[ 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 (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
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!
List of threads:
Favorite FSers
Your diehard fandoms
NSFW confession thread
Topics you wish FS would stop wanking about
What do you want FS to talk about more?
(Pan)fandom discussion post
General opinions
Fapping material?
Random rants

Yes! And you could see where the villains were coming from. In their minds they are completely justified, and it's easy to see why they feel that way. Northern Lights likely did stop a lot of terrorist attacks and save lives, but at what cost? Same with Samaritan. And Elias was obviously a criminal, but he also did make the streets safer. Even Vigilance. Their methods weren't good, but they had a point with what they were fighting for. And at one time or another all of the villains "won".
"And the heroes are awesome too."
They all have flaws. And sometimes these flaws negatively impact their results. And I love that. They are awesome. I don't always want perfect when I can have interesting and complex.
I understand why this show isn't for everyone. I just wish more people had watched it so that it could tell more of the story that it clearly has to tell. I will miss it when I no longer have these characters to watch.
