It's not that there's anything wrong with throwing out ideas, especially if you'd love for someone else to write it or you just know you'll never write it yourself but honestly yes, I'd still sometimes hate them, because they would still be a way to get the same level of back pats as writing an actual story by doing none of the really challenging parts of writing, often being congratulated for a novel idea that an actual writer also had but didn't condense quickly into a shittily written post.

There's also the fact that a huge proportion of "imagine" prompts are self-insert ones you can't avoid, and sorry to those who like them but they make me cringe.

Yeah, the only imagines I see are self-inserts, not what this secret is referring to, which seems like plotbunnies to me.

Maybe it's different across fandoms?

So the problem isn't the imagines, the problem is how much of an egoboost people get for writing them?

Kinda. I realize it's petty and crotchety, but it's a reminder of how a lot of the stuff that is more visual or friendly to the short form of tumblr is what fandom just is for some people now, so that's the kind of effort that gets rewarded.
