Many people think I just hate ‘critical’ ‘fans’ because I’m a fanboy.

If only my hatred went that shallow.

Let me tell you WHY I hate ‘critical’ ‘fans’:

First off, to call these people ‘fans’ would be a fucking laugh. Have you ever heard of a fan that will try their absolute best to get the media they are a fan of cancelled and the creators shamed? How about ones who will try their fucking best to slander the creators? Or ones that will outright REFUSE to say one fucking good thing about the show OR creators? Sounds more like a hater than a fan RIGHT? because that’s what they are: haters who just wear the skin of a fan so people will pay attention to them.

Secondly, to call these people ‘critical’ would be so wrong I wouldn’t be able to STOP laughing! These people will stick their heads into the sand when watching a show, create a delusion of the show and then act like that is the show. This is the ONLY excuse for the amount of information they will get wrong between seemingly willful misinterpretation of scenes, misinformation about certain lines and outright LIES, all of which would make a critic curl up in the corner in shame. They aren’t critical at all: they fundamentally LACK critical thinking skills.

Next: They’re basically parasites. You know about parasitic wasps that lay their eggs inside caterpillars and when the eggs hatch, they eat their way out of the host and break free while killing the caterpillar? Well, imagine the wasp as these people, the eggs as their own ideas for the show and the caterpillar is the actual show. Thing is: they think their headcanons and fanfics are the best shit ever and that if the show even deviates a single bit from their plan, they freak and demand they do exactly what they say or else they’ll demean and belittle the creators until they listen or the creators kill themselves in which they’ll just start pissing on the graves. Oh and trust me, this is the best way I can describe them because a more adept and correct comparison would be to compare them to DOMESTIC ABUSERS.

Or how about a cult? Because god knows these people act like a fucking cult. Walk up to one of them and start telling them that their delusional way of ‘criticizing’ the show is wrong. Watch them flip out and call you a fanboy (AKA ‘heretic’) and watch as they treat you like the devil for daring to disagree with their holy gospel. Not to mention how they tend to be kind of brainwashy. I had a friend once who was actually pretty smart and actually gave a shit about creators. He interacted with these people and his IQ dipped about 75 points and now thinks that everyone who disagrees with him is wrong.

Oh yeah, these people are also MASSIVE hypocrites. They’ll say shit like ‘tone doesn’t matter to criticism’ or ‘the customer is always right’ but I dare you to treat them with a TENTH of the contempt they treat content creators. You’ll get a bunch of screeching, accusations of harassment and then be called a Nazi or something like that. Because god forbid they live up to the standards they set for others. Just as well, go ahead and start asking them why they don’t treat their favorite show like they treat this show. grab some popcorn too and watch as they desperately try to keep you from figuring out their bias.

They also fuck over the entire development process of a creator. I can respect fans because they show what the creator’s audience is. I can respect critics because they help a creator appeal better to their audience. I can respect haters because they show the creators what they’re audience ISN’T. Haters play a positive role in the creation of development of a creator and their work. I cannot respect these people because they fundamentally FUCK OVER the entire process by disguising themselves as fans and then trying to hijack the show as the primary audience. All while bitching at the creators who grow to hate their fans and become desensitized to criticism as it drowns out anything worth their time.

And then we have how they don’t give a shit about the creators. The creators want to make something a certain way or use certain writing tools or ideas? NOPE, gotta do what they say or else they’ll hound you until the day you die. You want to have an opinion about a show that they disagree even .0001%? NOPE, you’re a shit content creator then so you better just toe the line and never speaking out of turn. You wanna say a message or portray ANYTHING in a way they disagree with? NOPE, you’re a shit person and you deserve all the hate in the universe! Because to them, content creators are fucking slaves who do exactly as they’re told or else.

And I could go on and on all day about this but you get the idea. This has NOTHING to do with me liking a show, this has EVEYRTHING to do with me hating these people because they seem fundamentally awful and horrible while knowing what they’ll do to creators if left alone *cough* Hideaki Anno *cough* death threats *cough* End Of Evangelion *cough*.

I hate them because they are amoral, self centered, egotistical, sociopathic people.
