I'd rather think of apathy as absolute boredom, and antipathy for an actual hatred for both sides.Togs said:hmm... ive got a vocabulary question- if ambivalence is not caring about either side of an arguement whats the word for hating/being bored of both sides?
This. This is the answer to all of these threads.DarkRyter said:Entertaining show = Large, varied fanbase.
What's not to get?
Ooooooooh, I never thought about it that way; but it makes perfect sense!Worgen said:I'm gonna go with christianity having the weirdest fandoms around, I mean you have all these cults with their odd slash fanfic versions of the bible, then they fight with each other over whose fanfic is best, they have dedicated trolls that troll the funerals of competing fandom, parents and grand parents go to great lengths to make sure that their children and grandchildren become part of the fandom.

Apathy would be not caring about either side of the argument.SilentFlames26 said:I think maybe it should be apathy?Aiedail256 said:Cynicism?Togs said:hmm... ive got a vocabulary question- if ambivalence is not caring about either side of an arguement whats the word for hating/being bored of both sides?
Sorry, I misread the first quote, cynicism would be the best word in the situation.No. said:Apathy would be not caring about either side of the argument.SilentFlames26 said:I think maybe it should be apathy?Aiedail256 said:Cynicism?Togs said:hmm... ive got a vocabulary question- if ambivalence is not caring about either side of an arguement whats the word for hating/being bored of both sides?

Those guys are sports nerds. And gay guys are penis nerds, and Christians are Jesus nerds, and gearheads are car nerds, and grammar nazis are word nerds. Everyone's got something they enjoy (more often then not a little too much) and they're going to fight about whose dick is bigger. Even women have e-peen (Holy shit, that's a blast from the past. Yeah I'm bringing it back. Help me out Escapists.).Ghengis John said:Eh. I try not to judge anyone because I understand some of the things that I do are weird. I've for instance known many meatheads who can't stand "animoo" simply for being something they are unfamilair with. They will then insist that everyone who watches it is a weirdo and a dork then... they turn right around and commence their fantasy football leagues. Oh it is to laugh.
I know!! I mean when it comes down to itSuper Six One said:I don't understand the "Have to know" fans. You know those people who always want to understand why other people could be a fan of anything that they themselves don't like.
Excuse me, but I find that the adoration of all things cute and adorable should be the majority of adult culture in the West, thank you very much.Chefodeath said:Ponies. Love them or hate them you have to admit that MLP has gathered one of the weirdest followings...ever. Here is a show drenched in soft pretty colors with protagonists sporting names like "Fluttershy" and "Twilight sparkle" going on adventures to discover the magic of friendship. This show just screams "FOR FEMALES 8 AND YOUNGER!". So how in God's name has this show attracted the polar opposite of its core demographic, namely internet lurking males in the 16-24 range? That's like digging in Texas for oil and finding the bones of the russian royal family.
This, the speed of the Homestuck fandom amazes me beyond anything. They have art, and often full-fledged cosplays, out and ready within hours (sometimes minutes) of an update's release.Frezz said:The Homestuck fandom isn't really surprising in its makeup (teen/early-twenties kids with unbridled internet access, shocking) as much as its unbelievable speed in reacting to updates. I don't even know an anime fandom that produces fanart at the rate this thing does. D:
