[ Anon Meme ]

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 hate people who talk about Dragon Age II as if it was anything other than an indefensible pile of shit.

OH WELL THE PLOT WAS BAD BUT I LOVED THE CHARACTERS!!

No. The characters were terrible and if you liked any of them you are also terrible. Except Varric. He's okay. But then Varric's fangirls are all terrible so my point still stands.

I forgot that you're the authority on good taste and we should all defer to you before daring to like something

Jesus... What crawled up your vagina and festered there?

Varric is disgusting. Ugh, that chest hair makes me want to throw up everywhere. Also DA2 is so much better than DAO so there

...you're actually complaining about a dwarf being too hairy?

And here I thought we could have a civil discussion about the flaws of DA2 :(

The biggest problem with the game was that EA wanted to make quick and easy money so they forced Bioware to rush it. The plot reeked of missed opportunities and due to the limited interaction you had with your teammates, all of them felt like were parodies of themselves. I won't say that the romances in Origins were that spectacular or anything, but aside from the friendmance!Isabela, all romances were creepy/illogical in DA2 on some level. The only thing they did good with the companions is that they made all of them bi, but aside from that, ugh.

I played a sarcastic male Hawke (I couldn't play a female because her voice and the way she ran irritated me so much that I couldn't bear her for more than half an hour), and never did I hate a character as much as I hated him. I don't know whether this was because of the dialogue well/voice acting or just because he was badly written, but I was pretty sad that I didn't have the opportunity to kill him.

But at least the DA2 fandom gave me great fanworks, so I played a bad game, but gained some very good fanfic/fanart, so it evened out.

HELLO /V/! HOWS IT GOING?

And I hate that I can't say that I enjoyed DA2 in public without someone jumping me and telling me I have terrible taste beyond repair. It definitely had flaws, sure, but I had a decent amount of fun.

Saaaaame. Even though the ending sort of evolved into a inescapable pit of despair ("I hate all these people! I don't want to help any of them!"), I thoroughly enjoyed the first two acts.

I didn't realise it was so universally hated?

but then... while I really enjoyed it, I tend not to visit gaming fandoms.

Uh, sure. How 'bout you calm down anon? It's just as okay to like things as it is to not like them.

DA2 had many, many flaws (it's characters as well) and I don't think you'll find many people who are willing to say otherwise, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible that some people can get some degree of enjoyment out of it. I do think DA is far superior to DA2 in many ways, but I still enjoyed DA2 despite it's issues.

And Varric is fantastic.
