In very non-specific (and long winded!) terms…
If someone is going to separate things by labels, then simply respect the “Internet rights” of freedom of expression of ALL the labelled parties to post in their comfort zones and styles.
Anyone can go on any board and lurk/read the existing posts to see where they might best gel.
If you can sit down and watch the show on Sundays as a momentary escape and entertainment it doesn’t make any difference how you label yourself or how anyone else labels you. TV viewing is a one on one event.
However, The Internet obviously exists for communication. All kinds. If you can or need to find a dwelling place on the Internet where you find like minded people with whom to share your appreciation, that is icing on the cake.
Not everyone likes the same cake flavors and no one should aggressively or belligerently tell them they should/shouldn’t ~but it happens and there is little you can do to stop them. You can always point blank ignore/block them at the very least if there is not an active, hands on moderating team. But moderators can’t be everywhere all the time. And they shouldn’t have to be forums “parents”, ever.
On most message boards, even ones with stringent guidelines, a poster can lurk around for a while and figure out who all posts where and what is the style of posting. Then join in or not.
When a thread clearly labels what goes on there and you enter it, talking and not just reading, you have made that choice and shouldn’t act surprised with whatever you experience.
If someone needs to express themselves differently or on a different level, one can find an existing thread or if one isn’t available, create one and enjoy the discourse
Shippers, non-shippers, antis, pros, whatever you classify yourself, or others, just post in whatever thread you chose with personal accountability and a semblance of common sense. There is space for all of it. 🙂
If you are the only one feeling or thinking a certain way, you will find out soon enough by a deafening silence or a torrent of opinion (grin)!
