I try really hard not to get angry at secrets, but this one pisses me off. I agree that fandom should not be the only thing in your life, and that it's unhealthy when it becomes the only thing in your life.

But. But but but. I also say that for a lot of people, fandom is an escape. For me, at least, it's definitely an escape. For a minute, I don't have to be that girl that I am in real life. I can be this other person who I can't be in real life, and all that matters is what I like and how I act-- if I don't act like a wanky bitch, I won't be treated like a wanky bitch, and if I act like a little strit, I will be treated like one.

And you know what? I don't think you have the right to say how 'unhealthy' I am, or people like me. Fandom makes me happy, and I have a right to do something that makes me happy sometimes. I spend my whole life trying to be happy, and I can't do that all the time. If I base my happiness on things in real life, it's just as much of an 'external, uncontrollable source' as fandom is. You can't control real life any more than you can control fandom, because there are other people involved who have their own free will.

About connection to other characters: it's not a crime to relate to different character, and to find something to help you get through tough time. The fact that other people do it as well does not mean that it's healthy, and it does not mean that it's unhealthy.

You comment about different kinks makes you come across as really ignorant and rude. Just because you don't have a kink doesn't mean that no one else does, and you are in no position to be judging others for their kinks.

I'm not a BNF, and I don't care about any of that stuff, so I'm not gonna say anything other than that if you enjoy writing/drawing/etc, and if people enjoy reading/viewing/etc your work, there is no harm in it.

In general, your attitude comes off as ridiculously condescending. As I've said, you aren't in any position to judge people, because you don't know them, and you are just as much of a person as the rest of them. You are not better than the rest of us just because you don't enjoy fandom like some people do. Before you act at how unhealthy we are and how much we're everything our parents and teachers didn't want us to be, think that you are also failing at general politeness, and you're just coming across as elitist, so you aren't much better.

This. So much.

The irony is that the person who wrote all that out is probably very deeply entrenched in fandom themselves and makes it nothing but SRS BSNS, but they refuse to see that the qualities that they are complaining about are very much a deep part of their own personality.

and because you wrote this huge treatise about how the secret op is wrong wrong wrong...

...kinda proves their point.

you're taking it WAY too seriously that someone anonymous on the internet may think you're a loser.

if you're not, you're not. why would you invest this much energy and rage to care?

why would you invest this much energy and rage to care?

1) Anger issues; I come online to vent my real life anger over issues that don't matter
2) I don't care. My opinions might be true, but I couldn't give two shits about what people on FS think of me, and all the crap I say is just a way to pass the time, and it's fun.
3) I'm an outspoken bitch. I talk a lot. I enjoy talking. The internet is where I can talk, and the worse that happens is some anon thinks I take things too seriously.
