Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm all for disagreeing, no worries. :D I know what you mean, I really do like some aspects of the fandom more than the series itself; people've made jokes out of some things that I personally find hilarious. But when it's excessive, like it's become on fandomsecrets (at least from my own perspective), I can't help but want to hide my face.

I'll keep liking what I like, and I'm not going to complain about anyone who likes something else, I just feel as though most of the secrets I see these days are...trying for too much publicity and attention? If that makes sense.

Yeah, it's just a shame when I hear a sensible-seeming fan like yourself discussing 'pulling-out' of liking the series just because of some bad fans! Even if bad fans rose-up and bred like rabbits, I can't imagine doing anything more than just pulling out of the unlikeable parts of the fandom.

And only one other thing: I'm supposing that 'trying for too much publicity/attention' with your secrets makes less sense to me 'cause they're being posted anonymously? I can see someone trolling the comments for ones pertaining to their secrets [as I am: my secret's actually NOT DN related, BTW XD] or just making-up a secret hoping to stir-up some wank, but most of the DN secrets I see are just opinions that you'd get attacked for having 'cause they're sappy, personal or something like that: secrets precisely because they're the sorta' thing your fellow DN fans would hate you for. =3=; Like, I like Matt: I've liked him ever since he was nothing more than three panels and 5 words in the manga! But it's considered very faddy/unhip/STUPID to like Matt nowadays in the fandom, which is kinda' lame, so I don't talk about loving him often....

XD;; ANYWAY, yeah. sorry for the tl;dr!

(deleted comment)

AGREED AS HELL on the DN mun RP secrets. =A= RPing is so personal, I think it barely counts as a 'fandom' in this context...

And YES, +friend! :D

Oh, don't even get me started on Matt. I like him, too. I don't understand all the hate circulating around about him; I mean, sure he doesn't have much character to base him off of - that's something that appeals so much to a fan. But have you seen what some people have done with characters who actually DO have content to back them up? It's more than a little hypocritical.

I mean to say that I see a lot of these secrets as unnecessary. Maybe the poster enjoys seeing the disagreeing flames or agreeing comments, or maybe the poster just wants to get their opinion out. But a lot of it can be painfully repetitive, too. I'm not talking about just today's secrets; I've kept up with all the ones that have shown up in the past. And I really believe there are topics touched in those secrets that have either a) already been discussed too many times before, or b) can easily be discussed elsewhere. (i.e. in their own journal, unless they have something against their f-list, which would suck. D:)

Also, it's not so much the amount of fandom secrets as it is the, ah, RPing secrets which I've been disappointed about. Everyone's so worked up about it, even though it's really not that big of a deal. :[ There's so much drama, sometimes I wonder why they continue to drag it out/add to it/instigate it/inflate the whole mess by posting secrets/etc. I'm not generalizing here, either; I'm sure there are plenty of sensible DN RPers out there who know just what I'm talking about it.

AND DON'T WORRY XD; ♥ I've been teeming to get all of this out for a while, so thanks for listening

OOOOH yeah, the DN-RP secrets are kind of gay. The RP secrets overall are kind of more personal than I think fits with fandom!secrets, actually. There should be a community called 'RP!secrets' with all of the results that pop-up here, right? [there may actually be one already, not sure, but I think it'd be funny if there already is and still people haunt this place 'cause it's more popular.] The double-ups I think... eh, maybe they're hard for the Fandom!Secrets mods to keep track of? I'd think that they'd be logged under 'repeat!secrets' at this point.

=A= And TOTALLY, dude, sensible Matt lovers unite! ♥

I agree. Not sure if there is one, but it'd be a good idea anyway. I like reading them sometimes, but a lot of the time it's just...eh, not too fun. XD;

I don't think they'll filter them as repeats unless they're the same picture/font/exact words, that kind of thing. The general idea doesn't matter. But who knows.

Total love. ♥

...and your icon rocks. XDb

oh btw I'm going to add you back, if that's alright.

KLDKFS I NOTICED YOU WENT TO DREYFOOS HOLY CRAP IS THIS TRUE

I think I just died h-holy crap ♥

D: YES I went to Dreyfoos! Did/do you too?!?!? WHO ARE YOU

*demands being made, yes*

I GO THERE NOW IOKLSKDFS

this is awesomeeeee ♥

:D AWESOME! What year are you? Commie, Visual Kid, WHAT??? Do you know Gracey/marvel_esque?? She's a Visual senior there ATM and another friend through 'Death Note/OMG you go to my old HS???' kind of situations. :D GOOD TIMESA!

I was a fairly lack-luster Visual kiddo myself. I'm attending SCAD/Savannah College of Art and Design right now for Sequential Art.

Commie sophomore. XD; haha, no I don't know her but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out. she DOES sound familiar, actually. it's pretty ironic, though. XD WHAT ARE THE CHANCES.

I saw that. sdklkfs so cool~
