Wow, way to uhhh... stereotype?

This actually sounds like a troll because a lot of fandom is essentially american on these sites.

But hey, amazing factoid, not all americans are loud and obnoxious.

This actually sounds like a troll because a lot of fandom is essentially american on these sites.

No. And frankly you making that statement is almost as dumb as the original secret.

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Why? It is inaccurate that websites that have run nationality polls show up a significant amount of americans? Gosh I must really be off base here.

I'm not saying thre aren't a vast majority of people on here I'm just saying it sounds like trolling because this is a website festering with americans

(Anonymous) 2009-08-17 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
lol wut

[identity profile] fenm.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
because a lot of fandom is essentially american on these sites.

As an American, let me say: Shut up, you're not helping.

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
let me reiterate. It is a numbers game, and you'll find that there is a vast quantity of americans on here, not JUST americans. It's called numbers not making things worse.

[identity profile] fenm.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You said fandom, not fans.

And correct or not, it still makes you sound just as arrogant as the OP.

And "American" should be capitalized, for Pete's sake.

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
well I meant fans, not fandom. I say fandom as meaning the people, not the shows?

Why does it make me sound arrogant for making a correct statement? Also American here. Have it capital. This is a two-second typing that doesn't require impeccable capitalization and literacy *sigh*.

[identity profile] cobryn-moy.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps it was unintentional on your part, but there is an ocean of difference between "contains a (slight to large, depending on fandom) majority of people who are American" and "essentially American".

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't taking about fandom but more on lj in general. But yes, flip the words a lot and essentially and you have what I meant to say.

'essentially a lot' versus 'a lot essentially'. Regardless, there still is a buttload of americans on the lj.

(Anonymous) 2009-08-17 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
What's that country's name again...you know the one next to America...it's pretty big...

Oh yeah, Canada? Also there are a lot more British and Australian people in English speaking fandom than you seem to think :| I know most fandoms will have more Americans than people from other countries a lot of the time, but that doesn't mean they're ESSENTIALLY made up of Americans.

Not helping yourself one little bit.

/rant.

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
dduh. I'm not saying there isn't i said a lot, on THIS website, meaning, a specific group of people. I know there are people that speak english in a vast amount of countries, but on average you will find polling a site like livejournal that there is a significan't amount of americans.

(Anonymous) 2009-08-17 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
On this comm or LJ on a whole.

I'm sorry, there is a significant number of Americans, but it's not 'essentially' American s'all I'm saying.

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
you're right, it was a bad word choice lol, but I was actually using it for the purpose of implying that 'a lot essentially' it is essentially a lot, not vice versa, but people have to stop reading word for word with such vindication.

[identity profile] fenm.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
people have to stop reading word for word

All we HAVE is your words. If you don't make yourself clear, that's not our fault.

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
or take things too personally to interpret into wank?

I'm not generally at the center of this (although I suppose now I am haha) but when it comes to secrets I know people read them very incorrectly and stir-up unnecessary argumentative stances, because the statements could be interpreted in multiple ways and people chose to take it the wrong way. I'm not saying my wording was the best, but people are getting way too heated up about it imo.

(Anonymous) 2009-08-17 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's alright, dude but considering the secret you came off as...the kind of big-headed. Considering the secret, you can see how people get the wrong impression.

I see what you're saying but this is F!S, it's annoying but people are out for blood here most of the time. Only half kidding there l-lol...

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No yeah, I get it now. I remember I replied to a secret and was like 'OP I get what you're saying, people are just freaking out because you used the word fat so they're not paying attention to what the secret means' and they replied saying that I was right, so... it's not like I haven't experienced it before from the other end.

It's always these 'controversial' secrets that people start getting antsy about perfect wording, and I'm.. a lazy quick typer at times and so I found myself having to explain myself lol.

I was more trying to make the point because there is so many americans on here the secret sounds like it is asking for trouble. XD

(Anonymous) 2009-08-17 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Pff it's cool. I guess I got antsy because I kind of...am used to the attitude that fandom is all American with a few Canadians, Brits etc.

I normally don't get pissy over wording either so I'm sorry, people always pick at stuff I say by taking what I've said the wrong way (sometimes it seems like purposefully trying to cause drama though) because I don't really bother phrasing everything perfectly and eloquently~ and I've caused a few minor wanks. It's frustrating cause I don't mean anything ill-spirited but you've just have to laugh in the end, right?

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol I'm Czech anyway but I do live in america, so trust that I understand! XD

me neither, and I don't mind apologizing when I say something wrong or that my point was wrong at first... I find people are so shocked, as if I ruined their wank by being... rational? XD

(Anonymous) 2009-08-17 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Honey, you're talking yourself into a corner. You can't play the numbers game without having those numbers on hand.

And no, you can't use the 'divided by country' LJ stats; that list isn't divided into fandom/non-fandom journals.

[identity profile] gethenian.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, people seem to want to be offended today.

All the fandom forums and sites I've ever frequented -- even the ones for originally British fandoms -- ARE inhabited primarily by Americans. I am not sure what is so offensive about pointing that out.

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2009-08-17 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
XD thank you, I wasn't meant to insult people are not say they don't exist... just stating a statistic. Glad to know not everyone is out to rip me in half.
