Do you mean you're coming down against antis or you're on their side?

[(Anonymous)]

Ew.

[(Anonymous)]

So you agree with antis out of spite? Mmkay.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like I need the specifics on the situation to really understand this secret.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? Even in really obvious cases of sexism/misogyny or toxic masculinity?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say exactly, some of the wording is confusing.

But I have recently had experience in fandom with fans who were so pro one specific character, they were seemingly anti everything and everyone else? And I understand where they're coming from, he is underappreciated by more casual audiences even though he's a great character. And he's black so obviously fandom's issues with racism come into play. I get why fans would get defensive. But they are so intense I had to take a step back from the fandom since they were making me start to dislike him.

Like, most people ship this character A with B. But it's only allowed(?) if the fic doesn't have x or y, and it has to include z. Fics with a focus on B definitely have to fit these rules. I don't think I've ever seen headcanons or discussions for B. And OMG, if you've ever shipped B/C, you're obviously an imposter. A/C is fine though. Obviously.

The only time I was defensive was people completely erasing the nuance of a character. I'm tired of everyone washing away the shades of gray that make things interesting.

I wouldn’t say I necessarily identified with the characters I defended. For instance, Ron Weasley from Harry Potter—-I have no personal experience with poverty. I just didn’t think the attacks people made matched up with the character’s traits from the source material.

If you meet one asshole and it ruins your day, that's too bad.

If you run into nothing but assholes all day every day, chances are it's you that's the asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

Identification with a character is something that can trigger the desire to defend. But I think a lot of people also will fervidly defend a character if there is the implication (or perceived implication) that they are wrong or weird for liking that character.

There is a difference between 'Character A isn't for me' and 'People who like Character A must be into toxic relationships' or 'Why would anyone like Character A?'.

[(Anonymous)]

So do you also come down hard on the side of the police because some members of the BLM movement are assholes with shit takes?

[(Anonymous)]

You okay, OP?

Oof I've been there before. I usually hide my playlists by default after almost this exact thing happened in my fandom.

I mean, you don't necessarily have to get over it and appreciate the original. I can think of a handful of songs where I prefer a cover version to the original. It happens.

Don't let it stop you, nonny! I'm no great shakes at making secrets either, but I decided to try because the community was getting a little quiet and low traffic. I'd been mostly a lurker until that point, but I just wanted to help. Others recommended these editing sites:

Google image search for the pics, filter for size to get a nice big picture.

Analog Clocks

[(Anonymous)]

What are your thoughts on it?

I'm writing background stuff on a fic and I began wondering if learning how to read alalog clocks was still taught in schools. And then I fell into a bit of a rabbit hole.

Read that some people say 1st/2nd grade students aren't prepared to learn something so complex. Some say it's not needed anymore. Others say it's a task that can be useful in math and for visual learners. Not all places have digital clocks so it wouldn't hurt to learn.

Personally, I'm in my mid 30s and I recall LOVING learning how to read analog clocks in 2nd grade. I don't think it's that hard of a skill to pick up but I do realize my experience/worldview isn't like everyone else's. I think we should all learn it, though if someone really struggles to learn it, I wouldn't push it onto them.
