106. OK, I'll admit that I sympathize. I haven't exactly gone so far as to call people out on their bullshit, but there have been times where I got people angry over stupid stuff, or there have been times where I realized so-called "friends" where complete self-absorbed assholes with whom I didn't want to associate anymore. It's rough seeing these things all the fucking time -- perhaps not to the extent you have, OP, but it's still rough. One of the myriad reasons why I like lurking rather than being more active. Then again, one of the hallmarks of any fandom is, to one extent or another, shallowness -- just look at a typical day here on [livejournal.com profile] fandomsecrets, what with all the "I'd hit it" or "I ship it" secrets. I'm not implying shallowness is necessarily a bad thing -- I take more of a "live and let live" mentality on that -- but a lot of times it just goes too far. Not to mention some people (not all) are in fandom because they otherwise don't know how to act IRL and are trying to make friends based on shared interests and jumping through hoops just to get noticed (which sometimes is the case with some fanart and fanfiction). All that shit you mentioned is bound to happen in one way or another, everywhere you look. And you know what? I think it's commendable that you're calling people out. Somebody's gotta.

There are, however, two things I'd like to point out. One, please be careful on how you come across. If people are hating you, it may not be because you called them out, but how you did it. If you were insulting, condescending, spiteful, etc., you just gave them good reason to hate you. If you're going to do this, try to be more careful, OK? And two, sometimes it isn't worth getting worked up over. I hate to say it, but most people never really change, they just become more and more convoluted. You may want to pick and choose your battles. If you find yourself in a situation you know you can't influence one way or another, it may make you end up looking like a fool. Don't fight what you see as wrong just because you're venting IRL frustrations; do it if you're absolutely certain you can make a difference. Best of luck to you. :-)

113. Agreed.

120. Oh god, I know. :(

133. I like how you designed this secret. ;-)

152. I'm pretty much the same way. After a while, for many people like myself, porn just gets old. If I'm in the mood, I'll enjoy it once in a while, but most of the time I'm looking for halfway-decent writing, well-formed plots, and strong characterizations. And when pretty much everything in your fandom of choice is PWP, it gets very frustrating very, very quickly. And word about feeling like the only one who doesn't give two shits about teh pr0nz. D:

OP PLEASE READ AND PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. It is the truth.
