IDK, you don't really sound like an ass to me and I agree, it's not unfair that people have different preferences and fandom tends to flock around certain characters or character tropes. That doesn't mean you can't sympathize with people who never get to have their favorites be in the limelight. It's easy to sympathize with people because it does suck for them. And there's nothing wrong with people being nice in those circumstances.

But there's nothing fair or unfair about it. It isn't like fandom character popularity is doled out equally among all characters and there's some vast conspiracy to prevent the unliked ones from being beloved. Some of my favorites are fandom favorites and others are loathed by fandom. It happens. And when I've got a favorite who gets bashed or ignored, yeah, that sucks.

But when I've got a favorite who is loved by all of fandom and that results in always having fic about them, fanart of them, and there always being someone I can have meta discussions with? That's AWESOME. And having the fandom favorite as my favorite usually means that my favorite gets the role I like best in H/C and in porn. It's brilliant! Who wouldn't want that? Who wouldn't be totally stoked to have that happen?

You're not being an asshole, you're being human.

Yes, this. All of it.

Lying is pretty assholish to me.

So lying is more assholish than saying "lol no IDGAF about your stupid characters"?

(Anonymous) 2012-09-30 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is. The latter is rude but at least honest.
