I've watched a steady decline in the maturity levels of Fandom over the years, and I despair. Nothing is sacred any more. Everyone goes with the majority, to have an independent thought (like) is looked upon with condemnation and ridicule. It's disgusting. Fandom... just isn't what it used to be.
Credit me if you use outside of DA. 's are always good! Don't steal or redistribute my work as your own! Enjoy!
I've noticed when ever you look something up on a forum you get pages and pages of 'OMG!!!!11!!!!' or even worse (while looking up death note) 'OMG L1KE L ISH MA BF! NO WAIT HES MA HUSBAND!!!!!!! FOREVAH!!1111!!1!1!' its getting to where they should either get rid ofevery fandom or put a blocker to prevent letters from being capitalized and have numbers in them!

Its funny the first time where you think they can spell. but when you have little 7yr old kids and up typing like that its just annoying. Not even the 'i can ignore it' annoying. Anytime i see that I whis i could find the person who typed it and slap the crap out of them.

Well, fandom... lets start with all the freakin' annoying things:
1. What the heck happen to grammar?! Honestly, I'm starting to think that in order to have/belong to any fandom you MUST ignore grammar all together. I admit I'm not the smartest crayon in the pack, but heck, I try to WRITE as correctly as I can since how in the world are people gonna understand what I'm writing? I usually stop reading anything that is in caps and strange numbers trying to be letters.
2. Main character is my husband/wife/significant other/ect. Ok, I may "love" some artist or I may really really like a fictional character from a novel/tv series/etc but the heck I'm gonna be all "he's mine!!!". God, is so stupid.
3. Mary Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssssssss!!!!! *heart attack* I think this must be the thing I HATE the most of fandom. OC characters paired with one of the main characters. Ugh! I hate them. I'm gonna confess here and now that I'm a hardcore fan of the movie "Labyrinth" (David Bowie). I like to read some fanfic about it because I've been lucky enough to find writers that sort of respect the original main characters and keep them "in character". In my opinion is Goblin King Jareth/Sarah all the way. But I've found over the years the "growing" tend to put Jareth with an OC that to make matters worst is a stupid Mary Sue. (They are usually so perfect, sweet, good and powerful that make you wish the bad guys win). Or they make Sarah be such "perfectly good" person that she's a Mary Sue all on her own.
Ack. I'm gonna curl in a corner and curse all the fandom in general. Instant fav for this stamp as well.
