Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

I'm much too old to care if other people are judgmental about my interests for shallow, ignorant reasons.

There's a difference between clowning to your heart's content and griping if other people don't want to join in.

This is a reading comprehension problem. You missed the part where the secret said that being dismissive of other people's thoughts and opinions just because they use a word you find immature is the issue here. And rightly so, that is a truly inane thing to be prejudiced by. Use fandom jargon or don't, but you're in fucking fandom, so judging other people for using it is, I cannot stress this enough, a you problem. Like, sorry you're insecure about your interests and crave the validation of narrow-minded people to the point that you want the thing you're a part of to be less itself in order to cater to outsider's blinkered perceptions, but that is, once again, a you problem.

+1000 seems like this secret touched a nerve. Cant believe people are this hostile to their own hobby community's terminology tbh.

Fandom terminology has sounded silly since the start. I used to not want to use shipping portmanteaus because I thought they sounded juvenile. Then I got a little older and realized it doesnt matter and I dont care. They have a function. Not using them was senseless.

Hm, assumptions on top of straw men.

You can chant "well, that's a you problem" about others disliking blorbo in as many ways as you want, but you're pushing people to use words (or at least accept words) that they find repulsive and don't see a need for.
