It's funny how little things do still get to me. And while, I get them under control, most of the time, I'm easily upset. I've learned better, to rationalize and waits things out. I have patience and I've learned to judge things equally. But sometimes, and I suppose it is the same for all of us, that when someone has a negative opinion of a thing they love, it hurts. I've had people come to me and say there's nothing they love about SPN and well, SPN isn't in any way perfect, it's riddled with flaws, but I love it! And it hurts to hear things like that.
People are never the best judges. What other people love can be what other people hate. I'm guilty of it too when I talk about things I dislike. Hell, doesn't everyone bash Twilight? Even though we may have never read the books at all? I guess it applies to RP too, in its own way. I really want to change and stop disliking things because I don't understand them. I'm not sure if I can, but I'd like to. Maybe if I can make that small change, other things can change too.
It does make me miserable when people can't enjoy what I can. I guess, in a way, it makes me feel like I've failed somewhere, that I'm not able to share it.

I think one of the great things about fandom and people and such is even if someone doesn't love the canon they can love different things from the fandom or RP.

Yeah, that's tough. Intellectually, it's easy to say, well, everyone has different tastes and etc etc etc, but when somebody really doesn't like something I do, I end up feeling defensive -- like either I need to justify the canon or justify why I like it at all, and then I'm fussy, because whyyyy can't I just like things in peeeaaaace.
