Well, that's just it. I DON'T think people should be looking down on you or calling you a fake fan. And I don't believe anyone in this thread thinks that.

This thread isn't about Confess Your Totally Justified Reasons For Acting Snobby. It's about Confess Your Dumb Petty Reasons For Wanting To Act Snobby. That's a very different thing.

As civilized people, we repress our urges to be cruel, to be snobby, to be selfish and petty and awful. Because they're unkind, because we cannot fully know the story of the person we want to look down upon, because we are as flawed and fallible as anyone else, and respecting our fellow creatures is the only way we can have a civilization.

But beneath all that lies the unspoken word, the uncurled lip, the buried bastard at the heart of every one of us. And sometimes it's fun to, in a private and harmless way, speak the words we'd never say to someone's face. We can't exorcise our demons of fannish gatekeepery, but we can put a leash on them and exercise them in the yard a little bit. If we don't, they might go mad, and nobody wants that.

Well if you're going to say that it's okay for you to be mean and snobby just because you admit that it's petty, expect people to not be okay with that.

I'm going to be mean now and say that your pretentious and condescending phrasing made me roll my eyes. "They might go mad"? Are we in a Victorian novel now?

The problem, honey, is not my writing, it's your reading. Or lack thereof.
