Okay, folks, I apologize for this little rant, but I'm getting increasingly annoyed by the comments I receive on AO3. All in all, I don't receive much comments there - which is probably because my main audience is LJ-based - but about 50 % of those comments (and usually the longest ones) are just rants about Peter and how wrong *my* vision of the show is.
( I guess I should put a cut there. )
I think George Clooney sums it up rather well:
"We're at sort of a cynical time in society. Don't ever read comments on anything! People can live anonymously, and I honestly think that when they were talking about freedom of speech in 1787, the theory was that you had to own your speech. It had to belong to you, and you actually had to take some responsibility for it. Now you can just sit alone and say horrible things, and it becomes fashionable to be shitty to people. [...] It's become a much more cynical time, a time when people think its fun to only be negative."
There, I feel better now.
