Rant continued...

And to those people out there who get stressed out about fandom being filled with fanbrats who never watched/read the original material... I understand your pain. I know what it feels like to wade through a bunch a crap just to find some solid gold. But you know what? That's life. They're 'fan'ing the things they want to, and we're 'fan'ing it the way we want to, and we stress and piss each other off until we're at each other's throats. But also realize that while there probably is a strong correlation between not watching/reading the material and writing a load a crap (with OOC characters and whatnot), that doesn't always ring true. i.e. My tryst with GW. I watched the whole series when it was on Cartoon Network, and I loved Relena while I was watching it. Soon after finishing it though I came across the Wonderful World of Web. I was introduced to many shiny, new things at the time, one of them being yaoi. I fell in love with it immediately. And I was childish, obsessive, and completely immature with it. I became a hardcore 1x2 3x4 shipper, and I joined the fancraze of bashing Relena left and right, even though I initially loved her. I regret what I did, but I'm glad I went through the stage, b/c it helped me realize many things about myself, what I liked, how I could improve and so on.

So I guess my whole point is that while I can understand people getting stressed out over other's not reading the material, it also begins to frustrate me at the same time. Whatever, you can think less of people for doing so - there's nothing I can do about it - but we have our reasons and it is not necessary.

And I could continue ranting until I was blue in the face, but I'm tired and I need to go to bed. Therefore, end transmission.

Have a great day everyone! *dead*
