Urgh, that ill-mannered LJ user is back

Remember last year I posted a pic spam about Terminator Salvation in which, in my usual manner I extolled the virtues of the Marcus character while bagging out the John Connor character even though I usually like Christian Bale? I couldn't help it, poor John Connor was just such a blah character in that movie and outshone by Marcus

Yes, she's very rude and the dissing of Ryan has nothing to with his race. He's just frequently stupid - albeit well-meaning. I still think it was atrocious that he didn't tell Val the truth earlier - I get that he was scared of losing her, but I think she was entitled to know about the nature of what was happening to her own body and to make decisions on the basis of that. He risked her life back then by not telling her. For instance, if she'd known about things earlier - she probably wouldn't have met the fate that she has. See how I try to discuss this without giving away too many spoilers :D

As to other rude people, I couldn't believe rpowell's response to this post. Actually I believe it, it reminds me of when I first started shipping Apollo/Sharon and how much grief I got about that :P It's funny, I really thought that these days, non-canon ships and crackpot ships were all the rage :D

That rpowell person was also pretty rude here as well. People have been squeeing about Joshua since he first showed up.

I've probably been silly and provoked the person by replying to them, so.
No dear, your reply was very tactful and polite as always - unlike the posts of some others :P

They are gunning for a race issue, Koala. See here. I don't know if I'll reply because they just want a fight - and that's definitely not what fandom is for.

I remember the grief you got about Apollo/Sharon! That was a good pairing (I shipped it!), but people were so unaccepting (who knows why? it's not as though it even damaged their ships). I'm glad you replied to that rpowell person on that picspam. She has no right to be ruining someone else's fannish squee (I'm working on a Joshua/Lisa picspam and she can stay off THAT).

Thanks :).

Okay, THAT'S IT. I'm not happy.

[koalathebear]

I know :P And as you know, I'm WAY way way older than you are so I'm even less thrilled at being described in that way :D Although perhaps it's a compliment?

I'm going to steer clear of people like her - I've had my enjoyment of a fandom ruined by toxicity in the past and I'm enjoying my V/Joshua/Anna/Lisa love too much right now to want to spoil it. I hope the mods intervene and say that people should squee and let squee, ship and let ship and enjoy and let enjoy ...

Well, I've recently been saying to inner self that I don't like turning 23, so maybe the world is listening? ;)

Yes, I hope the mods get involved, too. I just hope it doesn't discourage people from posting picspams etc.
