ne is that in my opinion, while "This is all horrible, even the stories I haven't read" is unfair, "There may be good/enjoyable authors and stories in this lot, but I'm not looking for them anymore!" isn't always terribly unreasonable.
And that, in a nutshell, is the attitude that Min and I are complaining about, though she's doing a less emotional and more level-headed job of it than I am.
You're familiar with the comics, so you know the differences between Rogue's respective backgrounds and the resulting dynamics with Logan. I don't know whether you're familiar with the arguments among comic fans and particularly comicverse fanficcers about Logan's taking teenaged girls under his wing.
See, this I can understand. As a veteran of newsgroups and to use a BUffy example, I went through the Buffy/Angel, Buffy/Riley, Buffy/Spike discussions and flamewars. I don't need to go through 'em again now that Buffy/Spike and Cordy/Angel are canon.
However, I will say that most movie L/R fans didn't *know* that these were old arguments (though I at least should have realized that they'd be old hat to some, because what else is the internet for except to argue things like this into the ground?), and you know, indifference is fine, because I'm indifferent to a fair amount of fanfic in all of the fandoms I'm involved in. It's the flat-out, "Ew! Gross! You pedophile! Logan would NEVER!" bits that annoy me. 'Cause you know, you hit that 100th birthday and everybody is a kid to you.
But that's neither here nor there.
I hope that these discussions at least clarify *my* complaints/views of the fandom (both movie- and comic) without offending anyone else.
