The stupid! It burns!
There seems to be strong case of 'The Stupid' hitting a bunch of fandoms lately.
Like in the Harry Potter fandom where a fan stated they would never read another book again because there's no way it would be as good as HP. Umm... I get that they like HP but liking it so much you'd never read another book again for the rest of your life?! Yes, my mind boggled; especially when I saw there were some people actually agreeing. If they're that confident that HP really is the best book out there, why don't they read other series to prove they're right? I think they're scared they'd end up liking a different series better and don't want to be proved wrong.
Then over in the TRC fandom, fans are now coming up with a theory that TRC!Syaoran is the son of CCS!Syaoran and CCS!Sakura... O_o ...I'd never understand why some fans are so desperate to link TRC!Syaoran with CCS. I mean you don't find fans of other CLAMP series claiming that the TRC characters are the same/linked to the originals. I don't think those Syaoran/CCS fans know the meaning of AU.
And finally there's the CCS fandom. Okay, I admit that this one is my fault since after![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jlarinda posted a link to a really stupid CCS forum I decided to go take a peek at the place. The CCS fandom will never stop amazing me at how stupid they are. It's been years since that series has been completed and yet there's still so many fans that don't get that Eriol is the same age as Fujitaka and that Eriol/Tomoyo has a lot bigger age-gap than Eriol/Kaho. I mean Eriol = Fujitaka's age (early 40s probably), Tomoyo = Sakura's age (10), and Kaho = 20-something. Do the math idiots, do the math.
