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?

That last one sucks. :(

I really don't like how tumblr encourages the culture of not crediting sources and posting things that aren't yours.

It rewards people posting good art that isn't theirs with followers and gushing comments and people were already so ignorant or not caring about copyright laws to begin with, and then we get this hype machine to exploit that?! ARGH.

I don't wish ill on the owners of tumblr and others and I hate that this would hurt them financially and their reputation, and I feel like a bad person for this, but sometimes I genuinely wish that tumblr would just die, along with all this social web media 2.0 crap. It's "brought people together", in a way, but it's encouraged and even created such an entitled culture that it makes me want to go and smash something. D:

Not to mention the addictive reward-system that has made people neglect real life relationships in favor of internet ones.
