123, 136, 144, 147, 159, 160, 170
123 Why do some of you insist that people are stupid and ill-educated just because they like their show's stars and find them attractive (not JUST physically, but intellectually, too--like, you know, as the people they really are IRL)? I grant you the mindless squee is irritating, but not all of them are like that, and the cross-pollination of mindsets is starting to really get old. Not all squee is mindless, just because we term it as squee.
Oh, and PLEASE, PLEASE come and bitch at me for generalizing because I'm responding to your generalization of 'I can't help but wonder how WELL EDUCATED the people involved in fandoms REALLY ARE.'
This whole secret reeks of self-hatred, to me. You're 'revolted,' you refer to all fandoms and all people who participate in them, yet you cling to the hope that there are other people out there (like me, incidentally) who don't see fandom as solely about objectifying the source material. Make up your mind? Clarify your language? Something?
136 It's fair to say that true talent can be overlooked if the material it is producing hits trigger issues for people. I am confused about this secret, though--are you condemning people for not sitting through being preached at because the preaching is presented by talented musicians? I would equally avoid other trigger issues like rape or child abuse if that's what they were singing about.
Just because religion is an acceptable topic for performance material doesn't mean it's something everyone is equally interested in, not does it mean there's something fundamentally (lol) wrong with the people who aren't interested.
144 That video is such a revelation. Christopher Walken for the FUCKING WIN.
147 OH MY EYES! I would bet money that, had he known media would be so widely accessible someday, he'd never have put that shit on. That is seriously, seriously disturbing.
159 I agree that they look alike. I have a friend IRL who looks almost exactly like Donna and it really, really freaks me out...
160 I think a strong case can be made that the word 'fan' has been softened and appropriated by the masses to such a degree that the connotation is simply that of 'someone who likes the material,' rather than 'someone who is radically interested in the material.'
170 RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! It's even more 'renovated room' in person. God, that man is so amazing in every way, not just physically...
Re: 123, 136, 144, 147, 159, 160, 170
#123 wtf is that about? totally agree with you on this one, and of course on #170 :D
