Random Fandom Pet Peeve

[bubosquared]

The whole argument/idea that unless someone is a writer themself, they're not allowed to have/express opinions on someone else's writing.

Look, I can't cook for shit, but if something has too much salt in it, or bread is stale, or whatever, and the cook asks for my opinion, I'm gonna be honest. Just because someone is not a writer does not mean their opinions should not have any worth!

But see, you know that and I know that, but the McFandom doesn't know that.

There's a reason I've always deliberately kept myself out of the "inner circles" and the BNF-ness and the big socialising of fandom.
