Deviousness |
Parts of the fan community are annoying sometimes, and I respect your opinion, but if you don't like us, don't criticize us publicly because that's just a way to attract us.
Seriously, though, not all of the fan community are weeaboos who make horrible Mary-Sue fantrolls, post their hard-to-read quirks everywhere, and take the troll quadrants seriously (although I must admit that I do occasionally do that last one).
I do know that we can be annoying sometimes (re: the CAUCASIAN! incident, in which there were more people telling others not to take it so seriously than there were taking it seriously), but overall, we're all just humans. Stereotyping us as drooling idiots is the same thing as stereotyping- you know what, I'm not going to put an example here because I don't know you personally and I might accidentally hurt your feelings. Every fan community has people like that, but every fan community also has normal people.
I'm going to stop now, because this is getting to Kankri-like proportions. Please at least read this, even if you decide that I'm crazy and that my advice is horrible.
GRATS!
I think that you'd need to correct the picture to 'The obnoxious sections of...' rather than the whole community.
Because by extension, you are included in the community, whether you say so or not.
