User blog:AustinDR/What I Dislike the Most About the Fandom

OK, I'm saying it now: I am starting to despise the Loud House fandom. Not the show mind you, but the fans......now, not all of the fans of the series are bad -- heck, some are rather friendly -- a majority are childish. I love the show, but I can't stand these people: they complain about episodes if they concern Lincoln getting screwed over in some way. I mean, good god, they'd probably rave if Lincoln stubbed his toe. Case in point: No Such Luck. Now, I don't hate this episode primarily because Lincoln brought it on himself. Granted, the punishment went out of hand, but I didn't feel offended by any means. I felt that the episode was trying to say that if you lie, you end up getting left out. Yes, I know Lincoln gets thrown out of his house as well as having all of his furniture sold, but I felt that some fans were blowing the episode out of proportion. I mean look at "Brawl in the Family;" what does that episode teach? That you should butt out of others' business? Lincoln's sisters butt into his business all the time, so I don't think that's what it was trying to say. That episode was the worst schlock I've ever seen, but I don't go around trying to get a producer banned from the network, let alone threaten bodily harm on them, but some fans see any episode like BITF or NSL as sin incarnate. Just don't....if your life revolves around a television show -- to the point that the show has a few bad episodes -- you need help.

Now, the minor controversy. I commented on a drawing done by komi114. Now, I hold nothing against the guy; don't know him. He's probably friendly, but who knows? He recently made a picture of Lynn beating Chris Savino for "NSL." Even though Savino wasn't even the one who oversaw the episode. Now, he does great work; several of his drawings I genuinely love. But I declared that I wouldn't look at any of his pictures as long as I lived. Now, I said that not because I was being "oversensitive," but it further proved my point for the fandom in general. If you're so butthurt about an episode that you draw one of the characters beating the stuffing out of their creators, not only will I not take you seriously, but I will just lose respect for you. I was just really disappointed in komi114 even though I didn't know him. I just thought that he of all people wouldn't stoop that low to do that type of drawing. I mean, I hate "Brawl in the Family," but I would never draw a picture of the producers getting pulverized. Even if you were playing it as a joke, it was pretty obvious that the joke was badly executed, thus resulting in backlash. Now, he had apologized for the picture and that he wouldn't do anything like that again, but it'll be a long time for me to have respect for him again.

Oh, and as for you, WDGHK, I have a few things to say about you. For one, you decide to block me without giving me a chance to explain myself. Why? Were you threatened by the fact that I had a different opinion than you? Look, I didn't hate NSL, but that gave you no right to completely ignore my reasoning for it. If you disagreed with my explanation, that's fine, but it's another to just completely whitewash my points. And no, I wasn't sensitive because of who was being portrayed. See, this is why I hate the fandom. It takes episodes too seriously, they attack producers verbally declaring that they be removed, they are too sensitive whenever something happens to Lincoln (even when it would be partially his fault), etc. I guess that is all I have to say. Just don't try to warp my words. At the very least, there are some mature people in the fandom. That's always a start.
