fandomsecrets | (no subject)

Singling just the RP "trends" seems sort of foolish when all the other ones will continue to exist and likely multiply. As stated above, creating more communities for RP secrets could lead to creating more for other groups, and that seems pretty ridiculous when

fandomsecrets is already an offshoot. RP is as much a part of fandom as cosplay, fanfiction, fan art, and so on. People will always have something to say about one of the above that will echo a sentiment shared by many, so really what you seem to be after is getting rid of trend secrets rather than RP secrets, which is... well, impossible.

We have different reasons to visit the community. I'm just here for the laughs and because I get what people're talking about so the joke isn't lost on me. I'm not singling out RP secrets, I'm only answering because that was what the question asked and I find RP secrets unfunny to begin with, even more so when it's rehashed over and over again. In fact, if in a few months, another poll were to be brought up asking if a separate comm should be made for shipping secrets because that's all people've been submitting, then I'd answer the same way I just did. Unless all the shipping secrets have been nothing but a roller coaster of shits and giggles, then I'd say no because they made my visit to the comm worthwhile.

This isn't about fandom for me because I have no reason to take it seriously. I don't understand how anyone could.

Sooooo, basically, you'd vote off anything that doesn't entertain you? Fascinating. I was unaware that secrets were created for the sole purpose of amusing the people who browsed the community rather than, you know, telling a secret. I can't say much regarding the frequency of RP secrets, considering the fact that I thought the number was actually going down (I actually skim past them most of the time), but if it's just that they stand out to you as "unfunny," redundant, and therefore lacking in any form of merit, then it doesn't seem like we're going to come to some kind of agreement, does it? It all boils down to a matter of personal preference, and in this case, we seem to have very different ones. I happen to enjoy the variety, even if some of the secrets shown are not to my taste, but if you'd rather remove them entirely... again, I don't think we'll agree.

APPARENTLY NOT. Silly me. Forgot my own head next, I expect. Must stop reading British things.

I'm not asking you to agree because I'm answering for the sake of answering. Why does my answer have to be for the greater good of every other member here or have to lead to greater internet stability? If other people want to have conversations on how a part of fandom has become integral to their lives and share this same phenomenon with other people, then that's their thing. Mine is just to laugh at how inane the secrets are because I share the reason. But to discuss it at length? Whatever.

I got into one argument once on the comm because a secret instigated my inner fanboy, realized that I was being a tard for it and just went back to why I came in the first place and I became infinitely happier. This entire conversation we're having kinda annoys me because, seriously, whatever happens to the comm is something I could care less about. What you think about the comm is something I could care less about. I wouldn't be surprised if my opinion, yours or anyone else's would be anything to care about. Serious Business and all that.

I'm in it for me, nothing and no one else.

Interesting. I could ask why exactly you'd even bother to comment or fill out the poll if this means so very little to you, but I'll respect your apparent wish to be left alone and end this discussion. Have a nice life.
