After a whole lot of research into various pieces of TF lore and info, I came across some web-pages here and there that talked about obsessive fans. Mainly over the original G1 series.
*takes off G1 badges and takes out a lighter*
After seeing how crazy some fans get over this, after reading how they bash everything that came out after 1985, after seeing how serious they act over these fictional characters and read into different stories or a character's lines, reading about how selfish some of them act at the expense of others, witnessing their arrogance at how they can think their version of TF is the best, how they put Transformers above everything else to common sense to common decency and respect, after having to have my already questionable low IQ brought down even lower after reading their backward logic and dim-witted rants of so-called reasoning which couldn't stand up to a truly intellectual minded person, after realizing that they are wasting their lives, hurting themselves and throwing away their precious time given to them to spend on this beautiful planet just so they can write these grade-3 level piece of fiction to justified their twist and sick view of their character 'doing it' for the sake of it and other reasons that I can't get into on a PG-13 message board, after having to deal with trolls have can't grasp the intellectual speculation that others may simply enjoy having with other like minded individuals and have to try and force their opinions on you like a crusade, after seeing and reading and having to experience all that, I hear by reject any and all G1-ness that I may have grown up with and would like to state that I love Transformers!
While I may not love all aspects of Transformers, I will not take any dislike that I feel for the franchise to the lows of immaturity that plagues the fandom. Sure, I don't like the first three movies and I've stated my reasons but I don't care that it's not a G1 movie. And I did actually enjoy the forth one. And sure I can't watch TFA, but I won't knock anyone who does. Because to be honest, I can't really watch the original G1 series anyways. It doesn't have the edge I enjoy in the entertainment I usually watch. Most animated shows don't with the except of some Batman cartoons (not the animated series) and Ghost in the Shell animes, and I don't like most animes. If my kids became TFA fans and even the old and new RID fans and even Rescue Bots fans, I couldn't be happier. And not for the sake of my kids becoming TF fans, because it would mean we would have something in common that maybe years later we could always have fun with together. Its like how my parents love Star Wars and we all get excited over the movies coming out.
While I will always critic and praise the good and best parts of each series, and pull and rip off what I like and love for my RPGs, I will never let it make me ignorant or let myself turn ugly over a product made for children to enjoy and disguise it as intellectual discourse or as a creative person's disgust for something they feel they could of done better. When I do post here and invite others to talk about what makes sense to them or what they think works or simply what they like in the Transformers universe, it will be for the fun experience of learning and plain old fashion fun.
Thank you, rant over, I love you guys!
