2/3 of the teen wolf fandom is shitting themselves because Tyler Posey said negative stuff about St. Sterek. It's hilarious. What are your fandoms up to?

The new Thief game is very close to release and some of the more irrational elements of the fandom are frothing even more than they were a year ago. The moderators of the forum I go to have been working overtime to keep everyone in line -- though IMO if they would just get rid of one or two people it'd be a lot easier.

Why are they so upset?

It's a game made after 1999.

That's a simplification, but not much of one. Thief fandom is mostly a bunch of neo-luddites.

My fandom is being surprisingly quiet in spite of the JKR drama. Which is making me happy because I really didn't want the drama.

My Marvel fandom is busy squeeing over Captain America trailers and presumably will start squeeing over Guardians of the Galaxy as soon as the trailer aires tonight.

Doctor Who fandom is happy that it seems like series 8 will air sooner than expected (August instead of September). They are also squeeing over Guardians of the Galaxy on account of Karen Gillan.

The fact that there doesn't seem like there will be a split season is making fans even more happier.

Ohhhh, what did he say? I want to read the fuss.

Huh. I can see why people would be insulted by that. I'm not a Sterek shipper but I hate when people try to do the whole "you're not watching for the right reasons" or police how people should do fandom.

that is annoying but he's being called a homophobe which doesn't have much to do with the whole "policing fandom" thing. Which...he's also not doing, since he didn't say that people shouldn't ship it, just that there are way more important reasons to be watching.

Aw, man, on the one hand, I can see how some fans would be offended by that but on the other hand I can see how the actors on the show would be frustrated if they love their show's plot lines, want to discuss it with the fans but all the fans want to talk about is some non-canon pairing like it is true. Teen Wolf is basically a horror-comedy and I swear, there are fans out there who would love nothing more than to turn TW into a Twilight-type supernatural romance.

I guess we can all learn from this mess that you should never play along with the fans, like they did in the beginning: in the end it will always bite you in the ass.

Common closed season blues.

Guess I'm in the lucky 1/3 of fandom, and I follow quite a few Sterek blogs too! I've seen mention of the Posey thing once, and it was barely even 'drama'.

That has been entertaining. I've wondered when the cast will finally get fed up with the questions and just flat out state that they have no interest in the ship nor is it going to be canon. Not quite there yet, but getting close.

The best part have been the fans that are trying to push for a "mature" twitter campaign. Yeah, because whining on the official twitter is really mature.

Except the guy who plays Derek loves it, so....

Sadly, the Teen Wolf drama IS my fandom drama, but I'm staying out of it. I do think he should've phrased his comment differently though because there is no 'right' reason to watch anything (and let's be honest, how many people started watching TW because there were hot shirtless werewolves? obviously not everyone, but I'm betting for a not insignificant number of people that was the case; doesn't mean those people aren't still fans), but of course he doesn't have to like Sterek and is probably tired of hearing about it and being asked about it. *shrugs* In almost every interview I've watched Posey seems like an adorable ray of sunshine so I don't think he meant to insult, but yea, I get why some people feel offended.

(Didn't the interviewer ONLY ask about relationships, too? I found that odd. Like...what about the horror element of the show this season, or how good the writing is right now, or STILES, or just what we're going to see happen to their characters this season? I'm a huge shipper but...eh.)

Edited (accidentally a word) 2014-02-19 01:07 (UTC)

LOL. Teen Wolf wank.

Tyler didn't lie and he's probably tired as fuck about hearing about sterek and always getting shafted for some fan made pairing.

Sure he could have been more eloquent in the first gif, but it's not his prerogative to massage sterek fans egos when they already piss all over him and his character already. No wonder he doesn't feel the sterek love.

I swear the TW PR/socialmedia people are on a not-so-secret campaign to try and smash and belittle "Sterek" out of existence. They have turned oddly bitter and mocking of fandom this season, with a focus on slash and Sterek, and seem to set actors up for shit like this all the time. I mean why were they even asking him about it? It's completely bizarre.

Uh, yeah, so obviously my fandom drama is the TW fandom drama today.

As far as I'm aware, the Hannibal fandom is getting all excited about Season 2.

I don't really follow the tag on tumblr, so I'm blind to any negative drama.

Oh god work is making me miss teen wolf drama ?! D:

Oh, is that what they're complaining about? I'm just seeing backlash but no sources.

Eh. I'd be more bothered if I liked Scott or his actor, but I ignore them for the most part.

John Scalzi and Mary Kowal formed the insect army.

Does the Twitch Plays Pokemon stream count as a fandom? It sure feels like a fandom, what with people losing their shit over every single event. AND I LOVE IT~

It's only been around for a few days and it's basically spawned its own religion.

FFXIV: general extreme love or hate for the mi'qote/catpeople race. I've seen dumb drama over this. I could stand to see less of them, but what can you so.
