Dear god. The wanking over The Last Airbender movie in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
katara_zuko and everywhere else on LJ today (o hai random comms suddenly paying attention to this fandom, wtf) is driving me nuts. How many posts are we going to have about "racefail" (which there WAS, yes, we've known for quite a while already) and "Ebert says it sucks" and "don't go see this, or else you're stupid".
Be aware now, if any of you tell me not to see it, simply because of what you've heard or you've seen it yourself and disliked it, I will remove you from my friendslist. I do not feel as though you are doing me a "favor" by telling me to believe something without having seen it with my own eyes first. Do me the courtesy of viewing it like those of you that have seen it have done, and I'll reserve my judgment of the film once I've managed to take it in for myself, not by second-hand info.
Apologies if this sounds harsh, but I have had just about enough of the self-righteousness of LJ, today.

no subject
Personally, I'm not that interested at the movie; but I understand where both the cruel and/or the optimistic attitude came from. You can diss the movie, sure. You can defend it. But forcing your opinions to others, and bullying those who don't agree with you? Na-ah. It's like shipper wars all over again.
What really irritates me is how the people who are complaining CLEARLY DID NOT DO THE RESEARCH before they complain. "They changed it, it sucks! They cut this! They cut that! OMG THEY GOT THE NAMEZ WRONG!! DON'T GO SEE IT!" and I was like, "What, you people did not know this?" And then they name-dropped the racebending community, which is good, don't get me wrong, but I get the feel that they just want to be ~*trendy*~ and bash the movie as hard as possible.
*sigh* Stay Classy, fandom.
