I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled

I see memes going around- the Fandom Sins meme, the shipping meme, and I... um, am at a loss. 'My concept of shipping'? 'Cosplay and mimicking characters?'

Have you ever
Stalked some one online/at a con/at school, because of who they cosplayed/RP/remind you of?
Claimed a character as your muse/soulbond/head mate?
Claimed you ARE a given character?

To paraphrase the Brit sitcom that ran before, well, most of you guys were born, "they didn't do things like that when we were alive."

Trundles off with her walker and her fleecy booties...

...still muttering 'Concept of *shipping*???'

Saved from making idiots of ourselves by the fact there was no net, I suppose. Or cosplay. Even so, are these things as common as all that? Even five years ago they'd have been called pure batshittery.

sadly ... ALL of those listed on the list STILL exist ... *sigh* At least this time I know to avoid them.

Although I do attend cosplay events I think I am safe in that I don't know enough to wonder about the true batshittery that goes on there ... ^_~
