Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make

Right now, I'm really enjoying my fandoms and getting into new series. I'm active in creating content alone as well as collaborating with others and it's been so fun to be able to express love for my favorite ships and characters with other people on various social media platforms. That's not the secret.

I also stop to read drama posts from BNF's who feel the need to "fight back" against haters of their favorite ship, even though they could just as easily ignore it. I come back here every few years or so, or whenever I remember this place exists, as a kind of litmus test for changing opinions on fandom in general over time. I also come for any drama, troll posts and anything that might insight the old guard. I feel like at this point, it's easy for me to focus on the positive aspects of fandom, but like watching a train wreck in slow motion, I also get a lot of enjoyment out of seeing people tear each other to pieces over what amounts to imaginary characters that really have very little impact on the real world aside from their own internal turmoil.

I'm not sure if that makes me a troll or not, and I don't really care.

Yes it makes you a troll and also an awful person. Get a life.

I don't think it makes you a troll, and I'm one of the people who was duking it out in comment six today.

The fighting didn't bother me, because I'm confident in my stance. So I'm not sure why being observed fighting would bother me. And it sounds like most of the time, the people whose wank you're spectating don't even know you're there. So really, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. The world is so full of these horrible, unwinnable fights that are incredibly consequential. So in a way, it makes sense to find minor, inconsequential fights comforting.
