I used to love it, but I went back earlier this year and I think it might actually be worse than this place. At least F!S, with all the trolls and wank, usually has a sense of fun. FanficRants just gets scary when people dogpile.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

I used to be a semi-regular some years back and it was way more fun then, when you didn't have to phrase things just right so as not to have people rage over a moot detail.

[(Anonymous)]

That place has made me hate phrases like YMMV because I swear half the time people feel like they have to say it in case of inevitable dogpile.

[(Anonymous)]

Some of the dogpiling is ridiculous, when it's over something pedantic like blond vs. blonde. But I actually like that the comm as a whole has grown and changed so it doesn't allow bigotry and shaming. A lot of the time, when I see people complaining about ffrants or F!S or stupid_free, it's because they said something offensive, and continually failed to grasp it was offensive, even when multiple people had explained to them why it was offensive. Then it just becomes "those damn social justice warriors, ruining the fun", with all sorts of "next they'll be telling me that it's offensive to say [insert random example here] hurrhurrhurr" and all sorts of other attempts to ridicule the people who called them out as being ~too sensitive~. I don't know, I just think a lot of people seem to think that being called out on being offensive is somehow stepping on their rights to say offensive shit wherever they want, and their right to be offensive (~free speech~) is more important than not actively offending other people.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it can be really funny sometimes, but I wish people would give people who phrase things in potentially unfortunate ways a polite explanation to why what they said was potentially unfortunate and them see if they change it before getting angry. A lot of people seem to get dog piled on for stuff they didn't realize was potentially unfortunate. People don't always know that what they are saying can be offensive until somebody tells them. I feel bad for people in that situation getting dog piled.

If they act poorly after a polite explanation then they lose all of my sympathy though.

I don't know. I think it can be fun, but I also think that any community based largely on complaining about or making fun of something has a lot of potential to get nasty, especially when it has to do with something like fic where it can get personal pretty easily.

I actually like that fanficrants is generally inclined to call out any really assholish or annoying behavior. The problem, of course, is that sometimes it will get taken too far and become more about bullying than standing up for someone. I just don't think the community would be all sunshine and roses if that didn't happen. It's a rant community. It can be fun and there can be nice discussions, but it's also a place that attracts people who like to rant and complain a lot. That's going to result in some fights no matter what.

[oflittlebrain.livejournal.com]

fanficrants is just really boring and lame imo

weepingcock is the best fanfic sporking community out there (◡‿◡✿) although i must say i think it's deteriorated in quality lately...

[karel]

See, I think the dogpiling is what makes it funny. Especially when it's over petty shit like "y'all"'s spelling. Or at least, I did before I left. It's gotten way too serious for me over the past year or so.

[(Anonymous)]

I still follow it but it's gotten over the top with the dogpiling. Is there ever a good reason? Sure, sometimes. But sometimes it's just ridiculous. It's like every single rant has to be structured with fifty weasel words to make sure you're not shaming someone's kink or denying some exception.

[lemon-m.livejournal.com]

I've come to the conclusion that most people there just fail at reading comprehension. I took a stroll through it recently out of morbid curiosity and someone was complaining that a fic had been written from an 11-y/o's point of view, yet had some pretty skeevy descriptions of his body, and the author had gone and said "I'm not a pedophile"... which either means the author is stupid and young, or does have some weird stuff up in their head. But half the comments in the ffr entry were going "but you can write things you don't agree too~~" and I was like, did you read or did you just nearly tripped over your keyboard in your haste to give your oh so wise lecture? :|

That was the feeling I got the most when I was active there, that's just the best example I can give rn.

[(Anonymous)]

Couldn't agree more! And Theo is such an arrogant asshole that I can't even look at Zachary Quinto anymore without grinding my teeth.

And no, I've never posted there or interacted with anyone, I think that just from lurking.

[(Anonymous)]

It has fallen prey to the online SJ Warriors Thought Police just as much as other wank comms on LJ. It's petty and boring, but I guess people feel if they can't control anything else, at least they can control language.

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

I still follow it, and I'm glad that certain words aren't allowed anymore, but the place does get needlessly pedantic at times, and I tend not to post for fear that I'll inevitably piss someone off.

That, and it's kind of discouraging as a writer to see all these rants going "if you have ONE SINGLE TYPO and haven't researched for WEEKS it throws me out of the story and you're a bad writer. I'm sorry, sometimes a misplaced homophone or typo slips through, fucking deal.

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

I enjoy it more than this comm in that I don't feel like I'm walking through an asshole landmine when I go to a comments page there. There are some over-dramatic people there, though.

[(Anonymous)]

I prefer it now.

[(Anonymous)]

What gets me is all these tiny random side communities that people create because they get sick of a certain type of rants. And then they post comments in these type of rants claiming they don't belong in the com anymore and belong in these side coms. It is fanficrants, people, so any rant related to fanfic belongs there.

[(Anonymous)]

i like it a lot better now the -ists and -phobes are scared off or dogpiled

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes it's really fucking ridiculous, but I'll take a few overeager dogpilers in exchange for slurs and bigotry being treated as unacceptable. I've got my priorities.

The wank is half the fun anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

I watch because it is fun seeing the dogpilers make mistakes and get dog piled themselves.

I have two communities you might enjoy!!

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for all your "waaaah ffranters are mean to me" needs

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for all your "waaaah people are mean to me just because I'm white/cis/straight" needs

[danubee.livejournal.com]

If I could marry this secret, I totally would. Completely agree, hands down!

[(Anonymous)]

If someone is scared to post due to holding douchey opinions that would get them dogpiled...
Good FUCKING riddance. Nothing of value is lost by these people not posting.

[sylva-rerum.livejournal.com]

Eh, I don't know. Even ignoring all the wank, I still think that place is pretty damn boring. It's just the same sorts of rants over and over and over again.

[(Anonymous)]

Jesus fucking Christ. Why is everybody so fucking sensitive?
Did you know that now, apparently, the word "bitch" is misogynistic? I'm a girl and I, nor ANY of my friends that are girls, consider it to be misogynistic. And I know you people are going to come after me with an argument like, "Oh just because you aren't offended doesn't mean that other people won't be blah blah blah." Whatever. There is no doubt in my mind that whoever gets offended by words like "bitch" and "lame" and whatever the fuck else there is, they obviously have bigger problems. They probably have NO FRIENDS and they probably can't go out in public because whenever they do, they just fly into a blind rage whenever some well-intentioned person says "I can't find my keys. That's lame."
