Re: Fandom Venting

I scroll past a lot of things on this meme that fall under "not worth engaging with the angry," including vents that I don't agree with. I also think that there's a difference between saying something if someone's being factually incorrect ("x player disappeared in the playoffs!"/"x player scored 3 goals", though many times those also fall under "not worth engaging with the angry) and nitpicking someone to death because they expressed feelings you don't like.

Some people on this meme seem to think that anyone who feels differently than they do shouldn't say something unless it's a formal essay with firm appeals to pathos, logos, and ethos that is completely fair to any opposing teams mentioned in the vent. And their method of trying to shut up/shut down the non-objective venters through picking is tedious and transparent.
