(Anonymous) 2018-07-18 02:06 am (UTC)(link)It just sounds like you're making yourself miserable. I have tropes I don't like (and pairings and characters, etc.). I don't wish for them to disappear. Getting angry about it just diminishes my own joy, and why would I want to do that? Also, it gives the trope way more power over me if I seethe every time I see it instead of just scrolling past it. No big deal.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-18 02:18 am (UTC)(link)there's tons of stuff in fandom I don't like that doesn't piss me off, because none of the three reasons I mentioned apply. I'm not MAKING myself mad about ABO, but I am bitter because its prevalence has ruined my ability to enjoy several things I DO like, and I still can't get away from it without, like...never searching for porn in big fandoms again.
Which I have mostly stopped doing, actually. But it still pops up, like on my tumblr dash because I'm following an author who's other stuff I like, and I am reminded of my bitterness. I cannot express to you how completely I am not expending deliberate energy "being angry" or having a hate-dom or whatever. I scroll. I scroll and scroll and scroll and eventually leave fandoms for other fandoms where I have to scroll less, and then scroll there too.
I'm not saying anyone else should stop liking what they like or not be allowed to enjoy it. But damn I'd love if everyone got over this meme of "literally ever being angry because you can't stand a nigh unavoidable popular thing is ~your own fault~ and ~why do it to yourself~." It's super condescending and also completely misses the point.
