neadods: [in lifeonmartha] Mickey, Martha, and the Message that Doesn't Belong on Who - When it was just Mickey, it was an unpleasant circumstance that could be handwaved. Now that it's Mickey and Martha, the implications that the black characters just aren't as interesting to the audience or beloved of the Doctor is unmistakable. [SPOILERS] -
- kateorman: [in backinblue] Clearly I am Not Getting Something. - There's also an extraordinary line of argument that the show has dissed both Martha and Mickey by making them Not As Good As Rose.[...]I'm flabbergasted by that thinking. [SPOILERS] -
- karnythia: [in backinblue] Martha as Mammy and yet more 'ism's in the Whoverse. - Sometimes the people who regularly have to experience racism? Know it when they see it. And when the white fans that also see it say "Oh my yes, it's clearly there?" Then the Emperor is not wearing new clothes and carrying a bouquet, he's naked and carryi -
- harriet_spy: One thing fandom needs to stop saying. Forever. - And that is that it is "aggravating" or "tedious" or whatever when people discuss gender and especially racial issues in source, because "it's all just fun!" and fandom is spoiling it for you.//Seriously. Just stop. -
- smallship1: Possibly NSFW discussion of a term that gets on my nerves - When people talk about "fandom wank" they are not describing people indulging in a harmless and pleasurable act which is practiced by (I would imagine) the vast majority of human beings at some point in their lives. They mean to belittle us. They mean to -
- fabu: Female characters, again - Even if you dislike only one female character, if your justification for that dislike is that she's promiscuous or sexually immoral, I have a problem with that. Particularly when the character's behavior is completely unexceptional and ordinary. -
- ear_to_heaven: How We Think vs. Our Latent Superpowers - One of the things I look for in a fandom is that common thread or implied suggestion that, in fact, WE are the chosen ones, that we too could access this kind of power if we only knew how to make the right choices. -
- painless_j: Entitlement? In a sense - You'd think that a good title is pretty of course but as unnecessary as, say, a hat. You can put on one, with ribbons and feathers, to fit your dress or coat, but you can do well without just fine, thank you. But in fact title is more like your face. -
- verstehen: I can think of no more appropriate topic - With the upcoming release of both the Order of the Phoenix movie and HP book 7, I find myself thinking more and more about what gets people to stop reading or stop watching a source canon. -
- cupidsbow: Re: Mixing - Having finally found a formula that seems to work for remixing, I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on the process. I'm not big on prescriptive Do's and Don't's, so I've written this more as a travelogue -
