it's okay not to love it slacky

but it's ridic to rage against the nerve of a fashion/pop culture mag to shop adam into an arty stylized form

it's like complaining that water is wet

but what if you don't have a problem with arty stylized shopping, you just don't think this was great arty stylized shopping?

lol i feel like the knee jerk STFU HE'LL NEVER BE YOUR RAWK GOD reaction to even entirely unrelated criticisms is kind of hilarious

sry it's hard to take ppl like that serious when they use words like 'doctored' snd 'enhancements' to describe those pics

and then @ reply adam and the magazine to complain

they sound out of touch, not just that they don't like the style~

i find it aggravating tbh

the intolerance to not 100% positive different opinions has always been present in the fandom, but not here and we used to point and laugh at that...

blondieee, i'm a little disappointed you and slacky seem to think it's about the dislike of the pics. it's not. it's about the fact these people are tweeting those involved in the shoot. there was an idiot online who tweeted shoshanna ffs.

the terminology doesn't help them though.

lol well i wasn't talking about that, obviously that's dumb, but someone in the previous thread about this just said they didn't like one of the pics and got jumped on

where?

if you're talking about the comment that used the word doctored, they just pointed out the word doctored isn't accurate and sounds legit like they watch too much csi and have no idea what they're actually talking about lol. albeit, in a much more succinct, though less nice way.

what isn't in wank? but the fact was their comment was directed at the word used, not the opinion contained in the tweet. js.

lol i was talking in general too tho, not just the photoshoot (i even liked it, except 1 pic)

since i'm not on twitter and i rarely go somewhere else to get my fandom fix, this comm is what i'm exposed to and it just happens a lot here lately

i just haven't seen anyone get ~attacked for saying they dislike the photoshoot. i haven't really seen it be discussed much at all, actually. the only time i've seen it was in response to peeps not liking it was tweeted to peeps involved so. yeah.

though even if you're talking generally, but using a fuzzy case study, your whole argument pretty much falls apart. hold it till it legit happens instead :3

wut? why is the boundary people being attacked? it's not just about that

when yesterday people framed the whole ATLR discussion about gay male popstarts as irrelevant just because there was 1 idiot with 1 stupid comment...it was aggravating to me even tho nobody was being attacked

i'm not using a fuzzy case study, it happens almost every day now whether it's online articles, photoshoots, opinions on music, singles etc etc

this comm has become oversensitive to negative opinions about Adam and i've been pointing it out for a long time now :3

tech it is a fuzzy case study in this instance cause no one was being attacked for an opinion, just the use of a specific word (and lbr that's not really an ~attack, it's just a silly meme peeps use). i don't disagree that peeps get jumped on for having differing opinions, but that wasn't the case here in particular, hence the fuzziness.

still, the wank post isn't here to cater to your (or my) opinions on things or deciding whether they deserve to be wanked about. a lot of stupid stuff gets wanked on. if you don't agree, comment about it, but no one is required to agree (i usually just keep tl;dring until i run out of words lol :3). personally, there have always been people in wank who are overly defensive, but that's just my opinion on it and they have the right to discuss their opinion too.

mostly i usually let wank fall where it wants, as long as it's not ott beyond civil discussion or obvs trolling.
