and when they start complaining, the shippers start bitching, shots fired, shit meets fan, death threats get thrown... I honestly wonder just how many of them are legit sociopaths.

NAYRT - TBH in general I think a lot of people in fandom are... very disconnected from the real world, if not straight-up sociopaths. I had a friend who said she couldn't talk to a mutual friend because the friend was having problems, "and I'm not a sympathetic person."

One pairing?

Serious question - are there only two characters?

(The only fandom I'm familiar with that has two characters was Portal, but only before Portal 2. Is it WTNV? I've never gotten into that, but the only two characters I've ever heard of from it are Cecil and Carlos, and I know people ship them.)

Well, two girls are being charged as adults for stabbing someone to death because of Slenderman.

Yep, that takes the cake.

I do "love" that people are acting like it's a new phenomenon to get obsessed with something to that degree, though. Like the Salem Witch Trials never happened...

I fucking HATE when kids are tried as adults. Sick fascist bullshit.

I have to say I agree. People do it only because they want "justice" (really, vengeance) and it's an easy way for them to get it. I get that it's hard to have empathy for someone who seriously hurt you or a loved one, even if that person is a child. I really do. But that's why the justice system exists and vigilante justice is frowned upon. (Usually I hear of families of victims pressuring the courts to try someone as an adult. And it's like no, don't, if they're not, you know, ACTUALLY an adult.)

I disagree. A teenager knows that killing someone is wrong, no matter the reasoning behind it. They also know that Slenderman isn't real, and if they don't know that, then they have serious mental issues that need to be addressed.

In this case, these girls plotted the attempted murder for weeks and lured their victim to a place where they knew no one would find her and then stabbed her nineteen times. This isn't a kid doing something dumb, that's downright cold-blooded sociopathic behavior. They absolutely should be treated as adults for that level of malice aforethought that went into it.

If they didn't know it was wrong they wouldn't be being tried at all. We have procedures for that one. What they lack was both a clear insight into what they were doing, and a full appreciation of the consequences for them as well as the victim. That is because teenagers are still children. That lack of full appreciation of consequences and insight are why children do not get tried as adults, no matter how much we want to pretend otherwise.

They did this because they thought their obnoxious fangirl canonized crappypasta universe of Tumblroid self-insert characters was REAL. THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SOMETHING ONLY KIDS DO.

But if it were two boys instead of two girls, you wouldn't have any issues with them being tried as adults, wouldn't you?

Hey, someone had to say it.

AYRT

Don't be an idiot. Sick fascist bullshit is sick fascist bullshit.

I came across someone who claimed to seriously be afraid of statues in case they were Weeping Angels.

It may have been a joke that was the casualty of tone on the internet fail, but based on other interactions with this person I'm not 100% sure. I worry about her sometimes. :/

Andrew Blake

Also, sad to say, a lot of the people he manipulated. You have to have a fairly shaky grasp of reality to begin with to believe that someone is a paladin fighting evil on the astral plane, or the rest of the crap Andy fed his groupies.

Note that this doesn't mean they deserved to be emotionally abused by a sociopath--but it's probably part of what he looked for in his victims.

More like he looked for emotionally vulnerable people - there's a reason most keep referring to him as a CULT leader. From what I've read he didn't start with the astral plane things until he had manipulated and emotionally/mentally wore them down until they wouldn't question him.

"I'm talking borderline stalking, such as tracking down Facebook pages for people she hates and finding out where they work.
It's getting a little scary, and I'm worried about what she might do next."

Wow um....that is legit scary. If she goes too far is there a way you can report her or something because if she goes any farther you may have to.

IA.

If my sources are correct, she was banned from attending a convention recently because one of the girls she stalks reported her.

Names and fandom omitted, but this person who was a big fan of [movie] decided she hated the graphic novel sequel and wrote a hilarious butthurt journal entry lambasting the movie creators for how they'd betraaaaaaaaaaayed fandom and how awful they were to devalue the canon so, how they ought to issue a public apology, etc. I didn't think the graphic novel was much good either but I thought lady, get a life.

... Labyrinth?

Shipping is insane.

Not stalking, but idle threats and other things. It can get pretty bad with some people. It sucks when you are the target of such things, even if it's only for the length of a forum thread. People be crazy.
