Merlin on BBC سوال

Who else thinks that the Merlin fandom is one of the worst?

I'm مزید talking about Tumblr (because on fanpop everyone seems to be very nice and respectful of one another). But Tumblr is terrible, so much ship and character bashing, some of those Merthur شائقین drive me up the wall, I swear some of them are mentally unstable. This is one of the most childish fandoms I've personally ever comes across, have آپ seen any worse?

Plain and simple it is disgusting. Again, I reiterate I have no issue with anyone being gay. I do have a very viceral reaction, however, to someone perverting friendship because of their own lame sense of what sexuality is. Most often, this is not being done سے طرف کی the gay community at large but سے طرف کی prepubescent females, whose own sexuality and personal identities are thwarted most often. They feel inadequate as women, so they thrive on trashing other females who are involved on screen with the males they would desire and مزید than likely would not give them the time of دن in RL. Thus, they can deal with, emotionally unstable as it sounds, the males being with one another because it takes the female of the species out of the picture and makes them feel better about themselves.

Ironically, the object of loathing is actually themselves. They feel inadequate and caged so they get ugly to their own kind.

THWARTED..that is what they are. We can only hope they grow out of this behaviour pattern. They don't actually know what friendship looks like and to extol incest as normal یا acceptable is really frightening and might have bigger ramifications for their ہوم lives, which is even مزید sad.

ive been in the buffy , TVD and other fandoms , so yes the merlin fandom is the worst.
some (im tempted to say all cause ivent met a lot who arent like that) merthur/incest شائقین can be very crazy and annoying and im talking about tumblr here cause on the post , it has been ok and quiet

tumblr is known to be the ہوم of haters cause people in REAL LIFE dont share their opinions

i dont think those shippers can say out loud to their friends/family in real life that they want a brother/sister to fuck each other یا that they want merlin/arthur to be gay and sleep with each other all دن long so they come on Tumblr and hate the rival ship to make them feel better about their own crappy life.

آپ can hate an annoying and bad character , its common sense , who never felt annoyed سے طرف کی a villian? but hating a character based on her color/type of beauty is just wrong.

Agreed. I don't even understand how آپ can 'hate' a character for no real reason. The 'Merlinconfessions' website on Tumblr has reminded me why I keep away from a lot of the Merlin fandom, which is sad because I really love the show.

I really agree with this statment. I keep coming across posts like "all Mergana شائقین should go and f-ing die and get a life, gay twats" and other offencive and un-nessecary تبصرے like that for no apparent reason. I may be a hypercrit, as i have کہا things against ships but nothing being directly horrible to the shippers, i've just کہا that i don't think that there's a verry big chance of the couple getting together. So many شائقین (Armor and Merthur/B/K and C/B) are just unbelivable. Making up horrible rumours about the actors personal life with absaloutely no evidence whatsoever, and then being horrible to someone if they disagree. It's all unbelivable. I'll stop at that before i go on forever, but i completely agree with your post Naima.

I ship Merthur, but I don't agree with the incestual shipping یا with character hating. I also don't agree with actor shipping, particularly Brolin. There is clearly a lot of chemistry between Merlin and Arthur, which some interpret in a romantic way. I don't think there's anything wrong with shipping two male characters, although I agree that the Merlin fandom seems to get a little too... fanatical about it. On another point, my parents agree with me on Merthur.

Can't agree with you. There are some really nice people on Tumblr I got in touch and they respect me in all the way while here I've been bullied several times سے طرف کی Arwen shippers. Actually, it's the peps from here that made me a 'hater' like one کہا from just a random Morgana fan. Don't devide people to fanpop-polite and tumblr-sick because آپ are making your own actions childish. Probably, آپ just met the wrong people.

says the person who is always making rude comments. We call آپ out blah because آپ always contradict yourself, آپ say rude stuff and then say آپ don't care. Now, just because آپ met a few nice one doesn't make them all good people. Again, says the person who just stereotyped Arwen shippers. Go on tumblr and see the shit they right about angel, and then come back. I have never seen someone once disrespect آپ on here, آپ are always the one disrespecting others.

