I'm a fan. I'm a fan of certain books and movies. I get a little crazy about my fandom sometimes, but it's just fun. Trust me, I'm most definitely grounded in reality. Sometimes crushed by Reality. Which is why I enjoy my fandemonium.
I get that not everyone is a fan of everything. I get that not everyone understands why someone could like something that they themselves don't like. Tirade alert: THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO CRAP ALL OVER SOMEONE ELSE'S EXCITEMENT!! Just because you yourself do not care for something doesn't mean that you are better than that person. It also doesn't mean that you now have free license to call them stupid or dumb, or worse, launch into a list of why that person has bad taste, or try to change their mind!! Because frankly, some of the stuff that you like, I think is dumb and in bad taste, but I think it's cool that you have something you like and get excited about. Go, you!
SO, let's all just quit being trolls, shall we?
Thanks, and good day.
Tirade over.
That's unbelievable. I don't know how someone could live a life without seeing more in the world that what is picked up by our senses. Imagination, fantasy and hope are the excitement and beauty of life. Limiting that (especially to "grown-up things") or to call some type of imagination "childish" just fills me with pity for the person living a life of drudgery.
ReplyDeleteIn short, you're awesome. Pity the grown-ups.
