This is probably an unwise post, but over the past couple of weeks, inexplicably, @scurator and I got an intense series of comments on one of our Good Omens fics and I made the mistake of engaging, and now Iâm just really upset about the incredibly ill-informed and offensive comments on religion, the VERY SHITTY theology and I think tbh the anti-Semitism inherent in the particular condemnation of OT God. Like, mâboff stepped in and was like âone of us is Christianâ and they were just like âhereâs an overblown description of why that sucksâ AND IT IS ON A GOOD OMENS FIC.
I mean this person has just been Wrong quite extensively (about eg Wilde) so I donât know why I care so much, but also Iâm a bit jangled as Iâd been assuming they were very young and in fact they could be my age or older from what theyâve said! And theyâre justâŚ. out there putting their terrible opinions all over our fic!
Anyway the post about being a popular fic writer made me think of this because this absolutely sucks. And on a Good Omens fic! Can you even imagine going to some hockey RPF to wax lyrical about how great the fic was but then absolutely condemn the playing of all team sports as evil?
What also bothers me is that I was nice!! And while I donât have the theological background to be like âhere is precisely why what youâre saying is inaccurateâ, I did do about Wilde!!! The beginning of the thread was about Wilde and I was nice and not just like âyou are so incredibly wrong about thisâ.
Anyway, this was stupid and upsetting.
