(Anonymous) 2008-08-11 03:17 am (UTC)(link)Actually, it does. That's how fandom butterflies work - they come in for the pretty, then leave when something prettier comes along. If you can be laid back about it, more power to you, but I find that kind of behavior insulting to the source material. I have grown up with Batman, and Batman is something I take seriously, and to see people come in with comments like WHY WOULD RACHEL DUMP BRUCE OMG HE'S SO HAWT!!!!!13212!!!!! means that they don't care enough about Batman to understand the risks that a relationship with Bruce Wayne would bring into one's life. Why should I welcome these people into my fandom?

Your complaint seemed more general than twelve-year-old teeny-boppers who don't get the character because they're too busy saying that Bale is too hawt to break up with, and my response certaintly had nothing to do with them in particular. I said that people finding the Joker hot and being excited about the new movie and him do not depreciate the fandom any more than typical fanboys/girls getting a treat by whatever Taila is or isn't wearing this week.
The fandom butterflies are annoying. But the reaction is bugging me more because now it seems like if you dare to comment on the Joker being dead sexy in the movie, gasp! You're a tweeny loser who has no respect for the source material or whatever.
To be honest, in any fandom I've been in, it's the elitist people who feel like they should be able to judge who can and can't come into their fandom that detract from the experience far more than the quick flurry of fluffs. I mean, heck, I'm in Doctor Who fandom, and I'll say straight up, I would rather wade through a sea of the pinkest, fluffiest Wose/Doctah=Twu Wuv!!!111!! fans than deal with one grumpy fan ranting about how much they suck.

(Anonymous) 2008-08-12 12:40 am (UTC)(link)I have no problem with people who comment on the attractiveness of the cast. It's when the new fans do ONLY that and don't bother to get into the fandom beyond the one movie with the SEXY ACTORS and yet talk about Batman as a whole (as opposed to Batman as he pertains to the Nolanverse) as though they are experts on the subject that they become incredibly annoying.
I would rather wade through a sea of the pinkest, fluffiest Wose/Doctah=Twu Wuv!!!111!! fans than deal with one grumpy fan ranting about how much they suck.
Then you're enjoying a lower quality of happiness in the fandom, tbh. Oh well.

I have no choice but to quote the Doctor:
"And with that sentence, you just lost the right to even talk to me."
Really? Really? You feel that you have the right to judge the quality of another person's happiness? You feel that's even possible, "tbh"? Oh, honey, you just lost every leg you stood on.
And if you honestly think that being around someone spewing vitriol about how much they hate "person/fan/character/writer" every time they talk about the fandom and the many ways they want them to die is the "higher quality of happiness in fandom"...you have some serious, serious issues.
