[ 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

Re: OCs
(Anonymous) 2016-02-22 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)IIRC the thread where that happened was a "characters you'd like to see" post or something to that effect, something about characters. I believe she admitted afterwards that it was a case of being unaware of how she was coming across.
It was annoying, definitely but but it seemed to be a lapse of social understanding if anything. And yes she did get over it and actually apologized for the incident in question (she seemed pretty upset that she had made people angry with her) once some people explained it instead of just berating her.
That day there was a lot of discussion about OCs and characters, so I'd guess she just got excited and forgot herself like a lot of people can do when a subject they particularly enjoy is being discussed, especially if they lack self awareness and social judgement. I know I've embarrassed myself when people started talking about anime in real life a fair few times.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-23 03:53 am (UTC)(link)And they're very pathetic. Like congrats,man, you're putting more than a year's effort into cyberbullying someone (probably with some sort of social disability) to "teach her a lesson" for the horrible crime of being overenthusiastic about something you don't like.
I don't even think she cares that much either. I mean sure she pops up to correct someone who's saying something false, but other than that, I don't see much reaction to it.
Does this person get some kind of weird thrill out of a bunch of people telling them "knock it off, you're being a dick" and "okay your obsession with this person is creepy". Is this really what trolling has come to, acting horrible and unbearably obnoxious and just getting a kick out of people reacting to it?
Sad.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-23 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)I mean, trolling used to MEAN something. When I did it, it was an art form. Carefully chosen recipients, carefully chosen words... more importantly, not going *way* too far.
But this sad sack is just... something else. Stalking someone for over a year after they've pretty much completely dropped the behavior they were being made fun of for? Basically just flooding threads with mindless attention-seeking and a truly half-assed sense of self-righteous rationalization?
Man, they really give us bridge-dwellers a bad name. I may have been something of a rogue and a villain, but I had standards.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-23 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)I wonder if that sad-sack wannabe-troll needs to get laid or something. Probably can't.
