[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

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?

Is the best way to deal with haters to just ignore them?

I got my first one, and I blocked them on tumblr. I didn't want to give them any attention or anything so I haven't talked about it at all to the people watching my blog or my friends yet. But they just called me out on their blog (along with a few other people) and said we're messed up for liking stupid stuff we do, and regularly reblog stuff from my fan blog to judge the things I do and how I do them.

The thing is, I'm not even a bnf... most of the stuff I post doesn't even get that much attention. (less than 10 notes / comments)

But I also see people judging bnfs for censoring their fans and not being able to take criticism / anything that isn't a praise is deleted so they look really stuck up.

What's the best way to do this? Am I doing it right? I really don't want to put up with them.

Really, just ignore them. For a while, it will make them even angrier, but eventually everyone will forget about the whole thing. If you get into an argument with them, there is a chance that the whole thing will explode in your face and will get you even more unwanted attention. You said that their attack was unprovoked, so there is also a good chance that they are quite young (like, 14-16 years old young), so getting into an argument with them is a lost cause, and in the eyes of outsiders, you are arguing with a stupid kid over fandom stuff.

That's true... now that I think of it, it is silly to get upset over some kid about fandom stuff.

Thank you anon!

If they're reblogging to tell you how much you're doing it wrong, then they're haters and the best thing to do is what you've done, block and ignore. It's not censorship. If you do a blog stating an opinion and leave comments open, that's one thing but it sounds like all they want to do is tell you how much your taste in whatever-it-is-you're-into sucks.

People like that are the moldy, scummy underside of fandom.

Well, sort of. Sometimes they reblog my artwork, or fanart that I reblogged from friends to tell me what a piece of shit it is, or you know, questioning my taste, etc. Just, I didn't know if I was being a wuss or if they were being an asshole.

But thank you anon, I'll continue keeping them blocked and ignore them.
