stupid people don't post in comms please
After two posts to the same comm (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
xxx_holic) in a week basically dissing a major fandom pairing, to which most people seemed to have responded sincerely and politely, a shiny "response" in clamp_rants!
Seriously, we've all bitched about pairings in fandom, especially those that dominate the fandom...in "private" (personal LJ posts I do think of as sort of "private," though if they are not locked they are technically "public"). But posting on a comm? Oh, please. And the second post was either done by a total newbie to any fandom or was just plain disingenuous. If you can't get into a pairing from the get-go or after reading a bunch of fics (that don't suck), you'll probably never get into it...Unless you persevere and keep reading until you hit the fic/author that makes it click for you. And it still may never happen. I don't really think pairing preferences are logical anyhow, no matter how much fans (including me XD) love to use logic to justify their pairings (unless it really is canon, of course). *shrugs*
Looking through more posts inclamp_rants (most of which are really lame, btw), it seems there is much Fai-angst in Tsubasa? I wish I didn't know that, because I now don't want to read it! And I probably need to, since it's intruding into xxxHOLIC so much now. *sighs*
