I agree. I am embarrassed to say I followed fanficrants for a few years, mainly because it was so popular back in the LJ days. I even posted a few times, though they were generic trope complaints rather than specific fic/author criticisms.

But it was so damn toxic and "SJW" (especially by the end)... which made it all the more ridiculously hypocritical. The very premise of the damn community was generally bullying, by pointing out stupid fics and such. And then the asshole mod encouraged that kind of atmosphere that'd dogpile someone for saying "lame".

So glad I got out of that, but really regret that I participated for so long. Fuck communities based on bullying, and fuck communities that encourage dogpiling and SJW circle-wanks.

I really think the trend to label every negative interaction "bullying" is bullshit. Bullying is a sustained campaign of persecution against someone--usually for some difference that's beyond their control. Ranting about fanfiction on the internet does not qualify.

I disagree.

Comms like that DO promote bullying. Where a person is singled out for the sole purpose of degrading something about them (in this case, a fic they have written), it's bullying.

I was a member of an anti comm once, and it affected the main comm. People felt like they couldn't post for fears of being ridiculed. So yeah. I think there are bullying aspects

Except that mocking fic is not synonymous with "degrading" the author--especially when the ridicule isn't even directed at a specific fic, but at a trope. (Which, as I recall, was the case at FFR more often than not.)
