Inspired by my saying which came up in an IM yesterday.

Face it, fandoms aren't serious business all the time. They're for fun. Come on, lighten up. Sure I like certain characters, concepts (fanmade or otherwise) or pairings and so on, but to sit and stew on the negatives is not what fandom is about. It's about having fun and finding people who agree with your opinions. You can laugh at your fandom (or with them) without being a horrible fan. It's the difference between getting offended at silly arts of your fave character and just taking it in stride and laughing at it. Just because you believe the character is otherwise doesn't mean there can't be some fun poked at them, ya know?

So laugh with your fandom and at it, but don't be a negative dick about it. Go find your fun and the people you want to share your fandom experience with. If Fans need to lighten up and that I will stand by. Sometimes I need to do the same too!

So seriously, unless it's meant to be a hurtful art or comment, then lighten up. <: ENJOY IT, DON'T MAKE YOURSELF MISERABLE.

I am not saying that if you don't laugh at certain things, you aren't a fan. I'm just saying some people need to lighten up and take things less seriously. Maybe you are a serious fan and like to be that way, fine. I'm not stopping ya. Just realize sometimes things you see are done for the laughs, not the pure hate.
