Your picture choice is cracking me up so hard :D

Also? Either be guilty and kick yourself and tell yourself you'll never do it again, or lol in private over fandom batshittery and be smug about starting it and take notes on how to do it again. It's not a big deal.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-20 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
There is non wrong answer to that choice, but there is a right answer. It's the latter.

Only if you're a complete scumbag.

What happened wasn't entirely OP's fault, but the right thing to do would be to apologize and try to mediate whatever disputes they set off.

....but why? It's just fandom, and it's so much fun to watch! People who get their panties in a twist over fandom deserve the sting that comes from their disputes.

And I say this as someone who has been involved in quite a few silly flamewars. Fandom wank is kind of like drinking too much: it's fun, it's understandable, I don't plan on stopping any time soon, but it's stupid and I deserve the hangover.

try it again!

Fail? I call it a win. I wish I could have that kind of success rate.

DO IT AGAIN. You owe it to the world of fandom and to trolls and popcorn-passers everywhere. If you have the ability to do this, you must use it! With great power comes great responsibility!

"Entice a user to share her opinion"

Why didn't you just ask her?

Oh, this kind of stupidly cute. I hope this secret is true, because someone accidentally starting a wank by same anoning all over themselves is kind of hilarious. "This isnt what I wanted!"

Holy fuckballs, David Tennant has an impossibly awesome face. And hair. And a widow's peak I never really noticed before now. And two screencaps in one secret batch! It's my lucky day. *right click saves*

Kinda OT on your OT, but can I just say how pleased I was watching Spies of Warsaw to see a.) that they did something different with his hair, not that it really suited him, but it was a change and b.) that Coky Giedroyc RESTRAINED HIM FROM PLAYING WITH HIS HAIR. Hallelujah!

(Anonymous) 2013-04-20 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't believe by any chance that you are werewolf, do you?

Lmao.

For what it's worth, you may have started the argument, but it was other folks' fault that they escalated it and argued with each other. They have only themselves to blame if they pissed other people off.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-21 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I have to agree with this secret, because I know people who are the same way. I think what OP might be saying ere is that their friend is using fandom to avoid the real world. And even if they're not, being over-obsessed is still a problem. What if someone only talked about sports all day, or fashion? Both of those things could be considered hobbies, but (for the average person) they're not lifestyles. Fandom is the same way. People get sucked into this idea that it's okay for their whole life to revolve around fandom when that level of fixation is actually really unhealthy.

Oops, wrong post.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-21 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
My mistake.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-21 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
that actually happened to me as well OP. just made what i thought was an innocuous comment on a post, someone replied disagreeing, someone else replied angrily to them and then there was 700 comments in the post.

best to just sit back and be amazed at what you wrought

Well, that sucks I guess, but it sounds like you weren't directly responsible for people forming grudges against each other. If you're just trying to get someone to share and opinion, and others start fighting over it instead, there's not much you can do about that. It's the kind of thing that tends to happen sooner or later, you just accidentally helped it along. That's all.
