Thunderdome: Glee fandoms

[tom87]

While I quietly get a kick out of the cast when they slap down the haters I think I prefer they ignore them tbh.

[shoregirl]

I do too. They just want attention no matter if it's good or bad so why engage them? It only reinforces their bad behavior. I get the satisfaction of calling them out but is it really worth the aggravation? I don't blame the cast and it is funny when they do call them out.

The thing is (at least with Chris's twitter), they get attacked and tweeted nasty vile things every day anyway. Sometimes calling the bullies out brings it out in the open to all followers which in some cases (I'd like to think) may be a deterrent for the future. There've been cases when people who were called out started apologising like crazy (don't know how sincere they were but at least they did it) because they were exposed as it were to everybody.

At some point people just have enough too. It's really disgusting. It's like people forget that celebrities are real people.

Matt's called people out on Twitter a couple of times. It was glorious.

[tom87]

Neither way is right or wrong and sadly nether way is going to keep people from being idiots.  My rational for ignoring is more for the celebrity not to get misinterpreted and cause some hoopla over a dumb tweet.

Well the whole point of Twitter is to actually post thngs. I think most people will forgive celebrities for minor snafus and blowing off steam can be therapeutic.

I noticed on Instagram the other day Naya posted a picture of her husband. Someone in the comments insists he's keeping Naya and Heather apart and that its Heather's baby! It takes some bullheadedness for a ship to be greater than science!

Also a Jennoist shipper deciding Melissa and Blake have got married in secret!

Ah, the Internet!

[tom87]

That is becasue they have both been seen recently with bands on their ring finger.

Yeah, I was just coming to say it's because of the red carpet pictures. And in their case, they have been a real life engaged couple to begin with, not a figment of people's imagination like the crisscolfer and HeYa tinhatting. 

[jaytee1812]

I knew the Melissa/Blake thing was at least based in reality. But most people wait before someone announces they're married before congratulating the happy couple!

[fakeempress]

Posing on a red carpet with wedding rings on, when they're guaranteed to be photographed, IS an announcement of sorts in Hollywood.

"Miarren" fanfic writers, CrissColfer shippers and the "abyss of social media staring back" have made it to The New Republic. 

"Rule 34 of the internet holds: If you can imagine it, there is porn of it online. It’s slightly different for the famous: If you can imagine it, there’s porn of you doing it. Mia Swier, a television producer and bassist in a punk rock band, has dated Darren Criss, a former star of Glee and a bona fide teen idol, for six years. The couple’s fans call them by a mash-up of their names, Miarren. Every now and then, Swier’s friends like to forward her fan fiction. A very special kind of fan fiction—erotic stories written by strangers about her and her boyfriend, laced with scraps of information culled from their tweets and Instagram posts. “We were on a road trip last spring, and one of our friends was doing dramatic readings of them,” said Alli Coates, an artist and Swier’s best friend. “It’s funny, but so strange,” Swier said. “Being closely associated with someone in the public eye—which was never something I really wanted or thought I would be—it wasn’t a predicament I thought I would find myself in.” --- and goes from there.
