I get ENTIRELY what you mean. It's like the one stress-free area of fandom that's left? I mean, sure occasionally I'll skip past a vid I don't think I'll enjoy but...I've ALWAYS done that if it was a vid I don't think I'll enjoy, and as I mentioned previously there's a surprising amount of "let's just not focus on the finale," in the vidding comm which means...I don't feel that the LIKE IT/DISLIKE IT issues are as...front and centre? (Says she planning to make a 4.5 RAGE vid. Oops.)
I do know - as an extremely monofannish vidder though - what you mean about the weirdness of separating the areas out though because for me (and I think for you?) vidding is SOOOO tied up with my opinion on the show, it's basically a visual commentary. So while I totally get "vidding is my fandom" and appreciate it and love the art of vidding, vidding is not my fandom. But maybe BSG vidding is...?
Whatever, I say we don't question it and just go with what makes us have fun!
