Few fans I know would be willing to stand up publicly and say, "my fandom is okay, your fandom sucks" but I'm willing to do it. (Much of this, of course, is the courage that comes from knowing no one is listening and no one cares what I think anyhow.)

The fandom that says you can slash a character with the actor who plays the character? That sucks.

The fandom that says it's okay to write sex stories using actor's real names? That sucks.

I'd like to say that the fandom that turned women into some evil that has to be erased from the face of the planet to allow the men to boink each other in peace also sucks, but slash has always had a fair amount of misogyny, so I'll just say I strongly disapprove, and we'll move on.

The fandom that says it's okay to mix-and-match an actor's roles? Use the name from Show A and the personality from Show B, mixed together with the fictional universe from Show C? That sucks.

As far as that goes, the fandom that says it's okay to take the character names and nothing else from a show and label it fanfiction for that show? Sucks.

The fandom that says you're entitled to positive and loving strokes because you took the time to type out some words and give them a title? Sucks.

The fandom that says punctuation and grammar aren't important? Sucks. (I know they're important. I'm just not good at them.)

The fandom that says canon isn't important? So. Totally. Sucks.

The fandom that says no one should ever see a negative critique of what they've written? Sucks.

The fandom that took the once-in-a-lifetime and only-for-the-shock-value-gimmick of MPreg and turned it into a genre? Really sucks.

The fandom that turned torture into a genre? Sucks and blows. (Angst and H/C aren't torture. There's a noticeable difference.)

Feel free to add your own suggestions.

Probably I need another Starbucks chocolate drink, don't you think? To soothe the trauma?
