F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

I really liked this season of Korra. And since we're getting like, four more seasons, so much that was wrong with this season (I liked it, I can also admit that there were some faults) has plenty of time to get fixed or explored to explain why those faults were necessary.

And you know what? Bolin is overrated. I kind of hope he turns out to be a jerk, just so his woobie-fying fans can shut up.

And Tahno is also overrated. He got like, five minutes of screen time. What? How does he have so many fangirls?

ohgod Tahno creeps me the fuck out, I hate how popular he is

he's also ugly

*runs lke hell*

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
huh. Tahno MUST be overrated and a small part in the show because I genuinely don't remember who the hell that is. Is he, like, the Blaise Zabini of the Korra fandom?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha, omg, I forgot about how many fans Blaise had/has. I suppose it's something like that.

This popped up on my Tumblr dash a bit ago, coincidentally enough, maybe it explains Tahno's popularity:

*reads* ... oookay

*googles* OH! THAT guy! ... somehow I'm not surprised he has fangirls but yeah he just struck me as skeevy and spoiled and weird-looking.

My head canon is that at least one of the two girls on his arms had a penis. And he liked it that way.

get out

no seriously

Tahno is awesome because he's a douchebag the story acknowledged was a douchebag. Then he clearly became less of a douchebag, but still a smartass and a coward. Acceptable weaknesses

but most importantly, self confidence/smugness is attractive as FUCKYES

Aw, does someone disagree with you about a character?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
they did, but then i got distracted thinking about tahno naked and it turned into an appreciation post of forceful sex with douchebags.

I liked the first season, and hope the faults get addressed in later seasons, as well.

I adore Bolin but that's because I see a lot of my husband in him, including in physical appearance, so I can't not see him as awesome. =p

I love Tahno's character because I like sleezebaggy characters because they are SLEEZEBAGS. I love it. I love that he's a cheaterous asshole who got what he deserved. I love how they showed him afterwards, and I do wish he'd get more screen time because I think his character arch could be interesting, if they gave him one. But I don't think he's like...an awesome person. His character is just a lot of fun, for me.

This. I love dickish characters. Not because I don't think they're dicks (they are) and not because I want to "fix them" (I don't). I like them because they're dicks and that makes them FUN.

And you know what? Bolin is overrated. I kind of hope he turns out to be a jerk, just so his woobie-fying fans can shut up.

So you'd rather have his characterization be inconsistent than have fans like him? Bolin is written as a pretty flat character, but from what we've seen of his personality, he seems to be a sweet kid - immature and naive, yes, but he means well.

And Tahno is also overrated. He got like, five minutes of screen time. What? How does he have so many fangirls?

He's an Ensemble Darkhorse. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EnsembleDarkhorse) Also, the Avatar/LoK fandom has a tendency of loving/giving attention to characters with limited screen time (e.g., Foaming Mouth Guy, Feathered Hat Man, Howl, etc.).

hell with that, Bolin is a beautiful person

idc about Tahno though

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
They're dragging this trainwreck on for HOW much longer? I thought it was only supposed to be one more season!

I gave up on it after the creators basically loled at the idea of any sort of accountability or real development in romance though.

tahno actually didn't used to be as popular before episode 7 aired. he's now a sad broken woobie who needs a hug, so of course he has a ton of fangirls.
