Disrespecting Fandoms- Not Cool

Let’s not forget ‘fan’ is short for ‘fanatic’. And that by definition means intense emotion, dedication and degrees of obsession. If you’re creating a work of fiction, a TV series or a movie in this day in age, particularly if it is in the genres of Fantasy or Sci-fi you are in fact doing it TO GENERATE FANS!!!

Yup, day before yesterday. OUaT panel and the producers behaved like shits to the SwanQueen group. It's one thing to be stupid enough to come right out and say to a fan group 'you're wrong'. It's another to do it in a you're disgusting and delusional' nasty way. Poor Jen M then said something innocuous that the burned SQers went even more ballistic about. Some of the extreme fans went ott and stupidly nasty in their reactions. But like I said above, such is the nature of the beast.

I respect you greatly and know you don't just issue a rant on a whim. It doesn't seem to matter how much time passes. There are creators who have epic love affairs with the fans and those who kick them to the curb. It's a basic mirror of human actions. I wonder how their tune would change if that fan support was withdrawn during sweeps. Some folks dont' listen until you get their attention where they live, their pocketbooks.
