Dear Kristen Bell - What are your thoughts on yaoi?
Kristen Bell, the star of the tv show Veronica Mars did an interview with Teen Vogue in which she dissed Logan/Veronica, the fan favorite and arguably the canon OTP of the show as "gross."
It's the fifth diss in two months.
From ONTD:
Oh, Noes! She got her facts ALL WRONG! And she doesn't watch the show!
libertybellbell:
Sigh. Logan and Veronica were not dating when he slept with Kendall. She had already dumped his ass, effectively breaking his heart.
Say what you will about Logan, but Kristen's outspokenness about how opposed she is to the Veronica/Logan relationship is cheapened by the fact that she doesn't actually watch the show.
Good advice from the cheap seats:
bliccy:
Dear Kristen,
Watch your own show so you know what actually happened. Also, shut the fuck up. :(
Duncan was much grosser!
xkayers:
I wouldn't consider Dick to be a friend of Veronica's, so Logan wasn't sleeping with her friend's step-mother. Also, she had already dumped Logan for her BORING ex-beau, Duncan, so it's not like Logan ever cheated on her or anything. So... what is the problem here? That's one thing that bugs me about Kristen Bell. She's so against the show's "biggest" pairing and prefers her character be with that boring toad Duncan. Gross, no thanks.
I JUST WANT TO BE HEARD:
indilme:
I hate LoVe. With a passion.
Don't make me use the capslock of RAGE, fandom! Whoops, too late:
_allshallfade:
How dare she have her own opinions about the show and not want Veronica with Logan! DOESN'T SHE KNOW THAT'S A SIN?!?!
I don't like Kristen Bell and think she is stupid:
bohochic:
Kristen Bell please watch your own show before you make comments about the characters and their relationships.
This is not a smart way to promote your show dumbass.
It's a sex conspiracy!
_sochiq:
conspiracy: kristen is fucking teddy dunn inbetween scenes.
No VM wank is completely without a mention of Buffy:
loverly:
oh dear god, her transformation to Sarah Michelle Gellar is almost complete!
Let's concentrate on the important stuff:
queen_haq:
I can't take the opinions of someone who wears a yellow muumuu seriously. I just can't.
Someone would be glad to help out:
icequeen1502:
Kristen.... Do you not want to make out with Jason Dohring or something? Because I can gladly fill that position.
Duncan was bad in bed:
cinaminsweet:
I &heart; you, KB. But I think it was grosser when Veronica slept with Duncan. I have to fastforward through that scene. Thanks, Rob, for only subjecting us to it once. :)
If only the show wasn't called Veronica Mars...
yled:
well...I still dont get why she's still duve and she still says that logan is not good enough for veronica.....again
LOGAN ALWAYS SAVES YOU!!! Damn it, If it wasnt for him, you would be dead and with a tattoo in your face
Is veronica the one who never trust, and the one who is always pushing him away....why people dont see that?
Logan, next time, let her die.
OMG Oppression:
bunny_lita:
She doesn't have to watch the show to not like Logan. She's the star of the damn thing. I think she knows what happens. She's an actress. She does her part and goes home. She's allowed to have opinions. Frankly I'd be more annoyed if she just towed the company line instead of voicing her real opinions.
Duncan has cooties:
surrexi:
...meanwhile, if we want to talk about Veronica's self-respect level, let's talk about how she got back together with the guy who basically date-raped her, definetely abandoned her without explanation or any attempt to soften the blow, and was so obsessed with her that he beat up his car when she hooked up with Logan, even though he was dating Meg at the time. Because that's healthy. Not to mention that he was willing to abandon a pregnant Meg the second Veronica was available. Why does KBell insist on painting Duncan as the perfect boyfriend? Both Logan and Duncan have their faults (significant ones in both cases), but I'd say Logan comes off smelling a lot rosier than Duncan. Certainly less batshit crazy.
Looks like Veronica Mars really got the perfect lead-in:
gah_warrior:
It's totally Lauren Graham/Scott Patterson all over again, from Gilmore Girls.
"OMG LAUREN DOESN'T LIKE LUKE AND LORELAI TOGETHER SHE LIKES CHRIS OMG OMG OMG SHE MUST HATE SP DOES SHE EVEN WATCH HER SHOW WTF??????//"
Then there is the Veronica Mars community.
