Lol, you obviously are fortunate enough to be in a less retarded fandom.

Oh, my fandom is plenty retarded. But I'm not about to begrudge people who haven't seen the whole series from joining it.

I don't entirely see what's so acceptable about not just not being ABLE to play the game, but not giving a flying fuck one way or another to even see ANY of the source material, INCLUDING Compilation, like this secret is in reply to.

This isn't like some anime or TV show you can watch part of and understand it up to that point. This is like joining the fandom after watching the shitty OAV that took place in one location completely made up from the original anime and in additionn got all the characterization dead wrong.

Maybe because there isn't much point in getting your panties knotted over who decides to join your fandom? You don't own fandom, and you don't get to dictate who can join it and who can't. Trying to do so makes you more of a wanky asshat than any badfic author.

The original secret never even mentioned writing fanfiction, so I don't see why it matters what they think about characterization. And even if they had? One more badfic author in a roiling sea of them. The world won't end, I promise.

It's just fandom, and people need to chill out.
