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

"DoFP literally erased the original X-Men films from continuity": well no, it erased the shitty third movie that nearly everyone hated.

Fandom Whining: Shit happens. It sucks, but the fact of the matter is the movies are 1000% times for accessible to people.

Close Friends Thing: People can become very close in a short period of time. And I thought XMFC took place over months not weeks.


It will never not have a monopoly. The movies are easy to see and have good looking actors. Comics will lose every time.

"well no, it erased the shitty third movie that nearly everyone hated."

True. Even I can't find it in myself to defend the piece of trash that was X3. However, I've seen more than a few people talk about the original films as if all three of them were erased by DoFP, not just X3. I don't know if it's because they interpreted DoFP differently than I did, or because they just weren't paying attention... in any case, it's annoying.

"It sucks, but the fact of the matter is the movies are 1000% times for accessible to people."

I know you're right, but it still frustrates me.

"People can become very close in a short period of time."

That would be fine, if it weren't for A) the retconning of their implied backstory in the first two films, and B) the "fandom taking XMFC as gospel over every other version of their relationship" aspect of it. Honestly, I wouldn't hate XMFC and its version of the characters if it wasn't displacing all the other versions that exist.

I appreciate that you took the time to read my whole comment and didn't accuse me of being a hipster who wants to keep people out of the fandom. Thank you for that. (Not being sarcastic, I really do appreciate it.)
