...that moment when a fandom acquaintance you thought was cool, intelligent and likeable, bashes not just a character you like, but the character's fans as a whole.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, nobody's perfect, as the millionaire said to the jazz musician.

[herpymcderp]

...Why would you even care? Are you twelve?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh fuck off, all I've seen you do is put down people for having opinions about or caring about things. It's not childish to feel a little hurt when a friend bashes you for something.

Personally I think your actions are childish and immature "lol people caring about stuff, or having opinions I don't like...what babies".

[herpymcderp]

Thanks for the top lol.

[sarillia]

It would bother me and I'm not twelve. People don't need to justify being hurt by someone insulting them.

[herpymcderp]

It's not insulting them though, it's insulting some character?

[sarillia]

They said they insulted the character and the fans of the character, which includes the OP.

I mean, it's not like they're insulting some intrinsic part of their identity (I'm not trying to overstate this whole thing), but they can still get upset about it. It's still an assholish thing for someone to do to insult people just because they happen to like a character that you don't.

[herpymcderp]

Yes, exactly. And beyond that it's a moronic generalization that illustrates pretty clearly that that person is a gigantic butthole. Maybe it's just me, but my MO in that situation is to laugh at them and take them off my friends list.

[sarillia]

For me it depends on the character. There are some that I love because I really identify with them and I take it too personally when people insult them and the people like me who like them. I can admit that I probably shouldn't care so much, but that's just how it goes. I can sympathize with other people who react the same way.

[herpymcderp]

Fair enough. Perhaps I am just a soulless shell of a person with no emotions. ;p

Given your name I'd say you are a troll that think they're clever.

Maybe you should learn to read.

Sounds like the OUAT Swan Queen drama going on right now.

[elaminator]

Oh no...not more ONCE drama. What exactly is going on? (I'm two episodes behind and try to stay away from the fandom on tumblr. When I can help it.)

[writerserenyty]

One of the dwarves, Michael Coleman (Happy) was doing a Q&A when someone asked him about Swan Queen (for some reason). He didn't really take kindly to this and after a couple of tweets said "It's funny how rude the #SnowQueen fans have become. It's noticed by all cast. Jen & Lana included. Doesn't look good on you"

At this point Jennifer Morrison and Lana Parilla were like "woah woah woah, don't talk for us, we love the Swan Queen fans" and Adam Horowitz (one of the creators) basically was like "we appreciate the fandom on the show, not cool man." Then Michael Coleman started complaining about being bullied.

So it's a fairly minor shitstorm going on.

[elaminator]

Were the fans rude to him, or was he just irritated by the question? If it's the former I don't entirely blame him for speaking his mind, but if it's the latter he should probably get over it. He has a good job, and you gotta appreciate your fans.

[writerserenyty]

It was kind of weird because he was like "it's not a ship" and the fans were like "uh, no it's a ship, but one that's not canon on the show" and there was some miscommunication, I think. A couple of people were rude, but he also blocked people who were being fairly civil.

[elaminator]

Hum...that's odd. Someone should've had the fandom talk with him by now, and it's kind of disappointing that happy didn't take things better. :(

Not that I don't get being annoyed by a question like that (if it's the only thing being asked, anyway), but at the same time it IS a job, and even if you don't particularly like it, it should be easy enough to be civil about it.

There was this one author that wrote lovely stories and I even enjoyed her rare personal entries, but she had the sad habit of bashing this one character in everything she did. I don't know why she did it. The character wasn't even integral to the plot of most of her stories, but she was always included and always bashed and OOC. After awhile it started to really get to me and I couldn't enjoy her fic the same way.

[(Anonymous)]

I know the feeling. Lesson learnt: don't expect more than what you see.
