Re: ITT: People missing the point

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not the OP, but I like to hear about other people's OCs. So, uh, yeah.

"They would probably rather discuss canon characters."

Which sucks. Sometimes I want to talk about scenarios where Random Persons #984583850 in the universe because it's a great way to explore the lore. If I wanted nothing but the canon characters, I'd be watching or reading it instead of fucking talking about it. I mean, you can only rehash the same conversations about canon characters so many times!

THIS

I lose interest in canon characters fast- you can talk about and analyze them only so much, but another person's pov on a universe and on the canon characters can be fascinating and an OC is the perfect vehicle for this.

If I wanted canon characters I'll watch the show or read the book. I don't expect fanfic writers to provide that service for me.

1. Make peace with the fact most people in fandom don't think like you, that they enjoy the source material differently and that it's pointless to try and show them how "wrong" and "boring" they are.

I mean, REALLY make peace with it.

2. Join or create a space for fans who think like you with clear, strictly enforced rules about OC hate.

OOOO, condescending advice! Feel better now? *pats head*

Other people having different viewpoints keep you awake at night?
Awwwww, sorry. That sounds like a personal problem to me.

I'm too busy having fun.

I think I'm going to frame this drivel on the wall and have a good laugh every time I see it.

Not really. I'm not the one who wrote this secret and is overly sensitive about the unpopularity of my fannish preferences.

Oh, btw, I'm not the OP, just to clue you in on things. OP is angry, I am not. I have my fun space.

Yeah, I posted something on Tumblr, about OCs, properly cut and tagged and everything. And some asshole tried this "We don't talk about OCs, fanfic, yadda, yadda. On. Fucking. Tumblr. My own blog with the right tags. I've seen this happen to my friends, too. On their own private journals, even.

Uh, sorry, It doesn't work that way. You may not like someone else's viewpoint cluttering your pristine view of your favorite canon pairing, or their pathetic little OC polluting public space, but they have a right to public space, too.

I suggest you sit down and deeply acquaint yourself with concepts like freedom of speech, or equivalent concepts in the free world. And to learn to accept that other people may have different perspectives and preferences. Even if they aren't in the majority.

Yeah, OP's secret was kinda hard to read, but I think this is what they were talking about.

Man, whatta an attitude.

I usually love my canon characters, but I do understand that some people love the canon universe, and maybe they want to explore different people in that universe. It isn't MY version of fandom, but I don't understand why people are saying it ISN'T fandom. It is - it's just that someone is more interested in the world than the characters that inhabit it.
