Are we really this bad? - Page 3

Heh, I wonder how he stumbles on all of that fanfiction and fanart, curious mind much?

He made valid points, I remember when the T-Drome was just as guilty of the behaviour he's talking about (usually all the bile was directed at Volume Four and Laird for reasons ranging from the delays to his politics, and then there was the endless flame wars over the quality of the last few seasons of the 2003 series), but things have settled since then, though that's ONLY because there's no TMNT on television. Time will tell if old habits will pick up again...

We'll probably be at each other's throats again once the Nick show starts up!

Like someone else said though, clashing of opinions happens in a lot of fandoms (some can be very mean-spirited, to a level far worse than anything that went down here in this board's more active years). You can either dive in, or just avoid the not-so-nice crowds. That's what I've learned to do. Getting into fights just isn't worth it.

I'll never understand why certain people get so damn worked up over a bunch of fictional characters. I mean honestly, does it really matter which iteration of the TMNT came first or which one is more "true to life"? No, it doesn't. It's F#*%ING MAKE BELIEVE!!!

*ToTheNines* · 10-15-2011, 07:29 PM

It would appear that you're the one who is worked up.

*Katie* · 10-15-2011, 07:32 PM

I used to go to other forums and the Technodrome was always held up as the land of rabid fangirls and way too obsessed people.

I figure the mellowing of the 'drome is due to attrition through bans and anger of the scary obsessed fans and people just plain growing up. Things look different at 19 than they do at 25 y'know?

I wouldn't know. I wasn't on here at 19 and I'm not quite 24 yet.

But in all seriousness, this is probably one of the best forums I've been a member on. There's maybe two or three people that rub me the wrong way but they don't seem to post much on here, anyway, thankfully. The Turtles fanbase, from my experience here, seems to have most of their marbles compared to the others I've belonged to.

He brings up some good points, in particular--the part where he goes "YEEEEEEEEESH."

Spot on.

If he were, he'd be trolled to death!

And, you'd be right about that. Observing from afar keeps you unbiased.

You're damn right, it does. Try to argue that Z comes before A in the alphabet, and you can be guaranteed a world-class flaming.

I was actually upset about something else, but I decided to use that emotion to express my feelings here.

Rule 34.

Falconhood · 10-17-2011, 05:49 AM

Generally accepted internet rule that states that pornography or sexually related material exists for any conceivable subject. ..
my brain can't accept that.
I'm going to go back to pretending that everything is sunshine and Brady Bunch.
I can't even imagine why anyone would think TMNT are sexy.
Not saying it's not true, just saying my brain can't accept it.
