Re: 126 & 167
(Anonymous) 2008-09-22 05:10 am (UTC)(link)I think I have as much of a right to rant as much as those who ship people constantly. I know it's not going to stop anyone, people can do what they want to do, but you know...it would be nice to just let out your dislike for something EVERYONE LOVES and maybe find some people who feel the same way.
If I held it all in I'd just end up being even more hateful towards others who I can't disagree with because I'd hurt their precious feelings.
Re: 126 & 167
I don't remember saying that people couldn't rant. The only thing I continue to be frustrated about is that if i don't specifically hate slash, then automatically I have yaoi glasses and I'm ruining fandom for everyone. Personally I have more fun in fandom when I concentrate on the things I like and ignore the things I don't like. Ranting almost never makes me feel better. My "precious feelings" haven't been hurt. I'm more sort of mystified that you and this other anonymouse are arguing with me about things I haven't said, and putting me in the place for all slashers when I haven't said anything that was particularly defensive of slash in these comments.
If there's anything that frustrates me, it's that I could have written 37 het stories and one slash story, and I get chucked in the bin with "those that go a little crazy" or "people with yaoi glasses." And I'm just left wondering if all of this is necessary.
Also, everyone doesn't love slash. Most fandoms are mostly made of het shippers, but slashers happen to congregate on LJ. I'm sorry you feel surrounded by slashers, but you know, maybe you need to build a different flist.
Re: 126 & 167
(Anonymous) 2008-09-22 06:00 am (UTC)(link)My point is just that sometimes its good for some people to rant and just let it all out (isn't that what having a lj is for? I wouldn't know lol, I found this place out from a friend). It may not be your thing, but its hard for some people (lol me) to ignore certain things they see and it drives them bonkers.
It's hard being a hetro/just friends (applies to hetro too) shipper too ya know (not that you aren't, I wont assume what you ship or don't ship). I try to like yaoi and yuri but its not my thing, and I get the feeling that people are lumping me with OMG GAY BASHERS. Batshit hetro fans piss me off too (hello twilight fans) and I have friends who ship yaoi couples (I love em to death <3 so I don't want to "un friend" them), but sometimes I feel out of place and its frustrating as hell.
So if someone who wants to make a secret ranting about that (or if they're a yaoi fan that feels out of place) isn't this the right place to do it? I'm tired of seeing people who have a different opinion being told, "OMG UR IGNORANT HOW DARE U! SHIPPING IS ALL THAT MATTERS, FRIENDSHIP ISN'T TRU WOV!!!..." without thinking about being in their shoes.
ANYWAYS tl;dr: ...It really doesn't have much to to with your original comment lol, but my point is this. Some people just have different opinions and people around here should respect that.
Anyhow, I don't mean any harm to you and I'm sorry if I came across that way. No hard feelings?
