Transcript from OP

[personal profile] fscom 2018-02-03 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
In Watchmen fandom I shook my head at the Rorchach-fangirls.
I wasn't even in the Batman fandom, and I had an opinion about Joker-fangirls.
I liked Loki as a character, but I was not a Loki-fangirl.

You know where this is going, right?
Yeah. I'm totally fangirling the current Trash Lord Kylo Ren. Oops?

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
I don't care who you fangirl. Just don't be a dumbass about it.

Rorschach's a good example actually. There's nothing wrong with fangirling Rorschach. But there is something wrong with pretending that Rorschach is something that he's not. Because Rorschach is a very specific character, who is very fucked up, and also plays a specific part in Watchmen. And if you erase all of that to turn him into a badass hero and/or woobie, then I think you have gone too far. It's not the fangirling that's the problem, it's the bad interpretation and revionism.

That's how I feel about it.

There is nothing wrong with pretending whatever you like. That's what fandom is all about.

There is nothing wrong with AUs and fanfic.

There is something wrong with arguing that it's a supported, valid interpretation of the text when the text doesn't actually support it.

Or, if not wrong, at least incorrect.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Incorrect" is much better.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
I don't even watch SW, and I fangirl the hell outta him. Like, all it took was the interrogation clip.

I don't look down on people who like Joker but characters like that still don't appeal to me at all. Kylo is the first villain that I've really liked but I do hope he gets redemption in the end. I think the possibility might be a part of why he's appealing to me. I do like Adam Driver though.

If I had to rank them from least to most irredeemable shitheads, it would go Rorschach, Loki, Kylo Ren, Joker. Rorschach would be the one I’d least be worried might kill me, but they’re all insane. Rorschach has an extremely twisted-but-inflexible moral code, Loki gives no shits about people that aren’t his family and has a fucked up relationship with them as well, Kylo Ren gives no fucks about anything but being a bigger Evil Overlord than his grandpa, and 80s-and-onward Joker would murder all of them because it was funny.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Christ I dislike all of the above, but at least Loki and Rorschach were kind of attractive, but Kylo looks like the product of centuries of incest.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
...Rorschach is at least as questionable as Kylo, there is no logic there. It's all down to taste.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Rorschach has his own code that he sticks to pretty darn strictly--willing to die for it and all. I get why Kylo has fans, hey, I think he's pretty too! But he went from kill Rey to on Rey's side, from all about the overlord to killing the overlord. Makes him seem a ...tad inconsistent to me. So far I wouldn't trust him with anyone but Rey and that's mostly because she is fully capable of deflecting his attempts to kill her.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Man I don't find him attractive, or even all that appealing as a character, but I've had way too many questionable trashlord crushes to judge Kylo fangirls tbh. (Loki is the only one on your list, though, lol. Never understood the Joker thing.)

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! He is really unattractive!

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, seriously. I don't get the obsession over him.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-03 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Bitch, me too. The fuck.

I'm usually all about the villains but simply can't get Kylo for some reason.

But seeing as I'm almost a life-long Joker fan (since BTAS, but it's two for one as I also love Batman) and MCU Loki is one of my favourites in that particular universe...I know how it feels to feel like everyone who is a fan is being judged as one of the crazies. So I take the "you do you" attitude in most cases. I personally try to avoid reading it as much as possible but I'm even ok with people having their wildly OOC Mary Sue fantasies so long as they don't start acting like it's definitely canon and attacking anyone who doesn't agree. Then again I'm also "why?" about people who spend more time trying to wind-up fangirls than enjoying their own stuff. Maybe I'm too old/laid back for this shit. Idk.

Basically...enjoy OP!

That's what you get for being a snob about other fans.

Liking a villain has no correlation to morality. So either you'll either realize those "fangirls" aren't idiots and their taste had merit, or you'll either hate yourself, or you'll just think it's different when you like a villain. Cognitive dissonance is funny like that.
