Re: Is having a mental disorder or no life a requirement for fandom, now?

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Man, I'm on fucking tumblr too, and I'm like a self-loathing tumblr user in an entrenched state of denial about it haha. But yeah, this with the no-sharing names or whatevs was exactly how it was done as I was coming up through fandom, and you really only shared the crappy stuff in your life with people whom you knew and were allowed into your fandom space like this little inner sanctum of internet circles. The rest of everybody else got to see your Beastmaster fics and carried on thinking you were a relatively normal person.

Wait hold on. I take it back.

Tumblr culture is awesome, because you get to see who's whiny and/or crazier than a sack of cats before you get to be friends with them, because they plaster it all over their site!

Before, you got to be friends through a fandom venue like a comm and you think they're pretty nice and thoughtful, and then BAM you have someone gibbering and dribbling out of multiple orifices and you're like "THIS IS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR". Now on tumblr, everyone disclaims their crazy! To the finest detail! So there's no possible way you could mistake them for being even remotely functional.

Oh godbless, tumblr. Shine on you crazy star. Thank you for making it so that normal people know when to flee like the dickens. :D

I am trying and failing to embrace Tumblr - failing mostly because I still don't get it and I have little patience for Tumblr bullshit, so I end up mostly popping in once every few days and that is apparently not how you do Tumblr. There's also my general refusal to bog down my browser with add-ons, which are apparently necessary to make the damn site work in the first place which - what? -_-

So there's no possible way you could mistake them for being even remotely functional.

One of the things that boggles my mind most are kids, high school and college, who will spend hours and hours a day on Tumblr and then whine when their parents cut down their Internet access time because their grades started slipping. Please note, cut down, not cut off - these kids can still spend hours a day on Tumblr, it's just a few hours less because, y'know, school is kind of important? I get complaining about the situation, no one likes their funtimes being sliced away, but acting as if your family is oppressive and tyrannical because of that is just plain...wtf. Especially when everyone else starts to sympathize and end up effectively encouraging these kids to become total failures because of some mystical special snowflake status I have yet to understand.

And yeah, I probably should have seen this coming from this particular friend from miles away. She's friends with someone who once insisted that I must be lying about the fact my father generally gives me some spending money for school because I also do side-jobs for extra cash. Apparently, it doesn't make sense that a college student - who's previously worked two jobs at once and who expects to be living on her own in a few years - would want to start taking steps towards self-sufficiency, however small those steps may be for now. Also, the fact that my dad will ask me what I need it for if I ask for extra money is some kind of unruly obstacle meant to guilt trip me into being under his tyrannical financial thumb or something. /still doesn't get it

I told that person that I considered my life pretty easy compared seeing as, while I would like to work for my money, I don't have to yet...and then I flat out said that if she considers my life to be difficult based on what I'd said, then her life was probably easy as fuck and involved living on clouds or something and that she was going to be screwed when she hit the grown-up world.

I think I did myself good in stopping that friendship before it could start. Apparently, though, I should have kept pruning.
