's posted a lengthy meta post about a fandom I'm not in, because I wonder what I could possibly contribute. But I can certainly appreciate the writing and the effort and the ability to convey what did (and didn't) work for them in that particular episode/series/etc — so I should try and be better!
Yes! Although I try to be careful about that because sometimes you (universal you) end up talking about something you don't really know about, but I think even just "I hate when shows queerbait" or whatever else works. Keep it simple if you're not familiar, but still try engaging.
What I meant to say (and didn't) was that I think a lot of people read, and don't know what to say, which also goes for RL posts. For instance, I don't have kids, so I never know how to respond to kid stuff because I have zero frame of reference. But I can always say, "I'm glad you and your sister had a nice time shopping together for your kids."
