OP here,

I would like to apologize for this secret some. I wrote right after wading thorugh the shitstorm that was that anonymous SPN place, and I sent it off right after instead of taking the time to stop and decompress over how much I hated what was being said. I should have stepped back, and waited a day to re-read it, and see if I was still so upset. I know that not all SPN fans are like the ones who were (hopefully trolls) and posting on the anon place.

I'm still really upset at the fans who really are as tin-hatty as the ones who's comments I was reading, but I know that that's not all SPN fans.

Here's to the baby, and I hope everything goes well for them.

No worries, OP. That place is so full of hate and completely devoid of logic that your secret is understandable.

Um, I am glad you realize that this secret is a little douchey but I think you've got it completely ass-backwards WHY.

Protip: SPN fans are not a marginalized group. The gays are.

OP

I'm not apologizing for "marginalizing" the SPN fans. I'm apologizing for generalizing them all as crazy tinhats.

So, no, I think I know why this secret was douchey. :/

And you don't think it's gross at all that your thoughts on an event designed to help gays accept themselves (sometimes when a lot of the people around them DON'T accept them) are that... some probably-straight guys should use it to make sure everyone knows they are really truly straight and not maybe... the horror... something else? Especially when it's pretty much only a bunch of loud creepy fans speculating on the sexuality to begin with, and 99% of people who'd know who they were wouldn't expect them to be anything BUT straight?

And you don't see how that's appropriative as fuck?

(Anonymous) 2011-10-23 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Erm...

In the secret, I acknowledge that it's a shitty thought. I already knew that, it's in the secret.

But, I'm apologizing because I was generalizing everyone as the same. Apologizing for conflating the loud creepy fans with the other fans.

So, if you know something is shitty and do it anyway, but you say "yeah this is a shitty thing" as you're doing it... it's suddenly okay?

How does that work?

(Anonymous) 2011-10-23 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the fact they're posting it as an anonymous secret is a pretty big clue they know it isn't okay.

(Anonymous) 2011-10-23 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That's why this is a secret. Also, I didn't stop to think before posting it. Which is what I was apologizing for too. :/

(Anonymous) 2011-10-23 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's cool.
