Do you get up in arms

[starfish]

  When someone lists the wrong name, misspells, or gets something wrong with a fandom you love? I got all annoyed about someone listing no-face as howls moving castle in a link off of Ml. Like emailed the store to let them know with 6 different links showing them the correct info.
  Do you find your self protecting your fandoms more then you probably should?

All.the.time.

Harry Potter movies? No, Dobby gave Harry the information about the Room of Requirement! And the gillyweed as well, it wasn't Neville! GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE!

And of course Doctor Who. IT'S DOCTOR, NOT DR!

I AM A VERY PASSIONATE PERSON!!! YELLING! 

[Deleted]

YES.
I get weird about people abusing their computers, too.

[Pippin]

`Yes. In fact my DH and I are arguing right now about the accuracy of a quote from Zombieland.

Harrelson's line about not likeing the consistency of coconut. DH said it was texture, wrong!

The seller I schooled on Anime was really nice about me putting the smack down. Cause I totally put the fear of Spirted Away fans in her!
I find my self getting annoyed if in the middle of something I really enjoying then having someone come half way in and I have to explain things. I get all napoleon dynamite face and annoyed to have them come in my fandom on my time! Even with my DH, he is the worst! I am a horrible wife for how annoyed I get.

Tallahassee: [discovers Hostess truck filled with Sno-Balls] Sno-Balls? Sno-Balls? Sno Balls? Where's the fucking Twinkies?

Columbus: I love Sno-Balls.

Tallahassee: I hate coconut. Not the taste, consistency.

Columbus: [eats a Sno Ball] Fresh.

Tallahassee: Oh, this Twinkie thing, it ain't over yet.

[Dusky]

It depends. It only bothers me when a source pretending to be an authority gets facts wrong. Otherwise I vary between being amused and not caring.

I'm always amused because it seems to apply to absolutely any fandom. At work I once offered a kid a Thomas the Train sticker only to get the stink eye as he informed me it wasn't Thomas, it was Percy.

I'm not too picky, but it does set my teeth on edge when people say Josh Whedon.

[pirate]

Oh my gosh, you should see the email my H wrote our security officer about a factual error in a powerpoint slide about password strength. It was kind of embarrassing, really.  I try to keep my rants to people who will actually care.  Or if I just can't keep it in, I'll complain to H whether he cares or not, lol.

Who says that?

If anyone misquotes Futurama, I get twitchy.

One of my friends says it all the time. She likes some of his shows, and she has heard his name pronounced correctly many times. But just... says Josh.

[evans]

Yes. I try not to be too uptight about it especially with spelling of names. I sometimes have to look those up to see which the show is going with (like Skye vrs Sky on AoS).

[pixelpassion]

Yes, it drives me nuts

[GilliC]

I just realized that I get twitchy about misquoutes when I notice them. *twitch, twitch*

I first read that as mosquitoes and was all, yeah I would be twitchy about those as well!  

[secretlyevil]

I might be laughing hysterically at this thread but I do empathize.

[Dumbledork]

One non-geeky fandom thing that irks me all the damn time is the spelling of Cristina Yang on Grey's. People always spell it Christina and it makes me grumble every time I see it.

I've never seen it written. I had no idea!

[Nonny]

I'm that way about Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and The Shawshank Redemption.
