It's been a trend lately, that's all. And holy crap, so sensitive is everyone. By all means do whatever and post whatever you like- that was my point, after all. I was suggesting that the poster need not come on a thread and reprimand people for posting this or that. Thread nannies are a bore, for one thing, but the gist was that the person is always free to just scroll past and not be a downer for everyone else.
Right. Think I've had enough of BSN for one day.
People around here sometimes tend to forget your original point and lock on to the fact that you, unlike the current majority, are not excited over a possibly bi Fenris. I have to say that it's kinda sad, and generally makes everyone with a different opinion feel attacked, singled out, or unwelcome. Some debate is warranted (it's a much better read for me than pic spamming rabbits) and some disagreements will be had, but it seems the point became belittling each other with some exceptions.
I don't agree with homophobia and generalizations that people who like m/m are weird fangirls, but the obsessiveness definitely comes across a bit strong to those who have no interest in it. Personally, there is too much hard-core yaoi shipping (often incestuous, and of canonically straight characters) in most of my fandoms, and DA is one of the fandoms those groups of friends and acquaintances leave alone for various reasons. So DA is sort of my break from all that, and then I come here hoping for some good content (the lyrium thing wasn't bad) only to find pages of in-jokes, more pages of m/m, and more than a little snideness directed at people with opposite (if controversial) views. I mean, no one should be attacked for liking m/m at all, but they also should understand that some people are ready for a subject change.
And that's probably the best thing to do: change subject. It's just particularly sad when good questions or topics are ignored or glossed over in favor of the clique going all out, chatroom style.
I'm sorry others took your original comment, which was aimed at another person, as offense.
