Fandoms you used to love and now actively dislike

[philstar22]

Are there any fandoms that you used to really love, but now you can't watch or read or play them and you really don't like them anymore?

Re: Fandoms you used to love and now actively dislike

[philstar22]

For me, the two would be Bones and House. I used to be really into them, and now I have no desire to even go back and rewatch the earlier stuff. The stuff that came later ruined them for me, and now I don't like any of the characters.

Welcome to Night Vale. The fandom was one of the biggest reasons I lost interest in the show. But I did move on to better story podcasts. :P

[morieris]

I wasn't terribly deep into FiM, but I did actually keep up with episodes.

They're so constantly EPIC and SERIES CHANGING to the point where I'm like "Just stop it."

Ender' Game. I was really into the series as a young teenager. Then the info about Card actively donating to homophobic organizations broke, and I haven't been able to enjoy the books since.

STAR WARS.

I can't even see the logo on a sign in a store these days without getting irrationally angry at it. It was fandom what killed my love for it - constant prequel bashing combined with social media oversaturation of geeks quoting it, making references, and shoveling it into every corner of my consciousness. It's sort of like listening to your favorite song too often, until you make yourself sick of it and then can't stand even having it come on over the grocery store muzak.

FMA, to some extent. I hated the end of the manga so much that it soured me terribly on everything. It's been a few years now, and I'm not as broken up about it, but I haven't been able to bring myself to read the manga again, or watch the anime.
I used to list FMA as one of the best anime out there and rec it everywhere, but nowadays it's hard to bring myself to, even though the series is actually quality. So I might suggest it, but my heart's not in it, if that makes sense.

BBC Sherlock

Supernatural. Yikes.

Obviously not everyone, but as a monolith.

What movie left you in awe/amazement?

[(Anonymous)]

anime woes

[(Anonymous)]

So there's a relatively new BL anime in town (called 'Super Lovers') and pretty much everyone is gushing about it, because it has a good studio behind it and good VAs and the animation doesn't suck balls, yadda yadda yadda.
Meanwhile I'm screaming inside because it's pretty much another Pedo Grooming 101 anime and nobody warned me.

"he's mature for his age"
"he's older than he looks"
"in Japan the age of consent is 13"

*claws face in desperation*

Sooo... What anime ended up disappointing you and why?
What anime surprised you positively?

Based on Secret #9

[mrs_don_draper]

I had to write a short story for my creative writing class that's due tomorrow and has to be at least 5 pages, but I was drawing a blank on something new to write, so I filed off the serial numbers of a fanfic I wrote, and I'm turning that in instead. And it's 7 pages, so, yay!

How does fanfic and original fic overlap in your lives, F!S?

Adult ADD/ADHD?

[sparrow_lately]

Does anybody know much about this/treatment/management/etc? This would be diagnosed in adulthood.

Rare Pairs

[(Anonymous)]

What are some of your rare pairs that as far as you know, less than five people ship. So, no more than 5 fics of that kind on Ao3 or FF.net (since other fandom places are usually too hard to look through).

What is your oddest rare pair?

Do you have any rare pairs that are OT3s or more?

Mental health check in thread

How's everybody doing?

Work (or school) Confessions/Secrets

[(Anonymous)]

What are your work-related confessions? School counts!

some food for thought

What is a fact you learned...

[(Anonymous)]

that blew your mind?

Myths that annoy you

[(Anonymous)]

The misinformation kind, not the mythology kind. Like 'scientifically bees can't fly' or 'tomatoes are a fruit they are not a vegetable'?

Any of them that you see, even in joking, and just want to be That Guy and get all 'Well, actually.... ' at the person saying it? Get it off your chest here!

quick question

[(Anonymous)]

I wanted to ask something about mansplaining.

Do you think there's a difference between someone who is mansplaining, and someone who is being awkward in a non-mansplaining way? Do you think there's any way you could tell the difference between those things externally?
