Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Is someone going to create a separate Fandom Venting thread about how venting about conversation going on else where on the meme is their pet peeve?

Re: Fandom Venting

At least it's an attempt to not pour gas on the fire. It's not like someone commenting, "Everyone, shut the fuck up," is ever effective.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

No, it's like saying the same thing really loudly, from the next room, and then being surprised when people can hear.

Re: Fandom Venting

The whole point of posting comments on a public forum is for them to be read. It's a way to vent (the purpose of the thread!) without being directly confrontational, especially in a way that targets a single person/comment.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, OK. So, it's to be read, but not by the person who you're aiming it at.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

What is the point of a venting thread, if not to be read, but not by the people you're aiming at, lol?

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

the point of sub-tweeting/commenting is never that the other person won't hear it.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

But it is to be vague enough for plausible deniability. Whereas ... this is not that. Subtweeting would be going on tumblr and being like, 'it's so terrible that some people use terms in psychology incorrectly and they don't understand that that's wrong and hurtful.' Not posting in another thread on a low-traffic meme.

I'm just happy that it's in a thread with an appropriate title.

Although, given the particular title of the fic discussion that went off the rails...

Re: Fandom Venting

I feel like in this situation they could have just stated their opinion about the term in a reply to the person using it, if you really don't want to talk about something starting a venting thread about it isn't really the way to go about it.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

They didn't sound like they didn't want to talk about, they sounded like they wanted to point out something about it, to the multiple people who are now using it.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

If it's a vent, then it's appropriate for the venting thread. It is not more complicated than that.

Re: Fandom Venting

it's not effective, but god am i tempted to do it anyway at times.
