OH god the Wiki Walks. I feel for you. I've been actively avoiding TVTropes. XD

[matrixrefugee.livejournal.com]

Aggghh! yeah. And if it isn't just Wiki-walking, it's adding things to various trope pages (usually YnM entries :: laughs:: )

Dude, you're really brave - I don't have the courage to edit things on TVTropes, but then again, there are fan wars in my fandoms. >.>

Yeah, the YnM fandom is somewhat on the small but loyal side (due to the manga having been on hiatus off and on since 2001 because of the artist's health), though I'm told there were shipper wars back in the day (why there would be shipper wars involving the Little Black Dress of the fandom is beyond me, but I could just have an objective angle on it), and there's still some people who are all Draco in Leather Pants over Muraki (I have those moments, but they don't last long....). These days, it's rather a friendly group and for the most part, I'm rather glad I found it (aside from the incident of the yaoi fangurls that scared me).

That's a really really good thing. Ship wars are just... *sigh* Rrargh.

Especially when the Little Black Dress phenomenon is right there in the mythos; it makes no sense. What's wrong with a little polyamory anyway, especially if the characters are pretty much immortal and thus long-term relationships could be a bit of a detriment since there's the risk of the pair really getting on each others nerves after a century or two?

Not to mention the damage to an immortal if they lose their long-time partner... it makes sense in many ways.
