114 People LOVE living vicariously through characters that do whatever they want, and behave as though they don't care what other people think. It's really clear from the way so many people talk about power, and the silly things that get put here on f!s (really? your flist would be mad if you said you liked that?) and the popularity of anon memes that a lot of people feel very trapped by fear of other people's opinions and feel there are many things they want to do but can't. Personally, I don't feel that way at all, and I also refuse to have toxic people like that in my life or even on my TV screen.
(Sorry Ryan, but I won't be watching your reality shows. Luv ya.)
120 That's really unfortunate! I feel the opposite (despite my frustration last night with that condescending Heroes secret person). It's a great place to go when fandom hegemony gets you down and you realize that there is so much diversity of opinion, that you aren't the only one who likes that rare pairing or rare fandom. The troll stuff, to be honest, I pretty much ignore.
129 Yeah, that isn't why. It isn't elitist to know more. It's elitist to feel that the people who know less have no business being in the fandom, and it's elitist to think of yourself as the person (or group) who gets to decide who can be in fandom and who can't. This is a huge reason why I've never seen the LotR movies—the fandom is so elitist about the books and guess what? I'm never going to read those books. Elitism doesn't just keep away the plebes; it also keeps away people who just like a canon but aren't interested in memorizing every second of it. It's certainly kept me out of the fandoms for things I enjoy watching.
175 Now I want someone to save the world with buttered toast.
179 I feel you hard core. I often ship smaller ships and if I put another ship in the background of a story, or write a drabble or a birthday fic for someone, you never hear the end of it. It's REALLY frustrating.
