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

Dan and Phil

I love the YTers themselves but the fandom is the worst. I know real-people fandoms have bad reputations in general because they're real people that fans can fantasise about meeting and whatnot, but the Phandom is so horrible it's unbelievable. I like jokes about how close they are too because their chemistry is definitely why I like them, but people who actually put things like 'I believe Dan and Phil are secretly dating' in their blog description are on another level.

I've seen vids and read blog entries from people who met them or were with other people who met them and I really admire Dan and Phil for still being so nice and thinking so much of their fanbase after meeting people who literally just scream in their face. I understand getting excited, but there's a line between that and being plain rude.

It's awful because I really think they're lovely boys who are so inspiring and have a lot of content that appeals to more than just teenage fangirls but I don't blame anyone for not wanting to get involved in the fandom because of the people in it.

I'm a newer fan and I was shocked at some of the phandom. (Shouldn't be, what with how long I've been in fandom.)

When I heard that people were shouting "have sex!", "kiss!" and "phan is real!" at their tour I got so much secondhand embarrassment. I want to follow them too, but so much of the fandom skeeves me out that I almost don't want to go into the tumblr tag.

(And for fucks sake, people need to stop sending them graphic fanart/fanfic.)
