There's an unpopular fandom meme going around, but I can't really think of anything at the moment. Instead I'm going to point at and mock this post:

http://community.livejournal.com/startrek/978680.html

It seems to happen in every single fandom that has older versions of something new: the hard-core fan who doesn't want other kinds of fans (usually new fans) to exsist (like, anywhere) because "THIS FANDOM IS MINE MINE MINE AND YOU CAN'T BE ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE YOU'RE DESTROYING THE PURITY OF THIS SHOW/MOVIE/BOOK/COMIC!!!! *STOMP STOMP STOMP*" Mwah.

You know, they could've just posted YOU DAMN KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN! and it would've been about as effective.

By the way, if someone is trying to be all More Old School Than You, it would be better not to do it with an animated GIF of a character from TNG who was forcibly grafted onto DS9. I'm just saying.

Complete with a cane-shake and turning on the hose. :D

*SNORTS*

Oh good lord.

Hilariously, I'm an old school Trekkie who is LOVING the new fannish glee in the wake of the movie. The macros, gifs, and action figure theatre picspams showing up on

ontd_startrek are HILARIOUS.

EWWWWW.... FANGIRL COOTIES.

I also kind of lolled about how fandom_wank has jumped on this one as OMG OLD SCHOOL FANBOYS ARE IDIOTS, yet when it comes to Doctor Who...

Yes, only Old School Fans are relevant and authentic. All newcomers should be shot.

What do they think HAPPENS to a fandom if new people never join in?

LOL...wow!
It's been a while since I've read anything that ridiculous...thanks for the entertainment today. :)

Very special, yes? :D

You're totally a SPY!!

This is because in DW old school fans are correct and new fans really do have cooties. DUH.

*headdesk* surely within the infinate bounds of the internet there *is* space for all of us? Why must people get so territorial about their interests?

HOW SILLY OF ME.

*WAVES OLD SCHOOL CRED* I WATCHED THE DOCTOR BACK WHEN HE DIDN'T HAVE SEX. PLEASE APPROVE OF ME.

Things die out, but THEY ARE PURE! And then they wind up stealing the body of a blonde and snogging the hell out of a manic depressive alien. It's sort of a strange path.

It is pretty amusing, isn't it? :D

HAH! I always expect links like that to make me angry -- but instead I just cackled. Thanks for that. :D Poor old skool fanboys.

Because if everyone doesn't think exactly the same way I do, how can my thoughts ever be validated?

I am way too lazy to be a spy.

NOPE. SORRY. You got cooties the second you said you liked the R word. And there's no cure.

Only a spy would say that!

*pats them* Must be horrible to have to share the intarwebs with icky icky girls!

Someone needs to do a "Do you have Old School Cred?" quiz. You know, "What are your thoughts on David Tennant as Ten?" A) OMG SO CUTE I LUFF HIS HAIR LOL or B) HE IS NOT THE DOCTOR, HE IS TOO MUCH LIKE AN EXCITABLE CHILD. AND HE DOESN'T LIKE ROSE, EITHER. HE'S MORE LIKE HER DAD.

And then everyone can know how many old school points they get! XD

Oh what do you know, you're just a fangirl ;D

BWAH!!!!

Would there be a question about LOOOOOOOOOOOMS?

Of course.

HOW DO TIME LORDS REPRODUCE?
a) OMG TEH DOCTOR LUFFED ROSE AND THEY HAD SEX ALL DAY AND HE NEVER LOVED ANYONE ELSE.
b) LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMS. TIME LORDS WERE TOO GOOD FOR SEX.
