F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)

F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required.
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff. If you want me to link your thread up here, drop a link in the first comment!



General:
Halloween costumes

Fandom-general:
Porn comics
F/F recs
Guilty pleasures

Fandom-specific:
Girl Meets World

I hate to be the one to tell ya this but, you're probably telling them what they want and encouraging them. Telling them that this is how they can destroy people.

You have to understand that people like this think differently than most people. People who do things like this, they're predatory and they enjoy the idea of power over someone else, the power to discourage someone and make them leave. They want to think they can shut down and destroy people if they don't like them.

It's tempting to think that an angry "look at what you did" will make them feel bad, but, it just doesn't work like that.

Bullies and trolls like this are the ultimate attention whores. They enjoy any acknowledgement and recognition they can get.

If you give them the knowledge that it was them who did this to you, then they will do it to someone else down the line.

So their possible future bad behavior towards others is my fault? Gee, thanks buddy, you have this whole kicking a man when he's down thing really sewn up. Also, NO. It's theirs.

I'm not saying it's your fault that they're doing it. They're still being creeps.

I'm just saying that they know they're being creeps and trying to discourage someone and saying "congrats you discouraged me" only tells them they did what they wanted. So it's probably not going to accomplish what you think it is.

That's not what I was trying to do, though. I get that jerks will be jerks. I was venting. Guy (or gal) prolly isn't here now.

Yes, there are some particularly nasty people here. I had someone tell me I was the reason they hated a ship and some other nasty comments.

Honestly, you just need to learn to ignore it. Don't let them ruin your enjoyment.
