Re: Fandom Rants

[(Anonymous)]

This is a lot of rambling, but I've been having some issues with someone in fandom. There's this crack pairing in my fandom that they absolutely love. Nothing wrong with that. Personally, I don't think it makes sense, considering that A and B of the pairing never met in canon and A is long dead before B is even aware that A ever existed. I'm not a fan of it, but whatever--if it makes those shippers happy, than so be it. I just ignore it and do my own thing. However, one shipper of this pairing would. Not. Stop. Sending asks based around this particular pairing, since it's their otp. And it grew tiresome, to the point where I just closed off requests/asks altogether because I was sick of it and really couldn't ship it. They'd also wedge in their otp in my posts that had absolutely nothing to do with them; it was awkward. It also didn't help that the way this shipper views/writes A and B is incredibly ooc and writes the same thing over and over; it's like they're two completely different characters. So one day they send an ask about their otp yet again, and I describe how I see their relationship using their canon personalities if they met. They get passive aggressive, I don't respond to their passive aggressive post, and the otp asks come to a screeching halt. Whatever.

So later down the line they make a meta post about how fandom views certain characters, and honestly the way it comes off is very generalizing and "holier than thou." I respond saying with reasons why people may see those characters as the way they are, pointing out how poor canon writing can influence fandom's general interpretation. Next thing I know they're screaming in my inbox about how I'm "attacking" their post and want an apology. Then they freak out about how they acted and backpedaled, saying that they were upset because of the "context" and how they were mad at someone else in the fandom over another post of theirs. So it makes sense to take your anger out on someone who had nothing to do with it? Yeah okay.

I know I can just easily block this person, but they also interact with a lot of people I interact with, and I can just imagine a shit storm when they figure out they've been blocked. :/

God, that felt a bit better just venting.

Take it to a public board, bait - and wait for wank of the golden type. Then share with us.

Or leave it all alone. There's no middle way.
