Insensitive People in fandom.

Dec 31, 2008 10:52

Goodness, I sure didn't want to this to be my last post of the year. But, I'm really getting tried of people being insensitive towards other people feelings. Especially in different fandom all over the internet. Since my very first day I surfed the internet  in 1998, I have always been involved in many fandoms over the years. Some have die out than ( Read more... )

*high fives Megumi*

I love your post and so agree with everything you just said. I've only been active in fandoms for about a year and I've witness those things, but tried really hard to never get involved in those things. I think people get really worked up about their ships, which is fine, but not at the expense of being decent to each other.

*hugs* Thank you for the shoutout on the Chamber, you truly are a steller member and you made that archive better just with your presence. Thank you for supporting the writers on the site and just being an all around awesome person.

Happy New Year lady!

I agree with everything you said TBG. So you only witness a year of fandom battles. You are so lucky. I seen so many battles over the years that I don't know who are the worst. Anime/animation fans, primetime/daytime fans, or comicbook fans. You don't have to get nasty about your dislikes, just state why you dislike somethig and move on. Oh and don't go in a thread that is for the fans of a certain paring, character, or fandom and start some mess. If you dislike/hate someone or something so much, why are you all in threads that are prasing the thing you dislike/hate the most?!? Opps, I ranting again aren't I so sorry.

Thank-you for the enjoying me as a member at the Chamber board. I really enjoyed it there and I can't wait to see what the next year brings. So Happy New Year to you as well. :D

All I can say is I know how you feel. That stuff gets so old so quickly and it's hard not to get drawn into some petty, back and forth. I'm glad you like the Chamber. There are some people that love a good fight but I'm not one of them. I don't think many people on the board is. I havent' posted on a big board in forever for that very reason. Probably won't anytime soon.

Anyway, Happy New Year Megumi!

I so agree about petty back and forth stuff Black. To tell you the truth, I can't stand for people to argued. So when I see it on boards I tend to back away or stay quiet. Though it hard at time to do so. Oh we all have beem drawn in a silly argument every now and then, yet sometimes you need to be the bigger person and just walk away or in the cast of message boards, just stop typing and/or visting the boards. Oh, I so enjoy the Chamber and I can't wait to see what happens in the new year. So Happy New Year you as well. :D

*HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS* Unfortunately with how easy it is the access the Internet, it means that even immature idiots with no business going near a computer are able to go online and post whatever they want. Also with anonymity, people seem to think that they can just be royal jerks - though really, the Internet is NOT anonymous. You really have to try pretty hard to be lol.

Anyway, I want to wish you a Happy New Year as well. May you have more awesome writings to share with us, and a wonderful upcoming year! :)

*HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS BACK* Chibi-chan. Exactly Chibi-chan!!! ICAM. You know we been through our share of WTF moments in some message boards. I still can't believe that some people really think that they can get away with rude and crazy behavior and you are so right about the internet is not anonymous. But you can't tell some people that sometimes. You have a Happy New Year Chibi-chan!!
