OK this is... a plurk, about my brain and the plurks that come out of it
Quinneapolis
I don't know how to freeze comments on a plurk so pretend I did that for a while

Disclaimer: All of my friends are into shit I don't like, just like I'm into shit all my friends don't like, that is the miracle of consumable media
Quinneapolis
It's all different and people like or dislike tons of things for different reasons and that's great

There it is thanks
Quinneapolis
Anyway the other thing is that I, personally, enjoy the feeling of directed salt
Quinneapolis
If I don't like something, I enjoy picking apart why, and if it's something that really bugs me I can find the experience of digging into it to be empowering somehow
Quinneapolis
Why? 
Quinneapolis
even
even
Quinneapolis
get you a quinn who can do both
Quinneapolis
ANYWAY
Quinneapolis
When I say "this canon is bad" or "this aspect of this canon is bad"
Quinneapolis
that is a judgment of quality, which is inherently subjective
Quinneapolis
I do not, in all but the most extreme cases, mean "so nobody should like it"
Quinneapolis
I mean "I don't like it"
Quinneapolis
And when I'm doing that, most of the time
Quinneapolis
I'm doing it because I am using plurk as a space to vent about a thing I don't like
Quinneapolis
I am not really interested in getting into a debate about whether or not the thing I don't like is bad
Quinneapolis
I just want to salt about it
Quinneapolis
Just like I don't want to get into fights defending something I liked that other people didn't like on plurk
Quinneapolis
If I'm on the fence about something I'll make a post about that and do a debate about it, or if everyone likes osmething I don't I might make a plurk trying to understand what it does for people
Quinneapolis
but if I say "I dont like thing" then that's just because I dont like thing
Quinneapolis
and if you do like thing, great
Quinneapolis
go like thing and have fun with thing
Quinneapolis
I don't especially want to start a fight from the position that I don't believe in of "thing is objectively bad"
Quinneapolis
Vent spaces are good to have, both for things I like and things I don't like
Quinneapolis
If I'm venting about something you like, y'all are free to think "what a dumbass" and mute me and move on
Quinneapolis
We'll all be happier that way
Quinneapolis
I am constantly muting plurks of people disliking things I like and liking things I dislike, I do not want to go in there and try and be like "but the thing is bad/good why all this" I'll just let em have that space
Quinneapolis
that is the energy with which I am plurking and with which I like to plurk
Quinneapolis
if you don't like that then, uh, I'm very sorry
Quinneapolis
you're free to not interact
Quinneapolis
Side note this does not mean "don't say anything in my plurks if you disagree with me unilaterally"
Quinneapolis
It just means "please do your best to identify what is a vent space and if it's not your energy then you don't have to go there"
Quinneapolis
"and if you do go there then please don't turn my 'vent about X' space into a 'defend my opinions about X in an intense debate' space"
Quinneapolis
OK thanks for coming to my ted talk and sorry for making it weird
Quinneapolis
done and unfrozen
Quinneapolis
I'll do my best to mark them more clearly with [negativity] and the like
Quinneapolis
Unfriending amnesty if this isn't gonna work out
raspberrydrink
yeah I had to bug outta that plurk but it wasnt cuz of you Quinn
raspberrydrink
it's was just getting way too intense considering, ya know, vidya games
Dragons Dragons
Yeah. I'm sorry for all the Must Defend Thing plurk-crashes I've done in the past. I've been muting things like the anti-Anohana stuff recently since it's better for all involved.
Quinneapolis
Anohana in particular is in a weird place where like... I was watching it and could 1000% see all the good powerful stuff in it and totally get why it's so beloved
Quinneapolis
it just happened to hit all of my personal bad buttons really early

I appreciate that you are negative about things without being about the people who like those things (unless liking the thing is inherently Problematic).
Quinneapolis
that's what I try to do
A Grinning DM
I had a blow-out argument with someone recently because they broadcasted that anyone who cares about Star Wars “should try reading a book sometime” and it’s like... 
. It’s fine if you hate a thing that I love or love a thing that I hate (unless that thing is like, Mein Kampf), but tearing people down for their different opinion is some horseshit.
