Linking, yet again: Your Friends Are Not Watching The Same Show You Are And That's Okay.

I don't assume that my reading is the One True Right One, and if we disagree, we disagree. Squee or anti-squee. Whatever.

I don't insult your intelligence. Please don't insult mine.

oh fandom

SO hilarious. And yeah, I've been on both sides of this, and don't give a hang if someone disliked it.

I'm remembering a post after the S5 finale on how if you disliked it you were watching the show wrong.

We're all doing it wrong!

I say we have a parade in our honor!

I love this. They are so silly. I love the change in Misha's face and Jensn's grin.

I hadn't read the article before but I like it a lot. I'll have to bookmark it

I read a very passionate post about why the episode sucked and I couldn't deny some of what she said, but I didn't agree overall. I was okay with reading it because she didn't insult those who did like it. At least, I don't think she did. I won't go back to check. My reasoning since last season is to keep my reading of fandom response to those I know who are honest in their assessments and are reasonable in stating them. I love to be forced to look at something differently or even to look at myself differently because I can see the problems being stated and am still okay with the episode. Just don't insult me while you do it. My cautious approach makes me less angry.

They are very silly, and I love them for it.

That article has saved my sanity many times.

Yes! Yes, exactly! My issue is not that people disliked it and I've had several great conversations or read posts that disliked it that didn't insult anyone's intelligence. They didn't like it and here's why and that's that.
