I love folks in the Fediverse.
In other fan places people insist you must not "spread negativity" by saying negative things about a show or actor. I have even been warned not to post "things like this" or "you get what you deserve".
If I don't like a show I will very well say it. And if I think an actor's performance needs work, I will state it without prejudice.
I rarely do this, but I find fandom gatekeeping annoying & am so glad it doesn't happen here.

@liztai I was 😳😳😳 about how bad fandom gate keeping is, when I learned what it was 🙄🙄weird all together

@Kaetchi yea it can be anxiety provoking at times. And I even mod a 50k Reddit sub for CDramas - it is thankless work. Each time an actors name is brought up (whether positively or negatively) I brace for the fan fights that almost always happen right after 😂

@liztai i feel the whole gatekeeping makes discussions rather boring. Also the discussions are so weird sometimes, because a lot of it is idol focused, so how exactly is that a good argument, when a show gets pushed up in the ratings just because there is an idol in it?
Dramas have so much more depth. And it's not a bad thing to discuss pro/contra points of a Drama in a rational empathetic manner.

@liztai i totally lover "Love between fairy and the devil" because of several reasons and some of them were personal, but i can totally understand how you could not enjoy the Drama.

@bookstardust thanks for not killing me hahah. Just kidding, I know you are level headed.
I am just disturbed how people feel personally attacked when you don't like their fav actor or drama. Says a lot of society! I no longer engage in discussions for certain dramas or actors because of this (even tho I personally want to haha)
