[ 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?

Don't get me wrong, this is not about the fact they ship gay couples. It's the fact that a good portion seem to be 14 years old, batshit insane and refuse to let other shippers be.

ayrt

Well, that's every shipper (as a whole, not individually). We're all mad here.

Why don't you just go with hating younger fans, then? Both het and gen have the same problems; young, stupid, batshit insane fans are a constant.

Because I agree that while most of the younger shippers are batshit crazy, I've noticed that as they get older, while most het shippers seem to calm down (or at least their insanity slips under the radar) ... many slash shippers just don't?

I often put it down to the fact they feel they need to defend their ship more and don't realize/care when it's getting out of hand.

Twi-moms and Snape Wives and Misha minions. That is all.

So just like the het shippers in the Bleach/Macross Frontier/Avatar/Harry Potter fandoms?
