...but that, that very last thing you said, is exactly what makes me crazy about bandom.
when bandom complains that they're being oppressed, they accuse EVERYBODY who doesn't care for bandom. i'm not one of those people! i don't harangue you! and if you keep saying that i do, then i might as well start.
i didn't hate bandom until bandom repeatedly told me i did. do you see? do you get it?
and if you, one of my very good friends who knows me well, can come into my journal and tell me that i'm oppressing you by having an opinion about your fandom, how will any other member of that fandom even hope to make me think any different?
i don't hate the bands. i don't think any of you are wrong or bad for liking them. i don't pretend that you can't or shouldn't like them, i don't say you shouldn't write or that the writing sucks or that anybody or any part of bandom is stupid or in some way lesser because they like those bands. now if you will just stop telling me that i do, we'll get along fine.
