rant rant rant
I often get into fandoms fairly early and have a great time discussing plot/characters sharing art/fic whatnot with a small group of people and all of a sudden the show will get popular and fans will flood the community on LJ and instead of (mostly) interesting posts, a great number of the posts will be something like, "I saw a license plate with a 6 and 9 in it and took a picture LOL IT'S MY PAIRING!" "This store is called ARMSTRONG OMG I BET ARMSTRONG WORKS THERE!!" You know, things that might be sort of chuckle-worthy if they weren't being posted ALL THE TIME. It gets tiring after a while and eventually I'll just stop watching the community, but by that time I'm often so annoyed by it all that I associate the series itself with the annoying people who flood the community with those sorts of things and just can't enjoy it like I used to.
I am also friends with a few people like that in real life and after long evenings of "OMG OMG OMG that building is blue like ____'s eyes", "I'm the biggest fan of __(whatever is super popular)__ because __(strange claim)___ and ensuing you're not a real fan because you don't know the names of __(something random like all the pairing names in Pokémon)___," etc, etc it makes me wish the fandoms I joined stayed small/I didn't introduce some friends to them.
I know it's really an asshole thing of me to say, and it IS my fault for getting upset over these sorts of things. It's not like this happens all the time or anything, but it happens enough to make me selfishly wish things would stay small. Sorry for the rambling.
