no really, what sense of elitism? there isn't even anything to be elitist about ffs the internet is a shithole.
no subject
no subject
but having been on the internet for as long I can remember (which is at least 14 or 15 years) is absolutely not one of them!
no subject
About the same here, and I'm not proud of it either. It blows my mind that there are people who are. I've met them. It's a terrible thing. Usually leave wanting to punch them in the face. I'm glad you aren't one of them, because the internet really doesn't need more megalomaniacs.
no subject
I'm not really ashamed of it, I'm just not proud. it's just been a thing in my life for a long time is all. I'm curious to know how old you were when you first went online now :o (I'm 23 now so do the mathsss)
I've been involved in small and large scale trolling, taken part in my fair share of wank but these days I'm pretty chill about stuff. I actively avoid places where dickheadish people converge in large groups so my time online is rarely spoiled.
no subject
I'm 23 too. I think it was around 1998 when I first actually posted online, but I know I went on AOL-for-kids or something before that and played games because that's all my mom and stepdad would let me do, lol. After I learned how to navigate by myself I pretty much stuck to the same few websites over and over, mainly fanfiction and anime parody stuff to make me feel less ronery before I met people irl who liked it.
I think most people who get really worked up or angry about things are younger and inexperienced, so they don't know any better. I've never really done trolling (just not my thing) but outside of a few secrets comms like this I never really interact with too many anons or unknowns anymore. (I think the worst one is actually loli-secret, which is full of girls taking a frilly fashion waaay too seriously.) I'm not in any fandoms in particular atm either so I'm sure I'd be more subject to dickheads if so.
no subject
I'm only guessing saying it was around 1998, it might even be as early as '96, I'm just not certain. I don't know much of what I did in my early days but I know in late '99 I took my first foray into trolling haha. then I discovered fandom in May 2001 (Harry Potter to be specific) and I've never looked back since then. I left that fandom way before the final book came out but I've been in plenty of others since.
all fandoms have a group of vocal and annoying fans who give everybody else a bad name ): depends where you go I guess, fans on livejournal can be really different to those on tumblr and so on.
I think a lot of people who get worked up, in my experience are either dealing with a genuinely cunty person (whether they're being mean, stupid, ignorant etc doesn't matter) or they just don't know how to recognise a troll. not sure age has anything to do with it, really.
no subject
Oh my, don't I know it. I was in Death Note fandom at its peak, which had the worst rep of any others at the time. I guess I was lucky, because most of the people I met were pretty cool, but I did see and get linked to some insane 'tards. I'm sure you know the pain, especially hearing what I have about Homestuck fans. (Most of which seem pretty laid-back to me but uhh...?)
Hm, you're right. Bad wording on my part. But I will say some of the most vocal fandom crazies at least are young and hormonal and not sure what to do with themselves. Not that I wasn't there myself for a while, lol, and not that older people can't be nuts. One of the Death Note fandom's most annoying and recurring members was almost 35, if I remember correctly. It's awesome to be in fandom at that age, but posting incoherent ramblings about your Sims to every other comment in every post is a little much.
no subject
haha anime and manga fandom in general just seems to attract the crazies. I used to read/watch a lot but I never really got into one specific fandom because I would be seeing new things all the time there just wasn't time to concentrate on one fandom for long. I've been in and out of kpop for the past 4 or 5 years, while I'm not ashamed of that in the slightest I wish it didn't attract so many genuine idiots.
my current fandoms are Homestuck (duh) and touhou and I guess doujin music (if that can even be considered a fandom when all you do is listen to music by super obscure people), though I have a wider interest in stgs as a whole these days. I have avoided Homestuck fandom because I think most of the people in it are generally pretty annoying - especially on tumblr. lj fans are pretty cool so far. I only talk about it with one person, on twitter.
touhou fans... I only like a very, very small percentage of fans. people either think fans are loli lovers just because the playable characters are all girls, or that we wouldn't know a good stg if it shot us in the face. the small percentage of people I like fall into neither of those categories.
I don't really know why I'm so judgemental these days but I think my time in the HP fandom has something to do with it. I witnessed almost every major wank from 2001-2007. after that I just couldn't get too involved in any fandom and just decided to enjoy things pretty much by myself.
