THIS!

You go, OP! Fandom should be fun. Anyone who makes a life out of it or takes joy in sucking the fun out of it.... I can only imagine how bad their real life must be.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, come now, BNFs aren't automatically nasty! I'm sure some aren't very nice, but being a BNF just means being well-known and popular in a fandom. There's no need for a blanket condemnation.

That aside, I agree with your secret. Being nice is, well, nice.

[vamp926.livejournal.com]

What the fuck is wrong with capslock comms? We're not mean to anyone. The ones I belong to don't have any over the top rules or anything. So what's the problem.

[kitty-wake.livejournal.com]

Wait... since when were capslock comms nasty places? Admittedly I've only had experience with whatever the Avatar:TLA capslock comm is called, but I'd have imagined they were all like that. The people there are fans of the show and all that.

[verschreibsel.livejournal.com]

I agree with ships wars, bnf worship and maybe even trolls. Though I think nearly everyone feels the need to act stupid sometimes and that's what trolling is. But yeah it sucks sometimes.

But capslock comms? They're not ripping the joy out of fandoms. They make fun of them sure. But I never saw someone who wasn't a fan of the fandom in a capslock comm.

[(Anonymous)]

... not all Capslock Comms are mean.
AND YES I'M LOOKING AT YOU, MISHALAND.

[morrienymph.livejournal.com]

I wholeheartedly agree.

Why hello there, Superman!

[manonlechat.livejournal.com]

I don't think of CAPSLOCK COMS as being about ripping things down. They do get used for occasional rants but in my experience for the most part they're about celebrating fandom and generating humor (a brand of humor that doesn't appeal to everyone. Which is why those people should stay away from CAPSLOCK COMS).

[(Anonymous)]

What a strange list.
I agree with the overall sentiment of the secret but since when are capslocks comms mean? Those can be some of the most entertaining places in fandom. And sure, some BNFs rips the fun out of fandom by reigning over everything, but some are actually deserving of the popularity.

[and-sparks-fly.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I agree with your overall message, but some of the specifics annoy me.
Capslock comms are places for ridiculous, silly fun! The complete opposite of what you seem to be implying. I was a member of a capslock comm once, though I'm not in that fandom anymore, and I just laughed all the time. Maybe others are different, but I kind of doubt it.
BNFs are not all mean, just as all fans in general are not all mean. BNFs are just someone in the fandom who is well-known by other members of the fandom. That doesn't equate to meanness at all. Most of the BNFs I've seen are actually really sweet people.

But, I agree with the point - why be mean? Fandom is about happy fun and ♥

[(Anonymous)]

I completely agree with you. Why hate on what other people are doing for fun?

Although I do like to watch the fallout sometimes.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with most of what you're trying to say here, but BNF's? Most of them are NOT mean people and most of them aren't there by choice; they're there because someone has put them there, either by the amount of readers to fic/word-of-mouth about whatever/whatever, I don't know.

I'm only saying this as someone who's been called a BNF before in a specific fandom and I didn't like it. Even if I was seen as one back then, I'm not a mean person. I don't force my opinions on anybody else and I don't tear any such joy from fandom.

[gravity-xx.livejournal.com]

I agree with your overall message.

And as for the whole capslock things it seems to be pretty split from what I've seen. Some are really fun and the others came off as really elitist and not so fun. I guess it depends on the people in and running the capslock com.

[heyheyitsjane.livejournal.com]

YES.

Thank you so so so much for this, OP!

[untouchable.livejournal.com]

BUT CAPSLOCK IS AWESOME.

[(Anonymous)]

MY CAPSLOCK COM HAS 2000 MEMBERS.

YOU ARE ONE BITTER ELITIST.

WE COULD TOTALLY KICK YOUR ASS. NOT SO WEAK NOW HUH?????

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I see what you're saying OP. But I don't really take anything in fandom as srs business.

[(Anonymous)]

So because you disagree with other people ruining the fun, you decide to scold them and ruin their fun?

[lljscrawls.livejournal.com]

Not all BNFs are mean, you know. And I don't know too much about CAPSLOCK comms, except aren't they just parodies/for fun? I don't see how that's being "mean" either.

The rest, though, I guess I can agree with. Except that just makes me feel bad for the trolls more than anything else, because . . . I know what it feels like to have a bad home life, and it's not something to mock other people for, even if they are douchebags. :/

[(Anonymous)]

cool story bro

[robintheshrew.livejournal.com]

Sometimes that IS the joy and entertainment. :/

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

I agree with this so, so much. I realize that there are some comms/BNF's out there that aren't rude and mean. But most of them are not good places to be.

Sarcastic Vs Mean

[wordfuzion.livejournal.com]

I agree that tearing people down isn't very nice and shouldn't be a mainstay of fandom. I also agree that it should be fun. BUT I think sense of humor can be in the eye of the beholder. I mean, I am a true MSTie...snarky, sarcastic...and it's not done out of meanness. That's just my sense of humor. So I see most Capslocks comms, though I've never been in one, to be more like that.

[akai_senshi.livejournal.com]

I mostly agree with you, although there are BNF’s out there who are BNF’s not for being pushy douchebags, but for being nice, talented people who want to have fun in fandom.
