I misremembered because of the direction the conversation took, but being tumblr and not twitter doesn't actually change things. We certainly weren't talking about the fic discussion thread.
It's not entitlement or demanding to say you dislike how someone conducts themselves (but uh if that's how we're defining it...). There's no expectation of change.
No, no one said dislike = entitlement. No one disagreed with people who said they disliked seeing vagueblogging. But saying "having a single coherent thought about an established subject isn't really all that much to ask for" is an expectation that is entitled when people aren't writing for you. There is no expectation that every single tweet or tumblr text post is supposed to have coherent thoughts about established subjects. Calling people names and making assumptions about their intelligence because they want to be able to say "ugh I didn't like this" on their blogs or twitters without explaining themselves to you, a random stranger, is both entitled and over the top.
