I know, I KNOW. I have tried to keep my head down within this fandom, save for posting fic and occasionally participating in discussions if it was interesting and sane.
And yeah there's only so much insanity I can take--I mean, do people realize how they're behaving over a TV Show? I mean SERIOUSLY. It's a TV SHOW. It's supposed to be a fun hobby, not like, a life-altering experience! I can't believe the amount of times my blood pressure has sky-rocketed over FANDOM and then yeah, like you said, all you can do is step back and just boggle in private cause you're never gonna change anyone else.
And let's not forget the fact that these few members have single-handedly made an entire fanbase look socially-stunted. That annoys me more than anything because now people hear "Glee fandom, P/R shipper" and think, oh, death threats and other shenanigans and it just paints the whole lot with a bad brush
( ... )
You totally stole my rant and did it better (it's much more coherent than mine was turning out to be. Incompete sentences and swearing were very prominent).
Seriously, this shit is fucking embarrassing. It's embarrassing the poster, it's embarrassing the PR shippers, it's embarrassing the entire Glee fandom OMG. GAH.
I love PR. I do, but this kind of shit is not kosher. People have to remember that screennames are attached to other people and as a person, they are inherently deserving of respect. I don't care if they don't like another ship. I don't care if their ship is ridiculous or implausible or whatever. I don't care if it's not endgame or if it is endgame, or if they're the next Ross and Rachel or the next Pacey and Joey. I don't care if they started it. I don't care.
People need to treat other fans with the respect they deserve as a human being. That includes not telling them to DIAF or attacking their ship because ... they're threatened or something lame like that. I don't understand how the FR or the PQ or the Howard
( ... )
Word to EVERYTHING. I think these people need to step back and realize that we did not ask for P/R Ambassadors to represent us to the fandom.
Please stop trolling the other communities and picking fights and whatnot all in the name of PR. FR, PQ, FQ, RQ, all of them are human beings with the right to respect--this is shit we learned in preschool! And really, how do ANY OF THEIR SHIPS interfere with mine? And really x2? WHO CARES what's canon? So, whut, P/R arent canon so I cant write fic about them? Please.
And aside from that, aside from ALL of that, they're making the rest of us look bad, and it's infuriating. I am so tired of being lumped together with a handful of people who seem to forget If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all
Whatever, omfg, if I start, I'll just get into a rant. But WORD WORD WORD to everything you said.
I totally know how you feel. I tend to play in communities that are nice to my ship (mostly just a puck/rachel community, but still). I'm totally okay with people having opinions and favorites, but that doesn't mean everyone can't like something else. You know?

And then I saw you lay the verbal SMACK-DOWN on them and even though we don't talk much, I was proud to have you on my flist. Was seriously impressed.

Matt/Rachel fic is DONE! I'm just sorta tweaking it before it's sent off to a beta!
And yeah, the wank got old, fast.
