[ 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?

same anon

sorry if I came across as offensive or something, is what I'm trying to get at with that tldr

sa

I didn't mean to offend anyone or make anyone feel bad, if that's what happened (except people who think Rorscharch is someone to be emulated; come on, his saving grace was sticking to his principles, but the man was messed up in the head; the whole thing was a parade of flawed people, not role models STOP TRYING TO BE JUST LIKE THEM PLEASE orz)

I'm not articulating well today, sorry D:

I <3 my flawed characters, though Rorschach was never one of my favourites. I guess we can offend his (more extreme) fans together. *sticks out tongue; blows raspberry*

Oh, yeah, I know that many of his fans are perfectly aware of what they're seeing and like him as a character and know that he's not this SUPER AWESOME MAN WHO IS HELLUVA LOT STRONG AND DOES WHATEVER HE WANTS AW YEAH.

Flawed characters are neat, but, seriously, it's like some works need a disclaimer from the author saying something like, "This is a work of fiction, these are people with shitty attitudes who are not perfectly good people despite fighting evil — please don't emulate them, these sorts of behaviors are terrible in real life and are the mark of terrible people, not cool people, please don't imitate them, okay? Okay.

PS: Same goes for villains. Please improve your judgement of character."

I shouldn't say anything because some of my favourite characters are villain types (More 80's comic-era Magneto than Rorschach, though, if that means anything to you), but, yeah, recognize the difference between things that sound cool in fiction but aren't so great in real life and traits that can and maybe should be emulated on your quest to be a functional member of society.
