Okay, the thing I think I'm reacting to is the "fannishness" issue. It's the drift from "they don't meet my expectations," which is a personal statement, to questioning the fannishness of something, which goes way beyond individual response, that is tripping my trigger here. And that questioning the fannishness of vids that do certain things and not others seems to be operating throughout this entire discussion.

I think it's fine that you didn't like a couple of vids. If you had just said "I didn't like these couple of vids" and left it at that, then there would be no problem and no question of explanation. I never asked you to explain why you dind't like those vids. It's no skin of my nose or LoM's nose or the vidders' noses if you don't like those vids. But you opened the door to a whole host of larger matters in your self-questioning and I disagree with a lot of the assumptions that have been brought up or referenced by you or others about media fandom and vids and what they do.
