103. (facepalm) Sometimes I think the "fantasy" thing doesn't sink in as well as it should for some people... Or they act like it didn't in order to be asses. (twitch) I've got a few underage ships myself, but really...
For the record, I have no idea what's going on in that fandom, but I can take a guess from the comments. GRAH. There's so much wrong here, I could spit. Really, it's sex education's fault? Sounds like they didn't get any sex ed. Grrrrr. So. Much. GR. /political rants
111. 6 degrees of separation. ._.;;
118. Tell that to all the kids who were traumatized by Ol' Yeller or Bambi.
119. :o THIS FIC. GIVE ME. plz?
120. Tell them they're being assholes. You're not doing the sweet one any good by leaving her too, and if they're jerky enough to go for an easy target then they're not worth being friends with.
125. lol Nothing wrong there. All sorts of people like bad fic.
128. I wouldn't say "troll", but you are in the vast, vast minority my friend.
130. *SQUEE*
... Now I need to watch/read it again.
133. (facepalm) See, 128. This is a troll. Or someone with troll-level communication skills. Either/Or, it's sometimes hard to tell. Even reading his/her responses doesn't work to clarify, since trolls can backpedal to cause more wank.
Word for the OP: There's a difference between disliking a generalized something and insulting the fans of an entire medium. The first is stupid (as generalizations tend to be), but not going to get as much ZOMG RAGE. The second deserves every bit of rage it gets. If you really meant to attack anime fans... well, I think I'm justified in thinking you're something of an ass based on this evidence.
Also a note on prejudice: Yes, you know what? We all prejudge. Positively, negatively—whatever, we have expectation. It's human nature. But the trick is to move beyond that because it's almost guarantees that the prejudice person isn't treating the people they judged as an individual but as the cardboard cut-out they expect them to be. Even positive prejudices do damage. You seem to think "everyone does it" = "it's okay". Secret: It's not!
146. Okay, I sort of disagree on this one, because I don't go with the "if you X, I think badly of you" pattern. I'm all for the case-by-case basis and not pre-judging as best I can. But in this case, it's really hard not to, since I've found that I tend to have a poor opinion of anyone who's against equal marriage rights. (This is another one I'm fighting not to pre-judge. *sigh*) At the same time, I won't rule out that someone can be against those rights and still write slash without being a hypocrite. Hell, I know some LGBT people who are against marriage rights. That blows my mind. And if they can be against it...
157. DO IT. Seriously. There's nothing cowardly in having some privacy in your life, and if your parents won't respect that then you have to take steps. Think of it like buying a vibrator, but since they go through your stuff you have to get a lockbox. They don't really want to know, and you don't want to tell them because it's private. So it's really just for the best.
Also, keep in mind that it can be dangerous to have your RL identity and your fandom identity too closely tied. People have lost their jobs (or not gotten a job, or lost friends, or lost family) over what a boss has found in their blog.
My LJ, my personal e-mail, all of it: completely locked away from work and 90% of family. My work/family are generally cool with it, and it's still locked away.
165. If you're only doing it to help populate the fandom, clean it up (betas are love) and post under a new pseudonym. Or you can just admit that everyone gets better and post it as yourself anyways. Then take that feedback and learn from it. If no one posted bad fic ever, there'd be a lot fewer good writers out there now.
171. I.... okay. No words. Really no words. I'm not sure if this is attempted troll or just trying to be a different kind of Joker fangirl... It's the "like I wanted to be" that really disturbs me most, I think. Who wants to be a lunatic killer...
More to the point, who admits it on F!S?

Not to mention the whole diagnosis issue I saw several people point out. There's such a slim chance that this one's real it's sad. (Wait, am I think? NOOOOO— *explodes*)