I've never used tumblr, I've just had to google it to know what it is.
Anyway, I'm one of the people who don't understand this thing of making characters gay that clearly aren't, not just on Merlin, but on other shows like Supernatural.
Especially fighting with other شائقین about it? Really?
Another thing that bothers me is that if you're not ok with that sort of shipping, then you're automatically homophobic, which is offensive because I'm not, I'm just realistic.
Don't they know what a real friendship looks like?
Anyway, this things are gonna keep existing, so I've learned to ignore them.
But thank all of آپ for the answers, it's a little مزید clear now.

Thank you! I hate that too, if I دکھائیں the slighest bit of distaste towards the merthur ship people automatically call me homophobic which I find personally offence because I am the furthest thing from it. I love Merlin and Arthur's brother-like friendship and I don't get why people turn it into something sexual and insult the writers for not writing in their obsure ships. I think that we're lucky to have fanpop becuase I hardly see any hate (well nothing compared to Tumblr anyway).

I totally feel the same way. I don't have tumbler but i hate the way people obsess over gay shippings. i'm not homophobic- i have 4 gay دوستوں and a gay cousin- but it's just not right for the characters.

Simply this:
Those people who are incest obssessed are sex addicts and sex addicts are people with a problem....
Sorry to make it sound so blunt but there it is. I am not offended when people express their opinions but when they force it on other people because they themselves are insecure about their opinion, it makes me mad.... آپ are entitled to your گیا پڑھا مرتبہ and I am entitled to mine, so don't bash me just because I disagree with you.... deal with it.
Sorry, I realize that was a rant but hey... It's how I feel.... GO ArWen!! hehehe ^_^

Not everyone has the same opinion and گیا پڑھا مرتبہ as everyone else. What some people see as a strong friendship over people see as slight romance. It doesn't really matter what other people think though. No one ever asked آپ to look/read/think about it.

Also, The teletubbies has the worst fandom in my eyes. (mainly cause it's a childrens show.)

Now this is something most merthur shippers need to know.
Gay baiting یا Queer baiting is the oldest trope in the entertainment business aka capitalism. Merthur شائقین are not being progressive shipping slash, what they are doing is being used and pandered to. Merthur is one of many white male cis non gay relationships that have been used to score ratings. Batman and Robin, ڈریک and Josh, and now Merthur. The gay subtext is not revolutionary, gay subtext is not something amazing آپ are seeing, the gay subtext is being used as a trope to make شائقین keep watching the show, there is a reason why they make B&C do tv promotions together and set together everywhere. They are using homosexuality as a "commodity" and آپ people don't realize it. Why do آپ think they decided to make Merlin into a young man and Arthur as his peer, "we were inspired سے طرف کی smallville" yeah, then why couldn't they do a story on just Merlin's young life before he met Uther. It's okay to ship slash, but آپ don't have to be sexist and disrespect homosexuality to do so. Many شائقین use homosexuality as a form of entertainment, and this is wrong and ignorant, آپ don't know what a homosexuals relationship is like, so don't us it to get your kicks off. Fangirls, آپ are not being progressive shipping slash, آپ know what is progressive, voting for marriage equality and equal rights for trans gender-ed people in domestic violence situations. My rant is over, mature and educate yourselves.

I don't pretend that that shipping guys is progressive یا revolutionary at all. I also see the Queer baiting in shows such as Merlin, but every دکھائیں plays to its audience, that's how they become succesful. To me, the relationship between Merthur is a really beautiful thing, whether آپ interpret it romantically یا platonically, and that's why I ship them. It's not homosexuality that is the enticing factor, but the characters themselves.

FandomShipper said:
Well, currently I am annoyed at the Merlin fandom because I am new to it, so I'm still watching the series, and whenever I want to go talk about it on a Merlin fandom page, they don't even TRY to hide any spoilers. They just post willy nilly, and ruin everything. And so I'm sitting there, trying to escape the page before they spoil EVERYTHING for me. And it's just ridiculous. It's like they are the only fandom that thinks everyone that's a part of it has already watched the whole damn series. And that's not the case. So as a fandom I think they have been disrespectful to those who want to be a bigger part of the fandom. and they are making a bad name for the fandom in general, so I don't even want to tell people that I'm a Merlin پرستار because I don't want to be associated with the label that they have made for the Merlin fandom.

FandomShipper, if آپ haven't watched a دکھائیں all the way, and آپ go on tumblr, آپ WILL see spoilers, no matter the fandom. It's just the way it is and always has been. This isn't just the merlin fandom. Every single fandom does this. Just look at this post and look how many notes it has:link

It is VERY hard to write a thorough and thoughtful analysis and consider the bigger picture and every facet of development while trying to pander to this "no spoilers rule" I find your blaming a bit misguided.

