F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

see, while on the one hand i totally feel you

on the other i'm like "goddammit why does it always end up having to be 'but [x] is a problem for guys too!'" when dudes don't have to put up with anywhere near as much flak for their harmless fandom interests

I don't understand. I'm not saying it's not a problem for Girls. I was just...

Nevermind.

i'm sorry for my kneejerk response

it's just i've seen so many guys bust into discussions about the problem with using "fangirl" derisively going "hey what about people using 'fanboy' as an insult, that's a sexist thing that's totally 100% equivalent to what you're talking about!!" and such that i get a little leery about it

No worries. I get it.
Sorry for getting so upset. I relly do need to learn to take things less personally. mea culpa.

hey, it's ok, really

it can be really hard not to take things personally

it's something i have a lot of difficulty with myself tbh

I was just trying to show some fannish solidarity.

I'm sorry

I really didn't mean anything by it.

i know, anon

i'm the one who's sorry for getting all defensive

i really should stop relying so heavily on poe's law, but i've badly burned several of the times that i haven't

No worries. I understand. I do need to google Poes Law though...
