Re: Character with Good Fandoms

Just my fandom in general seems disproprortionately nice. I tend to frequent the Sauron, Melkor, Celebrimbor, and other Feanorian sections of the fandom more. But almost everyone in the Silmarillion fandom is great. Occasional wank, but way less than any other fandom I've ever been in.

That really depends where you are though. I think the only saving grace for Tolkien fandom is that fans often self-segregate. I don't touch the Sauron side of things and my followers don't either. When it started to invade the Silm tag, people were annoyed and there was wank.

And when Feanorian apologists show up - huge meltdown. Feanorians especially have a reputation for being wanky. If you stay in your corner, you can avoid this but if you go out into the bigger Tolkien fandom, it can be pretty brutal.

Interesting. All the Feanorian fans I follow realize most of them are awful people and love them anyway, but I don't think I've followed any strictly Feanorian fans.

Not sure why there would be wank over tagging. That seems odd to me. If it is related to the Silmarillion, doesn't it belong in that tag? I don't use that tag myself, but I do block some tags of things I don't like (modern AUs for example).

It's not wank over tagging that I saw. It was the general wank about people shipping the wrong thing.

There is definitely a subset of people who like Feanorians who make them woobies. If you're following people who also ship straight-up bad guys, then you probably will encounter the people who like the Feanorians for being messed up. But there is a not insignificant portion of fans who like to excuse the Feanorians of all wrongdoing. There was one particularly memorable wank that I remember where they said the First Kinslaying was actually the Teleri's fault and no amount of logic could dissuade them.

Ew. That's gross. Yes, I tend to follow people who like complicated characters being complicated and bad guys being bad guys. That's actually something I especially love about Tolkien, how complicated so many of his characters are.
