stulti's readers would never stand amazed and admiring of all my mad panty incineration skillz.
It is an actual sock. And if there's anyone whose panties have been incinerated, I'm more than happy for them not to know it was me. Actually, I've only posted to it a couple times, since the drive to write that particular sort of filth only moves me every once in a while.
a) b) c) d) e)
I think it's probably some combination of all of these! Although I have noticed in particular b), and am particularly interested in c) and d). One of the reasons I love fandom (and living with my_daroga is that I'm so much more aware of all the failsauce, which I think in general is good. While it might make c) true for some people, I never really liked much television (BtVS was one of the first shows I took an active interest in; the others were either cartoons or quite small, little-remembered things).
And then there's d). There are some things I really, really enjoy, but feel like I can only talk about how much I liked them by first qualifying it with all the things I didn't like about them. Which in some ways, I do feel is kind of important, because it does raise awareness about the fail and that's important. But as you point out, it can also be detrimental to expressing the way you feel about something.
What I don't like is how if I point out what's wrong with something, they don't believe me when I say that I enjoyed it, or, when I say I enjoyed something, people translate that into thinking I mean it's good. I recently had the experience of saying I enjoyed something (even after I qualified it) and someone else essentially saying, "but that movie is bad." And yes, I agree. In fact, my disapproval of the movie in question (The Dark Knight) is probably even more violent and visceral than theirs--precisely because I do enjoy it.
I don't know. I guess if I think a thing is bad I should enjoy it or if I enjoy it that means it's good. Or something. But I don't think so.
I mean to say, I think people like it when I post squee.
I like squee a lot.
Stulti, trust your brain. It's way ahead of you.
Heeeeeeeeeee. Cool.
NOW I'M REALLY CURIOUS.
Maybe you should try it. See what happens. Ever since I was quite young, I've always felt very strong divisions between, well, "higher" brain things vs "lower" brain things, which means intellect vs emotion but also, say, emotion vs sexual desire. That is, emotion isn't usually thought of as cerebral, but it can certainly be more intricate and complex than a libido. Gah I don't know if I'm making sense again.
