Just speaking as someone who has very particular favorites and would be immediately identified if I talked about them anonymously or made a secret about them, I get it. It's not really about being ashamed, though I do get extremely embarrassed and distressed sometimes over my fannishness over certain characters, but more that you just don't want to be recognized as "oh, that annoying fan going on about someone no one cares about."

nayrt

This. I am irrationally fond of a character in my (closed-canon, very tiny) fandom who appeared on all of 2 episodes. All I would have to do is say that character's name and everyone would be pointing at me and eyerolling.

It's a lonely thing to love a minor character :'-(

This is me. I have one character who I adore to the nth degree, and yet I tend to keep that to myself. Because... I don't even know why, exactly, but it makes me feel vulnerable for people to know that I have this over-the-top love for that one character.

I can't really explain it, but I've been that way with almost all of my most-favorite characters.

Yes, exactly, this is how I feel as well. I have no problem expressing admiration for certain characters I like but don't have a crush on, but when I fall head-over-heels for a character I keep it to myself (or I'm being extremely subtle and low-key about it).

Just how much do you think people care about you that we would go "Oh! A secret about X! Must fingals! Couldn't possibly be anyone else!!"

(Anonymous) 2015-11-09 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
People have literally done that, multiple times

Like, that exact thing has happened repeatedly

Yeah, you've got your handful of trolls who think all OC writers are jaybie and all wrestler fans are...whichever one of is is all about the wrestling. But those are blatant trolls. To assume the average FSer would automatically know without a shadow of a doubt that "THIS SECRET IS BY MEEE!!!!" is the height of narcissism.

Ain't none of us that important to the world around here.

Lmao. I know you're joking now because every time a wrestling secret was posted most of the comments were "Hi, Fingal." So the fact that you mention wrestling and then pointedly avoid mentioning me is pretty funny. Kudos. :)
