nnyI think I could deal with hatememes more if they were constructive.
I would quite like, I think, to be told that not I was hated, but something about my fic, my posting format, my personality. Something I could work on.
Whereas... hatememes just get bitter. Every now and then a good point is made, but it tends to be about someone who won't allow themselves to hear it. They'll just go and whine about it on their journals, and then their fans (because this kind of thing does tend to involve fans) will come and defend them, and that's where the trouble starts. Vitriol starts boiling, and people get needlessly mean, and feelings genuinely get hurt. And I don't really see the need for that.
Maybe because I'm too easily hurt myself.
Then again, it's entirely possible that were I to post such a meme it'd get no comments because it's easier to defend yourself by saying, oh, it's a hatememe, the people who post to them are all irrational and trying to be big', or whatever people say to rationalise such things. That's much easier than hearing something that one can do to improve oneself. It always is.
I dunno, what do you think?
And I'm gonna stop typing now because my hands are shaking and my fingers keep missing the keys.
