[ 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?

A pairing that I was shipping was effectively torpedoed last year, I don't think any of us who shipped it are actively doing so anymore, yet I still occasionally see people making snide comments about it and the people who shipped it.
And I just don't get it. You didn't like it? Fine. But it's quite obviously in the past now, so why are you still bringing it up?

What pairing? I'm really curious!

Ehhh owing to the fact that it was an RPF ship and I don't even know a lot of people who shipped it, I'm not entirely comfortable revealing specifics.
I doubt anyone who knows/cares about it is here, but still.

Oh, okay. I understand -- still curious, but I understand.

Anyway, people like that sucks and I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I think you can always see potential and possibility in a pairing, even if (for example) one of them got married or something.

I don't get this mentality even when people do ship non-canon things. Some people can't handle the fact that people ship non-canon ships. And they seem to have a bigger problem with ships that could have been canon or are close to canon than they do with not remotely possible in canon ships.

And the other thing is that these people seem to think that people should somehow have known what would be canon before it actually was canon. They like to mock people who were wrong about what ships would be canon when before those parts of canon happened no one knew for certain what would happen (no matter how many hints were given, they can be interpreted in more than one way).

Because people are assholes sometimes.

Sorry to hear about it, anon. Hope your OTP lives on in fanon!
