I'm lying here, sick as a dog, studying for tomorrow's exam and watching Christmas episodes of HTF when a thought struck me.
When a person doesn't like a fandom, why are they drawn to shitting on it?
I mean, the Twilight hatedom kind of shows that. Part of it is literary analysis, but a lot of it is making fun of something we hate. I saw an anti-HTF stamp that was hsoddily made; the creator said it didn't deserve anything that looked nice, then went on to list the reasons why she hated it. Barney-hate songs have been sung since kindergarten.
Why can't we all just leave stuff we hate alone? I hate High School Musical, but do you see me ranting about all the reasons it sucks and that no one should watch it? No. I just leave it alone and focus on stuff I like. It just seems like too much energy to obssesively hate something.
It's like eating spaghetti when you prefer mac & cheese. Don't like it, don't eat it; simple as that. Don't sit there and whine about how disgusting it tastes while you force-feed yourself to the point of vomiting.
...that's about all I thought about this topic. ^^;
