I found the [livejournal.com profile] sga_hate community and it's just disgusting...a bunch of people who are too damn cowardly to tell people what they think to their faces.

I get that people have different opinions about authors stories and don't always agree with others...but come on if you don't like someone's writing style or the way they post their fics there are nicer and better ways to let those people know, instead of slamming them annoymously.

Some people are just assholes, plain and simple. I don't even want to compare them to poisonous snakes because well poisonous snakes have more honor and purpose in life than some of these ya-hoos posting their crap in this stupid community.

I had no clue there were this many idiots in the sga fandom. Obviously they need to find another fandom if they hate so many things about it.

I agree so completely. I wish I could be one of those people that just shurgs and says that's just part of fandom, but it bothers me. There's no need for it, and it's kind of that mob mentality, because there's no reasoning with any of them when they've got the cover of being anonymous. It's not debate, it's not critcism, it's just flames, pure and simple.

I don't know how much it will help, but have a little good to balance the evil, [livejournal.com profile] sga_love cheered me up a bit.

God, that's awful.

I haven't clicked into it, as yet. But...just the thought alone is so off-putting.

I mean, if you don't like something, you just don't read it, yeah? It's not as if anyone's standing on the back of the reader's neck pushing them to do anything they don't want to.

Why would people read stuff just to bitch about it? Where's the joy in that. Isn't this meant to be creative and joyful - or at the very least a vaguely encouraging environment that people feel free to show off their creative endeavours. Jesus - that just really pisses me off. I'm going to try and ignore my curiosity and not look into it, because I need to follow my own advice and not read utter shit.

(May I ask - was there any helpful advice on the site, or was it all just people being uselessly cruel?)

It seems to be the latest thing. Apparently there's one for Buffy and a couple other fandoms. People hide behind anonymity and it's just... well, honestly, I think people like that say things to intentionally stir crap up and because they have nothing better to do. Too bad, huh?
