Why would you assume people are just whining and they're going to see the movie? They're saying this is a bad thing and why, writing letters to make it known they think it's a bad idea, and not seeing the movie. As opposed to just not seeing the movie but never suggesting that could be the reason why.

Also, this goes beyond preserving somebody's personal experience of the original work.

Because a lot of people do that exact same thing. They whine on the internet, and then they don't do shit. Whining on the internet =/= complaining directly to the source; and sporadic letters =/= an organized petition to make their points clear.

And the "preserving personal experience" is the bonus you get in addition, so that at least *something* good has come out of it. It's an optimist's point of view.

But what's going on in the Avatar fandom--that the OP seems to be complaining about--IS complaining to the source! A letter writing campaign is more effective than a petition. The whole point is making the issue clear to the source. That people are also discussing the problem in their journals, and maybe explaining the problem to people who didn't originally understand, is also a plus.

The only thing the secret-maker mentions about the letter-writing campagin is people who go, "I've written my letter, so I can complain all I want, 'cause I'm actually doing something!" Which, honestly, is no different than the original ranting on the internet, except that it's got an air of self-righteousness to it.

(sigh) You know, there are days when I feel really alone being the only person on F!S who doesn't assume the worst about secret-makers...

When people are agitated, they bitch. Deal with it. And there's nothing self-righteous about being proud to have done a good deed.

Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but you have strange priorities.

You know, there are days when I feel really alone being the only person on F!S who doesn't assume the worst about secret-makers...

Here is the thing, even if the secret maker had the best intentions in submitting their secret they are still by the wording of their secret implying that people who complain or write letter that they are basically being useless and they should just shut up and reducing legitimate complaints and conversations about the topic to just "whining". People can say hurtful/racist without meaning to, but just because they don't mean to, doesn't mean that what they are saying isn't hurtful or demeaning or patronizing. It is one thing to say that people should not be insulting the OP, it is another to say that their intentions or whatever exonerates them of being criticized for what they said.

This doesn't even go into the fact that people can talk about whatever they want in their journals, and if they want to complain and bitch and moan and whatever they can, if someone doesn't like it they can avoid those entries or defriend the person entirely.
