I very strongly doubt you have the empathy to understand how a non-Pens fan feels about it.

Re: Fandom Venting

Yes, ayrt is the one lacking empathy, in a thread where a player not being able to play without risking death is not "genuinely sad" because he's old and has a cup and it happens to everyone, it's very very common!!! so how dare you be sad about it, cry me a river.

Re: Fandom Venting

Oh come on. This is why any discussion about the Pens or Pens fandom devolves into absurdity. Nobody said you couldn't be sad about it!!! Just that the rest of us are tired of hearing about it! Don't make it more dramatic than it has to be.

Have you read the thread? People literally said it wasn't "genuinely sad" and that people who were sad could cry a river because Dupuis is old and has a cup. If OP is sick of hearing it they should mute or unfollow those Pens fans on Twitter.

Re: Fandom Venting

I did read the thread, and saw plenty of people acknowledging that it was sad for Pens fans. I don't think you understand that it's not just OP who is tired of this. I don't even have a twitter, I avoid Pens fans on tumblr and I still feel like exposure limit to "IS ANYBODY ELSE EMO BECAUSE OF DUPUIS" is maxed out. I'm sorry if you feel like people are being dismissive but I think venting in the venting thread about it is legitimate.

Re: Fandom Venting

I was the anon who was totally on board with the venting about Pens fans until the follow up comment about Dupuis. If you go out of your way to avoid it, I'm sorry that it's still annoying you, but OP chooses to follow Pens fans on twitter and then complains when those fans are sad about a fan fave whose sob story is currently all over Pens media and mainstream media too since the Pens are about to play the SCF? That's peak "Dead Dove Do Not Eat." There are a thousand things to be vented about wrt Pens fans and none of them require callous comments about a guy who risked his life to play hockey (and the first few comments were all incredibly callous and lacking empathy).

THIS THREAD IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY PEOPLE ARE SICK OF PENS FANS JUST FYI.

Let it gooooooooooo.

na

I didn't want to complain because I'm sick of talking about the Pens, but this thread was very QED about that, yeah...

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I think it has less to do with empathy and more to do with complete cluelessness with a healthy dose of no one's pain is as painful as my pain.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Not a Pens fan, and I think it's perfectly understandable why they are sad about it and more so than if the same thing happend to someone not on their team?

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

That's very neat, anon. When asked for actual details instead of vague huffing, you resort to personal insults - but you make it such a goddamn ridiculous insult in the context of what you're complaining about that everyone takes up the "wtf" banner, instead of noticing you're unable to support your point.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Someone questioning whether you're willing to accept how people can be annoyed by your team's fans after many, many, many different threads and anons explaining themselves isn't really a ridiculous insult.

da

The question wasn't "how can people be annoyed at Pens fans?? we're so great!," it was a specific question about one claim that was made, that someone else provided a good answer to. Bringing an ad hominem attack about lacking empathy into it is not only over the top, it's a little ironic given the topic of discussion and some of the remarks that have been made. And given that the impetus of the thread was "I am so annoyed that I follow Pens fans on twitter and they talk about Pascal Dupuis all the time, it isn't even that sad, get over it!" (and not a Pens fan coming onto meme saying "let's all be sad about Duper together!), even as someone who frequently finds the Pens fanbase insufferable, I don't have much sympathy for that complaint.