So we're stuck up for not liking the amount of hate present in the Merlin fandom...right. I don't care if "every fandom & ship has its faults", the Merlin fandom crosses the line. I'm aware there's faults but i've never seen as much sexism and aggression in any other fandom.

Late reply. But when people make sexist and racist SLURS, I will put them down. I won't stand سے طرف کی and be ok with horrid behaviour like that. I haven't been part of the fandom for years now but I still have memories of what horrid people were involved.

As painful as this must have been primarily for Angel Coulby to have been the catalyst for all of the vitriol that came out of the Merlin Fandom... (and secondarily painful for everyone who worked on the دکھائیں who were also pure at دل the way the producers were when they opted to colorblind cast a character as clearly socially charged as Guinevere)... as painful as it is for all of us to witness how LOW humanity can really go... 5-6 years.. we can look back and see the kind of fear and pain society is in that they would target one individual so brutally. To be honest I haven't "seen" the entirety of the things کہا but I hear about it indirectly like this and in a way, it is a legacy to the pain in the collective that needs clearing and healing still. Around issues of race and the 1% standard for physical appearance. It was a huge sacrifice on Angel's part to be a catalyst for this collective healing. #lovemerlinhateracism

This post comes as a shock to me. I've been in other fandoms (7 others, to be exact), and as of late, the Merthur/Merlin fandom has been the nicest, most polite one I've known. I've actually found that merlin شائقین on fanpop have been considerably ruder than the ones on tumblr, though, especially when it comes to homosexuals/characters/show in general (and آپ would NEVER see a post hating on anyone like this post right here on the Merlin side of tumblr). The Merlin fandom is so nice and wankfree that it literally felt like a huge gulp of fresh air after drowning in my former fandom.

I don't know if you've only just recently joined the fandom یا something, after the دکھائیں finished and the hate has died down almost completely. But when the دکھائیں started and was airing I would see hate and racist/sexist تبصرے towards characters everyday. So don't آپ dare act like I'm the one creating hate out of nowhere, I've never made racist تبصرے towards the only female black actress on the show, and I've never گیا کیا پوسٹ countless posts of hate towards Gwen's character, unlike countless others.

I don't think @splashstorm was insulting آپ @goodybyemra. I belong to the Merlin fandom, and primarily to the Doctor Who, Sherlock and Harry Potter fandoms, and I don't think I've ever seen any horrible racist/sexist/homophobic تبصرے in all my time.

Late reply haha But I never insinuated that Slash insulted me. I was just put-off that Splash would assume I would "make-up" hate. And trust me, just because آپ didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't there. Obviously I haven't been part of the fandom for years now but it was very toxic. I literally saw numerous racial slurs towards the shows only black actress. How that can't be viewed as toxic is beyond me.

The Once fandom man. It's awful. The ship wars are pretty bad here but at least no one has threatened the creators یا bullied the actors over them yet. "He retired from acting in 2015, after being publicly embarrassed on Twitter for attacking Once Upon a Time شائقین with homophobic remarks." His remarks weren't even that homophobic until the شائقین started attacking him and provoking him. Granted he handled the situation wrong too but he had an entire fanbase on his پچھواڑے, گدا and they got him to quit acting entirely.

TL;DR سے طرف کی comparison to the Once fandom, this one is a چائے party. Though I have seen a lot of anti-gay stuff here on this spot. I just ignore it...or I try to.

Fair enough, though this post was created years پہلے when the fandom was active. Back then I'd see racist/sexist slurs on the daily and was obviously horrified. I'm sure the fandom has died off now considering the دکھائیں hasn't been on air for years now.

Personally, I feel that there is a good and a bad side to ever fandom and that there are a lot of Merlin شائقین who take it way to personally that people don’t ship who they do. However, I don’t think we should disregard people who ship Merthur all together as fanatics یا nutcases who feel the need to read too much into a show. While watching Merlin I personally noticed a lot of subtext and connections around Merlin revealing his magic / coming out and the stigma attached to being a sorcerer / gay. Now I am fully willing to accept that some people may not see this the way I do and I have absolutely no problem with that, part of the point of ویژن ٹیلی is that it is up to interpretation. I simply feel that we should respect everyone’s opinions on this matter and remember that it is just a tv show.
