protip: While growing up can sometimes be seen as outgrowing things, they are not perfect synonyms. Phrases have many layers and many uses, and picking the one that you find insulting just for the sake of being insulted makes you appear to need a little growing up yourself.

OP said "I grew up" (not "I changed"), and directly related this growing up to their disinterest in fandom. What do you think they meant by that?

(Anonymous) 2011-05-05 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, I think I meant 'I gained more responsibility in both my personal and professional life and now, possibly related, I no longer have as strong an interest in fandom and that makes me sad'. Another protip: your interpretation is wrong kthxbye.

You're still making a relation between being a 'grown', 'responsible' adult and losing interest in fandom - which might very well be true in your case, but if you don't make it clear that you don't think it has to be the same for everyone else, then don't be surprised if people assume that you're one of the many out there who automatically equate being in fandom with being immature and irresponsible. If it quacks like a duck, you know?

Also: don't keep using "protip" when you're not actually a professional in the domain you're pretending to school other people on. It only makes you look condescending.
