Nerd Raaaage

At first I thought it was a Tumblr thing. You know, young kids getting their panties in a twist over this and that. But no, it's in blogs elsewhere that have been linked by who_daily . It's people hating on characters, hating on actors, hating on producers, hating on writers and their stories, hating on direction (as in yes, directors). And it kind of makes me go:

Sooo. Are you guys fans?

Oh, no. What happened? Are people complaining about the new episode? I saw some of that on LJ earlier today....

There's an icon i saw on lj that said something like: "Doctor Who fan. Definition: a person who hates Doctor Who"

And I've seen people end epic hate-rants with "doctor who is my favourite show!" no joke.

Haters gonna hate. Ignore them and keep the love fest going :)

I AM A ~FAN~ :D

Srsly tho, I know exactly what you mean. It's for this reason that I pretty much stick to my flist and doctoreleven. If people don't like Eleven's era, well, fine, but that doesn't mean I want to read about it. I like my happy little corner of fandom <3

WELCOME TO FANDOM!

No, seriously. The bigger the show, the more fandom will do this. People like to complain and armchair write/act/produce. Makes them feel important and superior and a part of the process I guess.

My suggestion? If you can't ignore them? Troll the everloving shit out of them and laugh as their heads asplode. It's kinda awesome.

I don't get that either! Why would anyone get joy out of hating on something?Especially when one can SQUEE, which is INFINITELY more fun? :)
