*rolls eyes*
Tell me, o super-wise one, how are they 'so American', and why do you care if I or anyone else likes them, and why is this supposed 'Americanism' such a big deal?
Please explain, since you obviously really wanna go off about it.

(Anonymous) 2021-04-15 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)Then when I didn't, 'how typical'.
Yeah okay. Whatever. You didn't want to know, I'm not going to be wasting my time.
Re: All time favorite recs thread
Why make the comment in the first place if you didn't want to explain just exactly how terrible the stories are? (Or how terrible Americans are or whatever your point is).
Why bother, out of all the recs, to pick out *just one* and say something nasty about it? What are you trying to prove? What's the point? I saw a rec in this thread of a story that I loathe and will never, ever read again, but oddly, I didn't feel the need to make a pointed comment to the person who really likes it about how awful it is.

(Anonymous) 2021-04-15 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)'Ignorance is bliss' was not intended as an insult. After the last year and a half it's a heartfelt statement.
You didn't ask, you said 'o tell me wise one' or some such sarky bollocks, which is internet for 'i want a fight', and I'm just really not up for that. It's been a fucking awful day.
The reason I mentioned Astolat's drarry was because it's so ooc for her to miss the mark. Hell she even nailed Patrick O'Brien's style while writing mpreg. Also if I was reading an American fandom written by a Brit and an American told me it was culturally skewiff, I'd find that incredibly interesting and want to know more because that's the kind of stuff you just don't find out unless a native tells you. You weren't interested, the you wanted a fight. Not sure what else you expected?
Re: All time favorite recs thread
Sorry if you think that's polite chit-chat. To me, it's a way to poke at someone, try to make them feel small, and try to make yourself feel bigger.
You're Anon - i haven't the slightest idea if you're a Brit, an American, or a Martian, just that you felt the burning need to say 'hey, your rec sucks'.
I expected someone who was that insistent that their opinion be aired to go on and explain, because then at least there would have been a point to the original comment, but no - you backed out 'cause i didn't ask with the appropriate delight, awe, and humble anticipation, or something.
You go on and enjoy your day, I'm going to re-read some fics I enjoy and possibly, because why not, revel in the 'Americanness' (wtf that means) of them.
Ta ta.