Mischa Barton envy:
queen_haq:
I think KB should just admit the truth. She wants Veronica Mars to be Marissa Cooper.
FANDOM SUCKS! OMG Oppression, the sequel:
blessed_beast:
I personally find it horribly rude that people get angry at an actress (someone they know next to nothing about) over one sentence she says. How disgusting is it to judge a person (especially KB) about the way she speaks? She doesn't like Veronica being with Logan. Well neither do I and plenty of other people? Is this alone grounds for hating someone? Absolutely not, and if you feel that way, then I'm sorry to say it, but you're just a disgusting human being.
KB will get the show cancelled and then will be a homeless unemployed bum on the streets:
killerspork33:
Hey KB? Your show needs new fans in order for you to keep your job.
Could you cut it back just a little bit with the bad PR? Cause really, your competition in the time slot called and wanted to thank you.
Some small grammar wank:
digital_med:
"If you were dating a guy." - Past tense.
"If you are dating a guy." - Present tense.
Mkay?
mandee_jayne:
"If you were dating a guy" - Hypothetical present tense.
"If you had been dating a guy" - Hypothetical past tense.
I think she probably meant hypothetical past tense, but *technically* she didn't say it right.
No fandom diss is complete without mentioning Shatner aka OMG Oppression III:
kelex:
Shatner had it right; GET A LIFE. It's television, y'all. Good, engaging, wonderful TELEVISION. That means, FAKE. That means Kristen Bell really *isn't* Veronica Mars. And if Kristen Bell doesn't like Logan, who cares? Seriously. Kristen Bell *liked* Teddy Dunn, and is sad he's gone, but you know, nobody gave two shits about her liking Teddy and defending Teddy until it got in the way of her liking Logan, and then woe betide her for saying a damn thing.
Get real, folks. If you're going to lose your loyalty for a television show over crap like this, it's no wonder good shows get cancelled before they have a chance.
cindywrites wants to mail the show's headwriter/creator/producer. Does anyone have his email address? She has something important to tell him:
If it's not the case, then oh golly gee whillikers, Rob, it would be nice if you, or someone who works on your show would let your lead in on the ACTUAL back story. I've given up hope with regards to KB on this point in the canon. She's said she doesn't watch the show. At this point, I blame others. If she's made a mistake (which as far as I can tell from watching the show, she has), then nobody who both knows better and has her ear has bothered to correct her. I mean, has this never come up on set, when a director's been discussing her motivation for a scene?
athenacqd comes to Bell's defense, since two wrongs obviously make one right:
I made a point in an earlier post of mine on my LJ, but I don't get why Jason gets a free pass in interviews and everything KB says gets overanalyzed and critiqued.
In in the interview with NPR, Jason said it was ok if Dick had a hand in Veronica's rape because "I wasn't that into her then."
...
That is a horrible, horrible thing to say and clearly not at all what Jason, not having thought through the implications of a very significant plot of the story, meant to say. He never thought about how the rape affected Dick and Logan's relationship so he spouted off a highly offensive answer.
And nobody commented. In all the comments about how Jason calls Kristen "KB" or about poker or whatever, I never saw one critique of that comment.
Is it annoying that Kristen says stuff like this? Sure. But I'm so over the double standard. I adore Jason, but if we are going to analyze and detail everythign Kristen says, then Jason shouldn't get a pass.
naty_ weighs in Colbert-style:
"Okay, be honest," naty begins. "If you were dating a guy, and he dumped you without explanation (because he thought you were his sister), ignored you, engaged in questionably-consensual sex with you (um, still thought you were his sister)1, continued to ignore you, lied to you2, made your exploration of what you considered to be your rape all about his (considerable) issues3, and ran over & then ate your dog4, would you take him back? Because I think it's a little gross."
1. This is my OPINION. As such, it cannot be commented on, criticized, mocked or otherwise responded to in any way that does not include adoration and praise.
2. I work LONG HOURS, y'all. Seriously. Therefore I cannot be held responsible for anything I say in a public forum.
3. You guys don't really KNOW ME. You can't just respond to my public statements. Why don't you get out of the house more?
4. And so what if I sometimes slip up on facts? I'm not a fan of facts.
