What is it with fandom and attention whores? Does everyone have ADD these days or does fandom draw in an incredibly large amount of people with autistic traits? I seriously wonder whether they don't give a damn that they're pushing their own selfish little problems onto others or actually cannot perceive their self-absorption at all. That's a basic trait of autism.

...I lost my cool. a little. I don't think I'm out of line, though.

Back when I was 14/15, I totally had similar arguments where I was defensive and didn't listen AT ALL and got butthurt, so I get where she's coming from, I guess, but... I was barely a teenager? And I realize now what an asshole I was, which is what she's being now. And she doesn't realize it. Or, you know, doesn't care.

Also, I really love that message in her sticky post. "I don't have to be nice! I have opinions! I welcome opinions! BLAH BLAH I'M AGAINST THE CULT OF NICE" and then people call her on her shit, and suddenly she is being mobbed, Green. MOBBED!!!!!!!!

MOBBED BY A TOTAL OF FOUR PEOPLE. Kat, I've been in Harry Potter fandom. This person hasn't lived to see a mob.

But yeah, defensiveness. I understand it, but it doesn't make me any less angry. >:(
