Thank you, katara_zuko, for deleting that link to the fandom hate meme. The last thing the ATLA fandom in general needs is more hate, especially recently.

Is there a community dedicated to reminding people why they enjoy their fandom? I think the anonymity of those fandom secrets/hate things lends itself to the most ridiculous petty nonsense.

Not that I know of, at least for the fandoms I'm involved in.

I understand the need for people to vent, but mob mentality tends to run rampant at these secrets/hate comms, and the resulting sploogefest is never pretty, nor does it ever present an unpopular point of view in any kind of positive light. They're pretty much lacking any rational thought. It's better to just rant in your own journal, or in a fandom-appropriate comm.

Amazing that people will spend so much time on what they don't like about a fandom and so little on what they love about it.

I also understand the need to vent, but these always seem to be "let's see who can leave the most scathing comment that masks the fact that I would never have the balls to say this to a person's face" competition.
