F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

Mklutz and Pru (rageprufrock) are the hosts, and while they can be on the ball with the older fandoms they are familiar with (Stargate, Merlin, SPN, etc.) and participated in, not so much with current shows or fandom trends. Little things like confusing kink memes and anon memes as hate memes that are out to get them, and the heteronormative lens that eliminates any realisation that fandom is not just straight girls (m/f being more romantic than m/m ofc. f/f? what is that?).

They will have a show about the video games, "which games are good for girls to play and aren't just mediocre sports games," and basically forego the entirety of video game fandom because neither is in video game fandom. At least they bring in a BL game fan and player for the topic of BL games, and they did rec Glitch.

A Teen Wolf episode in which it's actually a Sterek episode, and nobody actually watches the show but feels very qualified to speak as representatives of fandom as a whole already anyway.

It's the general authority that bothers me the most. A fan, or more than one, set up an email account for others to anonymously email questions. When people began to use the account to talk to each other, MK and Pru felt the need to tell them they shouldn't do so in case it becomes an anon meme. Since they are apparently mods of a fan-created email account by association.

They just bug me.
