#fandom ruins everything

[samallcapswilson]

just read a fic that was apparently set right after steve breaks sam out of the raft prison and somehow the whole thing is about sam providing steve with comfort and care?!!?!

like why did you even bother? you could have just not.

i can't stand y'all.

honestly if this were just set at literally any other point in their time together i would have sighed, rolled my eyes and thought never again about your little fic but you really picked a time where the only reasonable choice is to have sam be taken care of and you straight said fuck it he's fine now take care of my yt woobie!

I enjoy shows 285% more when I am not involved in the fandom.

Sometimes this fandom is a trash fire. Sam Wilson deserves better.

um mr david graeber sir, when giving a hypothetical examples of two groups of people in an exploitative and unequal society, could you...not...use the terms "Alpha" and "Omega"?

please do not make me explain why. you don't need that information in your brain. although you're an anthropologist, so who knows, you might like it.

I’ve written before about “bad fan” dynamics, in which a subset of viewers perceive antiheroes simply as heroes, and at times “Fargo” throws red meat to this crowd, offering naughty fantasies in the guise of subversiveness. When Lester screws his bully’s widow, he does so doggy style, while staring at a picture of her and her dead husband, achieving the world’s purest revenge orgasm as she complains, “You’re hurting me.” Her being hurt is part of the fantasy, since she’s the worst.

So here's a hot take:

I really dislike being spoiled for plot twists because it reduces my joy in experiencing a thing.

HOWEVER, "Anti-spoiler culture" has gone too far. Everyone needs to relax. Dumbledore killed Snape. Get over it.

All I ever hear from any Marvel fan anywhere.

' eww that's uncreative' ' nobody even gives a fuck about that character' ' why should they do that thing when this thing is so much better' 'i hate xyz' 'whaa whaa look at me suck my own dick cause I'm a big baby and this multi million dollar franchise didn't tell the story the way I wanted it to whaa' 'all you ______ haters can go suck it because obviously My Boi™ is the most loved hes got the most screentime' 'blah blah'

Shut up. Nobody cares. Just enjoy it for what it is. Fuck really didn't think it was a hard concept.

You know...it’s kind of sad when you are told by blogs you enjoy to blacklist a fandom your into because of leaks. But how, I wonder, do the leaked gifs and spoilers get on my dash in the first place? Oh...people reblogging the leaked information. hmm...yeah...way to be good fans of something. This will probably mean less viewership when the show actually airs and therefore killing ratings for said show. Yeah...good plan. Make it harder for the series to get made at all. Good work, fandom. Good work. You fans sure do good stuff for your fandom, huh? 

Some fandoms sicken me to the point of not wanting to even WATCH the show any more. And I like My Little Pony.
