ficbyzee: Yeah, okay, I'm on hiatus but I just rea - None of these bands are selling records because they kiss each other onstage. Personally, I think it's awesome that these bands are reaching out to gay fans with the way they sometimes behave, and yet are also mainstream; -
- merryish: Unpopular fannish opinion theatre - I come to fandom to escape the issues and pressures of real life. I don't care if a vid or a story or a discussion thread is objectively Important; I would far rather they be subjectively entertaining, thanks. -
- sistermagpie: An Author's Morals - Mostly I get edgy at the very idea of having any responsibility to recreate the author's beliefs about anything, because to be honest to me that immediately translates into "Here's why my fanfic is just a little bit more canon than yours" and just...no. -
- elanor_x: Should fanfic writers conform to the "morality" of original authors? - Personally, I think the reality is that the moment a writer publishes something, his books interact with a reader themselves, and their author's morals/interviews aren't relevant at all. -
- belladonnalin: Fandom's not all about squee, people: gender, sexuality, race, class, and how we speak - isn't this just a focusing device for these larger conversations? It's hard as hell to talk about meta-level theories of race or class or sexuality[...], but it's EASY to talk about Gerard Way and Frank Iero making out on stage[...]And that is a GOOD thin -
- mmmchelle: Gay Politics, Larry Craig, and Men with Guitars - why do they have to be gay or straight? Why can't a man have a sexual relationship with a woman yet still fool around with his male friends? Why don't we have room for a variety of intimate relationships with varying levels of physical intimacy? -
- wearemany: this is not a fight song - here is a short list of things that feel true to me. i do my best to act accordingly://a) sexuality and gender and sex are more complicated than all of us put together will ever be able to figure out,//b) and thank god. -
- commodorified: There seem to be some queer sorts of ructions going on - I gather from metafandom that some boys have been kissing some other boys, and these boys are of a sexual orientation which includes, and may even be confined to, girls.//I think the last time this came up it was girlfans flirting with other girlfans on L -
- quettaser: Gladys would not approve of these shenanigans - In defense of the OP, she made a lot of false statements, but I think the impetus for the post is a valid one. She felt uncomfortable and wanted to examine why. -
- jeyhawk: Open Letter To Bad Fic Writers (but the rest of you should read it too). - This letter is not meant to target anyone in particular, on my flist or otherwise. If you feel targeted, then please consider the points I'm making and learn to be a better writer. My intent is not to discourage people from writing, -
- ataniell93: On that whole Gay Appropriation idiocy... - Kissing, hugging and snuggling are nobody's special property. Every human being does these things with the people he or she loves when the chance arises, unless something is dreadfully wrong. -
