if you legitimately believe that DA fandom is more argumentative/wanky/rude than any other, you must be new to this world

Broodmother PR Rep: This. A thousand times this. This is the first fandom I’ve ever actually been active in. That is because I spent years on the internet simply watching various fandom communities.

Real “fandom wank” is not someone calling you out for saying something heterosexist or otherwise problematic from a social justice perspective, or someone respectfully pointing out that you seem to have missed a certain aspect of a character or event.

Real fandom wank is…I don’t even know how to describe it? Does anyone have any examples from other fandoms?

All I can ever really think of is HP fandom and the women who were “married” to Severus Snape on the astral plane. It was on journalfen’s fandom_wank, but I don’t know if it counts as actual wank or is more just WTF.
