101) So why is it that your brother has a right to express his opinion and enjoy the shows he likes but you don't? Consider this good practice for life, because people will totally disrespect you and walk all over you if you don't protest it, and that's a guaranteed way to be miserable. Watch the show you like and your bro can go somewhere else if he doesn't want to watch. And if he wants to tell you how stupid your preference is, just tell him to STFU.

111) Um... or more likely she could be desperately (and apparently futilely) telling you to back off. Sometimes it's hard to see when you are getting obnoxious with your shippiness, and even the possibility of it can evoke bad memories in a friend who has just had enough. If she really hates the pairing, you are actively excludingher from the conversation and driving her away every time you bring it up. Try consistently avoiding the topic of Janto when she's around and maybe she'll start to trust that you can talk about Torchwood without disrespecting her feelings.

114) If you're a lesbian, you're a lesbian. I don't know how much flack you'll get from your family/church/etc, but no good comes from lying to yourself about it. Though if your only evidence for being a lesbian is liking girlie-guys, eh, you sound pretty het to me. I like my women to look like women and my men to look like men, and have little attraction to androgynous people, so it's really a taste thing, rather than an orientation thing.

127) Once I heard that Shyamalon was directing, I gave up hope of it being good. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I kinda doubt it. Avatar isn't supposed to be a horror film, but I just can't see Shymalon not putting in some of his trademark (and wholly inappropriate) flourishes.

127: Aang can see dead people, set up all the events and it all happens in modern day. WHAT A TWIST!

Aang CAN see dead people.

Not the OP, but I really don't think you know who 111 is about. That's not it at all. And she's definitely not in a place to be demanding her feelings to be respected, as she rarely respects other peoples' feelings, not to mention any of their opinions which do not align with her own.

[identity profile] velvet-mace.livejournal.com 2008-12-25 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
You know the OP? Because the way this is written it sounds a lot like what I've been though.

I've been in a similar situation: Had a friend who was always on about her pairing no matter who was around and drove people out of the chatroom whenever a fandom came up. I've had other friends who couldn't stand a pairing, and yet had people constantly talking about it around her. It's no fun.

For me the key word is that whenever Torchwood shows up she says this -- not Janto. That means that this isn't a fandom forum -- this is a chat room or some neutral forum where she might be able to expect to get away from Janto. If this were the torchwood forum, torchwood would always be the topic.

try this (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/229578.html?thread=100353994#t100353994)

Don't know who they are talking about. Do know where or to whom this person is making her complaints. Don't see anyone identifying herself as the OP admitting that this is the person they are talking about.

I'm only reacting to what the OP posted.

OP

(Anonymous) 2008-12-25 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I did respond and agree.

(Anonymous) 2008-12-25 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
I totally know what you're talking about with people being obnoxious about their shipping, but this really isn't the case.

It's kind of like this:

Random person: Did you see Torchwood today.
The person whom this secret is about: Thoughts on yaoi how much she hates Jack/Ianto.

It's basically shipper obnoxiousness taken to the OTHER extreme.


P.S. Not OP, but have observed this.

[identity profile] velvet-mace.livejournal.com 2008-12-25 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
She's doing this in her friend's personal LJs? That is obnoxious. Someone should tell her to rant in her own LJ.

(Anonymous) 2008-12-25 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
(Also not OP.)

I couldn't say whether she's doing it in others' personal journals, but she's been doing it in various communities for the past couple months, to the point where it's just gotten to be annoying. She does rant in her own journal; the problem is that she insists on ranting everywhere else too.

[identity profile] velvet-mace.livejournal.com 2008-12-25 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Inviting herself into other people's threads to post an off topic rant (and honestly, it doesn't matter what the off topic rant is) is just pure wankery. I was thrown by the fact that the OP mentioned that the subject was Torchwood, so I assumed this was happening in non-fandom or multi-fandom forums rather than just on Torchwood communities.

But while I'm in the torchwood fandom, I'm not that deeply into it. I've never encountered this person. Maybe I should be grateful.

I wouldn't make the assumption that she likes the pairing, but I would make the assumption that she thinks strangers care that she doesn't. That's pure fanbrat logic.

OP here

(Anonymous) 2008-12-25 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just starting to get into the Torchwood fandom, and I've seen her an annoying amount constantly mentioning how much she hates J/I. Even bragging about the existence badfic like that proves her point or something.

I've no problem with her not shipping it, I just wish she'd shut up.

Re: OP here

[identity profile] velvet-mace.livejournal.com 2008-12-25 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Well here's to hoping she sees this and gets the hint.

Sorry about earlier. I assumed this was a chat room problem. Dynamics among friends in a chatroom are very different from those among strangers in fandom community.

*crosses fingers*

It's cool, I understand what you meant.
