Re: ITT: People missing the point

I'm not saying that people have to show interest in OC discussion threads, I'm saying that they do have space in a general fandom community, like most of anything else relating to the lore. Say someone goes to a star wars comm and makes an individual post like the one the poster below me linked to. People wrote about their own OCs and no one complained; that's what the OP is arguing in favor of.

But it's disingenuous to think that politeness norm, or like no one who has interest in OCs hasn't had some jerk come to them and remind them that all OCs suck or something.

Take this other thread for example http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/876886.html?thread=684870998#cmt684870998

where even if anons had something positive to say, they still felt like they had to preface their comments with "Some OCs suck!" or "I only like them if they're super well-written. It's like, yeah, we know that; it's like everything else. You don't have to give me the OC equivalent of 'no homo' in every OC thread.

I do think the OP could try to form an OC-specific community and be happier for it, but it's not really fair that OC can't be mentioned in general fandom comms.

I would say they have the full right to do that if the poster is posting in a place where OCs are not the focus. If people don't like your original homemade car with the Honda tail-lights that you posted in the Honda enthusiast community, you're already starting off on the foot of "what is this doing here?"

Some people are going to go "that's a nice car, but this isn't for originals" or "I'm only interested in originals if they're super well-built" because the poster started a more or less tangential thread. Yes, they know that, yes, the poster knows that; so why did the poster post that there?

LOL. My parents are part of their local GWRRA Chapter. My dad even chaired the chapter for a few years. Custom jobs are common. Showing up with a bike from another company was acceptable. Until I had to sell my Yamaha, I got invites to their rides. I suspect the same is true of a fair number of vehicle fandoms where you have a healthy mix of restoration and customization.

Kinda funny how if someone doesn't care about a particular ship they can just skip right over it. But if someone starts a thread about say an idea of a story about daily life for someone in District 4 , it's pretty much expected that people not just skip over it but butt in and tell the poster "no one cares about your shitty sue" .
