a peak into my brain regarding fandom and F_W.

[timepiececlock]

While I love Fandom_Wank, I admit that wank about fandom_wank has about zero interest for me. I don't find it funny or interesting or worth gossipping about-- it's just an opportunity for self-congratulating and F_W-ers feeling the need to justify their existence in fandom yet again. Which I feel is silly-- there's no justification for fandom_wank. Fandom_Wank just exists. Stop trying to pretend it requires justification.

And it's not some noble cause worth defending. It's a bunch of people laughing at a variety of other people on the internet. You don't justify that, you only choose to participate or not participate. I choose to participate, because hey, fandom is funny and worth laughing at. But if people say "F_W is for idiots" and "serves no purpose" I will be the first to readily agree. F_W has no purpose. F_W needs no purpose.

For a community whose ideals include not taking things too seriously, a lot of people sure do take it seriously. The problem is that people on Fandom Wank tend not actually to be crazy, and it's really only funny when at least one party is.

I find myself growing more and more apathetic by the day to social politics and opinion differences, especially on the internet forgoshsakes, and it feels so good. Addictive, even.
