Just when I was starting to like fandom again...

[drakyndra]

People are doing that "Nine is better than Ten" thing again. It makes me want to cry.

Must I point them to the Chocolate Theory? Just because you like something more, doesn't make it better.

And now I am going to sleep and hope the universe is nicer when I wake up.

Oh, gods. Which site?

I'm just ever so slightly leaning towards other fandoms until some of it blows over.

At the point I posted this? TWoP, The OG and LJ.

I think it was the three pronged attack that got to me. I'd have been fine if it was one site, but three at once just got to me.

...ouch. I can see why.

(Why the bashing? Dismiss the writers, or the actor... but saying "this Doctor sucks" is just weird.)

I think it was just the sudden feeling of attacks at all sides that got to me.

*sighs* But I went and had a meeting and messed around and Chinatown. And now I have chocolate Pocky, which makes the world a better place.

Chocolate pocky truly does.

*ponders where chocolate pocky fits into the theory of Doctors*

Especially chocolate pocky with almond bits.

I dunno where you're talking about, but the one thread I'm reading is just a friend who says "I prefer Nine", which seems like an entirely reasonable thing to be able to say?

I like your theory in the idea of we all like chocolate, just prefer some kinds more but frankly I don't think you can make everyone think the some way, especially since some people just won't like the entire concept of chocolate and do have deep preferences (see: the widespread hate for Six who I haven't seen yet, am just using as an example). Some people are going to dislike Ten and prefer Nine and use the language of 'better' because they honestly see it that way; it's just the way it goes. You have to learn to ignore it, hon.

It's different places, I assure you - I'm talking three entirely different websites right now.

And I'm not trying to change what people think. It's just that there is a very important difference between "I prefer..." and "...is better". I try never to use "...is better" because I am entirely aware that it is just personal preference. The fact someone believes something doesn't necessarily make it true.
