How come people are allowed to express what they like but not what they don't? Yeah, it may cause the likers to be discouraged and all that, but guess what? If someone expressing how they feel is enough to set you off so much, then maybe you're the problem here?? Not everything in this world will appeal to you.
I am assuming this is about my recent post about people being rude to fanfic writers and their works.
if youāre expressing what you donāt like in your own space and if what youāre expressing doesnāt make others feel bad then do what you want.
no, itās not about whether or not you are āallowedā. itās about whether or not you are being an asshole and deserving of being called as such.
āI donāt like this tropeā posted on your own blog? sure. itās your own space. express whatever you want. though personally, Iād rather focus my attention, time and energy on things I do like instead of things I donāt. to each their own.
āI think this fic is terrible, I donāt like itā posted on somethingās fic as a comment? you are being rude and an asshole. and people can definitely call you out for it.
may I ask if you also go up to strangers in public, in real life, and āexpressā what you dislike about their clothes or how they look? do you see a stranger and go āhey, lose some weightā or āI hate your dress. itās so ugly. I donāt like yellowā? do you also open a gift someone gave you and go āhmm actually I donāt like itā?
āif someone expressing how they feel is enough to set you off so much, then maybe youāre the problem hereā = if someone being rude to you is enough to set you off, then youāre the problem. thatās how you sound.
maybe you might want to ask yourself why you need to tell others things you donāt like about them or their works. if itās something you paid for, then sure, itās within your rights to express your honest opinions about the service/the thing you paid for. but if itās a gift, something you got for free out of someoneās kindness, someone elseās hobby that was made specifically for themselves, not for you, and if you werenāt directly asked to give your honest opinion, then you are being rude, entitled and an asshole to express to them what you dislike about their works/gifts/things they do as hobbies for themselves, something that werenāt made for you to begin with.
no, I am not saying āyou must like every single fic you readā. hell no. there are a lot of fanfics that I donāt like. but guess what? I quietly clicked out of them without expressing to the authors how much I disliked their works. if I and millions of other peopleāwho are decent peopleācan do it, so can you.
are you āallowedā to tell fanfic writers what you donāt like about their works? yes. itās not illegal. but just because you are allowed doesnāt mean you should. it doesnāt mean itās the right thing to do. and if you still go ahead and do it anyway, please know thatāsince you are rude and an assholeāother people are also allowed to rightfully call you out and block you too.
my advice? take your own advice. not everything in the world will appeal to you. so if you find a fic you donāt like and if you donāt have anything nice to say, quietly exit it and tell yourself ānot everything in the world will appeal to me. not everything in the world is made for meā.
it blows my mind that there really are still people like you who think āwhy canāt I be rude and entitled to strangers š” this is so unfair to meā
