Mass Effect fandom had me all primed and ready to barely tolerate Ashley as a prejudiced conservative and worship the ground Kaidan walked on as an adorable nerdy idealist...and then I played the game. I made it five minutes before I wanted to shunt Kaidan out the nearest airlock, he had all the common sense of a turkey drowning in the rain, while I desperately wanted to gay romance Ashley and her down-to-earth practicality. Fandom gave me some seriously jacked-up ideas about how they actually behaved in-game.

I expected Twilight to be a lot worse, to the point that I was pleasantly surprised by how average it was. People go on and on about how it's such objectively atrocious writing and I'm just like...you people haven't read very many romance novels, have you. Compared to what saturates the market, Twilight is middle-class writing at worst. I've read some awful shit, man.
