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

Yeah, people really tend to misuse/misunderstand what the whole "free speech" thing means a lot of the time. It's quite sad.

And I agree with your overall post. If they want to complain about or trash that thing, then they can start their own discussion thread. Sometimes some fans just want a happy, wank-free space, and there's nothing wrong with that, and they deserve to have that.

I also hate the idea that if you try and focus on positive aspects of something you're a "Pollyanna" or a "lemming" or whatever. I can find plenty to critique about the shows I love, too, episodes and seasons I'm not as big on and stuff like that. I'm not naïve enough to claim everything is totally perfect. But for the most part, if I'm talking about something I'm a fan of, I like to focus on and talk about the good sides of it, the things that made me love it in the first place.

(And of course, on the flip side, I hate that people assume that any criticism means you're not a "true fan" and you automatically must hate the show or something. It's like people can't understand the concept of balanced opinions and thoughts, everything's got to be one extreme or another.)
