Nice. Real nice.

I have never friended or been friended by this person, even when we were popslashers together. I'm suddenly very glad for that.

I always thought that people who claimed persecution for being bandslashers were protesting a bit much. I mean, all my main fandoms have looked batshit insane from the outside-first popslash, then Hanson. Even when I get involved in a media fandom, it's weird-Boy Meets World, Big Wolf on Campus.

So this isn't the most persecuted fandom, but it might make the top ten.
A lot of people dropped my ass like a hot tear gas canister at a police riot when I started getting heavily into MCR fandom. It took me a while to notice, but they did. And by the way, I've done the math-I average about five bandom related posts per twenty on my main page. That's a fourth, which I don't find excessive.

Does this kind of thing happen to any other fandoms? Well, Harry Potter has always been a fine source of wank, so maybe. But nobody ever seems to go "Oh hai, you're posting too much about Stargate, lolz filtered!"

I'm sorry if I don't pick "cool" fandoms. I never have. *NSync slash, we should all remember, was not a way to get fandom status at first. At all. I cannot generate much interest in the cool kid fandoms like SPN or Stargate Atlantis. I have nothing against them, they are good for fandom. And you know what? MCR are good for fandom as well.

I am not friends locking this one! I'm mad as hell and I want everyone to see it!
