Or...Star Trek is the fandom-relevant component of a broader issue.

[kaijinscendre]

Which isn't in the secret. This is all speculation because OP decided to confess this is a secret on a fandom site. Though, they do specifically say that THIS is what they are breaking up over.

[(Anonymous)]

You do you kaijin, but know you're being pedantic to an absurd degree.

[kaijinscendre]

I am reading the information I am provided with. Why is it MORE reasonable to say, "Obviously (despite the secret) OP has had numerous problems with their BF and this is the final straw" as opposed to, "OP cites this is the ONLY reason they want to break up so that must be the reason."

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but

... because it's a lot more reasonable and rational to assume that OP might be unable or unwilling to sum up the entirety of their relationship and all its weaknesses and strengths in a secret?

You seem like you're bringing some baggage to this discussion and it's not like you to be so... er, I don't know... vehement and weird about it? Like this is a strange hill to die on, unless a Trekkie killed your whole family or something.

[(Anonymous)]

YES.

[kaijinscendre]

Okay. From now on I will be sure to create backstories for secret makers instead of just using their actual words.

[(Anonymous)]

Other anon was right. You're being pedantic to an absurd degree. I'm not sure why, but I hope it gets better for you.


P.S. If Trekkies did murder your whole family, I'm very sorry.

[kaijinscendre]

It is hard to be anything but pedantic when you are working with two sentences.

How else should I interpret, "My boyfriend...refused to watch even a single episode of ST:TNG with me. I'm seriously considering breaking up over this..." as anything but the refusal to watch a TV show is the reason for breaking up?

[(Anonymous)]

Not really? It just requires one to feel empathy and think critically.

The same way other people in this thread have been reading it in order to give OP the benefit of the doubt? I mean, there are no shortage of people who don't immediately take the most literal reading that can be taken and jump to calling the OP some kind of idiot monster.

[kaijinscendre]

I didn't call her an idiot (or a monster??). I said the reason was stupid. And I am taking OP at their word because their word is all I have.

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever heard the phrase "the straw that broke the camel's back", i.e. "the law straw"? The point of that saying isn't that a single straw is so heavy it broke the camel's back, the point is that it's the one tiny addition on top of everything else that did it.

Likewise, one incident may be the trigger for a break up, but it's not the whole and only reason for a break up. You have no idea what's going on in OP's life, but it's safe to assume it's possibly more complicated than two sentences. Yet you're determined that those two sentences ARE enough and you're equipped with everything you need to know in order to pass judgement. That's pretty bizarre, tbh.

[kaijinscendre]

I find it bizarre that people are creating this elaborate backstory for OP. But hey, this is a forum for people into fandom. And fandom loves creating their own AUs.

[(Anonymous)]

It's really not elaborate.

[(Anonymous)]

Not assuming the secret tells the whole story is an elaborate backstory now? LOL...

Look, I feel a little guilty for laughing, because it seems like you're not in a good place mentally at the moment. But seriously, you're going after this like a rabid pit bull and it's really, really weird. Do you know the OP, or suspect that you do? This reeks of a personal grudge, you're being so freaky about it.

[kaijinscendre]

Lol, no. I don't know anyone on F!S in real life. I just think it is funny people are reading so much into this secret and getting so protective over the secret maker.

For the record, I am going with the soldat's version of events because it is my favorite. OP is a meanie who is trying to force her BF to watch things he doesn't want to as some kind of twisted powerplay.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay. Still weird you seem to be getting off on this, but I guess YKINMK.

[kaijinscendre]

First I was angry, now I am getting off on it? Make up your mind!

DA

[(Anonymous)]

Lol Kaijinscendre, I'm starting to suspect that you're arguing with the OP.

Re: DA

[kaijinscendre]

Then they should tell me if this is the only reason. D:

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, this sums things up perfectly.

[(Anonymous)]

What kind of baggage could they possibly bring to the discussion, I mean other then when some asshole completely disregarded their feelings and forced them to watch something they didn't want to?

But bless you for being so fucking hilarious, treating Kaijin like they must have been traumatized to have a different opinion than yours.
