1. That's your choice. Don't blame your cowardice on fandom.

2. I love Moyashimon.

3. A murdering psychopath is your hero. Someone needs to see a professional.

10. Better yet, get the LJ Login firefox extension. If you have ten thousand journals like some of these people seem to, you NEED it. There's no excuse not to have it and use it. One click and you're signed into your other journal. It's like magic!

23. Lame. You don't know what's coming down the road. You're gonna eat those words when the next shoujo ai epic comes out. Don't judge a book that has yet to come out!

24. Face it, the whole movie is going to be insanely bad. But you'll see it anyway and bitch about it afterwards. Might as well bring some alcohol and laugh.

46. People have no sense of imagination, that's why.

51. Authority. Some day I will read it.

63. I stopped watching the anime completely because of that.

[infringe.livejournal.com]

10. You still have to refresh. ):

[srsfnbsns.livejournal.com]

ZOMFG! Someone my break a finger hitting F5!

[infringe.livejournal.com]

ZOMG! I'm not afraid to admit I'm PRET. SRSLY LAZY. Also, loading 80+ images AGAIN? Not exactly a walk in the park, kthx.

[canshatterglass.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that and some of us have very slow connections which don't enjoy reloading all those images. Waiting for it to load the first time is bad enough.

ETA: Okay, sorry, just noticed you had a bunch of people downthread saying the same thing. Way to be observant, me! So, yeah, apologies for that.

[labellesansbra.livejournal.com]

What dosage says. And honestly? FS isn't a problem most of the time, but there are some comms where it's a pain in the ass to refresh just to switch journals. (not to mention that the method the secret says takes you back to the page and not to the thread, which can also be in a pain the ass)

Too lazy to log out Don't want to bother logging out, excuse the rp journal.

[srsfnbsns.livejournal.com]

*cries emo tears* IT'S SO HARD! WHY IS TECHNOLOGY SO FUCKING HARD! PUSHING A BUTTON TAKES TOO MUCH EFFORT! CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA!

[hentai-satsuki.livejournal.com]

Don't forget that not everyone has broadband in this day and age -HOW COULD THEY- and that getting pages and images to load up multiple times can take, and I know this is surprising, minutes before you can do anything else.

That and my computer slows down like a fucking bitch in molasses when I'm downloading porn, man.

[crystaldawn.livejournal.com]

True story, I have a friend that I have to c/p secrets and responses to when we get a funny one because her dial up can't handle SEVENTY-FUCKING-PLUS LARGE IMAGES HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

[srsfnbsns.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had dial-up in the not too distant past. I'd load up a page and then stop it while it was loading the images. Then I'd right click and view image to see image of my choice. You deal with what you got.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

And you can deal with it yourself. Seriously, why do you give such a shit if people use their rp journals? They find it inconvenient to switch, WHO CARES?

[srsfnbsns.livejournal.com]

Even with dial-up, it doesn't take that long. I recently switched from ye olde copper wire dial-up, and yeah, it was slow, but it didn't take ten years to load. If it took two minutes, I'd be over in another window looking at something else. It's not that fucking hard. There is no excuse you can make that will justify this laziness.

[infringe.livejournal.com]

It's also not that fucking hard to realize you're getting worked up over people who are TOO LAZY to log out?? Uh.

[labellesansbra.livejournal.com]

In my case, half the time I don't care. Oh noes, it's my RP account. Now you know my dirty secret. It's not like you can't see people's RP accounts from their profiles half the time.

Hence the "don't want to bother logging out".

(But I will also say that the speed is the biggest thing most people don't anyway. I used to have a computer that had a three gb harddrive and like 256 mbs of RAM and even with cable, it made me want to cry. so. some people connect to the internet using bubblegum and paperclips.)

[paperclipchains.livejournal.com]

1. I'm sure you'd say the same thing about people who hide their sex online to avoid harassment in, for example, gaming communities? Or their sexual orientation?

[srsfnbsns.livejournal.com]

While the internet is the home of anonymous and people who make up identities and hide, that is their choice. Sure they can say "Fandome MAKES ME hide" or "Homophobes MAKE ME hide" but in the end they've made a choice to hide. You can't blame your choices on anyone but you.

[paperclipchains.livejournal.com]

Sure you can. A choice between harassment and acceptance isn't much of a choice. The only choices that can be properly criticized are the ones made with complete freedom.

It's the same thing as saying that you're inviting harassment because you CHOOSE to show your faith.

[srsfnbsns.livejournal.com]

Give me one example, with links, proof, something, where religious fans are getting attacked for having the gall to have religion. I want to see these horrible crimes against people of faith that make them hide.

I don't know what fandoms you hang out with, but I have never been in a fandom that made people hide their religion. I've never been in a fandom that it was even a concern that someone had religion. Got religion? That's great! Sure it might take exception to you writing fics where everyone turns born again Christian, but that doesn't mean you have to hide. Fandom is not some big bad horrible place where you can't be yourself. I feel that it's quite the opposite.

[paperclipchains.livejournal.com]

Well I don't exactly keep a running tab of people who get attacked for being religious, is the thing here.

I'm not religious, but I've definitely seen religion derided in fandom. I think there is a certain amount of hostility towards directed towards people with particular viewpoints (especially ones related to sex, love, monogamy, etc.) that don't always jive with the fandom's value system.

I think this is basically going to come down to a difference of opinion/experience, though.

[karel]

Give me one example, with links, proof, something, where religious fans are getting attacked for having the gall to have religion.

I would, but about 99% of the time, it gets deleted due to how badly they get attacked (and sometimes how badly they respond, but that's life).

3 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Like no one else has ever admired an antagonist in the history of anything ever. Doesn't mean I'm going to start cracking people's skulls open. Don't have the superpowers.

Re: 3 OP

[srsfnbsns.livejournal.com]

Enjoying a character is different from claiming them as your hero. Plenty of people enjoy villains. Most of them don't say that they're their heroes, implying that they look up to them and want to be like them.

Re: 3 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Yes. Okay you're right.

I really do want to be like Sylar. I've never felt this way before. I guess it's horrible but I'm not trying to be horrible. Honestly. It's just one of those things. I guess that's why it's a secret. :(

Re: 3 OP

[(Anonymous)]

No, I understand what you're saying. I mean, it's still twisted any way you look at it and he's never been a stable individual but hey, he saw an opportunity to change his life and he went for it. It wasn't the, uh, best approach but still. He had the balls to not only do it but stick with it. I really do understand because I feel the same way about his character (although I tend toward the "inside he's a gooey emotional wreck and just needs lurve" camp, haha). It's an admirable trait by itself, just remember that he's worked himself into a corner and even if he wanted to stop there would be no one left for him to turn to who might sympathize with him. His rash, destructive actions have left him alone and will be his undoing.

Re: 3 OP

[(Anonymous)]

It *is* the best approach!

Heh. Yes, I completely understand what you're saying. But in reality, you don't think he'd have his support? He is alone. I think that's admirable. The fact that he doesn't mind being alone is admirable. But in reality I don't think he really would be alone.

There are enough people who identify with him.
