3. I wrote porn and only like 4 or 5 people ended up reading it. But I still like it. :3

39. I think part of the reason why so much of fandom gets so up in arms is because they're insecure. People who are insecure IRL for one reason or another flock to the internet and start getting defensive (or offensive) when someone doesn't like what they like, because they're afraid of being disliked/looked down upon for liking said thing. Then again, I just base this on personal experience, so I could be completely wrong.

In regards to 39, I think you're sort of right. the problem here is that you're implying that a certain type of person tends to be drawn to fandom, so to speak. And that might upset people, though I don't disagree.

I'm into some nerdy shit (including cosplay), and I'm big into fandom. But I'm, personally, willing to take the slings and arrows from people completely unfamiliar with the subculture in stride. Though I don't think that means I'm an entirely secure person (though I try).

I think I'm rambling now. Haha. I don't know, maybe it's just easier to take a much stronger, "I'm right, you're wrong" stance on things on the internet, because you don't have to talk to people face to face. It's easier to type to a screen that someone should go "Die In A Fire" than it is to seriously tell someone that in person.

Imagine if people really acted in every day life how they do online in fandom? Heaven forbid.
