IME, this is depressingly common over on Reddit. Except that the person trashing the thing probably does think you're trash for liking it. r/movies and r/television have too many users who think that liking (and hating) the right movies or television is a mark of intelligence.

I would love more opportunities to discuss why people don't like things without bashing the people who do like those things.

On the other hand, you have fans who think that if they don't like something, it is okay to be racist/sexist/homophobic/whatever towards the creators/actors of the thing they don't like. And then when they are called out on it, they claim they weren't being racist/etc. they just don't like the thing. No, you were being racist. There isn't anything wrong with not liking something. There is something wrong with being racist. Those are different things.

As a Rise of Skywalker fan, I feel this secret.

this reminds me of how it used to be (? still is?) a faux pas on tumblr to "tag your hate", because clearly only fans would use a tag and they do NOT want to read about people not liking their shit.

the sentiment always rubbed me the wrong way. for one i enjoy taking the things i like apart and look at the ways in which they're flawed, it's part of the fun for me even. for another, sometimes i watch/read something that bugs me in some way and i like looking it up to see if others had the same issues i did. where am i going to find that if not in the tags?

Fuck Riordan and everyone else manufacturing controversy to revive a dead fandom by putting some poor kid through racist attacks.

There was definitely an age where I took this literally too. But I liked the creepy surrealism of it.

"Ryan Reynolds isn't actually hot" is certainly a provocative and controversial opinion

...So THAT'S who they were.

I saw people cosplaying them hanging around the fringes of the Final Fantasy photoshoot at ACen, and at the time I was dressed as Sephiroth specifically to hang out with a friend I basically bonded with a few years back because she's a huge Sephiroth fan. And like, she doesn't really do the cosplay thing, but last year she brought a black cloak so she could be a low-effort Sephiroth clone, hahah.

So anyway, I spotted the folks in the art here, and I turned to my friend and was like "...Are those people over there supposed to be Sephiroth clones? Silver hair, black cloaks..." And she was like "...It does really sort of look like Sephiroth clones... but I dunno..." and the shoot was so huge we couldn't track them down afterwards to find out. I really was wondering what was up with them.

...So basically, thanks for telling me who these folks actually are. :D

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

My friends finally convinced me to watch RuPaul's Drag Race. And I love the looks, especially now that they've been showing a greater variety of drag.

But why does it have to be so damn catty?

I know I'm thin-skinned and a bit naive, but I was hoping for a celebration of mutually-supportive queer performers...not mean girls in drag.

Disappointing. I didn't know about this, but I like other mystery series with religious settings... Cadfael, Grantchester, Father Brown, etc. And a forensic nun sounds pretty cool.

Ooof, I get why this is a secret and I have to say that it isn’t helping me not judge Real Person Fic in general.

I feel sorry for all the people who bought tickets to see Mulaney and then got sucker-punched like this.
