Despairing at humanity

[donutsweeper]

So apparently ComicCon is soon. And RTD will be there. There are posts (yes, more than one) going up about what 'to do' to RTD. Threating, throwing coffee at him, yelling insults, and other things have all been mentioned.

Holy hell. People. Grow up. It's a tv show. Now I realize something happened that you didn't like but stop giving fans a bad name.

Never has this macro been more appropriate.

Please do! And I am jealous, they sound like they should be really interesting!

Hopefully the two weeks is enough time for cooler heads to prevail, although I don't have high hopes.

Neither do I, frankly. TW Fandom has grown to the point where it's no longer really one fandom, but has split (more or less) into the Ianto fangirls v. the rest of us. And guess which ones are "angry"

RTD built them up though (before knowing them down) with that audio.

I don't get that J/I or nothing mentality. There's nothing wrong with a little J/I but there's more than J/I out there as well. Enjoy what you like and let everyone else enjoy what they like.

There's a lot more to TW fandom, and Jack, especially, than J/I. I like a well-written J/I fic as much as the next person (any well-written fic) but the all-or-nothing mentality has got to stop. We've seen it in fandom before, and we know it doesn't end well.

It's just a mindset I have trouble understanding.
