Oof, yeah, I can sympathize with your frustration over that. I can think of a few people in some of my fandoms who've acted that way, too.

(Anonymous) 2021-03-31 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes I worry that I'm too invested in fandom, and then I read secrets like this and think, "You know what? I'm okay, actually. I'm an appropriate amount of engaged here."

I've never understood people that do this tbh. If I like a character I like them for the flaws as well as their positive attributes, because that what makes them a well-rounded 'person' that I like, I genuinely cannot understand the fun of stripping one of my faves down to 'precious cinnamon roll uwu' and enjoying that. Some of my faves are dicks, and I like that about them.

Also I've seen it said online before but to paraphrase: if you keep calling every canon instance of a character doing things 'OOC' then perhaps you don't actually know or like that character as much as you think you do.

This is all too real. I have many old friends I don't do fannish things with anymore because I can't stand the fangirling. I'm not here to hate on all fangirling, but there comes a point where you might move on a little. Have your enthusiastic interests, but obsession? Yikes. That's never too healthy at any age, believe me as someone who experienced it for myself. I don't want to be that person again. I was very unhappy.

(Anonymous) 2021-03-31 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You gotta do what you gotta do to preserve your sanity, OP. I’ve had to cut ties with people like that before and it sucked because I just wanted them to go back to the way they were before obsessing over a character, but I got to a point where they were making me miserable and couldn’t wait around for them to see the light.

You just described a lot of circa-2004 Harry Potter fandomers.

IKR. Character songs are usually SO BAD but I just really enjoy listening to them and mentally point out to myself the different ways they fit the characters.

Uuuugh I know exactly the material you're talking about and yeah, it is frustrating how ti will dry up and flake even when you don't even touch it. Hopefuly this new dolls come with polyester or something that doesn't flake and fall because ugh hate when that happens.

The book sucks

(Anonymous) 2021-03-31 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I had to read it in high school. I know a lot of people who empathized with Holden.

For me, there was only one good part in the book, and I really wish the whole novel had been just that moment over and over.

Of course I'm talking about the half-page or so where the pimp beats him up.

A happy ending for that book would've seen the whiny little shit stepping in front of a speeding bus and catching that bumper.

Wait, I thought MPDG was more a male fantasy of how a dream woman should be and that was the issue? Maybe I misunderstood it all these years but I don’t see a problem with any of what you said for yourself. I thought the criticism of the trope was usually down to the character not feeling genuinely themselves, and more existing to serve a man’s (usually romantic) plot?

Just reading this secret brought back some old earworms...

Uh, thanks, nonny.

Is this about shipping? I can think of other kinds of subtext I personally could apply this complaint to, but not any I’ve seen anyone besides me complain about.

I agree on all counts. Also original WHF is way better than the new version.

Really it seems like it's a setting that has a lot of cool stuff but neither the fandom nor the creators are really interested in the same parts of it I am. And that's fine, just one of those things

i never liked angel in buffy. idk if i found his spinoff interesting, don't remember anymore.
when i rewatched buffy and i definitely noticed that it seemed like they were referencing a bunch of shit from his show during his cameo, but even that didn't really give me any urge to try it out.
