Re: 108
(Anonymous) 2008-09-02 02:19 am (UTC)(link)I don't care about new fans coming into MY fandoms. I'm not elitist about that sort of thing. Fandom doesn't belong to me. It doesn't owe me anything.
Things that are different and hard to deal with? The fanfic and general slash. Not only have the soldiers themselves been active in the fandom, but so have family members of the actors. When the fandom started, they used to join communities and read the posts. They replied to people, sent e-mails to fans. I hope they still aren't reading these things. I can't imagine how they would react.
Also, I've encountered a lot of self-proclaimed historians who act superior because they think they know so much more about BoB and war history. Except that most of them are wrong half of the time. And I don't think you have to know these things to enjoy BoB. I think you don't have the right to be a pompous ass about that knowledge, especially when you don't actually know anything.
See... My problem with the newer people I've encountered is the same problem you have with the person you perceive me to be. BoB fandom was never as elitist as it is now.
Re: 108
...Okay, I can see the problem you have now. Great... ...I think you just ruined fandom for me.
Never claimed to be a great historian, so meh. I can't tell you if I've met anyone like that either. Don't get around too much.
Re: 108
(Anonymous) 2008-09-02 06:06 am (UTC)(link)I just haven't been able to for a few years. But I'm an old curmudgeon.

Re: 108
(Anonymous) 2008-09-02 06:15 am (UTC)(link)I do admit that making such a general "I hate all new fans" statement was problematic. There are probably plenty of newer fans worth knowing.
Re: 108
I ended up leaving another fandom for similar reasons. I think I should just stay out of fandoms that involve real people. --;;;;
Re: 108
(Anonymous) 2008-09-02 06:25 am (UTC)(link)Maybe it's the idea of fandoms based on real people. I don't know.
Early on in BoB fandom, James Madio's mom was on every messageboard I joined. And a girl I knew ended up working on a project with Rick Warden, after seeing him on a messageboard. Guarnere e-mailed a few people I knew, just because he appreciated things they had said about him. I think it can be okay to have these people around, but it scares me at the same time.
