101. Intrigued!fan is intrigued. I will never understand why fandom freaks out over the idea of new fans or new pairings coming in, argh.

103. ... I think I love you for the existance of this secret. *-* ♥♥♥

That said, the book makes it clearer why they should not have been. I just wish Eponine could have done something more with her life besides pining after Marius and knowing he would never love her. Bah. ):

104. FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE COME ON. A ship does not have to be canon, or even have any real chance of being canon, to exist! And guess what? There is batshit crazy on both sides. Always.

If you're a troll, which I'm hoping you are: disregard that, I suck cocks. :B

106 & 107: "I have no idea why/I don't get why..." Because other people have different opinions than you. I- I don't understand how anyone can have a particular opinion on something and honestly not be able to figure out how some people can possibly disagree with them. Whut. It doesn't even effect you, so... why worry? o_o

109. I don't even know who they are! 8D

111. That's the good thing about fandom: you get the good and the bad, you just have to try to ignore the bad (because, hey, who does it really hurt? annoying as fuck sometimes, yeah, but...) and even a mild infusion of good into a fandom is a pretty awesome thing. |D

112. Can we make jokes about it and still take it seriously? Because it's pretty fuckin' laughable, I gotta say. o_o

113. I'm sorry!

115. I'm sorry if people are assholes to you about it? I honestly don't care if it's not your thing, as long as you're not being a jerk. Militant fans of anything suck.

116. With her views on women, motherhood, and How The World SHould Be, it depresses the shit out of me that that woman is a mother. It also depresses the shit out of me that that woman is a woman, but I (slightly) digress.

117. Um... we're not all like that. Why don't you try to find the few sane ones of us? We're hout here, I promise! The batshit ones are just oh so much... louder. ;;;;;

122. Awwww, don't worry about it! >: If it helps think of RP as like... interactive fanfiction. Instead of writing for every character and knowing every direction in which the story will go, how every character will react, etc, you only really know things for and have control over YOUR character(s). IT'S A BLAST, BELIEVE ME. Ask a few of your fandom friends about any places they know that are good, friendly RPing environments, and just jump in to have fun! ♥

124. Why would that piss you off? They're not spending money on pixels, they're spending money on a hobby they enjoy -- or, in this case, more accurately, they're spending money ON YOU on a hobby YOU enjoy. Want to get pissed off because someone buys you paid time? Better keep in mind that under that logic, you should get pissed off whenever anybody gets you a little gift they think you'd like if it's not a Big Important Thing You Need. Sheesh.

126. ... OH GOD THAT CAP IS AWESOME. Does anyone have a link to the full-size shot? I WANT IT. XDDDD

128. I don't see why this is such a bad thing. ... and I also don't understand all the people I'm sure flipped out at you over this secret. The main reason people did stop with incestual relationships was because of how it fucked with genetics. Therefore, distant enough relatives (lol "kissing cousins") and closer relatives if both are male, or both are female, would not be a problem. However, even heterosexual incest wouldn't be a problem as long as pregnancy did not/could not result.

132. That class would be the best ever.

106 op

106. Right. Because of course there's no rhyme or reason to what people like!

Here are some examples of things that I loathe but understand

- Twilight is popular because it's pretty much a insert-yourself-here book! You get to be swept up in the arms of a dazzling possesive vampire!

- Harry Potter is popular because it opens up a world beyond ours vividly in a way that really hasn't been seen before.

- CSI is popular because people like murder mysteries!

- Chuck is popular because ? I don't understand why people can like such an unoriginal, predictable, and boring show.

You're the one being narrow minded here. The only possible reason you could imagine us not understanding is if we're so close minded we couldn't fathom being in someone elses shoes.

Re: 106 op

[identity profile] trustyoursins.livejournal.com 2008-10-18 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhhh, actually. You obviously can fathom being in someone else's shoes, but even right now, you're still pretty much stating your own opinions on why someone would like those things.

Twilight, Harry Potter, CSI, and Chuck are all popular for more than one reason. I doubt everyone that likes Twilight likes it because it's an "insert-yourself-here" book, though the ones that do have every right to like it for that reason. They may actually like the plot, or the characters, or the writing style, or go into reading about the relationship realizing that it's fucked up and enjoy it anyway in that regard. The reason you state is one of the main reasons so many people like Harry Potter, but other reasons may include being able to relate to the characters, or an actual interest in the plot more than its opening gimmick (opening up a world beyond our own in a new way). There are people who love CSI more for the characters than the murder mystery aspect, and obviously, the people who like Chuck do not find it to be unoriginal, predictable, and boring. Or maybe they do find it to be one or all of the above, but like it anyway, or like it for other reasons!

You might not be able to see why other people like something, but they obviously find something in it worth liking. Their reasoning may just mean that they disagree with you on some aspects of it! They don't find whatever-it-is to be unoriginal. They think it's exciting. They don't see the twists and turns. Or they do think it can drag and it's predictable, but the characters keep them tuning in/reading/what have you. Even if you can't put your finger on the reason, reasons exist.

Mostly I think secrets like this semi-bother me because it borders on saying "this is my opinion, which is right, so I can't understand all the wrong people!" And in the end, as I said, it doesn't actually matter if people like something that you dislike, or vice versa. People act like it's some huge important mystery and it's... really, really not.
