most baffling and annoying type of person in fandom will always be the ones who are deadass like “i hate literally everything about this dogshit thing but i’m still gonna complain constantly instead of dropping it and you have to take my opinions on it seriously bc i’m a fan too”

that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them

every story has ""wasted potential"" it came free with its trying to tell a coherent finite narrative bound by the practical restrictions of human constraints and limited resources within a capitalist hellscape

genuinely convinced conservative men only think “women aren’t funny” bc they often don’t believe women are even capable of intentionally making a joke. istg they’ll assume a woman doesn’t understand what her own words meant before they accept she actually has a sense of humour

discourse about lesbian rep is always so damn exhausting like. if there’s physical intimacy it’s fetishising but if there isn’t it’s queerbait. if it has conflict it’s toxic but if it doesn’t it’s boring. either it’s too stereotypical or not authentically queer enough. I’M TIRED

“bad writing is when character doesn’t act how i would or think they should” ass takes really are such a bane on fandom discussions. we gotta put those people in media literacy detention and make them write “projection is not actual criticism” a hundred times til it sinks in istg
