Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Oh come on. Coming from a person who likes Crosby, this is just disingenuous. He's famous and well-liked enough that even people with other primary teams are occasionally going to say positive things about him when he does something super noteworthy, and this deep into the SCF a lot of people whose primary teams are out of the running are going to be rooting for either the Sharks or the Pens to win, so a bunch of people who would normally not be talking about Crosby are probably gonna mention him in the next week or two. It's totally fair to be annoyed if you really have a hate-on for someone on one of the two final teams, because they're going to end up plastered all over your dash/timeline no matter how hard you try to prevent it. That's what venting threads are for.

As someone who made a similar vent recently, yeah, I had no clue how many huge Crosby fans I followed until the last couple weeks. In addition, I met a lot of these people through K/T fandom, and didn't realize they were really Pens fans until we were already friends. I'm guessing the same thing is happening to other people; their fandom circle was more multi-team than they realized, post Hawks fandom.

DA

Exactly! It's a reasonable complaint and I don't know what these weird attempts to police the venting thread have been about lately.
