wait I have no idea what you were even trying to show me.

Too bad, because what you've shown me is that LJ Gaiman fans can be as annoying as the ones I know IRL.

You don't like Neil Gaiman, then don't read his stuff and don't go into his fandom.

Read his stuff, decided I didn't like them. Oh noes?

if you're basing your entire opinion of him on Sandman.

Where does it state this? I've read all his stuff, I used to find them tolerable until some people spoiled them for me for thinking they're deep.

then you're being a kind of presumptuous brat to hate all his stuff to the extent that you trash on his fans. Maybe grow up a little?

Isn't the whole point of Fandom Secrets an outlet to state unpopular opinions like mine? How is that immature? You're taking a jpeg image too seriously.

I'm sorry if I misread. If you do know annoying fans, ones that won't shut up about something, yes, I can see why that annoys you. And if you tried his stuff, and didn't like it, I don't care that you don't like it. Some people don't. If everyone liked the same things, it'd be boring. But even looking at your secret again, the entirety of what you said was "Sandman sux and Neil Gaiman is so overrated, Gaiman fans are so annoying!" So yes, as a Gaiman fan, I resent being called annoying simply because I enjoy someone's books, when the only example you're giving is Sandman- which, as I understand, is one of his more "love it or hate it" things. It came across as mockery for fans of an author simply because you don't like one of his series.

That said, my points remain the same. I didn't know what you were trying to say with that secret, because you didn't state clearly what you really meant. Now that you've clarified, I do know. If it had been a simple matter of you not liking Neil Gaiman and therefore deciding all of his fans sucked because he's "so overrated" (which IS what it sounded like), then my advice to just leave his stuff alone and be nice enough to leave his fans alone would still stand. And since your secret literally read, "His fans are annoying, I hate this series, he's overrated," it might have been a leap to assume you'd only read Sandman, but it wasn't much of one- and notice I said if there, because I wasn't completely sure. That paragraph really only applies if you had been doing that. And I stand by the belief that doing that- only trying Sandman, then deciding all of his stuff sucks to the point of hating his fans- would have been presumptuous and immature.

As it is, I hope you get where I was coming from? And I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions, but it seems the secret you stated is actually pretty different from the secret you wanted to state. The fans you know were way too pushy and overblown about it and spoiled what little enjoyment you might have gotten out of his works, and you find him overrated- and that's okay. I sincerely hope that the fanbrats, not just of his but of every series, calm the heck down around you.

(Also, you may have noticed, I tend to tl;dr when I have a major opinion about something- it's really not because I'm a Gaiman fan, I do this to every series every once in a while- it's because I fail like that. ;;)
