Re: Fandom Venting

That's not what you said at all. You pointed out that meme usually implies an RPF context (implying you thought people were missing that context, which they weren't), and that you expect RPF popular players to appear in fic (which other people do too, hence their surprise).

Like I said, you can disagree with people's evaluations of Letang's fandom popularity (which I guess you do). But if someone says "I'm so surprised, Letang is so popular but there's no fic about him," and someone else replies, "No, you're wrong, Letang isn't popular because I haven't read fic about him"... that is circular. The original new complainer basically said that, and your first comment made it sound like you were agreeing with that.
