Respect in Fandom

[writefiction]

So I just read a journal entry that kinda pissed me off. It was about respect in fandom. A fandom in which I was heavily involved in too. I know that I started the drama I was involved in, but where was my respect after I apologized? Yeah, I apologized and it got me nowhere. There were things said and done to me that made me feel it wasn't even

I didn’t write this post to start a pissing match…

Sorry to tell you this, but you did. I’m pretty much an outsider to all of this bullshit (though I’ve been filled in on most of the details), and even I can tell that it was your whole intent.

You need to grow the fuck up. You are more than old enough to realise that not everything in fandom is about you (yes, I just checked your userinfo - get the fuck over it). Not only do you stir up a fuckload of drama, but your post is completely passive-aggressive.

So what if you don’t like something that a writer has chosen to expend their creative energies on? I don’t like hancest, and I don’t like smut. Do I bitch and moan about that particular dislike? No, I do not. I keep it under my hat, and I don’t click on links to stories that are either hancest or smut. And if someone links me to that kind of story, I tell them I prefer not to read stories of that nature and I MOVE THE FUCK ON.

I am often quite ashamed to call myself a Hanson fan. A good many other fans, including those I choose to associate with, know how to behave themselves. Others don’t. And you so happen to fall in the latter category. As for respect, you have not a shred of it for others. You would not have made this post, or chosen to insult a very good friend of mine, if you did.

I repeat: GROW THE FUCK UP. Act your age for once in your life, not your fucking shoe size. Immaturity is not becoming in the least.

and who the fuck are you? I don't even know you so why the hell are you commenting on my journal?

One of shewasred's friends - and that's all I'm about to tell you.

And I have every right to comment if I choose to. You posted this as a public entry. If you didn't want all and sundry coming to tear you a new one, maybe you should have been intelligent for once in your life, and made it friends only. *smiles sweetly*

Oh, and banning my journal from commenting? That's REALLY fucking mature. *eyeroll* Fucking grow a pair, would you?

It's more mature than you finding a way around it
