If you want to talk about something, talk about it. Make people interested. Fandom isn't going to just read your mind and cater to you.

This is condescending to the nth degree, typical of someone who likes fandom overwhelmed by shipping or whatever that is overwhelmingly in the majority.

Maybe the ratio of shipping versus other stuff should be reversed to see how the shoe fits on the other foot. Talk all you want about something you want to see more of and face the resounding silence.

So, what?

Everyone else should talk about something they don't want to talk about to make that person happy?

No, but it's incredibly frustrating to when you're interested in a certain topic but most of people discussing it are interested in an the one aspect you have have none in.

If that is the biggest frustration you have in your life, you are a very fortunate person.

It's exactly the same problem if you don't ship the popular ships. Eg, I love BBC Sherlock but have no interest in Sherlock/John except as friends. Yet the shippy stuff for them is all over the internet.

You just have to find the people that are interested in your take and not follow the others. Perhaps I'm missing something here. Do you not want to do the work involved - finding people, starting your own comm or tumblr? That's what rarepair/rare fandom fans do and it's not really that overwhelming. (I approach it like solving an interesting puzzle.)

I do feel like I'm missing the argument. Why are you annoyed that other people like something you don't?
