If you think having internet friends is too much responsibility, you're not going to have many good friends in real life either.

[(Anonymous)]

I could disagree! It depends on how you enter fandom, and what level of responsibility you attach to your friends online versus offline. I always felt that I held a lot more responsibilities toward my internet friends than my real-life friends.

Most people don't have many "good" friends to begin with. I mean the type that will stick with you through thick or thin and not just the fair-weather friends.

Anyway, about online vs. real life. I met my BFF in an anime club and while we've both drifted away from anime, we have a ton of other stuff in common. There were other people that I only had anime in common with them, we all drifted away and I never see them anymore so no responsibility to keep up with them.

If this had happened online, I'd probably still have them on my friends list and be 'seeing' them all the time and it would be kinda awkward trying to feign interest in stuff I no longer care about (or never cared about to begin with).

Anyway, that's just my take - YMMV.

Or you have quite enough of them, where the extra little social obligations over the internet just don't seem worth it.

It isn't always easy to juggle that time, especially if you go out a lot.

[(Anonymous)]

Not true.
Internet friends means I have to be online each day and read their journals, chat with them and spend online time with them. Also time-zones.

I've tried making fandom friends many times in different fandoms, but it always turned out the same. After a while they would say shit like "if you were my friend you would at least comment on my pictures" when I had an ass full of work to do IRL and couldn't be bothered to give her bad fanart any attention. Giving her concrit and looking at her stuff became a chore to me. Just like talking to people in text format, each one in a different window.

RL friends don't need you to babysit them all the time. At least not in my case.
Also, they're REALLY there for me when I need them and not 100 000 miles away. And, ynno, I can meet them IRL at least onc a week and do cool things with them other than hang in front of my PC all weekend long.

oh thank god it's not just me

i feel even shittier because none of my online friends even asked me to look over the stuff, but i felt that i had to read every single thing they ever posted, didn't know what to comment, and so on

and some of them posted more often than i logged in
