Unpopular fandomeme

Pinched this one from perdiccas and terraswrath.

Ask me about anything fannish and I will give you my unpopular opinion about it.

It can be anything, from shows, ships to fandom itself; all unpopular opinions will be genuine. If I don't have an unpopular opinion on something, I'm not going to make it up.

I'm not going to bitch for the sake of it, but if I do have something less than popular to say, I won't keep it to myself.

I'll avoid the obvious. :)

How about the general topic of RPS/RPF?

I'm not sure that my views on RPF/RPS are unpopular because I know a lot of people who share them. I consider RPF to be my main fandom, if it could be considered a fandom in its own right, and in that I am as pedantic about detail as I would be about things related to a fictional fandom that has published "canon". There seems to be lots of imaginary lines and squick triggers for many people in RPF - the fact that it happens at all; the mention of real-life partners; the use of real-life events as context. But all this is meat and drink to me. Anyone who writes RPF that doesn't reference anything to do with that person's life is essentially writing an original story with characters that have familiar names. I don't think I have a squick for anything in RPF at all except stuff that I consider to be out of character.

*waves the Quincest banner, because hey, how can RPS get any more squicky for the whiners out there?*
