Guys, please keep discussions of other fandoms to a minimum okay? You can always take it to another community.

What really makes me feel anxious about this community is not people clogging up threads with off-topic or things I'm not interested in, but people being told to better take their talk elsewhere and that leading to them worrying about bothering someone with what they post. I rather see them spam but have fun and connect. I only feel safe about reading the prompts, fills and anon commenting on them. And I think I should stick to that.

Oh, dear! I'd like to know if other posters feel that way.

Yes, I don‘t mind some other topics being discussed either, if we can talk about our cultural backgrounds, why can‘t we talk about Star Trek or something else for a bit?
And aren‘t it always topic junctions and coincidences which lead to the really interesting conversations?

I'm making it up as I go along, I'm not trying to be punitive. Sorry if it comes off that way.

I also don't see what's wrong with people mentioning other fandoms here, or why they should be called out like this for doing so. Especially in this case where it's still extremely relevant and brief. I don't think it "clogs" a lounge thread that's specifically for friendly discussion. The intro says "anything goes" even "what you had for lunch" but people get scolded if they talk about Star Trek for a minute? Seems like an arbitrary request.
Also I have no problem with people identifying themselves if they want to.

If there are topics I don't want to read about then I simply move on to the next. Just like with everything else here. If there's a pic of naked Stephen Fry and I don't feel like staring at it then I quickly scroll past it. If I know it's not my kink then I stay away from that kink. And if I start reading a fic but find out I don't like it for whatever reason then I simply stop reading it.

tldr The best approach is to pick out what appeals to you and ignore what does not but leave it be because it might appeal to someone else.

Duly noted.
