Re 12 - HAHAHAHAHAHA. Okay. Die.

Re 7 - You're right. The world's biggest problem with haters is when they're stupid, though. As long as you don't bash the character flat it's okay not to like them.

you're right, the problem is with stupidity, not with the hate. But stupidity isn't only with characters haters. It's with lovers as well, and come on, you see that outside of fandom too.
What makes me so mad is that most people think chara hater = basher. I am personally VERY loud in my fandom, and i get carried on equally with hate and love, but I always have good reasons to hate or love someone, and I so love to explain them. I really like to talk about it, and I always like to have some sort of confront with the other side.
But what do I get in exchange of giving them my reasons, and waiting for an interesting reply ? "Basher" "idiot" "you should get a life instead of waisting your time hating a chara".
Instead I don't get them when I fangirl about a chara I love. I don't think it's right, as it has already been said, it's a double-edged sword. I'm not even offensive towards the fans, I've never did a hate shrine, I've never flamed anyone anywhere, and I'm always reasonable. I really just enjoy a good discussion, expecially if it's with different point of views. But.. it's impossible. The good example is that most people there replyed as if I were a basher (thought it's reasonable because of the joke I did with the images, but it was obviously a Joke. I don't spend my time ruining images, even if it's lulzy. I did it for the lulz.), when I don't think anything that I wrote there could let you think that (beside the images, that is.).I think it's sad, I want to be free to hate a chara and not be called retarded for that, not just when I say OMFG *drool* MELLO MARRY ME AND LET'S DO *CENSORSHIP*

What? No, I never thought you were a basher! I was talking about bashers in general.

I think it's good to have opinions about your fandom and the characters in it. It's the only way anything gets done. Positive or negative, opinions are what makes fandom.

I'm not bothered by haters. Hell, in my current fandom, one of my favourite characters is bashed mercilessly (or was - most of the complete idiots have upped and gone off to do something else now, but plenty still remains) and that hasn't made me like him less. Another of my favourites from the same fandom isn't bashed so much as disliked, and they have good reasons to. And that's okay. I still love her.

Sorry, I didn't mean *you* thought I was a basher, I just ended up giving a more general reply instead of just replaying to you. I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough! I hope you weren't offended

and you're the reason why haters and lovers get a bad wrap. why must you be "VERY loud" in your fandom and why must you "like to have some sort of confront with the other side".

sounds like you're the immature one here.
