Re: Are you a fandom snob about anything?

[(Anonymous)]

I thought I was ridiculously easy-going about this, and about mistakes people make when they don't know all the backstory, or the extended canon, or the source material, or whatever.

But then I realized, this is only when they make mistakes positively, like "ooooh how about this cool idea that makes no sense in canon but is still cool and enthusiastic and fun?" THAT is fine. But I absolutely cannot abide it when people invent a headcanon, then bash a character solely on the basis of that headcanon, without realizing that their headcanon goes totally counter to established canon.

Like that time someone wrote this tooth-grinding smarmy essay about how Galadriel is a horrible person for going to Valinor and "abandoning" the Lothlorien elves "without protection," because the fan believed that the Lothlorien elves can't go to Valinor/the Valar hate all non-Noldor and Sindar elves.

Dude, if you "believe" Lothlorien elves can't go to Valinor without checking to see if this is actually the case, IDGAF. Tolkien is fucking complicated and it's ridiculous to scoff at anyone for being bamboozled and confused by his reams and reams of scattered ideas.

But if you decide to BASH a character on the basis of stuff you just made up inside your head without making absolutely sure you know what the fuck you are talking about, sorry but I will immediately blacklist your name forever. Character bashing is my fandom berserk button.

*Facepalm* That just makes me laugh, the idea the that any Elves would be restricted from going to Valinor!

Aside from that ridiculousness, what did that person think Galadriel needed to protect them from? Sauron was gone (or at least powerless). Also, how did they expect her to keep protecting them? The power she was using was her Ring, which lost it's power when the One Ring was destroyed.
