Friday night, thinking things over.

Jun 24, 2011 22:45

What I've been up to today:

I ended up doing one of those random searches a few nights ago and I found Tomboy Style, and after going through some of their archives I saw this outfit. And today I more or less found my own version when I got an orange tank top from Old Navy and bright blue shorts from Walmart. SUCCESS. I think the only shoes that ( Read more... )

I think that fans sometimes can take things a little personally, which is totally natural, as that's part of being a fan. I've gotten into fights with friends over Glee before, as I do not like it at all, and they sometimes translate this into "Meagan doesn't like Glee = Meagan thinks I'm stupid for liking Glee" which is completely and totally not true.

This might also have something to do with how bitingly sarcastic I am about everything, and hey, it turns out that it's not so funny for some people when I'm being caustic about that thing they really really adore.

So lol, I'm rambly but eh. I've always looked at it like, if I have to censor myself to keep their attention, then their attention isn't really worth it in the first place. Anyone who is immature enough to judge me based on the tv I watch or the music I listen to or whatever is just a big ol' stupidhead, anyway.

Oh man, I do the same thing on Tumblr. I'm like hmmm, this person will think this about this post so...better to just like it. Overthinking powers, activate!

(For the record, I do have an irrational/unfounded dislike for Glee, but I don't mind at all when people post stuff from/about it. And I absolutely don't think less of anyone for enjoying it <3)

I do the same filter thing too.

And I get that. It's cool. But sometimes I read that dislike and their remarks about their dislike as being something of a judgment of everyone who likes that particular thing, and I feel like they're thinking less of me, because while I do have my own issues with various things that I like and I understand the criticisms that other people have about them, it's just... taxing. Is it ever possible to say "I understand why you dislike this, and why it makes you angry, but when you go on at length about how terrible it is makes me feel like you're saying that I'm terrible for liking it" without sounding whiny?

same thoughts here.
