You all make people who Gush for Miri feel like complete morons, yet we who do that are only expressing our deep Affection and our Love to our LI. We are as much Mirimancers/Mirimaniacs as much as the rest of you, NOTHING lower. You want to gush at times, do not lie. You Love Miri as much as we do. What are you too chicken to Gush at times? Too much pride? Afraid we'd get a bad name? Well news flash, the Tali Thread is worse and filled with INCREDIBLY CREEPY fans who overrun the BSN EVERY DAY! They are indeed like that compared to us. Unlike them, we always have Dignity.
Let me see if I can offer a bit of an outsiders perspective on this issue. For the most part (at least, what I've seen), all of the character fan threads are filled primarily with intelligent, reasonable people who are merely taking part in a community of others who share a similar character appreciation, and that's exactly what it should be. Every group has a small percentage of excessive devotees that seem to be taking things a little bit too far, and that really does go for every character, whether it be Miranda, Tali, Liara, Kaiden or even Joker.
No disrespect intended, MEFFL, but this post is a
little over the edge as viewed by an "outsider" or "casual." Gushing about a character is one thing and I'm pretty sure we've all done it. But a sentence like "...expressing our deep Affection and our Love to our LI" sounds borderline excessive. Following that up by bashing another fanbase whose only real crime is to have a HUGE amount of followers doesn't help your credibility either. The Tali threads have certainly had their share of creepiness (I don't think anyone is proud of the 'sweat' discussion), but I can firmly remember some creepiness going on in this thread too in regards to dem assets.
