Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I do wish certain people would be clearer in their subject lines. Sometimes it's just a pairing with no mention of the very specific kink scenario outlined in the prompt, and sometimes it's basically a sentence of how the prompter got inspired with no mention of kink OR pairing!
I track, though, so these are the kinds of things that make me decide whether to open a given comment notif email or not. I guess if you're just reading on the kinkmeme it doesn't matter.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Same, tbh! I like full names, pairings, and kink in my subject lines. But to me that's a different complaint than the one that was voiced which just came off as kinda entitled and world-revolves-around-me (esp because there was no mention of the kink meme/subject lines, it was just, stop calling him that!!).
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Oops, I don't know why I marked that as da, I'm ayrt. Sorry!!
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Yeah, agreed. IDK if the kinkmeme was even what they were talking about! They never said.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I didn't skip any words. Did you hallucinate some? The only mention of context was by the people who responded, because they all found it hard to imagine a context in which it wouldn't be clear if someone was talking about Matt Murray or Jake Muzzin.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)The obsession with picking apart every fandom vent to the point where it seems like certain nonnies are trying to either make the original non take it back or "prove them wrong" is getting really old. This thread is basically for people to yell into the void about something that annoys them, and you're not going to get points for explaining to them why they shouldn't be annoyed. It doesn't work like that.

So whatever you think fandom venting is "for" is unrelated to how it's actually been used here since it was first introduced. See also: the fandom venting thread on ffa.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I know that it's how this thread has always been used, but it doesn't mean it's not tedious and pointless. Yelling at someone is not going to make them stop being annoyed about something! It probably only makes it worse!
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)As someone who's had a vent picked to death, this. I pretty much won't bother posting to this thread ever again, since it probably kicked up more wank than if I'd just posted to namespace.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Oh, and I've seen vents here I deeply disagreed with. I scrolled on by instead of telling the OP they were an idiot or trying to argue with them because, you know, vent thread.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)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.

From: (Anonymous)FTFY
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Now you really are skipping half the words. OP's complaint didn't mention context at all (as you claimed it did when you made the jab about skipping words). Other anons in the thread discussed the kink meme as possibly such a context, which you should know, having replied to a comment where that was happening. And regardless of all that, even if people confusing Murray and Muzzin is a super common thing, the original complaint is still entitled and whiny! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
