I don't know any BNF who bitched about being admired or liked, however a lot of fans are idiots who think that they can somehow 'get' something from these people by kissing their ass.

......AND ONCE AGAIN, A POINT DISPROVEN BY ITS OWN SENTENCE. (I'm different from all the other anons, btw, except for the other point-disproven one.)

Seriously, though, you're just doing damage to yourself by making bitchy posts like this. :/ I too personally know a few BNFs, some of which are INCREDIBLY nice, and I think the true difference between a nice BNF and a bitchy BNF? Is that the nice ones don't assume they are one.

You already broke that rule, unfortunately, and as someone who's been in your fandom for a while, you really... AREN'T such a big name fan. More like a medium name fan. And about fans? Dude. They love you. Appreciate it.

Le sigh.

I didn't really assume I was one to begin with as it is. I was talking from a generalized perspective here. Someone else referred to me as one in a previous post and maybe that's their opinion, personally I'm just a fan who's not even active in fandom these days as it is, so I really don't care either way.

I was stating this behaviour does in fact bug BNFs, however that doesn't mean they go around bitching and whining about everyone who likes them. I love 90% of my fans, but there are annoying people out there who do in fact bother us.

I'm sure you don't want to get dragged into a huge comment thread, given you already made clear you want this wankery to stop (and I'm a respectful wanker, so if you want this to stop, I will) so I'll make this short:

You made the case that BNFs have a lot of issues they have to deal with. Then, you presented some examples from your own fandom life to support that claim. Thus, you were implying you are a BNF.

I'll grant you that it's true about a small percentage of fans getting annoying, and if I were in your position, I'd probably feel the same way. However, I wouldn't talk about them being annoying publicly, or at least not so abrasively, but maybe I feel that way for the same reason I'm commenting anonymously. :/

I didn't want this to begin with. -_-

The example I was trying to make is we all have fans who are annoying, BNFs on a much larger scale. If mines are even a fraction of what they get it has to be annoying and yes some of the BNFs I am friends with do relay thist stuff back to me to support this. I wasn't implying I was a BNF. If I was, I wouldn't even know it because I am so clueless about fandom these days. In fact, as far as FFVII goes I'd rather not even be associated with it these days at all.

I've had a good deal of people in the past make my online life hell for dragging me into stuff I wasn't even connected to and I've heard some interesting rumours.

You needn't comment anonymously. I'm 90% sure who you are to begin with and it's your opinion and that's fine. This whole thing seems to be a lot of miscommunication from the start.

And, since I want to respect your wishes of not wanting to continue wankery, I shall bow out without any further retorts, even though I must say I wish to make them. :( ::Bows.::
