>It's just that when people try to apply the concept of "purism" to fanfiction that I get a little twitchy.
I actually laughed out loud at this. Do people actually do this? It seems ridiculous, because for me fanfiction is like the opposite of purism.
>Usually, what someone means when they say "I guess I'm just too much of a purist," is that they really think theirs is the right view, but who are they to flout popular opinion? It's a passive-aggressive way of saying "I'm right, you're wrong, but I'm going to humor you. But I'm still right. Nanny nanny poo poo."
That and also: JA totally agrees with me. What they really should say is: I don't see things quite the same way as you do instead of the purism idiocy, but I suppose most of these people aren't honest enough to admit it (or even smart enough to realise it).
