Re: Sheltered fan rant

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god thank you. You have no idea what kind of relief I felt just reading that.

You are 10000% correct with the feeling of not being able to let go of something after you just shut off the show, because it's something you'll always remember having gone through. But I totally understand people being uncomfortable hearing about my actual rl experiences.

And I'm glad that I'm not alone feeling this, or that I'm stupid or wrong for feeling alone to begin with. Thank you for understanding, it makes me feel better.

(Side note: while this wasn't the fandom I was thinking of earlier, the one time my crap experiences came in use and was well received was when I wrote a meta series for SPN about the guys growing up poor and how that influenced how they acted, and what they liked, and what they wore and how they lived. Which drew a bunch of other folks who lived like that, which was what helped them relate to SPN, and were so glad to see that they weren't alone. So that was a nice experience.)

Wow-- I had no idea about this reaction being pretty standard. Makes me feel a bit less like a douche for reacting the way I have been.

I can totally understand about how people might feel like they're being trivialized when someone comes out with something objectively more traumatic/difficult to deal with. I really don't mean to do that at all, or have that effect, I really just want to share something about my life and how maybe it can happen irl, and maybe help others understand what might the characters be feeling.

I mean personally, I know all too well what it feels like to have your experiences downplayed or ignored in the interest of others comfort, or as an adaptive response to deal with the shit as you're living with it, so I wouldn't want other people to ever feel like their experiences don't matter. I would just like for them to understand that having experienced some things does not put them on the same level as these characters,

And thank you again; I mean, I know the idea is that everyone has a hard path to hoe, but I'm also glad I'm not a bad person for being frustrated with people's lack of perspective. I'm glad that it's okay to be upset.

(Especially with the fandom I've been tooling around in, the whole being poor has a myriad of terrifying implications that are just not a problem in more affluent circles.)
