Okay honestly [I'm being very honest today] I don't even know what to say to this.
I've been itching to reply but then I thought no. But then I thought why the heck not? I need to say this to get it out of my system.
WHY is it that when one person- be it ONE single SG fan or ONE single MN fan makes a rude remark or even comments on the other couple- EVERYONE suddenly blames the entire fanbase?
I'm not speakingon behalf of any fangroups- though this post is directly speaking about one in particular- but what do you want this post to be about?
It's like me saying "Oh, I hate it when people say mean things about me. Let's open up a post to dare them to say mean things about me."
Ultimately it'll lead to two things: People will say mean things about you and nobody is gonna benefit a tad bit from it.
We all say and do stupid things from time to time and it's time to accept that and move forward. One person or two people's actions cannot represent the entire group. The other day, I was shocked to read this one blog entry that pinned the blame of an entire religion based on the actions of a few people.
What's different here? One fan says something mean about the other couple/character and the entire fan base is targetted at. It's time we all grow up- every single one of us. It doesn't help to fight fire with fire, and this is exactly what the MJHT forum is all about these days.
I come here to chill and then there's a billion posts on MN and a billion posts on SG and somehow, they always get messy. And then we all go on a 'quest for justice' by hurting the opposite fans. Does that even seem even remotely close to 'being mature' to anyone here?
& another problem I feel that we all have is what the definition of 'bashing' is in our eyes. Don't answer this question, but take a thought. What is bashing in your eyes? What I consider bashing may not be what you do. Once we all come to ONE definition of this, that'll be the day that we'll all be able to get along.
I'm sorry, but this really needed to be said. You call can butchur and quote me on anything I said, but think about it.
@the mods and to the members who may have been offended: I'm sorry, but this had to be said.
Edited:
Because I'm giving a bhashan, I'm gonna go all the way too.
On this particular forum, if I have 10 friends (just using an example) 9 of those friends would be SaJan/MoNaya friends. I'm a full-on MN fan.
If I can manage to call those 9 people my closest friends on I-F, then you all can get along with each other too.
My best friend on I-F happens to be a die-hard SG fan. She is obsessed with them- yet she is the best friend I've ever had. Jiz, you know who you are and I soooooooo love you for loving me regardless of my 'tag' on this forum as an MN fan.
