NO U! NO U MOAR! BAWWWWWWW SOMEONE CONGRATULATE MY WHITE-KNIGHTING This entire fandom needs a thicker skin. I don't know if I've ever seen more than maybe 2 people respond to trolling/drama/negativity with a shrug and "whatever."
No, seriously, buck the fuck up. I think I've mentioned this before on
fandom_secrets but even if people abhor your fics and think that whatever subject material is stupid and should never be written about... so? So they'll dislike it. Maybe they'll mock it and put it on
tf_afts. Well, cry moar, if that's what helps I guess, but I can't see why it affects people so much. Why the hell would anyone ragequit over this stupid bullshit?
(And in case I look hypocritical because of my reaction to the review a couple posts back: it irritated me because it didn't make sense to me. I'm not about to quit writing that fic or change anything in it because of their opinion, or start a crusade calling them "mean" or a troll. That's the difference.)
No, seriously, deep down, no one gives a fuck. If you want to write giant alien robots having buttbabies, I will vomit in my mouth a little, I might even tell you that I'm doing that, but that doesn't mean "YOU STOP WRITING THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW" because really it doesn't matter if you do or not, and if Mary Sue OC sparkly robopregnancy makes you happy to write, go for it. Everyone knows I've written godawful shit in my past, it's still right there in my FFN profile. And then I got better, and now it's not as terrible as it was. Ta-da! Fucking magic.
I'm getting tired of all the fucking cry-babies in this fandom. It makes me want to go on a massive trolling spree. You think negativity is mean? You think petty back-stabbing is mean, and everyone is hiding behind anon? I don't give two shits about my online reputation (as I've proven before, for anyone who remembers), and if you want mean, petty, and shameless, I can oblige.
I won't. Not yet, anyway. Despite my apparent reputation, I've really only let loose on one person in my entire e-career, and that was after severe, personal provocation. So right now, the likelihood of me trolling the fandom at large is slim.
But you know what? I enjoyed that trolling I did. It was fun. Whatever the results of it, she did deserve it, and I enjoyed dishing back out what she couldn't take. Yeah, it was mean. I don't regret it. I'm sure there are still people who dislike me and avoid me because of it. You know what? I don't have any desire to know those people. Drake wussed out, though I suppose he can be credited with at least letting me know about it eventually, so kudos; and I'm pretty sure anyone who was tight-knit with Noa's group is never going to be amiable towards me.
It bothers me to this extent: "Well damn, that's unfortunate I guess."
Notice, my reaction is not: "I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON'T LIKE ME, I'M THE SWEETEST MOST AGREEABLE PERSON, LET ME RUN TO MY HUGBOX FOR SUPPORT"
If your sensibilities are so fragile, I judge you. You're probably an awesome person and everything, but holy crap I still judge you for being a sensitive snowflake. Not everyone will like you or what you do. The mature, intelligent thing to do? Go "thanks but fuck you I'm doing whatever I want to."
Ta-da! Fucking magic.
