You Ever Get That Feeling...

Have you ever felt like you were sorta alone in your fandom opinions? Sometimes, I feel awkward asking fandom questions for fear that it might unintentionally offend someone. I'm trying to stop arguing on the internet because Tara threatened that if I didn't stop she was going to make sure that my grave marker would read, "She argued on the Internet. A lot."

I decided long ago that the only opinion that mattered was my own and arguing wasn't going to change it.

I think what happens is that I see posts and I start to read comments and then I realize that an overwhelming swell of people have the same opinion and have OUTRAGE over something... but I have the completely opposite opinion and in no way did I interpret a scene or characterization the way that this huge number of people did. It doesn't make me want to change my opinion or change theirs... but sometimes I want to ask why they think the way they do, mostly out of curiosity because I can't understand it. I be perplexed. XD

I decided it was easier just to accept that people as a collective are dumb. Lots of them are sheep and will think what they think they're supposed to think and the others like the status quo and don't like people rocking their world view. I work with a number of older women and I could just slap them most days but meh... I just don't have the energy to argue and prefer to inhabit my slightly smug superiority complex instead. It's comfortable in here.
*hugs* it's frustrating some days isn't it?

*hugs* It is frustrating. But look! Baby Koalas! (http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/2011/07/koala-joeys-galore-for-australias-dreamworld.html)

The baby koalas help me with my frustration... but I feel like I have to make a lot of invisible posts that no one will ever see to just keep myself sane. I think I need to read more fanfic and stay away from non-fanfic fandom posts because I am losing my mind. I think it's just been one of those long, weird days.
