i have to say something

Feb 22, 2009 16:43

I got an anonymous comment and I need to address it. I've kept quiet about my feelings and tried to back off the mature way but even that causes a stir and upsets people, so I think I need to talk about it. And this isn't attacking the person who left the comment, either, so if you're seeing this, I just wanted you to know. And I wanted to explain ( Read more... )

I've always been a bit weirded out/alienated by the kind of comments and reactions I get in the House fandom. They are very critical of everything. I put together an exhaustive list of my own favorite fanfiction in House...and I got criticized for it. Multiple times. At first I ignored it, but really, it seems like the House fandom (IN A HUGE GENERAL SENSE...I don't mean everyone does this) is just very critical of others, very judgmental.

Blerg, you know how i feel about all of this, I think my stance is abundantly clear in general - and it fucking sucks that you had to even make this post ( ... )

Couldn't agree more!

I am just sick of people finding drama in everything and acting like is the end of the world. I fucking love this show, this ship and characters and i and only i will chose how to enjoy it without having to deal with every bullshit that it is said. I will always miss that place, it was where i met some really amazing people but i cannot deny that it has become a place full of criticism, negative thoughts and constant drama

This is all so true. It's like, I do not want to come home from a day driving a dirty train to wade through the swamp of fandom bitching. I want to read my f'list, with all its awesome thoughts, discussions and hilarious squeeing over things I love and just jump right in.

I keep house_cuddy for the news/updates side of things (and to pimp my fic to keep my raging insecurity at bay, I admit), but it's depressing how many posts I don't even bother to click on the comments for because it's the same shit, different day over there.

I second (or third or fourth, from the looks of it) this comment. Since "Joy," the fandom hasn't been the same, and I have backed away from it in a huge way. I haven't even seen the last four or five episodes, and it bums me out that I'm not more gung-ho about it. This fandom has gotten so exhausting with all the wank and bullshit, and right now it's just... not worth it for me anymore.

This reminds me so much of the RENT fandom.

It just got so sickeningly unintelligent and superficial that everyone worthwhile left, and the majority of us still talk to eachother vaguely, but it's not the same and it's so sad.
