When the ENTIRE FUCKING FANDOM treats you like shit for not shipping the main pairing, then there's a problem.

Fuck, one of my best friends got angry and personally offended when I said I don't ship it. Someone I thought would be perfectly fine with it.

Teen Wolf fandom is quickly turning into a combination of the Supernatural and Glee fandoms.

In my experience (and I should point out that while I'm a fan of the show and so follow things, I'm not really in the fandom so I don't have a pony in this race), there's far more hate directed at Sterek shippers for monopolizing the fandom/harrassing actors and JD, etc. than there is hate directed at non-Sterek shippers for not liking the pairing. But nonetheless, here are some other suggestions:

- Hang out in corners of fandom that share your interests and opinions.
- Point out when people are behaving rudely while also attempting not to sink to their level.
- Stop caring what strangers on the internet think about you.
- Tell your friend to grow up/shut up.
- Accept that wank is part of fandom.

Could you not treat me like a child? You probably think you're being helpful, but really it just came across as very condescending.

I'm a big girl. I can figure it out. And if I can't, I will ask for help. Please don't throw it at me.

Well, when people respond to a post containing suggestions on how to deal with things in fandom with problems they have, the natural progression of the conversation is to address those problems in the same manner and tone of the original comment.

Or I wasn't trying to be helpful and was trying to be sarcastic and condescending.

Or C) all of the above.

You know what? I tried to be nice. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, and chose to believe that you are truly a nice person. I exploded at first, but felt I was polite in your condescending asshole post. Of course, now you show your ass.

And I'm not in the least bit surprised.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-25 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I can tell from your comments here that you're trying to be nice.

[personal profile] pynapel 2012-10-25 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
This is me nice. All the posts in this thread? That's me, being nice. Sorry I don't shoot sunshine out of my ass.

DA No, not the "natural progression" - the progression when one of the parties is being supercilious and not listening properly.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-25 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's... a very bad combination.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-25 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
don't even bother. if you try to point this out, sterek fans will just boo hoo about how they are so oppressed and they aren't all bad!! a lot of SPN fans jumped ship to this show, so i am not surprised.

also i have seen fans (sterek shippers lol) admit that they DON'T EVEN WATCH THE SHOW, or only watch stiles/sterek parts and they still do fan works for it. go figure huh.

A lot of SPN and Glee fans. Glee ends in early summer, which is when Teen Wolf begins.

Cue disaster.

Oh fuck that's SO TRUE. /o\

I don't ship Sterek either, and yeah, some people get really bent out of shape if you tell them as much and I'm really sick of having it shoved in my face. That being said, there are some of the anti-Sterek people who are just as ridiculous about being asshats to others, but they think that not being a majority group somehow justifies their hate. There are people being assholes on all sides here, honestly, and it's making the fandom a not very fun place to be.
