Gobstoppers12 03/09/24 11:49:30 AM #6:	It's always weird to me when actors find a need to shame people for liking one of their roles. Like, lady, they're paying you the desired rate to reprise a role of yours that they liked. Why do you feel the need to backhand them like that? It's one of the things I kinda disliked about Alec Guinness. He was the kind of guy who tried to tell people to stop being Star Wars fans because he just didn't get it. --- (He/Him) I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Life doesn't have to be so worthless that you spend time putting down people who aren't hurting anyone and enjoying themselves. It's sad that nerds on the Internet are suddenly all about this nonsense when it comes to Harry Potter. JK Rowling being a transphobe doesn't give you an excuse to hypocritically start mocking people for not conforming to "adult" hobbies. It's like hating Chick-fil-A, but doing so because "chicken nuggies are for kids". You can say it's because of their history of anti-LGBT support! You don't need to also have some weird other criticism that you don't even consistently adhere to. She is one of the most joyful and funny people you will see. She wasn't complaining, just making fun in a very minor and pretty harmless way. The fact that people are being far more insulting and vicious at someone who dared to mock them suggests that the absence of joy lies elsewhere. If people are secure and unembarrassed by their adult hobbies, why the disproportionate response? --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. <cite>ai123 posted [p:979277304] in Miriam Mar...

Southernfatman 03/09/24 1:20:48 PM #46:	I'm conflicted. One one hand, as others have said already, there's nothing wrong with being a fan or even a big fan of something, but when you make being a fan a part of your entire life and/or personality, it's odd. I love lots of things, but I wouldn't have a wedding or other important event in my life revolve around one of them. On the other, if it doesn't really hurt anybody, let people enjoy it. Let them be "weirdos" or whatever. At least they have something to enjoy in life. bfslick50 posted... Its no weirder than some sports fan communities. Hardcore sports fandom has always gotten an unfair pass. Lots of those types need to be called out as well or at least when they're being really obnoxious about it, like how many extreme sports fans can be.

The only defense I can think of for Mario Land is that a vast majority of Nintendo fans are grown and didnt have a theme park to enjoy like newer fans of today can.
