You know, I don't think anyone has a problem with being positive about things. But there's a bunch of negativity out there, and that's... not why I'm in fandom. If I'm gushing about something I enjoy, and someone comes in and craps all over it, I'm not going to appreciate it. If you come in, agree with me that it's awesome, and add the perspective that it speaks to you personally because Reasons, that's fine. :)

Also, I share your love for How to Train Your Dragon.

I've just come across too many people who respond to someone gushing over a book for the "wrong" reasons by sneering about how it sounds like something the SJWs on Tumblr would love, so I get a bit nervous about talking about this stuff even when I'm being positive. Doesn't stop me but I do hesitate sometimes.

there was fucking negativity in fandom before social justice supposedly became a thing, though. it's disingenuous, at best, to pretend those ~SJW cunts~ came in and pissed all over your shiny happy fandom.

Yeah I feel people forget how negative LJ was.

Case in point, sf_drama. It quickly became SJW_CircleJerk with members even going so far as to notify mods of other communities that one of their members had done something "unPC" however long ago (even if they'd already apologized), and to ~be careful and keep an eye~ on that member!

Ooooh sf_drama. Didn't Riley start there?

Nt to mention the non SJ negativity, like fail-fandomanon, the HP wank (BNF wars and msscribe anybody???), etc. I don't know why people have such huge rose colored glasses when it comes to LJ.

Because at least the wanks then were actually fandom-related, and the trolls didn't go far, far, out of their way to make the objects of their hatred miserable IRL by costing them their jobs for saying something stupid (or even for not saying anything at all, only something the SJWs deemed evil) off the company clock, or following them around everywhere they posted and (as pointed out above) "warning" others against them.

Wat, msscribe alone hurt a lot of people. And that was just one troll. Drama in LJ was constant and it didn't end at fandom.

I know Tumblr/SJW are the current boogeyman of fandom, but this is getting ridiculous.

Yep, well, I avoided those people too.

This is an excellent point.
