I feel this way about any kind of fandom thing that people claim "changed their life."

[(Anonymous)]

Fandom taught me that the world wouldn't always be, more or less, secretly repulsed by my sexuality or the slightest mention of it and yes, I did in fact want a girlfriend. Name one other space where queerness is as expected and not worth commenting on as journal fandom.

My college.

It's a women's college.

[fleshisyummy]

Huh. I got to a women's college as well, and that hasn't been my experience.

[(Anonymous)]

judging by your comment here and the ones in the thread above I think you might be in the wrong place

[arrowslinging]

jesus christ, you really are on your high horse about people being invested in fandom, aren't you?
fandom helped me cope with my sexuality. fandom is infinitely more accepting of my mental disorders than the other people in my life. fandom helps me express myself creatively in a way that was mostly stifled by my school and work place. fandom meta and analysis taught me a great deal about feminism and social justice.
i made a number of incredibly tight friends that i wouldn't have met without fandom, friends that can cope with my social anxiety and ticks the way no other person before did, not even my family.
just because you personally haven't experienced it doesn't mean that it's pathetic or depressing when people do. how is fandom any different from any other group experience like a church or what have you that normally changes peoples' lives? expand your fricking horizon.

I feel sad for you

[arrowslinging]

you feel sad for me because i have amazing friends that i continually do fun stuff with and because films made me realise that making films is what i want to do with my life? ok. i feel sad for you tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

you should probably stop coming here. because anyone who is invested enough to have fandom-related SECRETS are exactly the type of people you hold yourself above. fuck off, we don't want you.

Actually, while I don't agree with bb's opinion nor the displayed attitude, this is still an open forum, which is why I'll say this:

You don't speak for 'us', there's no rule here preventing dissenting opinions.

Also to be extra obnoxious: If you don't like it, learn from it. Diversity, it's real.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

They may not speak for the hivemind, but is there anyone out there who doesn't wonder why people are in fandom when they seem really disdainful over everything that entails? I'm curious as hell myself.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not. But then, I don't really worry about that sort of thing.

this is a song written about abraham lincoln for his death using les miserables as a theme

but fiction being an important cultural touchstone is clearly bullshit so we better chuck this one out. thanks for enlightening us here on fandomsecrets bored_bitch

[(Anonymous)]

If it's not real, it's not important. God forbid we get attached to characters while reading. Oh wait, that means we're clearly way too emotional and have some kind of mental problem.

[(Anonymous)]

Why comment so much on fandom stuff and thought processes if you don't care about them that much?

[(Anonymous)]

For a person who posts on FandomSecrets, you certainly seem anti-fandom. Like, first you go on and on about not empathizing with characters when that is HUGE part of why fandom is so prolific, then you pity people whose lives have been changed by fandom.

I'm just not understanding your angle here today. If you're a part of a fandom, you know how intense it can be. Fandom is the only good thing some people have. Some kids come from bad homes, they have no friends in school, they have little personal freedom...fandom is a GOOD thing. Yet you seem to be putting a lot of energy into minimizing it's impact.
