LOL I know I've not been personally attacked, and I don't expect to be. And honestly, pariah is a word that I like because it amuses me. Don't know why. Maybe because on one of my other shows there's a stupid joke about someone being a "social piranha". Anyway, it was an exaggeration, and I tend to forget that internet tone is hard to read. So, yeah.
I'll shut up now, because it's probably starting to look like I'm backpedaling. LOL
I certainly get why fans with unpopular opinions would be hesitant to post them, but I've also found that once someone does, other fans with that same opinion come out of the woodwork, and you might find that opinion isn't as unpopular as you thought (or at least you know you're not alone lol).
I was actually a little surprised that there wasn't more than like two people who said they would watch it in this case. *shrug*
I'm not afraid of having unpopular opinions, or I wouldn't have written this. In my last fandom, I wrote a pairing with one of the most popular characters paired with one the fandom was generally disgusted by. Heh. I'd get maybe one comment on every three posts.
What made me hesitant here is that I was so firmly and adamantly in the other camp not too long ago. I hate that. I hate it when something makes me flip-flop. lol. I will never say I'm eating my words, because I still stand behind everything I said, but when the facts change, we all reevaluate.
