Dear fandom....

Dear wanking part of fandom,


I hear you've got issues with The Show?

Here, have some solutions:

- stop watching,
- sell your TV,
- stop posting on LJ,
- delete your LJ,
- go cry in the bathroom,
- better yet, go sulk in your basement,
- or the really best, let us enjoy our Show in peace, please FUCK OFF AND DIE.

So-not-lovingly yours,

Me

You know what I do for a living dont you?

I don’t find fandoms that have child sexual abuse as issues and go on about it, complaining about said show, watching it and moaning about it showing that stuff. Nor do I find a fandom and create a situation where I can shout “Child Sexual Abuse!” when it’s not even canon or written into the show at all!

Cos I'm actually actively doing something about it for real every day anyway. And that’s what you do if you honestly want to make some impact on something that bothers you. Of course you don’t have to do anything about things you care about, it’s not a staple is what I am saying, but at the very least accept that this conjecture and sharing of opinions is of no real use whatsoever to anyone and never will be.

Sure there’s a lot to be said for philosophical and educational debate, but inevitably that stuff only expands understanding, shares opinions, can sometimes help form tolerance and creates a lot of negative things to boot. It doesn’t make one edge of difference to the world though.

There's enough misery going on in the real world as it is! We don't need it spilling into our fictional entertainment that is meant to take you away from this harsh reality.

So I suggest sticking to the real world and let entertainment be just that, entertaining.
